some lot 1of boxes, 200 in number, IN the

Too LATE AGAIN.-A decidedly interest
ing "Loy's Locals arrived one mail too late

INToLERABLE.-Thc present railroad con
nections between this point and Frederick
City are simply outrageous One must leave
for the train at this point before 8 o'clock 4.
M; you arrive in Frederick in time to do
business after you get your dinner aud it is
not safe to rely upon doing any business af-
ter 3 p. III. In word there are practically
less than hours in which to do any bust
ness and yet you are away from home from
before a. m. until nearly p. III. orc hours,
a great part of which time must be put in at
that magnliiccntly entertaining winter re-
sort, Frederick Junction. Hurry up the
railroad to Catoctin Furnaces; we will then
go that far by rail and tramp it thence to
Frederick.
We are bound to say in this connection
that it is by no means the fault of the W.
Md. road that the Frederick inconvenience
is what it is: were the p. r. r. to exert itself
to accommodate North Frederick County
travel, ii would be possible to have hours,
right IN the business heart of the day in
Frederick.
