   Auburn Branch. - In reference to the time table at the head of our local columns (see below), it will be seen that an important and very desirable change has been made in the running time on the Auburn Branch of the Midland, which took effect Monday last. By the new arrangement, a train leaves Cortland at 5:30 a.m., arriving in Norwich at 8:25 a.m. Returning, leaves this station at 3 p.m., arriving in Cortland at 6:05 p.m. A train also leaves DeRuyter for Cortland at 7:10 a.m., returning to that station at 9:45 p.m. This will prove a great convenience to those residing on the line of the road, as it will give them nearly a day in which to transact their business in town, instead of a couple of hours, as heretofore. Superintendent Lanphere has done the correct thing, and is entitled to the thanks of our citizens, as well as those who have occasion to visit us, for the change.

   The morning train arrives in Norwich in time to connect with the morning train for New York, and will take butter, cheese, eggs and stock for New York from all stations, freight arriving in New York about midnight same day.

   UI&E Express. - Leave DeRuyter at 7:10 A.M., arriving in Cortland at 8:15 A.M. Leave Cortland at 8:45 P.M., arriving in DeRuyter at 9:45 P.M.
