OUR RAILROADS..

We clip the following from our ex-
changes in regard to our Lake Shore
Road; rejoicing in its prosperity, we feel
it the more, that Manitowoc is deprived
Of its benefits.
'The Lake Shore Road has been doing
a fine passenger and freight business since
regular trains commenced running be
tween Shebcygan and Milwaukee We
understand tia: from ten to twenty tho
tickets have bee sold ayery morning this
week. Those who have been over the
road inform Us that it is in first class con-
diiion, and that it is no trick at ali to
make the round trip to Milwaukee and
return in day.
A train oil elegant new passenger
coaches viii be placed upon the Lake
Shore Road in few days. Conductor
J. Donahue will be placed in command
of them, and better man could not be
found.
Quite a stir is created now at the foot
OF Wisconsin street (Milweukee) by the
arrival and departure of the trains from
and to Sheboygan. Property is becom-
ing more valuable in that vicinity. and
already there fs talk of erecting hotel,
If but small one, to accommodate the
passengers, &c.
There will be at least FIVE railways dis
charging their passengers at the depot on
Wisconsin street. The North Western
Union, the Lake Shore, Wisconsin Gen
t q, Milwaukee and Northern, and the
Chicago and North Western, SO that in
all probability there will be greater ar
rival OF passengers at the Wisconsin street
depot than any other In the city. 1t is
but natura, that passengers will seek the
nearest accommodations. particularly when
the hotel projected, will be FIRST class in
every sense Of the word"
