$50 \ YEAR IN ADVANCE.

passengers for the last ~ trips were 50. The
steamers touch at Halifax once fortnight
and this would of course give 205O for tho
year. Meagre as this statement looks, a dedu :
cticn of at least three quarters is to be made
from this nUmber in order to get at the passcn.
gers who would take the rails at Halifax.
The passeng rs who leaves the boat at Hall
fax and takes the rails. loses time and comfort
and money. He has fairly recovered from sea-
sickness before he arrives there. In thirty three
hours more he will be in Bost on. and for no adj
dltional pay. The passag money is the same to
Halifax as to Boston, l. can hardly be sup
posed he will iurn out OF his comfortable
quarters, overhaul HI. baggage and paw S2'
extra for the purpose of being jolted thre.
DAYS ride over a compai ativclv dreary looking
country to Boston. ohody who had any re-
gard to his ease would do 1t.
The roal would not have even the Provin- =
cal travel. \ passenger can now take the
rails from Halifax to Winsor. and thence in
first class steamers to Boston for $3.50 This
can be done in 36 hours. The distance by
railroad from Halifax to Boston would not be
less than 700 miles, and the price should be
at least S;2D. The cars now accomplish the
distance between Bangor aud Boston in one
day. |, would be double the time from Ban
gor to II ialiiax, as it Is about double the dis
tance.

parts. 1t would be a days ride by rail from

days ride from 81 John to Bangor, DIS

a day irt III Bangor 10 Bostot, distance OF
about 24a mites. Inc practice OF il@htnlnF
speed by rails is past. II Is found that loco
motives like horses wheeze and complain at
over driving. Dobbir can accomplish his five
miles an hour and Keep tat ON twenty-five OF
