St. Cloud Democrat. [volume] (Saint Cloud, Stearns County, Minn.) 1858-1866, 1865-10-26
FROM ST. CLOUD To NEW York.

A. it is the duty Of every one to con.
tribute their mite, however small it may
be, toward the benefit OF comfort Of
others, We may venture to state Whit,
after several trials, wc consider to be d
route Of travel between 'Minnesota and
the East superior to almost all others,
in every particular Of comfort, speed
and pleasure >; ,s4sg-se :@..>~ a. :,
Leaving St. Cloud, for; instance OF
Monday morning, aboard ono Of Bur
bank 4 Co.'S coaches, the, trip to Elk
River is made before three o'clock, and
St. Paul is reached by rail- In time for
tee at six. Opportunity is offered for a
good nights rest, and to transact busi-
ness in the morning before the starting
Of the half past ten steamer for La
Crosse. At that hour on. Tuesday
morning, you leave the St. Paul wharf
aboard ono OF the large and comfortable
steamers of'the Davidson line This
line enjoys an enviable reputation
among travellers up, aud down the river,
and Is much the favoritc. Ifyour good
fortune shall find y,u aboard Of the
Northern Belle, the hrecst Of tho Com
pany's boats, where Clerk Hatcher
dwelleth. you may be doubly thankful.
A quick and pleasant trip down the
Mississippi, with a enc view Of the pic
toresquc scenery on either side during
the day, and with one might. on. the
boat, and'Ls Crosse is reached in timc
for the 5 A.; NJ. train on Wednesday.
A seat in ono Of the comfortable cars Of
the In Crosse and Milwaukee Railroad,
and you are bound for Chicago, pass
ing rapidly many pleasant Wisconsin
towns. BY this route you are able to
90 through to Milwaukee and from
thence to Chicago, or to take the North
western line at Watertown Junction
foa the same place. We preferred the
latter change, and found that most Of
our fellow passengers were Of the came
mind. Chicago is reached BY eish,
o'clock in the evening, and 1t ten tho
night express leaves the derot Of the
Pittshurg, Fl. Wayue:& t. Chicago Rail-
way--thus allowing the passengers two
hours for supper This line, in con.
nection with the Pennsylvania Central,
is really the great central route between
the East and West: Passengers taking
it get through to New York with bnt
one change OF c.rs-and that in: the
new and immense Union Depot at Pitts
burg, where there is no trouble but to
step from one car,o another. all under
the same roof-tcing less than can be
obtained by any other route. :Thi; one
item is cf no little consequence, as tho
greatest discomfort in travelling IL the
frequent changes neccssitatcd by most
of the lines. Leaving Chicago at ten
O'Clock on Wednesday night, passen.
gers arrive in Pittsburg At $40 on
Thursday evening, and in New York At
2:45 the next afternoon in Philadel-
pha At little after noon or in Wash
ington at . quarter past Eve the same
evening. From Pittsburg, to New
York, Philadelphia or Washington,
there is 10 change Of cars. OF the su-
periority Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
in speed and comfort, and Of the mag
ni6cent mountain scenery, We have
heretofore spoken, and would reiterate
all we have said. -
To recapitulate: Buy tickets to the
east via La Crosse, Watertown, Chicago
and Pittshurp-and van will not renent
