Last week was return of the old
fashioned winter when time was young
in this country. The snow came down
fast and furious but remained where
it fell and the country roads were
smooth, CLASSY and level, delight to
the traveller. There is between Meeme
and Schleswig a forest, the most eX-
tensive now in the county, the surface
broken with deep ravines and rugged
hills. a good road runs through this
wood, and a ride over it on Wednes-
day last was worth ten years of hum
drum life. At a distance it looked like
an immense orchard in blossom and
one could almost fancy the winds were
laden with the fragrance of May.
Every twig was wreathed with gar
lands of hlmy snow with delicate
embroidery gathered from the humid
atmosphere by the fairy touch of the
Frost King, The evergreens dropped
beneath their loads forming beautiful
canopies, fitting bowers for some fair
Titania. There was suggestion OF
peace in the whole scene, OF purity
and an expression OF beauty now seldom
encountered since the "howers Of the
forest are "a wede away

FIFTY YEARS AGO.

BUsINESS.-Fo the past two weeks
business has been unusually active in
Manitowoc. The farmers have taken
advantage of the fine weather and good
sleighing and have crowded our streets
with loads of produce. a large num-
ber of shingles, and many thousands
of bushels of grain have been brought
in. Sales have been quick at fair
prices. Our merchants are doing
good business-our farmers are pay
ing up sold scores and getting out of
debt, and the good times so long ex-
pected, are coming, They will be along
by and by.

SHINGLE TRADE.-The shingle trade
in Manitowoc, which, few years ago,
was by far the heaviest trade done
here, is gradually decreasing, although
a brisk trade is still carried on. Now
instead of the streets being crowded
with shingle teams, making pedestri-
ans travel around them-we find a
large portion of the farmers teams
filled with the produce of the soil
wheat, oats, rye, barley, etc. At the
opening of navigation last spring there
were at least 100000 Of shingles
here ready for shipment. Next spring
the number will probably not reach
half the amount. The cause of this
decrease in the shingle trade is to be
found in the fact that the people of
the interior are now devoting their
time to the cultivation of their farms
finding it a more profitable, as well as
more agreeable business. Five years
hence, the shingle trade of Mantowoc
will be one of the by cones, and al
though it will be like parting with an
old and intimate friend we rejoice
that the business will be succeeded by
a healthy and profitable grain market.
