ANOTHER SUPPOSED SEA BIRD VIC
TIM.-Thursday morning, the body of a
lady was found floating in the lake some
distance northeast of the foot Of Randolph
street, Chicago. The body had portions
of a dclaine dress on it, fastened at the
throat with plain breach. The pattern
of the dress was a pink or reddish bar
with flowers between the rows, ground,
lilac The right hand was gone entirely,
while all that was left of the other were
the bones, and on one of the fingers a
ring with plain bar across the center.
Both feet had gone also. On the head
of deceased was long black hair. From
all appearances the body had been in the
water several weeks, and was much de-
composed. The neghgee style of the ap-
parel, and evident hurry in which it was
adjusted, would lead to the belief that de-
ceased was one of those lost on the steam
err Sea Bird some months ago. A gold plat
ed ring, with corrugated top or cap, was
taken from the fourth finger of her left
hand and attached to her dress was
found part Of a small round breast pin
with gold binding and imitation jet back
ground. Deceased was probably forty
years of age, as near as could be Judged
The remains will be retained by the Cor
oner until friends or relatives shall call
and identify them.

The following notice from the Apple
ton Crescent will give our readers about
as good an idea of what the ''New Or
leans Minstels" are, as we can write.
Wherever they have been the papers
speak well of them
The New ORLEANS MINsTEIs. This
is the name Of troupe which made its
first appearance in Appleton, and gave
two entertainments the present week. 1t
Is combination of the finest musical tai
ent: Instrumental and vocal, with slight
sprinkling of minstrelsy and comicalities,
and one OF the most wonderful displays
of contortion feats ever seen at any exibi-
ton. Maud SANKEY'S singing is exquis-
lte-devine and, without particulizing
further, let it suffice to say that the per-
formers are all lad,es and gentlenaca not
a word or expression INDUCED in which
could offend the fastidious. This trope
merits full houses everywhere.

MANUFACTURING.-I erection OF
manufacturing establishments help as
much, if not more, than any other one
thing in developing and increasing the
business and population of a village or
city. Any community that offers liberal
inducements for the erection of Chair
or Pail Factory, Machine Shop, or any
other of the numerous branches of in
dustry classed under this head, will always
receive benefit that can hardly be cal
culated. 1t is with pleasure that we note
that Manitowoc County is steadily ad-
vancing in this respect and already num-
bers among the manufacturing establish
ments some of the largest in the state, all
of which are in prosperous condition
and give employment to hundreds of
our inhabitants. But while we can boast
of having our Wooden Mill, our Pail and
Chair Factories, our Foundries and
Machine Shops, our Tanneries, our Ship
Yards, ETC., there are still other manu-
featuring interests which ought to be
represented in our immediate vicinity
We continue to import many of our bug
gies and wagons, when we have an album
dance CT good timber; we import many
of the agricultural implements when they
can be manufactured as good and cheaper
right here at our doors, and so on through
the entire list A good illustration of
what manufactures will do for a city
when properly encouraged, is presented
by the fourishing town Of Canton, Ohio,
where reapers and mowers are extensive
" made and which has become famous
for its sweepstakes threshing machine,
so widely known throughout the West.
But few years ago, when the inventor
went there, it was one of the dullest
towns in the State, with little or no signs
of life, and was fast retrogradingn wealth
and production. He asked for ten thou
sand dollars from the citizens as bonus
to help him start a mandatory. The
amount was raised and given to him.
The results of the investment are as fol
lows: Two large manufactures Of plows
exclusively, one of threshing machines,
one of stove and hollow ware, one OF
reaper ard mower knives, one of saddlery
hardware, two of horse rakes, one of farm
wagons, one of cultivators, one Of wrought
iron bridges, and others more or less ex-
| tensive These are all extensive estab-
lishments. The machine shops alone
furnish labor and support for two thou
sand five hundred men. The town has
trebled in population, quadrupled in
wealth, and at the same time developed
a home market for farm products that is
stimulating and enriching farmers in the
surrounding country If the citizens OF
our own county, profting by this and
other examples, will nourish with fos-
tering care the manufactures already
established in It's midst, and suitably
encourage the establishment of others,
and evince spirit of liberality in all that
pertains to her future welfare, they can
make our fiourishing village with her ad
vantages of commerce and natural posi-
ton assume great proportions and fill il
with wealth and oyerfowing with popu
lation.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. What has
become of the Manitowoc Co. Agriculture
Society? All over the State we read of
preparations being made, and in Coun-
ties much smaller than ours, for the An
nual Fair. Our County has ample re-
sources to sustain a good Agricultural
Society. The expense in time and mon
ey is not be compared with the benefits
derived from it. 1t affords the farmers
an opportunity to compare notes which as
sist them in their labors lit is good adver-
tlsement for the county to let people
from abroad know its agricultural resour-
SEES. In fact every resident of the county
derives more or less benefit fromit- We
hope to see new efforts put forth looking
towards the reorganization of the Agri
cultural Society and preparations made
fora fair this fall. Who will move in the
matter?

