Company as seized with the following

The managers of The Magnetic Tele-

New York, have arranged to have a
messenger at the cars upon the arrival
of each through train at their several
way stations between New York and
Washington, who will receive any mes
sages which passengers may wish to send
forward or back to stations upon the
line. 1t frequently occurs that persons
leaving home may have forgotten, and
left something, or have neglected to give
some instructions intended in the haste
of departure, or that they wish to tele-
graph to their friends in advance, or to
secure comfortable quarters at hotel,
and this arrangement will prove to be
quite an accommodation TO the travelling
public.
