GRAND RAPrps. April 2, 1877.
Mr.. Gavett, the agent Of the Rev.
nue. Department, having supervisi"a
of the State OF Michigan, Northern
Ohio and Northern Indiana, with head
quarters at Detroit, accompanied BY
Deputy Marshal Il. X. Sperry, Of ST.
Johns, have for week past been on an
expedition through the counties OF
Montcalm, Clinton aud Gratiot in
search of an illicit match mandatory
and have just arrived here with four
prisoners, two OF whom, Eli Wissler
and Lewis Keniield, were the proprie-
tors Of the factory. which was located
about six miles northeast of Greenville.
But few months since they removed
il to country and made millions OF
matches, and had peddlers on the road
selling them without payment OF tax
and without stamps. Wissler a Ken
field were held to bail by Commission
er Hinsdall in the sum Of 81, 600 each
in default of which they we're commit
ted to Jail. The two peddlers of these
matches agents Of the manufacturers
are Jacob Jacott, of Montcalm county,
and Frank Buttolph, of Clinton conn
ty. They each pleaded guilty and were
held to bail. The .oficers captured
over 200. 900 OF these unstamped match
er, and when the manufacturers pay
the tax and penalties on what they
have made doubtless they will find
small profit in their fraud, and honest
manufacturers will be protected. The
matches have been turned over to Col
lectors Doland 4 Bailey for confsca-
ton.

saieon Keepers mad.

That the saloon-keepers' business is
seriously affected by the temperance
reform movement, Is made apparent
daily. They are much offended with
those who have taken an active inter
eat in the movement, and in helping IL
along. and they show the spirit which
actuates them in a way by no means
creditable TO them As gentlemen. Not
long since Mr.. G. r. Mabley, the cloth
ier, joined in the movement with great
enthusiasm, aud some 30 or 40 OF his
clerks signed the roll with him. The
saloon keepers have vented their petty
spite upon Mr.. Mabley, by sending
back TO him handsomely lithograph-
ell and framed view OF his place OF bus
mess, which had been hung in some OF
their places. Offensive inscriptions
are written upon most OF the pictures
thus returned. These are n few sam
pies: Don't want this any more. Mr..
Mabley has joinel the temperance
crowd" Hang this up in the Red
Ribbon hall" go 10 H." "Re.
turned because Mr.. Mabley has joined
DIR. Reynolds drunkards." One wa,
destroyed by having words painted up
on its face; another had red ribbor
tied upon il, and so on. This shows
that the saloon keepers feel the efiec
OF the temperance movement, and tha
they will visit their wrath upon al
those who help IL along. Some o
them try 10 iDjnre Mr.. Mabley's 5usi
ness by saying all sorts OF things abou
him aud his employees. One Of then

THE SALINE HOMICIDE.
ASS ARBoR, April 2, 1877

ANN ARBoR, Aprll x, 1917.
Your correspondent had an interview
with George Cook, the murderer OF
William Il. Batey, OF Saline, at the
county Jail this morning, and from this
interview, together with facts CLEANED
from other sources, he learns that the
affair was about as follows: Some days
ago Batey was arrested on the charge
OF seduction, preferred against him by
Miss Amelia Briggs, of Saline. He
was arraigned in open court, plead not
guilty, aud in default OF $500 bail was
remanded 10 the calaboose. The case
was subsequently, withdrawn by Mr.. j.
w. Babbitt, the prosecuting attorney,
and the prisoner discharged. Prior TO
all this Batey had kept company with
several young ladies of Saline, and had
il seems, been paying particular atten-
tion b. Miss Sarah Cook, the sister of
the prisoner. Thursday evening OF
last week he went riding with her aud
was out all night. From the testimony
OF the girl, given before the coroners
Jury, on Saturday. it appears that she
had promised 10 marry Batey, aud that
they went to Stoney Greek, to have the
ceremony performed. Not.tinding the
clergyman, they returned to Saline,
getting back at very early hour Fri
day morning. About 7;30 o'clock she
left Batey's home and went to her
mothers to get her things, preparatory
TO going away again. She and her
mother had some words, the girl say
ing: Goodbye, mother; I'm not com
ing back 20 live with you any more.
I'm going 10 Batey's to live" Her
brother said something about shooting
Batey, when she left the house ano
started for Batey's home. Cook fol.
| lowed his sister with his riae on his
arm. She started for Batey's by the
back lane, and her brother came down
across the meadow and struck the road.
Batey was coming from Edward Ar.
de,l's q neighbcr who lives across the
way. Miss Cook saw him and shouted
"Bill, for Gods sake runi Gede q
nickname for George is going to shoot
you." Batey started TO run for his owr

