been cutting down fares for some weeks past This

cept one the fare TO Buffalo is 49, the same as BY The
Hudson River and Central On the one train which
leaves New-York at u p. NJ. and very slowly
tho fare is SC 50, the same by tho Hudson River
boats and the Central Railroad The same Is true
from Buffalo to New-York. But the Erie hes con-
troll over the Hornelsvlle Road any more than the

vile Road carries passengers on their road at less than
usual rates or for nothing the Erie cannot help It
