SERIOUS IScoNyENIrscE-We would like 10
call the attention of the respected agent of the
Railroad Company to the fact, that 1t is very nat
urai for persons to go TO the railroad depot 70 meet
their loved relatives and friends and conduct them
to their respective homes or other places Of accom-
mediation in town and country, and also TO meet
ladies' and children; and persons who go to the
depot for this purpose, like to be q little before
hand Of the time of the arrival of tic cars, and
often the trains are behind the time but il Is not
pleasant to go to the depot and find the doors and
places Of entrance fastened, and no admitsascsn
until the trains arrive the standing on the pave
ment or street in wind, rain, snow, and damp, are
not pleasant; neither is 1t pleasant to be hustled
among hack-drivers, porters, tobacco smoke, and
spitte, hearing all sorts Of vugarity &c, because
some one does not choose to open the doors to ad-
init those who have business there to intercept
their friends To females in particular, this shut
ting ont in the street until the trains arrive is
abominable. We presume the agent is not aware
that the doors are thus kept closed, and therefore
hope they win be hereafter open.
And, while on this topic, we might ask If It
would not be as well for the company to provide
a room with stove in it for the accommodation Of
messengers, porters, and the little news-boys, too
God bless them, and others, while waiting the ar
rival Of trains early of morning and late at night
giving shelter from the pelting shower and I'M
feeling cold blasts of a winter season? Come Mes
sieurs Of the railroad remember the poor, comfort
them when it costs so little; you would be none
the worse for it--they all the better Certainly
the community pay enough for freight and passage
on your line. Let Washington depot not be worse
than others. We may refer to this again. G.
