d. q M. RAILwAY.-The Pontiac Gazette
of Saturday says: "On Monday of last week
we had the pleasure of ride over this road
sixteen and half miles, the distance to
which the track was laid 1t was on the oc-
casion of the Directors, Chief Engineer, and
Contractors visiting this portion Of the road
to view the work, look at grounds for depots,
DC We found the road mostly smooth as
an old road-the ground over which it is
made generally being sand and gravel, SO
that very little settling takes place. All in
the company admired the beautiful track
We understand the work is to be pushed for
ward with all possible speed"

CoNvICTs ESCAPED FROM THE STATE PRIs-
oN.-Despsrate Assauh.-The Jackson Pat
riot says: "On Saturday evening last, two
convicts, named Williams and Grant, Sue
ceeded in making their escape from the State
Prison, and have not yet been re-taken. 1t
seems they were in attendance in the hospi-
tai, and were directed to 90 to the cook
room and make some tea for the sick. The
guard who was in attendance waited for their
return for two hours and half, when he
made rally, and found that they had climb
ed upon the frame work that supports the
root, crawled through the scuttle, and down
the projecting stones on the east end of the
main building.
We learn that three women escaped from
the State Prison on Monday night, one of
whom was sentenced for life for murder
The particulars of the escape we have not
learned.
During the afternoon of Monday, convict
in the scythe-room of the prison, suddenly
drew d piece of scythe-snath and struck
keeper named Elliott severe blow, cutting
a long cash on his forehead, just above one
of his eyes, which felled him to the floor.
The convict struck him again on the forehead
above the other eye, and was preparing to
strike again when another convict knocked
him down with blow from his fist. On
examination, it was found that Elliott's skull
was not fractured, although the blows left
him deranged for number of hours. 1t is
claimed by some that the convict is de-
ranged person, and frequently shows conclu-
sive evidence of it; and the opinion of others
seems to be that these exhibitions of derange-
ment are feigned, and that the convict owed
this keeper a grudge for recently getting him
whipped.
Relative to the escape of the women, the
Citizen says: "There has been nine female
convicts, for want of suitable accommodation,
kept during the night in room about Is
feet square, and during the day allowed to
use the hall of the main building, under the
care of the matron. On the day of the es-
cape, the hall door was left open for few
moments, then the three 'Biddy's slid"

RE-oPENING OF SCHooL.-The Fall Term
of the Grand Haven School will commence
on Tuesday next 10Th inst under the super
intendence of the the former Principal, Mr.
A. w. TAYLOR. 1t is the design of our cit
liens to place our village school in position
that shall enable it to compare favorably with
any school in Western Michigan, where pu-
pills can not only be instructed, according to
the most approved methods in the common
branches of education, but also in those of
the higher grades usually taught in our best
Academies, including the more advanced
mathematical, as well as the classical course.
And we can assure those who may wish to
avail themselves Of the privileges Of attend
ing school during the fall and winter that SUI
perior advantages will be afforded them for
gaining good practical education. In addi-
ton to the excellent series of outline maps
for the convenience of those engaged in the
interesting study of geography, and the Chi
biographical charts, to illustrate the best sys-
tenn of penmanship, our citizens, with a COM
mendable spirit of lberality, have taken
measures to procure necessary supply Of 9th
er apparatus to enable the teacher to illus
trate clearly and forcibly to the mind of the
student the different sciences to which his at
tention may be directed-a convenience en-
loved in but few schools in the Grand River
Valley.

THE GRAND RIVER TIMES.
GRAND HAVEN, MICHIGAN,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT 3, 1855.

re- The propeller Troy arrived at this
port, on Friday last, with a large cargo of
goods for the Grand River Valley. A few
days previous to her arrival the Sciota dis
charged full cargo at our wharves for the
same destination. Some little idea can be
formed of the immense and continually in
creasing trade of the Grand River Valley,
when it is known that a propeller arrives
here weekly, from Buffalo, with full cargo
for places situated in the immediate vicinity
of our beautiful river, besides the immense
quantities of goods of every description bro't
over from Chicago in vessels engaged in the
lumber trade between the Valley and that
city. We venture to affirm, without inten-
tionally wounding the feelings of citizens Of
any other locality affected with the spirit of
rivalry, that no portion of the West is at pres
ent in a more prosperous condition, as regards
a rapid development of agricultural and COM
mercial resources, than this same Grand Riy-
er Valley, and with prospect of speedy
completion of the Detroit and Milwaukee
Railroad, it will soon become the elysium of
the West.
