Caught at Last.

For three or four years past,
every Summer and Fall, cattle have
been missed from different locali-
ties in this county, and it was sup
posed that they had straycl or be-
come lost in the woods. Oxen and
COWS frequently came up missing,
were briefly advertised as "Straycd
or Stolcn," and after month or
two waiting and hunting, were Civ
en- up, and the owners were COM
PEELED to buy others to fill the de-
ticiency or go without. A few days
ago Frank Wooden, who lives near
Evart, missed an OK; and started
out for Il search. Tracing him by
peculiar track to Evart, there he
learned that Avery BRANDON had
passed a man leading the OK at 8
o'clock in the morning, north of
Evart. Frank followed the tracks,
and for day or two traced them
till he arrived at Falmouth, where
lie found that man who was
known as "Thc Old Butcher had
just killed a "bccf." Upon search
ing the butchers premises, Frank
found hind quarter of beef, the
hide Of his OK hidden under some
straw and the hoofs hidden in anoth-
or place. lie knew the hide by Il
peculiar scar on the hip, and the
hoofs by an old break on one OF
them and which had made the pc
culiar track by which he followed
the trail. A warrant was issued,
and the man whose name is John
Wagonmakcr, was brought before
Esq. Dexter, of Eyart, and after
an examination was committed for
trial at the next term of the Oscco-
ia Circuit Court. Officer Dueslcr
brought him to Jail OH Monday
evening. From the spot where the
OK was slaughtered to the owners
farm the distance is over 30 miles.
Wagonmakcr claims that he bought
the OK between Eyart and IIcrscy,
of a man lie did not know, but as
he told two different stories about
it, little crcdcnce is given to his
.statcmcnt.-Oscco'a Outline.

Tha Stlry OF A NEWSPAPER.
\ RARE CASE OF JOURNALISTIC Ste.
CESS IN OUR WOLVERINE METROPOLIS
A little Inside History in Regard to
the Detroit Evening News.

Correspondence of the wyandottc Courier.
DETROIT, November Sth.-- While so
many news paper ventures turn out
disastrous failures, It seems wonderful
the success that the little Eveni,,0
.yc,Os Of this city has achieved, and ali
in the short period of but little over
three years. When I'm the sum mer of
1873 the paper was first announ ced, no
one supposed il could succeed, and some
of the most experienced journalists of
this city, predicted that its founder Mr..
James i. Scripps, would In a few
months sink on It all he had made in
the Tribune In fourteen long years. It
was started, too just before the disas-
trOus money panic Of which the cOun-
try has not even yet ceased to feel the
effects. But the paper was from the
hrst well received. In six months Il
wns paying expenses. In 1874 it re-
turned good remunerative profit, and
this understand has since increased
year by year till it IL doubtful If fanny
detroit paper Is now doing better
financially.
What has been the cause of this re-
niarKable succcss,yOur readers will nat
uraiiy ask. Well, first think IL was
pcca'hc the enterprise was managed
ny one who thoroughly understood his
business. This Is always an impor-
TAN element of success and no where
more 40 than In the precarious business
OF newspaper publishing. The low
price VI the paper, also,no doubt had
great influence In securing for it Its
large circulation. There are times
when the difference between two cents
and five cents is to the great mass Of the
an important consideration. |
Another secret lay I'm the NcWs fur
nislling itself from the outset with ma
cI,inery capable of printing as many
papers an would I've likely under any
to be called for. Its
fast rotary press turns out regularly
from $500 to 10000 papers per hour,
and has In emergicies been run even ut
the rate of 1900 copies. Thus while
the papers using the old fashioned fiat

NO PLAYING At REFORM.

The following article from the N. Y.
Evening Post, a paper, that in every re-
spect. isa credit TO newspaper literature,
is worthy Of the careful reading OF all
those who still believe in, and would
perpetuate republican institutions. There
must, in truth, be mo playing at re-
iorm," if we would redeem republican
ism from what is immeasurably worse
than failure, from infamy.
The machine politicians are not going
to be easily defeated. They have too
much at stake, and they are too adroit in
their management Of affairs to surrender
at the first shot. They will fight as
long rs there is hope, and their manner
Of fighting will be to do the best they can
for themselves and the worst for the
public, or, in other words. the worst
they dare. They have already nearly
given up the notion of carrying their own
special csndidates-.hat is, their Nor
tons, Conslings and Blaines-and their
next plan will be- to start obscure or un-
known men, who, seemingly not theirs.
will yet no less serve their purposes.
Their principal reliance just now is on

ally means the continuance OF abuses.
