   The Utica, Ithaca & Elmira Railroad Co. has made arrangements to run the Midland from Cortland to DeRuyter, giving the public two trains daily each way. Yesterday the first train was run, taking from Ithaca, Cortland and other places, a large number of invited guests.

   This arrangement meets the approbation of the entire public and will afford the utmost satisfaction to residents along the line. The managers of the Utica, Ithaca & Elmira R.R. have been very successful, and they will bring the same judgment to bear in running this addition to the line. The new timetable of the U.I.&E. R.R. will be found on this page, and the residents of Truxton and Cuyler can see for themselves how the trains are run.
