The Western Md. Railroad.

MESsRs. EDITORS The schedule of the Western
MARYLAND Railroad Co.. recently announced, has
very Justly excited considerable comment. The
schedules from time to time, and particularly the
last schedule, certainly has not been fixed upon by
the officials of the Company with any regard to the
convenience of the frequent patrons of the road.
To say that the wants ofthe people who travel over
the road and live beyond Glyndon were ever con-
sidered by the managers would be absurd. The
people of Carroll county have made great sac
est in its success. The business portion of the COM
munity surely do not obtain the conveniences of
travel TO which they are entitled. The people who
live within twelve or fifteen miles of Baltimore
have trains to suit their convenience. A train is
run to Glyndon in the evening, and remains there
portunity of leaving their station at an hour which
puts them in Baltimore in time for business, and in
the evening can get home at a seasonable hour
The patrons of the road who live here must either
leave Baltimore at O'Clock on the late train at
night. Besides we have train leaving here at l. 50
business hours. We want train to put us in Balti-
more at about $50 a. m one about 1-3O p. m, and a
train to leave Baltimore about o'clock, p. IN.
With trains running at seasonable and convenient
hours we could not only attend to full days bust
ness in the city, but we could offer inducements TO
houses and attend to their business conveniently in
the city The railroad facilities afforded us for years
are not such will tend to develop our community
but will certainly force people off on other roads 1t
may be nonsense for people TO complain about the in
conyeniences of travel over this road and may not
terest in our personal affairs and knowing that
people along the line of the road either way within
fifteen miles of get trains 10 run at convenient
hours, and knowing that the receipts from our
people are not small item, we can at least speak
of what we consider unfair to u.s. business.

Are LARGE RETAILERS, J0BBERS and
IMPORTERS OF DRY GOODS. Their
stock embraces every class and description OF
goods that can be named under that head.
They do not keep any article in stock that,
though low-priced, would be worthless to the
buyer at any price. They have been in bust,
ness under the firm of HAMILTON EASTER
& co. or HAMILTON EASTER & SONS
for fifty -four years. They do business hon.
estly and fairly. The price, in plain figures,
is marked on every article. The most mex.
perienced buyer can deal with them and pay
no more than any one else.
They show their goods freely, but do not
solicit or press any one to buy.
Will send SAMPLES when requested, on
receiving plain instructions in regard to the
goods required-about the price wanted, col
ors preferred, &c.
Being regular importers and large pur
chasers, they are in a position to buy their
goods on the best terms, and consequently can
sell their goods at prices much to the advan-
tage of purchasers.
