This road is the western link in the new AIR LINE 
from Buffalo to Chicago, and runs from the Detroit River 
to Chicago in nearly a straight lino. 
The road is a part of ,he same line as the Canada 
Southern, and is being built by the same men—viz.: Mil- 
ton Court right, John F. Tracy, David Dows, Win. L. 
Scott, Henry Farnnm, R. A. Forsyth, Jno. M. Burke, M. 
L. Sykes, Jr., all directors either in the Chicago and 
North-West or the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific; 
Ocorge Opdyke, of the Midland Road ; Sidney Dillon, 
Daniel Drew, John Ross, David Stewart, Samuel J. 
Tiiden, Kenyon Cox, and other prominent railroad men. 
The road, like the Canada Southern, will have steel 
rails (60 pounds to the yard) throughout; is practically 
straight and level; much shorter; and can be run with 
greater speed and safety than any other road connecting 
Buffalo and Chicago. 
Twenty-five miles are finished and running; seventy- 
five miles more are so far advanced as to be finished by 
January 1st; and tho entire road will be completed dur¬ 
ing tlii ensuing year. Steel rails and ties for one half 
the entire road have already been purchased. 
The builders of the road cont'd enough of its Chicago 
feeders to obtain for it a profitable business from the 
sta t, having projected the line to accommodate existing 
business, and having seen the necessity for another 
trunk line between Chicago and the Atlantic seaboard, 
located expressly with the view of obtaining the cheap¬ 
est transportation practicable. 
The branch lines will make the shortest connections 
between Chicago and Toledo and Ch cago and Detroit, 
as well as between all these points and Buffalo. 
The Canada Southern Bonds, in every particular like 
these, were eagerly taken, the last of them seveial weeks 
ago, by the best class of investors, and were on the mar¬ 
ket a shorter time than any other railroad loan of like 
amount for years past. 
The proceeds of these Bonds will complete the entire 
line, and we recommend them witli the same confidence 
as we did tlie Canada Southern, and regard them as in 
every way a choice security.

C. L. RICE & CO., Chicago, Illinois: 
Dear Sirs: Yours of yesterday asking for my experience with 15. W. JOHNS’ PATENT ASBESTOS 
ROOFING duly received. In answer, would say, I have used Mr. Johns’ Rooting and Coating extensively for 
TEN YKA8SS past, and with great satisfaction ; I have applied it to more than three hundred roofs in Rockford, 
Illinois, and adja ent country. I have roofs in Rockford that have been on EIGHT YEARS without 
repairs— they are sound and goon, and by simply recoating will last as much longer. 1 have seen and tested muny 
kinds of Composition Roofing during the past ten years. I have seen nothing that comes up to “Johns’ Patent 
Asbestos.” ' Truly yonrs, L. M. WEST.

EARLY BEATR0CE PEACH, 
a great acquisition, limited three years in my orchards. 
This season’s shipments were large to New York and Phila¬ 
delphia. Fruit of excellent quality . at least 14 days earlier 
than Hale’s Early. Does not rot. and proves to be a great 
shipper. 'For reference and fall particulars send for Cata¬ 
logue. The Early Louise and Early Rivers Peaches have 
been fruited, but not in large quantities sufficient to deter¬ 
mine their shipping value. Quality of fruit apparently good. 
The two latter and the Foster Peach will be fully tested 
next season. 
Local agents wanted through the country. None need 
apply without satisfactory reference.
