We give under this head in addition to what
was contained in last weeks issue few items
gathered from an able article in the Enquirer,
and from conversation had with Mr.. WALKER
during his late visit at this place.
1t has been determined that the road shall
pass within the limits of the city of Grand
Rapids, but upon which one of the proposed
routes has not been decided. AS soon as the
| required amount of stock is subscribed the des-
ignation will be made. On Monday, last week
meeting was held at the Rapids and measures
taken to procure the desired subscriptions. AS
fast as the means can be obtained the work will
be pushed forward along the whole line and will
doubtless be finished within two years from the
time the local subscriptions are made up. The
contractors have negotiated three millions oil
stock and bonds Of the road in Europe, but
they can not draw upon it until four hundred
thousand dollars have been actually expended
on the road. Two steamers of description
similar to that copied into the Times, two weeks
since, will be constructed for the purpose Of
plying between this port and Milwaukee
Appearances now are that the o. q O. ROAD
is the road that will be built We have beer
charged with being partial towards this underta
king. five are SO partial, it is only because the
o. & o. project looks to us more feasible and
more likely to be putin execution than any other
The country can sustain but one of the con
templated parallel roads, and but one we are
sure will be built, at least for long time to
come Such a road as the o. q o. Co. propose
to build is good enough, better than the gener
atty of roads in this country, and quite as ex
pensive as We can now afford to support.
wise and judicious policy seems to control the
action of the company. The people along the
entire line are induced to become stakeholder,
and are thus made interested in the prosperity
of the road. The whole plan is practical, ant
some real assurance is held out that the work
will 60 vigorously on.

The CHOLERA IN LoNpoN--At our last advi.
ces, the cholera had existence in London, and
already number of deaths had taken place.
During single week eighteen were officially
recorded Five of the persons were adults, and
one died in seven hours after the attack, one in
nine hours, and three in thirteen hours. The
sanitary committee in abiding to these facts
say: Free Press
" 1t is satisfactory to reflect that active meas.
ures have been adopted by the Secretary OF
State to close the London churchyards, and that
the water supply, although still bad, is likely to
be greatly improved ere long. While this great
disease is evincing SO much activity, our SANTA
ny arrangements, particularly that great measure
for the publication of the Thames and the drain
age of London, will not be allowed to inger un-
achieved"

SINGULAR LAKES IN New YoRK.-The Ora
teur Lakes, in the town of Manlus, Onondaga
County, New York, are curiosities, and are sup
posed to be Of volcanic origin. They are, by
the inhabitants about there, called the Green
Lakes. One of them is on the top of hill, and
is in the form of tea cup. The banks are two
hundred feet high, and the water four hundred
feet deep. The water appears of deep green,
but when taken up in glass it is perfectly clear
and transparent. Trees and limbs which fall in
to the water soon become encrusted with a
bright green substance, which on being exposed
to the air. becomes hard. The timber decays
and leaves the incrustaton in the shape of hol-
low tubes Wood, saturated with this water
and burned, emits a strong odor of sulphur. A
farmer, who resides near by, once heard great
rush Of water and looking round saw the lake
rising over the banks He was alarmed, and
fled with his team, but the water soon receded
to its usual level and he returned to his furrow

The editor of the Enquirer has requested us
to forward our paper by boat on Tuesday, in
stead of waiting for Wednesdays mail. Ac-
cordingy we undertook last week to send up
the Times as desired by the Empire. The mes
senger we had sent to do the business soon re.
turned to us saying that the Captain refused to
carry the paper, and that he, moreover, used
nearly or quite the following words, "Tell the
Times folks don't think damned sight OF
them, they can send by the Michigan"
Unless we should have better luck with the
Captain of the Michigan, the Enquirer must

case was discussed, but its consideration was
not concluded 1t will not be published for sew
eral days yet. 1t is strong and decisive paper,
calculated to entirely disarrange the nerves OF
old Fogydom. The Cabinet is not likely mate
rally to change Mr.. Marcy's points, although
they will revise the mode of expression.
A necessity for war to the knife, against the
Hard boilers, seems impressing itself upon the
President and if Bronson and OConnor fail to
surrender at discretion, to Secretary Guthrie, il
is almost certain they will be removed.

