   The Midland. - It really looks as though the people in the western towns of this county were to be deprived of their newly acquired railroad accommodations. The recent action of the company looks like an abandonment of the line, west from  Freeville. They have already discharged their agents, closed their offices and are running but one train a week each way - going west on Wednesday, to the terminus, in Scipio, and returning on Thursday.

   Agent Parsons, of the Southern Central, at this station, has been notified not to accept any more freight to be shipped west on that line. This action must also cause serious derangement to the mail facilities, and be the  source of a great inconvenience to the people living along the line of the road in this and Tompkins counties. We regret, for the sake of our neighbors over west that the road cannot be made profitable to the company. - Moravia Register
