Fare for paflengers, Five Dollars*
Way paflengers 6 Cents per Mile.
Each pafleuger it alJowed to take on t 4 lb«. of
baggage cirriagc fret ; but all other baggage,
taken on by a paflenger, wiii be charged at 4
cents per pound weight. •
With refpecl to packages sent on without
paflengers, the proprietors presume they have
adopted a regulation, which, though unknewn
to^ other lines of stages, they think must meet
with general approbatio-n, They pledge them
selves to make good every package on the fol
lowing condition!. The person who delivers
the package at the office fh«U fee it entered in
the stage-book, for which sntry he flyil pay 6
cent* ; he will then state the value of the pack
age,and pay (exclusive of the carriage) ane per
cent, on the value, a* infurancr, and for which
he will receive a receipt. Thus, for instance,
if he estimates his package it one dollar, he wilt
pay one Cent, and if at one hundred dollars, he
will pay one dollar infuraace, and in like pro
portion for packages of any other value.
Very few persons it is presumed, will dislike
this regulation ( it will however, he optionable
with every one to avail himfelf of this fecuritf.
or not. But the proprietors think it right to
state my explicitly, that they will be respon
sible for the fate delivery of 110 package, which
is not regularly entered, and for which an insur
ance receipt ccnr.ot be produced.
In the distribution of the route, the greatest
care has bren taken to fix 011 such places and ta
verns as always atTurd a good accommodation
asd entertainment for the paflengers at the most
readable rates The ffages are well equipped
furniliied with fleet and f'eadyhorfes, and com
mitted to (he tfare > f intelligent sober and obli
ging drivers. The p-oprietors themselves live
at the different town and villages where the
liages wiii ftop,io that the conduct of the per
sons they employ is csntimi-H) an objcfl of their
attention —'i hey take care also in fee that the
paflengers are well provided for and politely
treated at the taverns, and that no fort of chica
nery or insolence is prailifed upon them ; in
(hort, they havefpared neithirpaiiunor expenee
to render the SWIFT-SURE the very belt line
of stages in America.
'I he line has now run nearly a month, dur
ing which time a great number of gentlemen
have gone through, both from Philadelphia asd
New-York. Every paflenger has found the
road tofurpafs very far all that has been laid or
its excellence ; and the Proprietors of the owitt
Sure are extremely happy to hear the uehaviau
of their drivers, and the treatment at Tavetnsr
l'poke* of with ttie highest fatisfaaion.
