all this trouble has been obviated and we
are heartily glad of it Now, if the au,
thorities of the B. & o. R. r. could make
it convenient to establish a ticket office
here for the accommodation Of passengers
whose numbers amount to from fifty ID
sixty per week, we would return them u

town council and extend them all the
privileges at our disposal, which are not
very many.
