From Buffalo to this city we were 4s hon,,
distance $50 miles, not quite miles per bon,
What contrast between coaches and steamers
The usual summer time is Is hours. Half VIZ,
is the borough or town of Erie, smart place
with hotel as large as the Astor House, ca,ro3

Mess Pork So bbl. Lard 81 Tallow a 6lc
Corn Al cents; and these prices correspond VIII
those in the interior, and in Michigan, Ind;,,a

to get as much for their Lard almost at the;,
doors as they could in Ncw.York. The Cloth
Dresser and Machinist instead of imsorting their
Oil from Spain or the Pacific, gets much 81.
