Gunning Railway Station.


A party writing from Gunning, directs attention to the inconvenience and hardships which arise at the railway station there through no fire being lit either in the gentlemen's or ladies' waiting room. Often persons have to remain a considerable time in waiting for trains, and these cold winter nights are very trying, more particularly so on ladies ; and what renders the state of things even worse still, is that the officials are well provided for in this respect, This gentleman was at Gunning two nights in succession, and no trace of a fire was there. He was informed that perhaps once a week, or some times less frequently, a fire is to be seen in either of the waiting rooms. He very justly says that something should be done for the comfort of passengers, and the officials should be instructed not to give all their time to providing for their own wants to the neglect of those of the public.
