"TANaEL" ON THE RAMPAaE.-The

parts last week, thus indites to the Milwau

"Every dog has his day." which in

spend few of them by coming DER the

Efecting safe LANDING just as the sun
came out of the wet, and in ample time
to 90 out to the pound nets-the next
largest business to leather, pail and lum
Der making carried on IN this vicinity.
Fishing By any other means is decidedly
fogyisb, pound traps being sure thing
and will eventually clear the lakes of all
things scaly. Those who have visited
White Fish Bay will know how pound
nets are made. A description would be
longer than the nets, half mile or more.
The season has not quite commenced vet.
and eight barrels was the small yield

trade counts its seasons work for this
county alone in the hundred thousand
You are never cut of sight of the pounds
from Port Washington to Green Bay, and
those who are fond of seeing fishing can
be satiated here, if no where else, by as
clever a set of fellows as ever ensnared
the prey.
From hence we thenced to the afflicted
town Of Mishicott, eight miles over fine
road with tan bark. The
road was just recovering from peleting
hail storm. Some Of the hail stones
weighed two and half ounces, ana made

TAxGEL gives bis opinion Of Manitowoc
in the following language:
MANITowoo, June %.
ED News This place was reached by
pedestrianlsm TO avoid toll, and well re-
pays the labor, Manitowoc being oDe 81
our lvess towns Of about 5000 inhabi-
tants, with plenty of visitors, among whom
were the Rev. DR.. Ashley, Rev. Mr..
Men Namara, and Mr.. Hoff with others too
numerous to mention, whom will slump"
as eleven guerrilIas," all from Milwaukee,
representing every branch Of business
nearly that employs travelling agents.
We found tip top fare at the National,
and Jere Crowley SAID the National had
a good saloon, which saved some time
proftably invested in walk around town
during which twenty-three vessels were
counted in the harbor loading with lum-
Der, marble fish. &c. This place has
long been noted for vessel-building
Many Of the largest barks and fastest
schooners were built here, hence it is
called "the clipper city, 1t is now
turning its attention to steam boats, one
Of which, the " Orion" rightly named,
will be bright star in the consolation Of
steamboats,. She is to be captained by
Bobert Richardson, ,hirty>four years in
the business, with Jim Hodges, the con-
versationist, as clerk, and will be ia Mil,
waukee, July 4.h, and "when found make
note of it." Another is on the stocks
larger than the Sea lird, ready for plank
ing. Both will ply in the Goodrich line
A large bark Of 10000 bushels capacity
is also most ready, and off the stocks-a
theater 100x9O will be completed by fall
also the third foundry is coming in on
the quarter stretch. Some twenty other
buildings, private aBG public, are on the
way up, which, with the $4,000 appro-
priated by Uncle Sam for the harbor (to
which Manitowoc added 92,000), and
the speedy prospect Of railroad communi
cation with Menasha, makes the Mani
towocans good takers. But few place:
have as good a prospect. Hooley has
opened a branch of his store here and il
taking up all the reading room of the
newspapers and papering the fences free
gratis. Speaking ior the present, The
city is in good sanitary condition, a'
it always is, being clean, high and dry
with two splendid parks-oae on eaoi
side Of the river good walks and drives
ditto fishing, and as good hote, accommo
dations as can be desired. Skedaddler
from the cholera or after pleasure cal
trus: Goodrich's line, which never lost
life, to take them back and forth. It. only
takes day to get here and adds yea
to life. Want Of time will prevent ou
stopping at Sheboygan, bat we shall "g'
back on it" right after the light guart
anniversary. TANGEL.
