CHANGE OF TIME.-There has been
a change of time made on the Ohio
4 Mississippi Railroad that will prob
ably affect the connections with the
X. & G. Railroad at Vincennes. We
have not been able to secure a copy
Of the new time table, but hope to do
so to-day. Passengers leaving here
by the 9:12 A. NJ. mail train, will leave
Vincennes at 3:15 r. NJ, and arrive in
Cincinnati at 1905 next morning
Passengers leaving by the 4:25 p. NJ.
Dob TaiD train, leave Vincennes at
1905 P. NJ, and arrive in Cincinnati
at Cos next morning. Passengers by
the morning train arrive at Jefferson
willie at lilo the same night, aud
passengers by the 4:25 bob-tail arrive
at Jacksonville at next morning.
Passengers by the morning mail
train for St. Louis leave Vincennes at
5:30 p. NJ, and arrive at St. Louis at
la. NJ.
Passengers by the evening train
from this city leave Vincennes at 2 40
A. NJ, and arrive at st. Louis at 10
A. NJ.
by this change 1t will be seen that
there is no close connection made with
any train in either direction by trains
leaving this city.
