The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1866-08-24

Two RIvERs.-A visit 10 our sister
village of Two Rivers during the past
week afforded US an opportunity of seeing
the numerous improvements now being
made By our enterprising neighbols. We
also availed ourselves of the invitation OF
Mr. JosEPH MANN, and visited his exten
sve factories. The chair factory is under
the direction Of Mr.. JENNIsoN, who very
politely showed us through all the depart
ments, and enlightened US as to the vari
Gus operations and Of the many compli-
Gated and ingenious machines there in
use. Chairs are manufactured here by
wholesale. But chairs are not the only
articles manufactured, for we found in
their rooms, bureaus, tables, bedsteads,
stands of ali sizes and kinds, cribs, cra>
dies and many other articles, for all Of
which we were told they had a ready
market at fair figures.
The pail and tub factory is under the
charge OF Mr.. ALBEE, to whom we were
indebted for gentemany attentions on
our visit. In this factory there is some
exceedingly ingenious and beautiful ma
chinery. And the way they turn out
pals here is almost beyond credence
They can make and finish 1000 pals a
dav, besides wash-tubs, butter>tubs, hand
sleds, cothes-pins, and other articles Of
use
The two factories give work to a large
number of operators, young, old, and
middle aged, besides furnishing a good
deal Of light labor for the females of the
place, weaving cane bottoms and backs
for the chairs. The products Of the sew
erai factories are Of very high order, and
the prettiest brass hooped cedar pail We
ever saw was manufactured there and was
given to Us by our kind hearted friend,
Mr. BEMCs. We cannot take space to
describe all we saw, suffice it that the in
side Of their vast shop was like unto a
bee h:ve-all activity, yet perfectly in
order
Among many improvements in the
village. the most notable we saw when
there, was the new school house now in
process Of erection. The main building i
SO by 90 feet, twen'y-four feet high, Il
feet posts, with two ante rooms, ball, &c ;,
resting upon d solid foundation OF three
feet Of stone, toppe" with is inches OF
brick over ground The building will
also have large cupola 26 feet high.
The contractor for the work is Ed ZANDER
a gentleman every way qualified to make
a good 10
Here is an example that might be fol-
lowed with profit by our own good peo-
pie 1t is g'ea, shame to our village
that there should not be school-room pro
yiled for all Of our children in the public
schools. Let our citizens take the matter
in hand this fall, and see if we caono, Il,
least keep pace with our public spirited
neighbors.
We found the schools in Two Rivers
not As fully attended as usual, but in a
very good coudirion, thanks to The ability
and efficiency of Mr.. SILsBEE and the other
teachers

and shingIe mill of Messrs. NELsox A.
and ISAAC Hams, at Cato Corners, was
entirely destroyed by fire last Saturday
morning. The boy had just built the fire,
and left for breakfast, and it is supposed
that during his absence some of the Goals
fell from the mouth OF the arch to the
floor, and caused the destruction. The
property was worth $1,000, and was not
insured Messrs HARRIs are industrious
and perseveling met, and it will Lot be
long before they will have good start IN
business again.
There were about 100000 shingles
destroyed, belonging to farmers in the
vicinity.

MARINE.-We made a visit on the 18th
inst. to the ship-yard Of Mr.. JASPER Han
son, near town. lie has on the stocks a
vessel for JONAH RIcnARDs, Esq Her
Eibs are a.! up and she is planked entire
inside, about one third outside, aud will
be ready for launching about the 1st Of
October-is l IS fee. keel, 26 feet beam
and 10 feet 2 inches depth of holJ-wiIl
have great capacity for the carrying
trade, and will probably run from ports on
Lake Michigan TO Buffalo. She is of very
handsome model and looks as though her
rivals will no: be apt to show their heels
to her, especially as she is to be com
mandea by that thorough going captain
and clever gentleman, Capt. ALBRIGHT,
who has pIoughed the raging main for
many and many day. We hope this
craft will hot be the last of Mr.. HANsoN's
building at this port and that those con
templating the building of vessels that
would do honor to any country or por,
will send in their orders and keep him
going.
We also took a look at the new steam
er builing here for the GOODRICH line, at
RAND's ship yard, and found her progress
ing rapidly. She is fast being planked
inside and out, and is receiving her boilers
from the steamer Planet, which is moo.ed
close by, so she will be launched with her
boilers already in her. She looks as
though she would be ready 10 90 into the
water this fall, aDd with her fine and grace
full lines will look beautiful, 20 doubt,
when that event happens. Mr.. &. S.
RAND, her designer and constructor, will
soon have worldwide reputation for
building the handsomest and safest
steamers running on any waters.
The barge Mtchigan, Gifted up at this
port last winter by Captain MoRGAN,)
while in tow of tug on Lake Huron, lost
he: entire deck load. and, on reaching the
river St Clair, sank at Port Huron. She
was afterwards raised, however, and taken
TO Detroit for repairs.