GEM CAss.--The Dundee IN. W Record,

GEN. CAss.--The Dundee IN. W Record,
whose editor, (Mr Hoagland) recently visited
Detroit thus notices Gen. Cass:
"Taking n short walk through the city, we
passed the plain brown mansion, where resides
the ablest of our living statesmen--Gen. Cass.
On the stoop we noticed couple OF young men,
one Of whom we supposed to be Lewis Cass, Jr,
Charge at Rome, and on CHANGING at the neigh
boring window we saw the noble and well
known countenance of the old Senator himself
He looked pale, sad, and lonely-no doubt ow-
ing to the sad bereavement experienced by him
last March, when his estimable companion was
deposited in the "cold and silent tomb" Since
then he seems to have withdrawn from the
mockeries of the world. Neither on general
politics, distribution ofpublic patronage, or fac
tiopal assaults has he uttered a word to the pub
lie or the Administration since that period, when
some despicable lickspittles announced his de-
parture from the Senate chamber to minister at
the bed side of his dying wife, a flight from
Washington on account of modification caused
by the policy that the President had adopted in
the selection of his Cabinet! A victim to the
most villainous treachery that ever blackened
the political annals Of any country, and pursued
by the slmest reptiles Of Van Burensm with
an intensity of hate and bitterness without par
allel, the noblest Roman of them ALL" after
spending a whole life in usefulness to his coun-
try, seems now inclined to retire from the vani.
ties and treacheries of public life, and devote
| the remainder of his days to contemplation and
preparation for that great change which, in the
course of nature. must soon come, although we
all hope that it may be yet postponed for many
years. Whether he will return to the Senate
again, we do not know, but hope he will The
masses of the democratic party of the Union,
who have uniformly stood by him and our own
lion-hearted Dickinson, have been sold and be-
trayed by time serving and huckstering polti-
clans. 1t is time now for them to rally and adopt
course of policy that will either check-mate or
defeat the traitors!

BURNING THE DEAD!-If we are to credit the
Geographic announcement published elsewhere,
New Orleans must truly be a city of desolaton
and death The people, observes cotempora-
ry, are dying so rapidly that it is impossible to
inter them, and accordingly the authorities have
resorted from necessity, to the revolving meth
cd of disposing of the remains of the victims to
the fearful plague, by burning them in scores :!
What terrible state of things for community.
The dead-cart bears away the putrid carcasses
of those who were loved and honored by friends

burning pile, their ashes are scattered by the
breeze to the four winds Of Heaven. May a
mercful Providence preserve our people from
such fearful visitation. Det Daily Times.

A PLEA FOR BEARDs-An article in Dickens
Household Words contains sentiments hostile
to the use of the razor, and strongly in favor of
the flowing beard, the bushy whisker, and the
uncurtailed moustache. This is specimen Of
his reasoning:
"Surely enough has been said to make it ev-
ident that the man who, at the end of his days,
has spent about entire year of his life in scra-
ping off his beard, has worried himself to no pur-
pose, has submitted to a painful vexation, and
not only useless but actually unwhoesome
custom. He has dis6gured himself systematic
ally throughout life, accepted his share of unnec-
essary tic doloureur and toothache, coughs and
colds, has swallowed dust and inhaled smoke
and fog, out of complaisance to the social pref
udce which happens just now to prevail. We
all abominate the razor while we use it, and
would gladly lay it down. Now, if we see clear
ly-and think the fact is very clear; that the
use of it is great blunder, and if we are no
longer such sloveDly people as to be afraid
that, if we kept our boards, we should not wash,
or comb, or trim them in decent way, why can
we not put aside our morning plague, and irri-
tate our skin no more as we now do %

PACIFIC RAnRoAD.-The New York Tribune
states through its Washington correspondent
that the administration will give all its official
prestige and strength to the Pacific Railroad
This has been decided upon after full and
lengthy discussions in Cabinet upon the subject
The funds necessary, from two to five hundred
millions of dollars, can readily be loaned in Eu-
rope, on good security, at not over four per cent
If the news be authentic, that the President and
Cabinet have determined to patronize the Pacific
Railroad (and its authenticity is very probable,)
then the West may nationally rejoice.
