FATE.-The disturbance of the hereto
fore unfailing regularity of our steamboat
line by the stormy weather lately, has
produced some quite interesting acct
dents IN our community. The non APP
pearance ofthe Sheboygan for three days
last week. delayed bridal party for the
same length of time, prevented the early
return of several young ladies to Sheboy-
gan, caused the marriage of one Of them
to the "Beau Brunei of Manitowoc,
and an other to accept ride to inspect
the new Rail Road, not returning how
ever, until the boat had come and gone
again, and then graciously to consent to
the very kind offer of her knight, to take
her home by land the fate of the latter
gentleman is still wrapped in mystery, as
he has not been seen or heard of since :;
We should not wonder at all however If
be too had fallen victim to matrimony.
We hope to be able to give further par
tlculars in our next issue.

Mr.. S. A. CHAPPELL, the genial cor
respondent of the Milwaukee Neacs gave
US a friendly call last Monday. He CON-
plains of the i'll feeling he has experience
ed all along the lake shore towns against
the Milwaukee merclant< generally, and
considers 1t quite unreasonable, because
there are but few Miiwaukeeans, mostly
wheat merchants, who took any interest
IN opposing our Rail Road. That NAV
be all true, but still that opposition,
whether carried on by few or many. was
most tremendous. We have won, how
ever, and are willing and ready to forget
and forgive.

Villas q BARNES are opening their
stock of fail goods. This is one of the
largest and most varied assortments of
goods ever brought to Manitowoc. The
goods consist of an immense lot of do
mestics of all the popular brand. piles of
cloths add blankets, some very fire dress
goods of the latest styles, and the newest
patterns of dress trimmings, in all their
endless variety, also complete assert
ment of shelf hardware and cutlery, and
piles of groceries. These goods being
bought for cash, can, and will be sold
very low, and We advise all in search of
good goods at fair prices to examine
their stock before pun chasing.

THERE never was such crowd of
teams in our city, than last Saturday :;
the bridge, from morning till evening,
had more the appearance of Clark street
Bridge in Chicago, than anything We can
compare it with. There must have been
wheat enough brought in on that day to
load the biggest carrying vessel on our
lakes. Milwaukee had better look to her
laurels; for what our trade will be, when
our two Railroads are finished, next
year. Is almost beyond calculation.

The Central Wisconsin, at Wausau
publishes an article from the Plover
Times, in which they express their need
of Railroad for their numbering inter-
ests, and propose to support road con-
templated from Portage City to Grand
Rapids, and thence to Wausau. The
first proposition, to Grand Rapids is
good one, but if Wausau is anxious TO
''get out OF the woods, we should sug-
gest that its enterprising citizens better
concentrate all their energies for the sup
port of the extension of the Appleton d
New London Railway to their future
city. and thus secure not only cOLnec-
ton with the Fox River improvement,
but also with Lake Michigan at Mantle
voc, and Railway connections with all
the Lake Shore towns from Two Rivers
to Chicago, besides securing for them
selves the further extention Of that Rail
road to Lake Superior aud the Pacific.

Our bridge is having new locks put on
to keep it from swinging in a strong
wind, but the old thing is so cut of shape
that it will be impossible to swing 1T clear
around and make the locks fit on both
sides. However, we have an excellent
bridge tender, who will do the best he
can under any circumstances. BY the
by, it seems to US, that our city authorl
ties are dreadful slow about the new
bridge on Main st. and that the few
members of the Board opposing it are
doing their best to prevent its building
under the present law; now if these only
object because there has been no vote
taken for raising the funds for it, we
would at one propose to have our citizens
vote on the subject and to raise the mon
ey by annual instalments, or even by a
loan payable within ten years. We have
not said anything lately in regard to the
new bridge, but we must seriously pro
test agair,s the idea expressed by some
few of our citizens. to delay me building
of the new Main St. Bridge, until the
old one on 0th street gets beyond the
possibility of repair and then to build
new bridge on the same spot and let the
Main st. Bridge go by the Board.
