Railroad letter to the Detroit
Tribune from Marshall, Mich, con-
tains the following:
The Marshall and ColdwGter Rail-
road is progressing finely. From
Muir to Elm Hail, Gratiot County,
the grading is being rapidly crowded
along; between VermOntville and
Muir the progress is somewhat slow
er, but since harvest is over Che work
will be pushed very vigorously. From
COldWater to Pcninsular Railroad the
little that remains to be done will be
completed in full season for the track
laying, which will not occur so soon
as had been hoped, owing to the delay
on the Mansfield & COldWater line.
It is reported that the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, is seeking for a line to
COldwater, and that if successful, this
corporation will negotiate for the con-
troll Of the Marshall ana COldwater
Railroad, with an eye to Maclzinaw.
We have relied upon the Pennsyl-
vaia Central to iron and operate our
enterprise; but have no doubt that
the competition between these two
powerful comps nies will be for our
advantage.

Visit to CaFey.-Last Monday we
paid q short visit to Carey, and were
much surprised at the numerous i'm
provements that have taken place
within the past two or three years.
We found it emphatieaIly live town.
The citizens have adopted a thorough
system Of drainage and macadamiz-
ing, which gives them good streets
and ensures far better health than
would otherwise be enjoyed. \ great
many new buildings have recently
been erected, all OF a neat and substan-
tiaI character, among which are ma
ny very neat business houses. We
have not the space to say as much IS
we would Ike, or as tue town really
deserves, but viii give merely . sort
Of business directory, TO give an idea
Of what is done by the principal
houses. Doubtless we failed to get the
names of many enterprising men
from lack Of time but they can be
mentioned hereafter.

Nbaoonded,

Mr.. Z. J. Warner, the station agent
of the NJ, X. & T. road and express
agent, at Council Grove, came down
the Neosho yesterday morning on q
railroad train, In hot haste, in pursuit
Of his clerk, young man named A. Q.
Perry, who was also the telegraph
operator at said city. For q week
or more, Mr.. Warner has been con-
sciOus of deficiency OF about $500 in
the Express Office, and was quietly
awaiting q convenient occasion to
charge the deficiency upon his clerk,
whom he suspicioned. Upon going to
his ONCE yesterday morning, he found
the ONCE closed, and finding the key in
It's usual hiding place, he went in, and
his observations led him 70 the conelu-
sion that Perry had decamped. Ar
operator was found after considerable
delay, and the conductor on the morn
ing train answered that Perry hat
come down on the train as far a
this city. Mr.. Warner came down Inn
Imedlately, and has dispatched message
in all directions for the apprehension
of the delinquent. Perry was seei
J here this morning, and got on the east
! ern train, saying that he was going +
Buriingame. Mr.. Perry is.-a younI
man, with dark moustache and chi
, whIskers cut rather short, wore gra,
suit, and weighs about $50 pounds, ]
} is not known what amount Of none
! he may have taken from the ONCE. j
is believed he can not escape.

Hay BURNING AT AszERIcUs.

AMERIcUs Feb. 8, 1872.
EDITOR NEWS Sir: I noticed in
your last weeks paper some remarks
in regard to the burning of hay on
Dow creek, stating that such work
was confined to that locality. As /
have never seen any account Of hay
being burned in this place by incen-
diaries, presume your correspondent
forgot to mention it. ! viii not at
tempt TO write q newspaper article, but
will give you the facts in regard to it.
Last summer my husband put up 100
tons of hay. In October he bought so
head Of Texas cattle; and while IL
miles from home, herding his cattle,
on the morning Of the first of Decem-
Der last, and no one at home but my
self and boy, II years Of age, the CEN
ter stack was fired by ineendiaries.
The alarm was soon given, and the
citizens, with the lodge of Good
Templars, which was in session when
the alarm was given, turned out and
soon had the fire under control, and
saved about e-tourths Of the hay
I cannot speak in too high praise Of
their efforts to save it. Some of them
stood at their posts till their hands ant
faces were burned nearly TO q blister
expressing many wishes that the one
that applied the torch had q warmel
place.
In conclusion I will say we have
law abiding community, with the ex
exception of some few who lefE othe
States for the good Of the same, and
they should sOnclude to do so again
think but few would regret it.

