Railroad.

Summer excursions, long or short, arc
| now necessities of American life. All
| classes indulge in these relaxations from
business during the Summer months The
rich extend the time to months the
| poor content themselves with a much
shorter withdrawal from the store, tho
manufactury or the workshop. TO foster
and encourage this feeling, the various
railroads of the country have inaugurated
Summer excursions to tho sea coast, the
mountain top, the shady valley and the
| quiet rural sections of this great country.
Foremost among the Summer excursions
| both for variety Of location, the cheapncss
| OF fare, and abundance of natural scenery,
arc those gotten up and managed by tho
Pennsylvania Railroad. All tastes can be
gratified by these trips over the stem line
of the Pennsylvania Road and its numer-
GUS branches. Eight hours ride from
Philadelphia brings tho traveller to Altoona
and Crcsson Springs, In the Allegheny
Mountains, and the famous Bedford
Springs arc reached by the Pennsylvania
Railroad to Huntingdon, and thence by the
Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad to
Bedford. Leaving the main line at Har-
risburg the route OF the traveller leads north
ward over the Northern Central and Erie
Railroads to the mountain resorts of Remove
and Kane, TO Watkins Glen, and the many
picturesque localities in the vicinity Of
Seneca Lake, all reached from Phladcl-
phia by express trains with luxurious Pull
man palace cars. Delaware Water GAP.
most picturesque and delightful retreat
from the heat OF Summer is reached via
Trenton and the Belvidcro Division of the
Pennsylvania Road, which runs along the
Delaware river, and presents constantly
changing panorama Of enjoyable views by
land and water. BY leaving the main line,
hundred other points can be reached,
where rcpose, comfort and health can be
Attained by all classes. AT the same time
all the most popular and attractive side
resorts on the Jersey Coast can be readily
and pleasantly reached by cars on the
Pennsylvania Railroad At the depot of
the company, in West Philadelphia tour
lists from inland localities will find cars
in waiting to transfer them-at cost Of
six ccnts-to the depot at the foot of Mar
kei Street, from which point Cape May,
Atlantic City, Beach Haven, and Seaside
Park may all be reached within two hours
and without change of cars. The traveller
continues his journey from the West Phlla-
dclphia depot to Sea Girt, Spring Lake,
Ocean Grove, and Long Branch, all Of
which points arc also reached in about the
same time and without change of cars. In
this way vast extent of country, richly
endowed with all natural charms and
health giving properties Is opened to the
enjoyment of persons of even moderate
means. The excursion rates are most
moderate, and cover such period of time
as will satisfy even the most cxacling, and
living accommodations, at all points, can
be obtained in such shapes as to fit oil pur-
SOS. The Summer excursion programme
of the Pennsylvania Railroad was never 80
extended, encircling anA complete as for
the summer of 1880, and no doubt the
travel will be correspondingly enlarged
When person can enjoy Summer vaca-
ton on the mountain or by the ocean side,
almost as cheap as living in the City, or in
the inland town, 1t is folly to tread the
pearls Of comfort and health under foot.
This blessing the Pennsylvania Railroad
puts within the reach of all by thcrentcr-
prise and liberality.
