We learn from the advertisement of the
Central Railroad Company that an accommo'
dation train has bsen put on that road between
this city and Charlottesville to leave the lat
ter place at $50 A. NJ, and Richmond at )
o'clock p. NJ. The time of departure from
Charlottesville enables persons along the route
to send milk, fresh meats, aud vegetables to
the city, and for the sale Of these the com
pany has appropriated a warehouse, where
they can be exhibited and disposed OF. The
first train will be run on Monday next.
This arrangement will be very great &C.
commodation to the public, and very con-
siderable benefit to this city. The company
deserves to be we'll supported in the nuder'
taking. II tits not Immediately remunera'ive,
however, it will soon build up a large business
which will pay most handsomely.
