THE AGE OF PROGRESS.

II it were necessary 10 convince a man
of the utility as well as the comfort and
convenience of rail roads, as compared
with turnpikes, we would advise him to
take trip between this place and Potts
vile in stage coach. The distance is
forty miles--the roads, though mountain
ous, are tine--the air fresh and the scenery
beautiful and the time though precious
abundant, so abundant indeed that the i'm
patient traveller begins to realise the truth
that time and eternity are the same. On
Saturday at o'clock, P. NJ, twenty-tbree
individuals, independent Of several youngs-
ters, left the dusty borough of Pottsville,
for the beautiful green banks Of the Susque-
hanna, eleven of whom including ourspf,
were destined to this place, the rest going
to Danvlle, Cattawissa, SC. Thirteen and
half mortal hours We're consumed in the
trip, averaging almost three miles to the
hour. A few days since, on the Hudson
River Rail Road, the same distance was
run in forty-eight minutes What con-
trast in thus go-ahead age of steam and
electricity
! The time will soon come when we shall
travel between Sunbury and Pottsville in
two hours, but even now eight or nine
hours is ample time, and all that should be
required. The stages between Tamaqua
aud Wilkbarre are now run in about sew
en- hours, the roads are about The same
character, only something worse, and the
distance is only two miles less, while the
fare is fifty cents less. One driver drives
the whole distance. If passengers were
brought here by 9 or 10 O'Clock, hundreds
would take this route who now avoid il, as
it would then be, what 1t should be, the
quickest and most pleasant route 10 the
city, instead of the mos, tedious. We shall
recur to this subject again.
