RAIL ROADS followi we copy
from the Chiffon Times: iRallroa
meeting camo off pursuant to notice IA
the Court House in this Village, on Fri
day afternoon. Mr.. Peterson # New
Holstein wa president, and Z. n Sweet
Of Clinton secretary. We were unable
to be present but learned that there va
large crowd in attendance and harmony
and good feeling prevailed MIR. Richard
represented Milwaukee, Mr. Boddendorfe
represented Ozaukee, Messrs Reede
Smith and West represented Outagamie
Co. The proceedings next week.
This refers to the SUI ject Of the pro
ject ofthe construction of a railroad from
Milwaukee running northwest through
the county of Calumet to Appleton Oh
the lower Fox river, touching the She
boygan and Fond du Luc railroad a
'mid ships" and the Manitowoc anu
Minnesota railroad thirty miles west OF
this ought to be city of Manitowoc.
We copy the above for the purpose Of
calling the attention FIRST OF the citizens
OF .hanitowoc to the Importance Of taking
immediate action in relation to the con.
struction of our railroad to Menasha and
second, Of the citizens of Calumet county
to the fact that the interests of that CO un
~ and of this are identical and that
what that county should first seek is the
shortest and most direct outlet for its
products to Lake Michigan; that Mani
towoc is. or will soon be, the best harbor
and shipping point for such products
that by railroad connection with this
point that county secures the shortes,
snd cheapest line of transit for all its
freights between the Eastern markets and
the West, and that such line of road
would be worth to the producers. trader.
aud manufactures OF that County more
than one hundred per cent. annually than
would the line Of road running seventy
miles south east to point eighty miles
south of the Manitowoc harbor, which
can be reached by the people of that
county in from twenty-five to thirty
miles.
We have legislation which authorizes
the construction from the line Of the
Manitowoc and Minnesota railroad
southeast through the county of Calu-
met to Fond du Lac, and it will require
less from the citizens of that county to
secure the construction of this road than
it would to obtain the road to Milwaukee
and circuitous route of moro than one
hundred miles further to market on
Lake Michigan, than at Mani,owoc.
We hope the citizens of Calumet coun.
ty will have consultation with the citi
zens Of Manitowoc on the subject of a
railroad connection Vi 18th thi. place as
their best market, before coa'luding any
arrangements with the citizens of Mil
waukee on the subiec1 CT the building
of that long line of road to reach lake
Michigan, eighty miles from their own
home-Manitowoc
Will the business men Of our town I'D
county have a consultation together on
this important subject, and take measures
to secure conjoint action on the part OF
the people of this and Calumet counties,
or will they allow. by their own inaction,
tho interests of M.D;tovoo RI ,.,,,, an, nh,

HOLDING BACK GRAIN.-One of our
most active and enterprising merchants
requests us to insert the following from
Nazro's Heekly:.
Weare again hearing from all quarters,
the old, old story. Farmers are holding
grain for higher prices. Last years ex
perlence is so soon forgotten. Because a
farmer is good, is no reason at all for his
letting store debts run along months
after they should have been paid. What
do the farmers seem to care for the anx-
iety and distress they cause merchant by
not paying him his due? Why should
the merchants be so tender of the iar:aSf
that they allow him to bring them as near
ruin as is possible and live through, and
only to humor the farmers in their idea
of such large advances in wheat socn
Every year it is getting worse, and it
must be stopped sometime, then why
not now If farmers will not sell wheat
enough to pay you what they owe you
sue them and bring them to realize that
they are not the only people who have
any rights that ought to be respected.
We cannot allow this as an excuse for
| your letting your account with us 20 un-
paid any longer. You owe u. money and
| the farmers owe you, so that virtually it
is our MONEY, that the farmers refuse to
| pay, and!we can't allow such to be the
| case any longer. We state the sentiment
of the entire wholesale trade when We
states these truths. We cannot, ought
not, WILL NOT allow cur money to be
locked up by the foolish whirns of the
| farmer

SAD AND LONELY,

70 MISS K. N.
By Up.
Sad and lonely in my chamber
Sadness that no tongue tell,
Lonely in my dreary chamber
Sad and lonely there dwell
Once my heart was gay and happy,
But my happiness has fed,
And shall be happy
Till I'm numbered with the dead.
For the love which have cherished
Has, alas, been all in vain,
And my fondest hopes have perishsd-
Perishd neer to live again.
Now my heart is sad and broken
And weep myself away,
Yet there is a joyful token
Bid me hope better day.
Soon my heart will cease sorrow-
Sorrowng 'er broken love-
When shall dawn that golden morrow
In that better land above.
Then I'll meet thee by the river
In that sweet, celestial land,
And with joy our hearts will culver,
Al We grasp each others hand.
