FLE-M'S A^EWS OF OLD PITToBUEGH. 
 
 FOREWORD .VND AXXOUKCEMKXT. 
 
 £^■1X1/1 ITITIN tile enclosed jwgcs will be found 
 some of the Mews of Old Pittsburgh, 
 which the compiler has been collecting for 
 the past five years. ]\ran\- familiar pictures tlo not 
 appear, some of which undoubtedly deserve a place. 
 One box of plates mislaid in storage was foimd 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 the)' were in session, were 
 unanimously in favor of ''the other fellow." It is 
 apparent that the Tittsburgh of our fathers and even 
 of our youth, e\-en the l-*ittsburgh of a score of years 
 ago, is not the Tittsburgh of to-day. The designer and 
 compiler hereof desires to show this generation and 
 I osteritv what old rillsburgh looked like. [Many scenes 
 will recall bright and sunny days in the erstwhile 
 ■•Smoky City"— I'lTTSBURGII TFIE FAMOUS. 
 
 To-day the I beams of the Bessemer age pierce 
 the sky wdiere 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. W'e can preset i-'e only what has been left in 
 
 picture form. Commerce is without sentiment and 
 Progress turns its back on history. 
 
 vMirely this small collection will a])peal to Pitts- 
 burghers wherever the_\' may lie. 'J'he price of it 
 hardly covers the cost of printing- and paper. It is 
 l.)ut forth now in these sesqui-centennial times as an 
 advfrtisemeiit for a beautiful and much larger edition 
 of "Flem's X'iews of Hid Pittsburgh," for the library 
 table, a subscription work- now in preparation at $ro.oo 
 per ifolume, wdiich will probabl)- be ready within the 
 nex.. twelve months. Correspondence and interviews 
 are requested wdth an)- interested in s-.ich a publica- 
 tion, both as to matter and patronage. 
 
 I'he 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. Air. David Idomer 
 Paves has also very kindly permilted the use of the 
 Carnegie boys' portraits. Air. Wm. 0. Johnston and 
 others have been drawn on and are worthy of mention 
 for their kindness. 
 
 In conclusion the undersignei:! hopes for a cordial 
 and remunerative reception by Pittsburgh people for 
 what is distinctivel)' a Pittsburgh book.

 it jieccssary'and prCipfer to give to the public, in

 our office, it seemed not difiicult to infer action in [ 
 - accordance witli the spirit made manifest. It is 
 thcreforq to be promptly taken here, and perhaps 
 it would he as ^vell to suggest at once the recom- 
 mendation by the .Mayor; of a general meeting of

 desolating conflagrations known to the history of 
 our country; and wIutols, it becomcsu.'S to regard 
 this occurrence with special attention, as it has 
 fallen out at our own doors and most deeply con- 
 cerns us, and those with whom as fellow-citizens

 ■ ■• ent at three different 
 
 " poirits^bn the route. Uareliil ai.^, v..-vj,wieneed Captains and 
 crews are employed, who occornpany 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.

 ODD FELLOWS REGISTER, 
 
 Owin- to some informality in the election, this district is without a District 
 Deputy Grand Master, consequently no name can be given-neither are the Lodge 
 Officers he given, as the elections will take place in a few days after the issue ot 
 this book, and a large proportion of those now holding office will be changed.
