The steamer Corona, which took the
place of the Manitowoc on the west shore
line, went into winter quarters at Milwau-

continue to make tri-weekly trips as long

Fears are entertained for the safety
of Mr.. VIM. McCollum, resident of
this City and part owner of the little
schooner Eva. 1t seems that while on
the Michigan shore, three weeks since,
he took $3.50 and went into the country

schooner-since which time nothing has
been heard of him. We await further
developments.

few weeks since for Menominee, has
met with a reverse Of fortune already,
{ large boarding house which he had
Just erected being burned on last Friday
afternoon. Considerable clothing be-
longing to his men was also destroyed,
entailing loss of nearly 81 ,0o0. We
hope that catastrophe is forerunner

a mill which they have recently got In
from the east, which can be run either
by hand OF horse power, and viii ca is
designed for the use of farmers in grind

1t will grind oats, corn, wheat, peas, &c.
to every degree Of fineness. We would

money to call and see it. 1t
The Racine Adcocate Of last Saturday
has the following notice of one of Our
boats: Yesterday the staunch steamer
Sheboygan of the Goodrich line, left
Chicago on her ninety ninth trip. Dur
ing the whole season she has not lost a
trip or part Of one, nor has she laid in
port a single night, only while making
her usual landing. This speaks well for
the boat, and therefore passengers are
not afraid to patronize her. No accident,
however trivial, has happened to her
during the whole season. II feights
continue good she will probably run un-
til about the 10th of December

keel Of new steamer for the Goodrich
lne is being laid under the srperinten-
dence of Mr.. G. S. Rand, and it will not
be long ere Mr.. Hanson will commence
on the new schooner he is to build there.
Manitowoc ship builders have gained
reputation for good work which has in
sured them such an amount of custom
that no sooner is one steamer or vessel
off the stocks than another is Immediate
ly commenced in its place. Vessels are
brought here from all the Lakes for a
rebuild or repairs, and the owners al
ways declare themselves satisfied in re-
gard to the quality and price of the work
performed.
