The New RAILROAD PRoJECT. - The
Jackson Citizen copies our article on the rail-
road project of connecting this city with Toledo
and Cincinnati, by means OF a road intersecting
the Jackson branch of the Southern road at
Manchester, running from here thence via of
Grass Lake, on the Central road, and makes the
following comments thereon:
viii our northern friend peases remember
that the Grand River Valley Railroad project is
not yet dead, though it is taking quite a long
sleep We are expecting to see our people
awake and make move in the matter every
day. When they do you viii hear from them"
Our people have waited for the Grand River
Valley Railroad Company to arouse from its leth-
argy until they are tired. They are also tired of
the Rip Van Wrinkle sleep of the people of Jack
son. They are determined to have an outlet
South by railroad, and are fully satisfied that
there is sufficient ability and energy along the
projected line to Manchester to secure such a
road. We learn that steps are soon to be taken
to ascertain what amount of means can be rails.
ed along this route, and as the estimated sum
necessary to insure the building OF the road is
comparatively small, strong hopes are entertain
ed that it can be raised without difficulty. Will
the people along this line awake to the impOr-
lance of this subject. Citizens OF Ingham coun-
ty, this proposed route will give you double the
advantages of any yet talked of, and by proper
application and effort on your part, you can sue
coed in obtaining this road, the benefits of which
to you cannot be overestimated.

evening, from crowded and fashionable audience.

East Lynne will be presented for the last time,
with the same Incompatible cast.
CANTERBURY.-ThC brilliant ballet, "La

"bright particular star" proved last evening to be
one of the most attractive and beautiful acts of
performance which Manager Sim has yet placed
before the public In addition to the great artistic
named above, the two talented sisters, Augusta
and Marie, sustain prominent characters In this
splendid production, and together with Mons.

and the entire company appear in varied per-

ODD Fellows HALL.-Tho StoroosCopiC
Panorama OF the American Civil War will be ex-
hibited this evening, These views are most beau
tiful, and give the beholder an accurate idea OF
the horrors OF the battlefield. The stereopticon
has opened to US a new field. Taken in connec-
tion with the DlorOma Of the Russian War, 1t
would seem to challenge competition. Wednes-
day and Saturday afternoons are set apart for
ladies and the juveniles We advise them all to
visit the Hall.
"STRoEG's WAsHINGTUN AND THE WAR" was
completely successful last evening. The house
was well filled by a fashionable audience, and de-
light ruled the time of the entertainment. The
lecture is very explicit and interesting, and adds
much to the merit OF the exhibition. Our readers
will do well to visit Willards Hall some evening
this week, or Wednesday or Saturday afternoon.
