FOR AN ELEOTRIO RAILROAD.

An Aet of Incorporation to be Asked
 Ghe Depot, to Carlisle, West Water,
 Commerce, College and Grove Streets
 Out Prospect Street to the Foot of MIII
 Rock.
 As will be seen by public notice in snoth- CT column, the incoming legislature will be asked for an act of incorporation for rail- road company which will operate cars to be run by electricity tor by animal power); the route of the road to be from the Consolidated road depot, Union avenue to Carlisle street, to West Water street, to Commerce street; or from the depot to Carlisle street, to Com- merce street, to Congress avenue, to George, to College, to Grove, to Prospect, to Sachem streets, to Winchester avenue, to the foot of Mill Rock; and also from the intersection of Prospect and Sachem streets, along Prospect street to the foot of Mill Rock. The object, in short, is to make new road across the city connecting the Union depot with the outer or suburb ends of Winchester avenue and Prospect street. The citY's continual growth and expansion and the large growth of the Winchester armory and Prospect street sections, and the absence of any direct route to these sections are held by the projectors of the new road to justify fully their project as a public necessity. No doubt the matter will create great deal of public interest, es- pecially in the sections of the city over which the proposed new route is expected to pass.

 Yesterday we had occasion to visit the seo- ond floor art room at the establishment of George H. Ford. There are five connecting rooms, artistically arranged as parlors. Here are shown only selections from Europe, per- sonally made by MT. Ford last summer. In one room is an elegantly carved, old oak Dutch bookcase at $825. Near by is an in teresting piece of French tapestry, represent ing garden and palace in the time ot the Louis; and cabinets containing specimens of old China from 1750 down. In another room one may take rest in an old chair of the first empire, formerly 6 government piece and restored now to its original elegance, price S15O. Also in this room e very inter- estiDg tall clock peels out every two hours most charming music such as "Rriton's Strike Home" "Babes of Grace" and "Old Hum dred" for Sundays and other melodies. There are vases and pitchers from the celebrated potteries of Europe, paintings and placques and around the walls and on the tables are shown more than 2,00O plates of every size, costing from $5 to $100 per dozen. With all the elegant and exclusive articles the smaller and less elegant have not been for gotten. Hundreds of imported novelties. ranging in price from $1 to $5 each, have been conveniently arranged upon buffet where selections for small presents, can be judiciously and economically made. Such an establishment as this is advantage to our city and it does not seem that any one would have occasion to visit New York for anything in this line for Christmas present. Indeed such visit would seem to be super huous.