not think so strange that many Of the
Texas cattle being wintered here die
The fact is, that nearly ali of the
Texas cattle stopping in Kansas are
Just the call out of the herds brought
up, such as win not pay to drive OF
ship farther east. Thesc are bought ur
by the farmers through the country al
very low figures, and If they do lose
heavily, those that live through, by the
next fall, are rolling fat and. fit to ship
to Chicago or st. Louis for beef
In reference to some other herds OF
Texas cattle in this part Of the county,
learn that VIM. Douglass, just north
Of Reading, has about 200 head. He
has lost but one or tive. A little above
him, on the creek, is Luther Seyery,
just over the line in Usage county, who
has between 400 and 500 head. He
has only lost four head, and two OF
them by ailments that might kill the
best of cattle. There are other men in
that neighborhood who have Texas
cattle, but at present I am not in pos
session Of facts in regard to their num-
Der or particular condition. But none
have lost very heavy.
We have bad an unusually long cold
spell Tor kansas. The ground froze up
about the 10th of November, and 1t has
not yet thawed out. On the Sd of
December, at sunrise, the mercury was
40 degrees above zero; on the 4th it
was 6 below. The other days when
the mercury went to zere or below,
were December Is, &c and "a, January
%, %, so and 81. On the 10Th and
S0th it was 10 degrees below; four de-
grees colder than any other days Of the
winter in WATERLOO.

The Herd Law-Contlnusd.
AMER1ous. February. 1s7:

AMERICUs, February, 1872.
EDITORS NEWS: In the last issue of
THE NEWS are some expressions
against the herd law. Allow me, If
you please, to express my regrets at
such narrow views entertained by cor
respondents to your valuable paper.
A man who would openly assert his
aversion to the settling of these up
lands, must, in my humble judgment,
be blind to the best interests of our
county and State, especially when he
assigns IS his only reason, that they
want them for the benefit of the spec
ulator and for stock grazing. Now ]
wish to offer few reasons for favor
ing herd Law: 1t would prevent SO
many losses by strays. 1t would ena-
Bile men to fence their lands with hedge
at one half the expense they now can
There is as much Justice in requiring
stock dealers, who handle so much
money to fence their stock, away from
the poor mans corn and wheat field
as there is in requiring him to fence
his field from the stock. It would
make our county more valuable to have
those lands improved and put In state
of cultivation. We would soon i'm
prove the condition of stock, and not
have the unpleasing sight of q living
mass of bones walking about in our
stock yards. CATTLE HERDER.

Col. J. j. Back. who, although not q
Rev." as he was inadvertently dubbed
in the Commonwealth of Wednesday
last, but temperance man upon WHOM
as such there is no discount, made one
of his characteristic speeches ia. the
Hall of Representatives, at Topeka, be-
fore one of the largest audie noes that
ever assembled In the Hall, on Tuesday
evening last, In behalf of the change
in the law of the State regulating the
traffic in liquors. Col. Buck is as well
posted in the defects of the old Dram
shop Act as any man in the State, and
being one of the oldest practitioners o.
law in our city, Is pretty well qualifi-
ed to tell just what kind of q law il
needed that can be sustained. He Il
withal a man of good judgment, ana
one of our most earnest, active work
0rs In behalf of temperance.
The Commonwealth, after giving
quite lengthy synopsis of his speech
which bat for lack of space We would
reproduce here, says:
We regret we can not give full re-
port of Colonel Bucks argumentivC
and eloquent address. The temperance
people have a "trump card In him
and the audience appreciated his re-
marks by the closest attention and
rounds OF applause at its conclusion.

