RAILWAY FROM PORT HURON TO CoRUNNA.-
The Grand Rapids Herald contains the following
information in relation to projected Railroad be-
tween Port Huron and Corunna:
"We understand that it is the Great Western
Railway Co., instead Of the Grand Trunk that talk
about building the Road from London to Port Sar-
mia. Mr.. Bridges Managing Director of the Great
Western Railway his recent visit to this place,
gave such assurance The people of Port Huron,
in concert with the Detroit and Milwaukee and
Great Western Railway, are taking active measures
to organize Company to construct Railway
from Port Huron to Corunna. 1t will thus be seen
that on the completion of the Detroit and Milwau-
keer Railway our citizens will have the advantage
of the two routes.

The Poor INNoCENTs-It is reported that of
the $50 deaths in New York, last week, sos were
children. Is not this sad picture to contemplate
by those whose children roam in perfect health
over the green lawns and fiowery fields, fed on the
rich bounties of dame nature, instead of being
pent up in crowded city, amid hot and dusty
streets, the very air of which is infected with most
unwholesome odors, and then slowly poisoned
with the milk of cows fed upon dstillery offa be-
sides being drugged with deeterious solutions, in
order that the adulteration by water may not be
too apparent. Terrible are the evils which pow
erty brings to little children in thicky popula-
ted cities and it is mournful to think that the sins
and follies of society, and the misfortunes of pa
rents should be visited upon the innocent little
children in this terrible manner.

NEW RAILROAD PRoJECT.-The Shiawasse
Democrat understands project is on foot to con-
struct railroad from Toledo to Corunna, and
thence to some point in the Saginaw Valley. Such
road would be of incalculable advantage, not on
ly to the citizens of Washtenaw, Livingston, Shia-
vase and Saginaw counties, but also to the inhab-
itants of the more southern portions of the State,
well as to those occupying vast extent of ter
ritory in Ohio and Indiana. Push on, gentlemen,
your projects of public improvement. Michigan
is destined in this respect to be the banner State
of the West. "The good time coming" is fast
dawning upon us-when we shall occupy among
sister States that exalted position to which our
mighty agricultural and mineral resources justly
enttle us to enjoy.

10 Win our friend Mr., A. E. GoRpoN, inform
us whether the Herald is In reality daily paper as
its name indicates, or whether it is merely iveek
lys This inquiry Il prompted from the fact that
frequently we are disappointed when calling at a
proper time at the Post Office, in not being per-
mitted to greet its arrival and inclined to scod
publisher or carrier, when 1t is announced Official
ly, that the Herald has not arrived II must be
known that its non-arrival must cause great dis
appointment to all concerned, as we depend upon
that almost entirely for the latest local of the
city, as well as events passing in the immediate
vicinity thereto. If the fault is in the carrier we
will assist Mr.. E. in impressing upon the minds of
the captains of our river steamers entrusted there
with, the weight of obligation resting upon them
to deliver the packages to some person duly author
lied to receive the same with as little delay as pos
sible, after reaching the wharf, and thereby save
many subscribers from disappointed expectations.

Oh how our kind and sympathetic nature pities
the philanthropist and the strenuous advocate of
every good and lawful project, who is compelled,
under the provisions of the present law, to suffer
so many scruples of conscience as 1t must neces-

Ions! To have the easy conscience usually enjoy
ed by us, thus harrassed by scruples, would cause
us to teetotally demur against such provision of
the law; and if our wise law makers did not re-
peal that clause, at the first opportunity, which
colleges the Druggist to become a dispensing agent,
we would if engaged in that occupation show our
contempt of their judgment by refusing, in every
case to be cats paw to such wicked legislation.

The centrality Of the location has afforded
equal facilities to the hills Of the south, the
