believe that our population will be found in the
neighborhood Of half million. We can only re-
commend them to pay us visit, and not con6ne
their attention to the City proper, but to extend
their rambles to the Districts of the County, and
especially to those of them that have advanced
SO rapidly since the last census was taken. Moth
ing perhaps could more fully illustrate the onward
progress OF Phiiade phia than the successful exis-
tence tthe present time of so many well conduct
ed omnibus lines, and the extent of ground over
which these lines travel, many times during each
day. Thus we have one line, the route of which
embraces the whole eastern front of PHILADELPHIA,
from the Navy Yard TO the village of Richmond,
distance of something like five miles, and through
out thickly and densely populated. This, then,
may afford the reader at distance, some idea of
the Eastern, or Delaware front of Philadelphia -
The space between the Delaware and the Schuyl-
kill rivers, the two streams which border our east
tern and western limits, is something like two
miles long on the eastern extremity, and narrow
ing towards the west, or Schuykill, that our popu-
laon of45O, 900 and upwards may be found. All
the outer Districts have improved very rapidly
within q few wears, and are still improving Our
omnibus lines pass in every direction and thus
afford facilities which are only beginning TO be
appreciated The spirit, too is still onward
New factories are starting up in every quarter.
and these soon become busy hives of industry, and
from the nuclei of new towns and villages.
