rail-road across the mountain to Johnstown is 38-285 By canal to Blairsville, 35-320 Saltzburg, 18-338 Warren, 12-350 Alleghany river, 16-366 PITTSBURG, 28-394 The _Pioneer_ line on this route is exclusively for passengers, and professes to reach Pittsburg in _four_ days--but is sometimes behind several hours. Fare through, $10. Passengers pay for meals. _Leech's line_, called "_the Western Transportation line_," takes both freight and passengers. The packet boats advertise to go through to Pittsburg in _five_ days for $7. Midship and steerage passengers in the transportation line in six and a half days; merchandize delivered in 8 days. Generally, however, there is some delay. Emigrants must not expect to carry more than a small trunk or two on the packet lines. Those who take goods or furniture, and expect to keep with it, had better take the transportation lines with more delay. The price of meals on the boats is about 37-1/2 cents. On all the _steamboats_ on the Western waters, no additional charge is made to cabin passengers for meals,--and the tables are usually profusely supplied. Strict order is observed, and the waiters and officers are attentive. _Steamboat route from Pittsburg to the mouth of Ohio._ Miles.
