as well as comfort in travelling principally

fpefts, the New Road is, beyond all cots p3 "

rocky hills, which render the Old Read so
fatiguing betweea the Delaware livd Newark.
The foil, too, for the far greater part, is f uc fc

With refpedl t& 'Packages sent on without
passengers, the proprietors prelum* they hive
. adopted a regulation, "which, though u:v
- known toother Lines of btaget, theythir.k
- mvi,ft.!(neet with general approbation,—They
1 -pledge themselves.to niakegoodeveiy pacLge
| or the following jconditions. The person
who de.livers the. package at the office.fliall
tee it entered in the Stage Book, for -which
. entry he fball pay 6 cents-: he will then date
i the value of-the paokage, ind pay,!(<w.lti.
) five of the carriage) one per cent oa.de va
[ lue, ai infuranee, and for which he will re
ceive a receipt. Thus,.for inflance, if he
| eftiujates his package at one dollar, he nil
pay one cent, and if at one hundred dollars
he will pay onedollar infurafice, and in like
, proportion sos packages of any other value.
Very few persons, it is presumed, vi!
■ dislike this 'regulation ; it will however, bt
aptional with every one to avail himfelf of
this security or not. But the proprietor
think it right to state very explicitly, that
they will be responsible for the fafe deliver 7
of no package, which is not regplarly enter
ed, and for which an infu ranee receipt can
not be produced.
In the distribution of the Route the great
est care has teen taken to fix on such places
and Taverns as fkail.always afford good ac
commodation and entertainmentfor'tliepjl
fengers at the most reasonable rates. Ihe
Stages are all well-equipped, furnifhed "with
fleet and steady horses, and committed to the
careof intelligent, sober and obliging drivers.
The Proprietors themfclves live at the dif
ferent towns and villages where the Stages
will stop, fothat the conduct of ..the persons
they employ will te continually an objedl of
their attention. They will take care also to
fee, that the passengers ar; provided for
and politely treated at the Tavsrns. and that
no fort of chicanery or infojence friall be
praftifed upoif them : in short, they are rc
folved, that neltlier pains nor eypence fun!!
be wanting^to-render the SWIFT-SL*BK
the. very beu tape of Stages in America.
