The engagement committee for

notice from the authorities of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad that
the summer schedule Of that road
will be put into effect about the
middle OF May this year. This
step was taken by request of the
committee here for ;he benefit of
the meeting of the Asse nby, A
petition was circulated in Licking
tpn among the business and pro-
fessional men asking that this
change be made. Influence was
also brought 10 bear by residents
Of Richmond who are interested in
the Assembly. The fact that the
president Of the road, George w.
Stevens, Esq. has his summer home
in Rock briGge, also had Its weight
in deciding for the change.
AT any rate, the change of
scneuuIe VIII prove great accom-
mediation to residents Of towns
in eastern parts Of Tho STATE who
wish 10 aFtenG the meetings of the
Assembly here. The train will
reach Lexington early in the morn
ing and leave late in the afternoon,
say at Il O'Clock.
Efforts are now being made, with
every assurance of success, that
the Baltimore and Ohio authorities
will also give special service
during the Assembly. 1t is desired
that 2 train DO pot Oh which will
leave Lexington late in the after
noon for Staunton, Harrisonburg
and other points along the Valley.
The train arriving here now at
GAP q. ~. will give sufficient ac-
commodation for reaching Lex
ington, but at present there is no
way of leaving here late in the
afternoon for any point in the
Valley north of Lexington.
