been matter of regret to the inhabitants oil TINS city
that on the arrival of nvads from the United States
with letters of introduction it has never been in their
power TO recommend them suitable residence in
the country. Ii has therefore been necessary for
such persons, either to take up their abode in the
hotels In town, where the noise and hustle of crowd
ed city, and the want of the pure atmosphere and
calm retirement of country life, prevent their de-
irving that benefit from the change of climate which
they naturally expect, or they compelled to go to
places the country where no adequate pre- Paratois
have been made for receiving them, and where the
apartments accommodations, and manner OF llvhg,
III no wise calculated lor persons III d uoi0a'o
