Col. JAS. II. WALBRIDGE, the gallant
commander of the old Second Vermont

committees see to it that carriages be
provided for officers of the Union army.
BY the r. R., time card, corrected to
date. in another column, our readers
will see that there are some important
changes made. For instance, the sleep
er out leaves at 1915 instead of 1910 a.
M, as formerly, and as these trains pass
at Salisbury instead of North Benning-
ton, passengers from the south wait a
few minutes at that station ordinarily.
This is a reversal of last years exper.
fence when the travellers from the North
waited until the road was doubled to
Hoosac junction. The train out in the
afternoon to meet the flyers goes at 2.55.
This connects both ways, and the 2.10 p
M, for the North is taken off. The 4.2C
p. M, train from Troy is cancelled, and,
as we said last week, the train from
New York arrives at 5.3S instead of {
o'clock as last year.
