On Monday next will commence tht
new arrangement for carrying The mdIls
and passengers from this place to Phila-
delphia, over the Philadelphia and Sonbury
Railroad. The proprietors OF the stage
line TO Pottsyille have made arrangements
with the company to carry the passengers
to and from Shautokin in six hours. The
cars will leave Sunbury at 7 o'clock in the
morning, arrive in Shamokn at s O'Clock,
where they will take the coaches, and ar !
rive at Pottsville, according TO this ar
rangtment, al . O'Clock p. NJ, an hour and |
half before the afternoon tain leaves for
Philadelphia. On their return from Phil
adel phia, passengers will r"ach Shamokin
about 6 o'clock, and this place about in
the evening. Thus it may be said at last,
that the trip from Philadelphia TO Sunbury
is made through by daylight, and the
morning papers of the city can be read IN
this place the same day, before candle
light. This will be great convenience
not only 10 the travelling public, but on ac-
count oi our mail facilities. Letters dated
at Philadelphia in the morning, can be re-
ceiyed and replied to the same evening,
and the answer received in the city the even
ing OF the next day. The fare through 10
Philadelphia is fixed al 81. From this
place TO Shamokin the fare is fixed at GO
cents, or the round trip for 81. There
will also be an accommodation train which
will leave Shamokin about 10 O'clock A
NJ, and this place about 3 o'clock P. NJ.
These rates of fare are assuredly low
enough 10 induce an extended travel over
the road. Unlike the sold fogyism" that
controls the management OF most railways,
starting out with exorbiant tolls, aud trnl-
ciously adhering to them, the directors o.
:hp Philadelphia and Sunbury Road, hav,
been governed by wise councils in making
their company common carrier at prices
= 10 sui, the times. Hundreds, in addition
t. those who must necessarily pass over III,
road on business, will now take trip on
, account OF the cheapneSs OF the fare. CHI
=, zenS here, and all along The SuSquehanna
should not, and We know will not hesitate
|, to avail themselves of the excellent laCiii
ties for travel to The basin of our great
= mineral deposits. Low fares nave mainI,
been the cause oi the enormous travel owe
d the railways, IN the Nrw Ensiaad States
and 1t is idir to presume that The lul,Iatur,
sep taken by our company, will De atten
drd, IN corresponding degree, with lik
: results. We con. ratulate the ra,-lhr
