Improving the station at Devon

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company have concluded to dig a well and fix up the station building at Devon suitable for a family to live in, and will also make it a ticket office instead of a flag station, as at present. A petition has also been forwarded to “the powers that be,” at Washington, to establish a post-office at that place, or to remove the one at Eagle Station to that point. Messrs Coffin and Altemus will also have telegraph wires run to the station for the use of the guests at their new hotel. In case the new road that has been asked for at that place is granted, a new and handsome station house will be built.
