THE BEST ROUTE TO THE EAST. You have
the choice OF many routs when you desire to
travel east, but it is a fact that the people
are beginning to fully appreciate that the
most comfortable and expeditions line OF
travel is that via the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne
and Pennsylvania Central. These roads are
second to none in the world. You are cure
of perfect accommodations, perfect connee-
tions, and fast time. We have tried all the
lines, and know whereof we affirm when we
speak as above, The travelling public
should bear these facts in mind. There is
another consideration in regard to the Penn
sylvanis Central that is valuable. To view
the magnificent and sublime scenery that is
presented every where along that line, is well
worth the price of the ticket. There is moth
ing so really grand in the country-noshing
that SO completely captivates the eye and rem
ders the trip one of deepest pleasure.
These lines are admirably managed. The
officers are gentlemen, and take particular
pains to make every thing agreeable. w. I'll.

Pennsylvania Central, and W. q. Cleland,

come inquiry. Various theories are resorted
