The dropping of Of one train per day on
the Virginia Midland and the Richmond and
pqnyille railroads is construed as implying
that the managers Of those roads have moi
the ability to extract from the sections tribu-
lary 10 those roads that which those sections
cannot atford--tcavel and freight enough for
the previous schedules. That is all, perhaps.
But the change of schedules without sutl-
Gent notice produced dsappointments-
some amusing, some rexatious and serious.
Numbers of people gathered at the deEo,S
before day, while the thermometer was
down near zero, and some came away IN not
a very pious frame Of mind, and were wear
iug wry rye) faces during the day.
4 small wood building on Grove street, in
the rear of Mr.. II. A. Wiseman's, was burn
cd down list night. 1t was occupied, and
must have been set fire TO by an incendiary.
The usual preparations are being made for
the endowment Of the Christmas holidays.
Surday.school celebrations, balls, parties, &c,
are to be the order of the day for the next
