It has three steam lumber mills, two flouring mills, and is 
chiefly supported by the rich farming country adjacent. The 
village has become somewhat distinguished for its shipping. 
Quite a fleet of vessels is owned here, and in the course of the 
year their commercial transactions amount to a large figure, 
by their regular trading to the ports of Milwaukee, Chicago, 
Buffalo and other points. During the past few years, some 
very fine vessels have been built here, and during the past 
season a fine first class propellor, of 400 tons burthen, and a 
splendid first class steamer* of 350 tons burthen, were built. 
Two Rivers is quite a manufacturing town. It has two 
heavy lumbering establishments, a pail and a furniture factory; 
and about two miles north-west of the village, on the North 
Twin River, is located the extensive manufacturing establish¬ 
ment of the Wisconsin Leather Company, one of the greatest 
establishments of the kind in the Country. 
Both villages, Manitowoc and Two Rivers, during the season 
of navigation, are connected with Milwaukee and other ports 
by a daily line of steamboats, owned by Capt. A. E. Goodrich, 
of Chicago, which will leave Manitowoc every morning at 8 
o’clock.
