SVw^ITHIN the enclosed pages will be found some of the Views of Old Pittsburgh, which the compiler has been collecting for the past five years. Many familiar pictures do not appear, some of which undoubtedly deserve a place. One box of plates mislaid in" storage was found too late for placing in this work in the short time in which the work was rearranged after having been cut down from a larger paged book. An effort was made to obtain official recognition for the book from the authorities in charge of the celebration, but the committee having the matter in hand, in the few minutes they were in session, were unanimously in favor of "the other fellow." It is apparent that the Pittsburgh of our fathers and even of our youth, even the, Pittsburgh of a score of years ago, is not the Pittsburgh of to-day. The designer and compiler hereof desires to show this generation and 1 osterity what old Pittsburgh looked like. Many scenes will recall bright and sunny days in the erstwhile ■•Smoky City'-— PITTSBURGH THE FAMOUS. To-day the I beams of the Bessemer age pierce the sky where once lay in dense masses those clouds of smoke which were our trademark and our pride. With a single exception, historical landmarks here are extinct. We can presei i^e only what has been left in picture form. Commerce is without sentiment and Progress turns its back on history. v-jurely this small collection will appeal to Pitts- burghers wherever the}- may be. The price of it hardly covers the cost of printing and paper. It is put forth now in these sesqui-centennial times as an advertisement for a beautiful and much larger edition of "Flem's Views of (Jld Pittsburgh," for the library table, a subscription work now in preparatii-)n at $10.00 per volume, which will probably be ready within the nex.. twelve months. Correspondence and interviews are rec|uested with any interested in s'ach a publica- tion, both as to matter and patronage. The compiler desires to thank the Historical So- ciety of Pennsylvania for the use of the copyright pic- ture of Wm. Penn, the original painting having come to them from the Penn family. Mr. David Plomer Bates has also very kindly permitted the use of the Carnegie boys' portraits. Mr. Wm. G. Johnston and others have been drawn on and are worthy of mention for their kindness. In conclusion the undersigned hopes for a cordial and remunerative reception by Pittsburgh people for what is distinctively a Pittsburgh book. GEORGE T. FLEMING, A. M. "Flem."

Resolved that the Farmers, Millers, and Agricullurists of the surrounding country, be requested to send to the Mayor of Pittsburgh, such donalioiis ofprovisions or money as they may feel disposed iQ^ive towards the aUeviatiou ofthesulVerers. On motion, Resolved that lllc above committee be enabled to appoint sub commitlees to visit them to put into execution such measures as may be i adjiptcd to carry out the object of the meeting. 1 The old Court House was then fixed upon as a depot at which the Mayor should receive th» tlqi-' nations of our fellow-citizens from the country.

This improvement secures to Merchants important advanta- ges, as goods placed in tire Boats at one point, are never remo- ved until tliey reacli tlie warehouse at the other. Thus dispen- sing with the risk and d'clay of transhipment at three different points on the route. Careful and experienced Captains and crews are employed, who occompany the boats the whole dis- tance. The Boats are built in sections, which are seperated on their arrival at the Portage and Columbia Rail Roads, transferred from the water upon Cars to the road, and continue their course by the agency of steam power. Owing to the peculiar construction of the Boats, the risk of damage to goods is but trifling, as it is impossible to injure more than one section at any one time; and their light draught enables them to perform their trips in from three to four days less than by any other mode. The company solicit a continuance of the increasing patron- age they have experienced for the past two years, and their friends may depend upon their business being done upon as fair and liberal terms as by any other line. Goods consigned to either of the following houses will be despatched without delay, and all freights and charges paid when required. FOOT BEIDGE OVER THE CANAL.