Fine Cattle

On Monday last, our attention was
attracted to soma remarkably fine cat
tie passing through our streets. On
inquiry, we found they were from the
fine herd of Mr.. j. NJ. Haymaker, Of
Paint township, in this county, and
consisted Of Mr., HIS fine bull, "Crown
DHke,n which has been so much ad-
mired by lovers OF fine stock, when on
exhibition at our county fair last year,
and-th year previous. There were
also three as fine cows with two calves
all OF the Short Horned Durham stock
and taking the lot together, they are
said TO be as fine blooded and complete
In .symmetry as any stock that has
ever been taken from our county
They were purchased of Mr.. Haymak-
er by Rev. Mr.. frey, of Mansfield
who Is now on his way to. Emporia
Kansas, where he has located and de-
signs to make his future home. We
hear Mr.. frey spoken of as a gentle
man every way worthy of the conf
dence and friendship of stock men, and
of the community where he is noN
about to become a citizen.-FayettC
Co. (O.) Herald.
The family of Mr.. frey is already
here, Mr.. F. is still on the way. We
extend them a cordial welcome. We
are always glad to hear of good, sub
stantial men locating in our city ant
county. Their advent always lends
encouragement to the efforts put fortt
to develop sound, healthful, social anC
commercial systems.

DOM. poNn. for Coal.

After the adjournment of the spec
ial session of the City Council last Sat
urdsy night, the committee, appointed
at meeting of the .siness men the
week before to draft a, eicles of associa-
ton for Coal Mining Company, sub
mitted their report, Mayor Jay having
previously been chosen chairman Of the
meeting.
The probability Of finding coal, and
the cost and mode of procedure pre-
Iiminary thereto, were discussed, while
all united in expressing the absolute
necessity for work In that direction.
On motion committee, composed Of
one from each ward, was, appointed to
canvass their respective wards for sub
scribers to the enterprise-the commit
tee consisting OF 1. Z. Perley, Esq, LIST
ward; Col. j. II. Steele, I'd ward; Van
r. Holmes, Esq, Sd ward; and Judge
z. w. Cunningham, 4th ward.
The amount of capital stockvas fix
ed at $50; 900, and shares at $780, 10 per
cent. Of which Is to be paid mp immed-
lately, in order to secures charter, and
additional assessmentssWill be made as
they become necessary, to pay the ez-
pense of boring, and (If coal is found)
to sink shaft and put the enterprise
in successful operation. Nelson Whit
tlesey, Esq, and Major Z. p. Bancroft
were appointed as corresponding
committee, and they will make it their
business to find out all they can as to
the cost of drilling, etc., by communi-
eating with parties engaged in the bus
ines. Considerable stock was taken
by different persons present at the
meeting, and we have not the least
doubt that it will all be subscribed very
soon, probably before this goes to
press.
Ir is to be hoped this work will be
prosecuted with the vigor its import
ance deserves. At most liberal esti-
mate, between $50 900 and SOC, 900 are
consumed per annum In the stoves Of
this city. II any one doubts the truth OF
this statement, letysuch individual esti-
mate the cost Of keeping up one stove
per year, and multiply that by the
probable number of stoves used in the
city. This outlay, if saved to this city,
would be worth more than the appro-
priation to the Normal School, COM
mcrcially considered. The result of
this enterprise, If successful to the ex-
tent Of reducing the price of coal to 10
cents per bushel, VIII be at least so, 900
saved annuaIlylt the consumers IN the
city, besides opening a market that
will bring into the city ten times more
msney than is now, sent out for this
article. We wal not stop to speculate
now upon the possible, or even proba-
bic, results of the success of this enter
prize. Some of our readers might
think us visionary, if not insane. But
wait and see. AS TO the possibility OF
finding coal, We think its certainty is
a foregone conclusion. Let her bore.

Monday night, and failed to appear,
and P. B. Chaillu, the great African
traveller and explorer and the man who
according to the senior councilman OF

was advertised to lecture last night,
and he did not come.
Those who went TO hear Dn Chaillu
last night were happily disappointed,
however, in hearing Mr.. ]. w. Burrows,
the talented Superintendent of Public
Instruction Of Usage comfy, whom
the Association was so fortunate to
secure in place of the traveller who
failed to come. The subject Of Mr..
Barrows' lecture was samuel Adams,
or the Politician of a Hundred Years

learn, were much better entertained
than they could have been by the lee
turer advertised for the occasion. The

people, all of whom left feeling much
