   Auburn Branch. - No change is yet made on the Branch, between this village and DeRuyter. While two trains daily run between that place and Ithaca, we have but one on this end of the line, which does not connect with anything. It leaves this station in the evening, and reaches DeRuyter after the last train has left, hours before, for the west.

   This gives the weary passenger an opportunity to take a night's rest in that village, to pursue his journey on the morning train for Cortland and Ithaca, which leaves about ten o'clock. Coming east, the same state of things exists, our train leaving DeRuyter early in the morning, before the arrival of the train from the west. It is said that a change will soon be made - perhaps within a week - between Norwich and DeRuyter, and that the road will be doubled, to connect on the same day. No one will object.
