Road from Lake superior to Red River

hoha from huke superior TO hed River
The Canadians are pushing forward their
communication from Lake Superior to Red
River, and the report made by Mr.. Dawson who
has returned to Toronto from the survey of the
route, is exceedingly favorable. The line from
Thunder Bay to Dog Lake is nearly all cut out,
and will soon be practicable for goods and pas
sengers. On the shore of the chain of water
communication between Dog Lake and Rainy
River, Mr.. d. found good line for road and
he also discovered practical route for a road
between the Red River and the head of the
Lake of the Woods, the existence of which was
previously denied. He traversed the route on
horseback
Mr.. Dawson held grand council with the
Indians, numbering some 5000 on tho proposed
route for the road They did not interfere with
his operations, and it is supposed they will not
object to the proposed improvement through
their great wilderness possessions. The Toronto
Globe claims that the last doubt as to the FEAST
bility of opening the route to Red River
through British territory at small expense is
removed, and says whether the money is sup
piled by the Transit Company or the Governs
ment, tho route must be opened and that imme-
diately.

and the other in Licking county. None of the
family were ever troubled with any disease ex.
cept an inherent laziness They could eat,
drink, sleep, and propagate their speces-the

vate letters from London, from parties usually well in

preparations which being made by the governments
Of France and Sardinia very little hope remains of
maintaining peace It is considered very improbable
that the present state of the French finances the En-
peror would to the very large expenses be is mourning
