OSHKOSH COURIER

January 18, 1861

The Northwestern Office has commenced the publication of a daily paper – a little affair, about the size of a small baby’s bib and tucker. It is issued every afternoon at sunset. As one luminary goes down the other rises, and sheds over the city a flood of "latest news" brought in by the Milwaukee and Chicago papers the night before. It is a stupendous enterprise, but we have every confidence that the energy of Nevitt and the genius of his heavy editor are fully competent to sustain it – until it breaks down.
