   Trains Delayed. - The storms of last week were unfavorable for railroad travel, particularly on the Midland. Communication with Cortland, via the Auburn Branch, was suspended during most of the week. The train which left this station on Tuesday of last week was detained at Cortland until Monday last. Paymaster Thatcher's car attempted in vain to reach Cortland on Wednesday, and returned on Thursday morning, with five engines. The train due from Oswego on Wednesday evening did not put in an appearance until between three and four o'clock on Friday morning. Profanity among snow-bound travelers was unusually frequent, to say nothing of the railroad employees.
