Kingston, Toronto, Detroit Chicago, Milwaukee, and all points West. Also with
trains on St. Lawrence and Ottawa Railway for Ottawa; and with trains on Rome,
Watertown and Ogdensburgh Railway for Watertown, Rome, and the West; also with
Steamers of Northern Transportation Company, running through from Ogdensburgh to
Cleveland, Toledo, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Chicago, without change, touching at
intermediate ports, thus offering unequaled facilities for parties moving to the
Great West. Also connecting at Ogdensburgh with Lake Ontario Steamers for
Oswego, Charlotte, Lewiston, and Niagara Falls, passing through the far-famed
Thousand Islands of the River St Lawrence, together with the Steamers from
Ogdensburgh to Montreal and Quebec, passing down the Rapids of the St. Lawrence
in their course.

  AT POTSDAM JUNCTION, trains connect with Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburgh
Railway for Potsdam, Canton, Watertown, &c.; also with Stages for Massena Springs.

  AT MOOER'S JUNCTION, trains connect with Pittsburgh and Montreal Railway for
Plattsburgh; thence by Lake Champlain Steamers for Burlington, Ticonderoga, Lake
George, Whitehall, Saratoga, Troy, Albany, &c.; also by rail from Burlington for
East and South.

  AT ROUSE'S POINT, trains connect with Vermont Central Railway for Burlington,
White River Junction, White Mountains, Bellows Falls, Concord, Manchester,
Fitchburg, Lowell, Lawrence, Portland, Boston, Worcester, Springfield, Hartford,
and New York; and via Rutland and Burlington Railway, from Burlington to
Rutland, Bellows Falls, Fitchburg and Boston; and south to Troy, Albany and New
York. Also at Rouse’s Point with trains on Montreal and Champlain Railway for
Montreal, &c.

  The 0. & L. C. Railroad Company having added to their rolling stock 290 new
Sixteen-Wheel Box Cars, and five of the best Locomotives of first class power,
expressly for freighting purposes, stand second to none as regards facility for
transporting local and through freights, at rates lower than by any other
through Line. The direct route from Boston, Portland, and all Eastern Cities,
connecting with the celebrated Northern Transportation Company, with their first
class Daily Line of Propellers, to all points in the Great Western World, gives
to this Line an advantage not possessed by any other, and the fact that only one
trans-shipment is required—namely: from Car to Propeller for a line extending
4.000 miles to the extreme point of "Lake Superior," recommends this Line with
none to compete.

  They have also built at Ogdensburgh a new and spacious Elevator, capable of
storing 1,000,000 bushels of grain, which, with their 800 Freight Cars, 20
Engines, and full equipment of Passenger Cars, affords them unequaled facilities
for doing the freight and passenger business of this portion of the Country.
