phia to three dollars for the route va Newcastle and
Frenchown, tickets being good for two weeks from Sa
turday next. The Philadelphia and New York Company
has also reduced its fare four dollars for the round trip

city, therefore will cost dollars. The New York
and Erie Railroad Company having set their round tickets
from New York city to Buffalo at nine dollars the round
trip from Baltimore Buffalo win sixteen dollars.
There then remain but twenty miles of railroad to be ira
yelled from Buffalo to the Falls. This be done in

fifty to sixty cents.
The excursion tickets upon the Erie road to New York
from Buffalo llbe good for week from Saturday next

neghboring attractions in quiet after the celebration is

badly leave here by the boat for Philadelphia Saturday

to allow passengers to reach the Falls at less rate
even than by the great Erie railroad at least allow
them choice Of the routes
