For Railway Passengers Guidance.

? THE LOCAIi TIME TABLE. Searching through a railway _ timetacle makes most people irritable. The railway table, like the polony, contains many good things, bnt the public prefer to have the one particular tood (whether mental or alimentary) desired on a given occasion, not a hotchpotch of figures concerning the branch line of Toko, the side track at Waggonville, or the cross lino to Nevormareh. The particular figures likely to be of benefit to dwellers between Paekakariki and Palmerston North are what readers of the Horowhenua Chronicle need # most, and for our readers' convenience those figures are now appended :—

Some of the above trains will stop at intermediate stations, such as Tokomaru, Ohau, Manakau, Te Horo, etc.; but there are some which do not. Residents should acquaint themselves with the traina which do stop at their particular stations

As previously mentioned, there are several wayside stations at which one or more of the above trains will stop whenever passengers desire to be set down or taken, up. Local residents may ascertain which are the trains which cater for their towns, and may then work out, from the above figures, the time which the train will take to travel from the station immediately preceding. The Auckland express reaches Palmerston, from the North, ai 12.40 p.m. and arrives at Thorndon at 4.7 p.m. The Auckland express leaves Thorndon at 12.15 p.m. and reaches Palmerston at 8.35 p.m
