There seems to be considerable dissatisfaction
and faultfnding among the commuters on the
L. M Rai1road on account of the delay of the
trains each evening in arriving at the Public
Landing. 1t was clock on Saturday night be-
fore the $40 train pulled out, and the impreca-
tons uttered against the railroad were numerous.
Each tram ought to be at the. Landing at
least half an hour before starting time, and the
man who has charge of making up the trains
should see that this is promptly and energetcally
attended to.
| The rapid increase in travel ON the aecommoda-
ton trains between the city and stations all along
the line denotes an advancement in the number
of suburban residents hence the necessity of more
spacious stations at q number Of the stopping
places. Tusculum Station requires especial mem
ton, as it is of insufficient dimensions to comfort
ably contain the large number of commuters who
get on the trains there. A larger station at that
place would be appreciated by all. As it is the gen.
eral desire that one shall be erected, the Railroad
Company would perhaps do well to do SO.
According to the usual custom, the Superin-
tendent OF the Congregational Sunday-school san-
nounced to the children that Santa Claus would
be present at the church on Christmas Eve with a
bountiful supply Of candy, ct cetera This was
sufficient. The children were forthcoming, and
any one not acquainted with the usual enrolment
each Sunday would imagine the school was in an
exceedingly fiourishng condition, to judge from
the attendance Tuesday night. Everything passed
off orderly. There is one thing, however, which
would be appropriate to mention here: 1t has very
near eveBy year been the habit of the managers Of
the Christmas Eve entertainment at this church to
detain the children until the Ito them) unseemly
hour of 10 or II o'clock; they become very restless
and as consequence it is hard to retain quiet.
Persons living in Pendleton, who rely on the
dummy, have to walk home, which at this time of
the year is unpleasant. The programme Tuesday
night was good, although too lengthy entirely.
