correspondent OF the Detroit Western

written by I gentleman who hal but Just

State, aud hence what he SAYS has all the
more weight, IS be knows whereof he
writes, from actual observation:
- I DO not know OF any place .n Michi-
gan which is exhibiting greater prosperity
or making q more rapid growth than Ian

stone which are being rapidly transformed

which can BE- procured for their cOnslruc-
Ton Those OF Us Who have known by eN-
perience what limited accommodations The
hotels of the town have heretofore afforded,
viii look with especial commentator upon
the rapidly rising walls OF IOtel OF ample
SIZE and elegant appointments.
The people OF Lansing evidently be-
lieve in destiny. especially il the destiny OF
their city. Aud well they may, for certain
" her prospects could not well De more

communication with the Detroit AMI Nil
waukee at OwossO and the Central AZ

Of which Will doubtless be built AZ an early

great railroad centre OF the State. The
people here are fond OF marking out these
projected roads on their maps which gives
the place the appearance OF being the hal

A Coon TINR.-The excursion and pic
NC OF the Congregational and Baptist
Sabbath Schools to Laingsburgh week be-
fore last, passed of very pleasantly. and
was well enjoyed by all participants. The
only thing that transpired to mar the
pleasure of the occasion occurred while the
party were at Laingsburgh. A basket
filed with provisions having been put into
the baggage car was carried a short dis
lance below the depot before being put off
the train, and the party proceeded to the
woods without It, and then the lady 10
whom the basket belonged got a gentleman
TO so back in search of it. 1t was found
in rum hole, kept by a man named n. b.
Blood, where it had been pawned By two
men, one of whom was named Guile. for
two drinks Of whisky. The gentleman
who went aller the basket was Obliged TO
pay Mr.. Blood twenty cents for his two
drinks Of rot gut before be could obtain
the basket. We leave the public to form
their own estimate Of men who would be
guilty OF such ) contemplate trick.
