none of those rocky hills, which render the Old

Each paflenger is allowed to take on t4lbs. of

taken on l>y a psficnger, will be charged' at 4

With rtfpedl to packages Tent on without
passengers, the proprietors preface they have
adopted a regulation, which, though fanknewn
to i*her lines of stage*, they think mufl meet
with general,approbation, Theypledge them
feives to make good-every package on the fol
lowing conditions. The perl'on who delivers
the package at the office fh-all fee it entered in
the stage-book, for which entry he (hall pay 6
cents ; he will then slate the value of the pack
age, and pay (exclusive of tha carriage) one per
cent.'on the vjlue, as infurmcr, and for which
lie will receive a receipt. Thus, for instance,
if he estimates his package at one dollar, he will
pay one cent, and it at one hundred collars, he
will pay one dollar insurance, and in like pro
portion for packages of any other value.
Very few perl'ons it is presumed, will dislike
this regulation 1 it will however, he optionable
with every one to avail himfelf of this security
or not. But the proprietors think it right to
Hale very explicitly, that they will be rel'pon
fible for the Tafe delivery of no package, which
is not regularly entered, and si r which an insur
ance raceipt cannot he produced.
In the diflribution of (he route, the greatest
care has bren tiken to fix on such places and ta
verns as always afford a good accommodation
and entertainment for the passengers at the ranft
real'onable rates The ftage9 are well equipped
furnifhed with fleet and fteadyhorfes, and com
mitted to the care of intelligent )tV>er and obli
ging drivers. The proprietors themfclves live
at the different towns an 3 villages whars the
itages will flop, so that the conduct of the per
sons they employ is confinuaJU an objefl of their
attention.—■ They take cara alio :o lee that the
passengers are well provided for and po'itcly
treated at the taverns, and that no fort of chica
nery Or infolenca is praililVd upon them ; in
short, they have fparednsithcrpains nor expencc

The line has now run nearly, a month, dur
ing which time a great number of gentlemen
have gope through, both from Philadelphia and
