ROUND LAKE ERIE DY RAnROAD.-Mr. OWENS,
editor of the Minnesotian, Sr. Paul, who has
just returned from the east, furnishs the follow
ing information: Passengers by taking the
Southern Michigan cars at Chicago, can now
reach the eastern cities by railroad. The en-
tire track between Toledo and Bellevue was fin
ishcd on Thursday last, and the cars were to
commence running this week. At Bellevue, a
connection is formed with the Mad River and
Lake Erie road. and this at Sandusky with the
Mansfield and Sandusky road, and the latter,
at Shelby, with the Columbus and Cleveland
road. This route. though somewhat circutous,
nevertheless gives us railroad travel all the
way from Rockford to Cleveland. East of
Cleveland. the cars were to commence running
the entire distance through to Dunkrk and Buff
falo on Monday last. In about two weeks the
track will be laid from Bellevue to Monroe
vile on the Mansfield and Sandusky road, which
will shorten the route referred to above about
% miles.-GGlena .7drtrfisor.