ON A SPANISH RAILROAD.

In the express trains one meets with
dark haired. dark-vissaged gentlemen.
who draw their hats down over their
eyes and puff cigarette smoke contin-
ually through their nostrils, who con-
verse little, and who only unbend from
their naughty demsanor when some
beautiful giil, with her lace mantiila
drsping her fine neck and shoulders,
enters the carriage. But in the slow
trains one gets even more knowledge
of the Spanish populace than he Is de-
sirous OF acquiring. The Spaniard
when he travels appears 10 fancy that
he has an inalienable right TO take
with him in the same car in which he
rides all his household goods and farm
produce. A stout farmer, clad IN
blouse. a pair OF white corduroys.
leathern sandals, and broad hat with
little tassels around its edges, chambers

ed. He hands his nearest neighbor
cage of chickens, deposits small bag
of -four in young girls lap, pulls MS
growing dog in after him, sets a pask-
et OF eggs on an old woman1s gouty
toes, scrambling into a fraction OF a
seat, smiles, makes a hundred apollo
gies. aud lights q cigarette. Two or
three muleteers, clad in striped cloaks,
perfume the car with garlic. A soldier
with his gun slung over his back,
pokes the muzzle Of the dangerous
weapon into his neighbor's eye occa-
sionally. Every one interlards his or
her conversation with interjections, and
often with oaths shocking to ears po-
lite. II the journey is long. some clev-
er fellow pulls guitar out OF a bag,
thrums its strings, huns a ballad In
which the others join, laughing ana

and now aud then keeping time by
clapping their hands and stamping

stops TO allow the passengers to refresh

pose twenty minutes to be the time al
lowed; every one seats himself solemn

and slowly eats and moderately drinks,
smoking between the courses. As the
twenty minutes period approaches Its
end, the guard rings bell loudly and
calls the senores TO the train. few
persons look around languidly, az ii
astonished at an unusual noise, but
they do not bestir themselves. On the
contrary. they settle into their chairs
and address themselves To the desert.

OF DER the lovely hill and deli.
Where gentle zephyrs rise and swell.
We hear the pealing college bell.
In tones profound
When with a mellow voice II calls
To those within lts classic halls,
But on whose ear the music falls
With startling sound
It's echo bursts upon our DREAMS
As early MONS hrst rnddy beams
Tints hfil and dale and placid streams,
And oceans deep
Dlspelling all the visions bright,
Whose presence nils us with delight
We cannot as they fade from sight
Forbear 10 weep.
Fond dreams OF hreslde far away,
Where loved ones meet, where love holds
sway,
Where prayers ascend both night aud day
For abeent one
There beneath old homesteads bowers.
Midst trailing vines and perfumed flowers,
We spent our ehlldhood's happy hours,
Which now have gone.
But while the bell, with pealing tone.
Does all our morning dreams dethrone.
Yet noble thoughts IL does enihrone
Within our breast -
II bids ns wake aud learn of men.
Whose deeds were traced by ancient pen
Ol heroes who were loved cen then
With greatest zest.
IL bids Us delye In mystic lore
10 open erudilion's door.
And all the riches there explore
In quest of truth;
And, with the knowledge which We lind.
To fili the chambers Of the mind,
So that It's principles may bind
And guide our youth.
Then let the college bell e'er ring
And neighboring welkin echoes bring
Fond memories ever round thee cling
OF college Joys.
And when, amid life's active scenes,
With busy care our pathway teens,
Well ne'er forget onr school-day dreams
