MARINE INTELLIGENCE.

The Chicago Post in an article about
Goodrich's Line of Steamers, has the
following: Captain Goodrich has, by
purchasing and building, gradually in
creased his line of boats from one or two
to seven steamers, the majority of which
are unsurpassed for speed and accommo-
datlon on Western waters. The steamer
North West will resume her old route
from Cleveland to Lake Superior, and
Judging from the past, business and plea
sure tourists will be as comfortable and
safe as possible while on board of her.
A magnificent new boat, to be called the
Manitowoc, will be added, which, in con-
nection with the Sea Bird, will form a
daily line from Chicago to Manitowoc ard
the intermediate ports. The Orion end
Truesdell are detailed for daily line ftom
Chicago TO Grand Haven and Muskegon,
which places, by means of the Comet, the
communication will be extended north to
Manistee. Thus complete line will be
formed from this city up both sides of
Lake Michigan.
The propeller Otta1ca will make direct
and regular trips from Chicago to Green
Bay at intervals sufficiently close to carry
all the freight and passengers moving be-
tween these points. As these lines will
be under the direct supervision and con-
troll OF the proprietor and his competent
staff of employees, the travelling and
shipping public may rest assured that
their property and persons will be carried
to their destination with as much speed
and safety as it is possible to expect.
The aim of the proprietor of this line
appears to be to supply the public with
| the best facilities for communication with
all the lake ports that the trade will sup
port.
Captain Goodrich has by far the largest
amount invested in side wheel steamers
of any capitalist in Chicago, and we have
good reason to believe that he does not
consider his line complete, and that addi
lions to it are already in their first stages
| of perfection. We sincerely hope to see
his steamboat possessions vastly increas-
ed, and we feel confident that as long as
the interested public are as well satisfied
as they are now, there will be no diminu-
ton in the trade of Goodrich's Line of
Steamers
