L. & S., now the Saginaw Div. M. C. R. R., was completed. The excellent facili- ties afforded by these roads, together with the advantages of an outlet by river, have made Owosso a prominent shipping and trading point for a large section of good agricultural country. It numbers among its manufacturing interests 2 flouring mills. 3 furniture factories, 2 planing mills, 2 brick vards, a brewery, tannery, handle factory, foundries, etc.

Evangelical aud Lutheran churches, a large brick Union school building and 3 ward schools. a national and private bank, an opera hall. scating 600, a ladies' library association. with 1,500 volumes, and a weekly news- paper, the Press (Democratic).
The city has a bonded indebtedness of $25,000. A large furniture factory recently completed, one of the prominent features. employs 200 men.
Grain, fruit, flour, furniture, wool. leather. lumber, sash and doors, are lead- ing exports. Express, American. Mail. daily by rail and tri-weekly by stage from West Haven, 64 miles north. Telegraph. Western Union. I. A. Hamblin, post- master.
