THE B. so. depot, in Washington, is

THE B. so. depot, in Washington. is
exceedingly handy to the capitol-pIac>
tically next square-that no road in the
city can equal it in point of accessibility.
Another great advantage lies in the fact
that the B. & o. has its own trains.
When the time for departure comes af
ter the inaugural proceedings are at an
end, there is inevitably a rush to the
depots. In such depots where there are
various roads, one can readily imagine
the confusion which must exist, and the
consequent risk of getting upon wrong
trains. Nothing of this kind can occur
at the B. & o. depot, where the platforms
are spacious, and where there is no
crowding and jamming to get through
narrow gates, and being showed back
with the discouraging announcement
that it sis not your train.