RAIL ROAD MATTERS. -Mr Reed,
President of the 1Tanitowoc and Mime

from a protracted visit East on railroad
business tells us that the iron and equip

from here to Menasha and Appleton can
be procured as soon as the track shall be
made ready through. and that he will
soon solicit from the people of Manitowoc
and on the line of the road to Fox River
in their corporate and Individual capaci
ties subscriptions sufficient to prepare the
present track for the iron within one
year.

Spend YOUR MONEY AT HoME.--An
exchange has the following very sensible
talk ON the subject of supporting home
institutions. We believe that when folks
send away for goods, they are as gene
raj rule not as well suited, besides pay
ing larger prices. We agree with our
contemporary and copy entire
In the way of dry goods and groceries
we compare favorably with any town IN
the northwest of double the size. Our
lawyers, doctors, dentists and other
professional men rank in skill and expe-
rlence with the best in the State Our
tallors understand their business, and
shoemakers can turn out work fine
enough for anyman to wear Our watch
makers and jewelers. keep large assert
ment OF wares, and can do anything re-
quired of them in their line,
We have good mechanics, and the best
of door, sash, blinds, farming machinery
&C., is manufactured here. We have
the best equipped country printing office
in the State, and can do work as well and
as cheap as 1t can be obtained abroad,
We have furniture stores well stocked
milernery stores, phota graphic galleries,
and fancy goods. There is no reason
why our citizens should leave here to do
any trading. They can make nothing
by it. Keep the money at home Help
one another and build up thriving COM
munity. We are aware that very little
trade leaves here compared with what
leaves many other towns of this size
The reason is that VIC have more enter
prising business men and better stocks
of goods than most places Of our popu-
lation. But some people have,a mania for
going away from home to trade. They will
go abroad and pay higher prices than at
| home for the same articles. This is more
particularly true to Women. If they
want fine dress, bonnet, shawl, or cloak
they are crazy to go away to gctit Trade
at home, Our merchants will get all
goods there is demand for, and you will
have the satisfaction of helping your own
place, and thus, indirectly bring pros
perity to your own door.

THE NORTHWEST.
Direct Railroad C0mmEnicatiOn---T
Flint ~ Fere Marquette and its
Western Connections
From the Detroit Post

| FROM INC DctrOit POst.
The subject of railroard communication
between the East and the West and the
| Northwest is now exciting general atten
| ton, and measures are being devised and
executed for increased transportation
| facilities The communication of the
Flint & Marquette Railroad to lake
| Michigan VIII add an important link in
the chain OF railway communication
When, in addition to this, the Manit0woc
| & Minnesota Railroads. completed to st.
Paul, the two lines, forming direct con-
nection across Lake Michigan, will give
to this city and all points east the most
direct and consequently the most impor-
tant connection by rail with the central
aud northern portions of Wisconsin.
| Northern Iowa and Minnesota.
Capt. i. Is. Ward, President of the
| Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad, says
| that every mile added to ther road through
the forests give profitable freight Its
| present receipts and prospects warrant
| the company in pushing it through to
Lake Michigan at as early day as prac-
ticable Not less than forty additional
miles will be built during the ensuing
year, and the whole line will be complet-
ed within three years.
III feIdllOn 10 the prospects or the road
from Manitowoc, through the centre of
Wisconsin to St Paul, Capt. Ward is
informed by high financial authority in
the city of New York, that there is good
reason to anticipate an early completion
of the eastern portion Of this road, from
Lake Michigan to the outlet Of Lake
Winnebago connecting with the naviga-
ton of the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers, and
the route by rail to Lake Superior The
whole line will command the attention of
enterprising capitalists, when it shall have
been demonstrated by the successful eper-
alton of the road from Manitowoc to Men
asha and Appleton, large manufacturing
towns on the Fox RIVER, that even short
line on that important route Will pay.
The completion Of these two roads will
give the advantages of long continuous
line from the northwest to the east 1t
will be the shortest possible route from
northern and central Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and northern Iowa to the East. It
will give business and additional value to
all roads leading from this city east. and
should receive encouragement and aid
from them. That the enterprise may
fully succeed must be the wish Of every
one who desires to see increase the pros
pcrlty of this city and State.

LARGE EGGs.-AIr Henry Raine has

we have ever seen. We were presented
with one the other day that measures Il
inches IN circumference and weight 81
ounces. The hen lays an egg about this
size one day N each week while the eggs
during the other six days are of an ordi-
nary size. We have no doubt but the
aforesaid hen is prepared to do better if
any other hen should come up to her
present efforts in the egg line
