THE BoDY OF THE WOMAN FLoArING IN THE
WATER IDENrfIED.-It appears that the body
of the elegantly dressed female found in the
water near Fort Hamilton, New York, Oh Sun
day evening of last week, was identified on
Monday "a that Of Mrs. Fanny Dean IIa'sey,
wife of Henry Halsey, of No. Ill, West Twelfth
street. The deceased disappeared on Wednes-
day last under circumstances which gave rise to
the supposition that she had been murdered.
She left home with the os.ensiblc purpose of
purchasing pair of shoes, aud that was the last
| seen of her alive. There is much gossip con-
nected with the case. Her husband had re-
Gently detected an Illicit intercourse between her
and certain well known Brooklyn contractor,
and had extorted from her confession Of the
fact. Both the husband and the contractor are
under arrest, although 50 far, there is no evil
dencc that she WAS murdered. She was only
eighteen years old, and the mother Of two chill
dren. Lattery, she had been an actress. Her
husband il also actor, and is, from all ac-

Oar readers viii find the following article.
which We copy from the Detroit TJiJ.,,,c, Of
June Sth, contains valuable information
Our fellow citizen, Mr.. II. II. LEROY, appointed
10y the Governor one of the commissioners for
the survey and location of the lonia, ilouchton
Lake and Nackinac State Road, has returned
home. having, in conjunction with his ASSISTANT
completed the survey of the road, although the
plans are not yet prepared and the estimates Of
construction made. MIR Leroy and party started
from lonia on the 18th Of March, and were en-
gagged IN the survey siyty-cght DAYS the whole
distance run being two hundred and thirteen and
a bali miles, the upper terminus of the route
being at Old Fort Mackinac. The average daily
running wIs near four m'le- although one day
much a. eight miles were run In the latter
part Of the route, the company, for number of
days, commenced work at five in the morning
and worked diligently until seven in the evening.
The survey was commenced in lODia county,
in town north, and from thence the line was
run west, passing through the centre Of Mont
calm county; thence on the county lines OF Me-
costa and Isabella counties Whenever practi-
cable, the commissioners located the road on
county lines, thus at once draining two counties.
and furnishing greater body of swamp land
for the State to use in paying its contractors
At or near the corner of these counties they
angled east, aud then run direct line to Houyh-
ton lake, beautiful body Of water, ten miles in
circumference, in Roscommon county. having
passed slOng the ridge Of land which forms the
watershed OF that part Of the State, and from
whence some OF the streams run to Lake Huron
and some TO Lake Michigan. On the south side
Of Houghton Lake they angled to the east, and
ran varying line to the east side Of Higgins
lake, passing thence about on a Inc Of 3 and I;
west, through the counties % Crawford and Of
sego, and on along the county lines between
Wyandotte and CharlevoiA counties TO ChebOy-
gar county, where tie survey ended.
Regarding the character Of the line surveyed, /
Mr.. Leroy state. that they passed good deal Of
swamp land in Montcalm county, although the |
greatest body Of swamp was found in Cheboy-
gan county. In survey Of direct line, per-
sons are liable 10 be much deceived, however,
regarding the extent Of the swanps, depending I
upon the fact of the direction in which thew I
pass through them. Thus they may pass longi- |
tudnslly through marrow swamp, which their |
