They all have gray hair and gray-haired people are nowhere in a majority except in Grand Army Posts and on the "Argument Bench" in Capitol Park.

The Levanon Valley Railroad, now the division of the Reading system running into from Reading, was finHarrisburg, as Lebanon about July 4, 1857. "The good time for which we have been waiting so long and anxiously," says the Lebanon Courier in June of that year, "is almost here." On Monday, November 30th, following, the road was opened for traffic as far as Hummelstown. Seven days later a card appeared in the Harrisburg papers, headed "'The Travellers' Guide," and reading as follows: "LEBANON VALLEY." "Stages leave Colder's office, Market Square, for Hummelstown, to connect with trains for Levanon and Reading, as follows: 1st Stage at 10 A. 2d Stage at 12.30 P. M.

Arrive at 3 P. M. Mail closes for Reading 7A. dankent was one train each way in a day. Going westward it left Reading at .0.20 A.

M. and arrived at Hummelstown at 1 P. M. a Going eastward, it left Hummelstown 2.30 P. M.

and arrived in Reading at 5.10 P. M. It took four hours and forty minutes to make the distance between Harrisburg and Reading, while staging nine miles of After the road was completed the time required was two hours and forty minutes. The fare each way was $1.60 and $1.30 for a first-class and second- class passage, respectively. One freight train was run three times a week each way.

It covered the distance in tive hours and a half. Hummelstown remained 'the terminus of the track until January. 8, 1859, the day before the inauguration of Governor Packer, when trains were run into Harrisburg. 'The Reading Rifles, and several other military of companies, citizens as came well to as the a large inauguration number over the new 'A' great many visitors came to the Capital from "Alt Berks" and "Lebanon up" on that occasion. The opening of a new railroad and the inauguration of a new Governor were two things too good to be missed by one stone.

The delay in constructing the road between Hummelstown and Harrisburg was caused by the erection of the bridge over the Swatara at Hummelstown and the cut east of The latter offered the most obstinate resistance to grading along the whole line. The first depot in Harrisburg was not the "old station" just abandoned, but a temporary building at the foot of- Market street, completed January 16, 1858-a few days before the first train came through. The foundation for a new depot and what is now the old depot was laid in May following. It was to be a monster affair and an ornament to the town, superior in every respect to the Pennsylvania depot, being longer and thirty feet wider. By December 3, the building was under roof and the ends and sides were covered.

Nothing remained to be put in place except the dow sashes and the interior arrangeThe town papers the pronounced it "a handsome and massive structure, adding greatly to the appearance of that part of the town in which it is located." However, some "Reader of The a few days later begged to differ on the question of its handsomeness. He wrote, "Yes, it is massive, but it is not an addition to the good looks of the town, as any one may see that stands at Third and Market and casts his eves in the eastern direction. From this point it looks as if. a first-class fortress had been built Market street." But this "Reader" did not refer to a lack of architectural veauty, but to the protrusion into the street. He was finding fault with the city fathers that they did not tin extension of Market street in 1111- broken line, before the depot had been located.

January 27, 1859, the new depot of the Lebanon Valley Railroad was nearly finished. on February 25th the gas fixtures were ready for use and there was a brilliant illumination in the evening. Nineteen burners were distributed through the various rooms of the large building, and everybody rejoiced in the comfort and convenience of the Lebanon Valley Railroad station. On the 14th of March the ticket office of the Northern Central Railway was also moved into this new building. Only four faces have been mirrored on the eyes of the passengers since the ticket windows were opened in 1859.

They were those of John J. Clyde, I. W. Buffington, C. A.

Price and W. S. Walter, agent. Of these, Mr. Bumingtonesentagente the longest, having sold tickets for more than quarter of a century.

A man would be called a fool if he wept over the passing away of the old depot--especially if he shed within sight of the Reading, new and beautiful structure across the way. Still, to such bave gone in and out there for nearly half a century, starting on and coming from all sorts of missions the thought that they shall see the place no more is a sad one. Why should it not De so? It has its memories the same as the "old homestead," "the old oaken "the old clock on the stairway," and "the old school house down by the creek." Many a grizzled veteran of the Civil War stepped off the cars under its roof and there for the first time counted the number of miles he had come away from home on his way to the battlefields of the South. The joys and sorrows of life were often jostling each other there in their frantic efforts to go and come. Some recall waiting for the arrival of the dead, others for the departure of the bridal pair.

Some paced the floors, for hours in dread expectation, others sat complacently in happy anticipation. Ah, yes; you must not think it foolish if those that counted time in the old depot by heartthrobs do not know whether to laugh or to cry when the old Reading shall have peen razed to the statina. L.

Social and Personal Items on Second No Reduction in Rails More than a score of prominent officials said yesterday that although there is a difference of $8 a ton between the price of light and heavy steel rails, the railroads will not insist upon a reduction of the pool price when the rail manufacturers committee meets next month in New York to adjust prices for next year.
