lhronged to all appearance beyond us capacity,
by double influx of passengers on account of
the temporary withdrawal of the Albany for the

gentlemen at once" Having charge of three
railroads, believe which form triangle between
Troy, Saratoga and Schenectady, he appears to
have bit upon the reasonable notion Of being all

shines in bringing order out OF the confusion oi
tongues and war Of words which always breaks
out at railroad depot in the Distribution and
