AND.-HAvANA December Is, lS4l.-lt has long
been matter of regret to the inhabitants OF this city,
that the arrival Of nvalds from the United States
with letters of introduction, II 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 they are compelled to so to
places in the country where adequate preparations
have been made for receiving them, and where the
apartments, accommodations, and manner OF living,
are in no wise calculated for persons in delicate
state OF health.
From due consideration of this want, and OF the
great benefit that would be derived by invalds who
seek to regain that health in the mild and benefcent
climate of Cuba, if a suitable abode should be pro-
yded for them, the subscriber, medical practitioner
long established in this city, has appropriated ms
beautiful coffee estate called the Buena Eperan:a,
situated in the most healthy and romantic part OF the
country so as to form residence equally agreeable
and attractive. In order to carry out this intention
to the fullest extent that professional knowledge and
long experience of the effects OF tropical climates
could attain no pains have been spared to form an
establishment which affords to the invalid, as well as
to the healthy vsiter, every rational enjoyment that
can be derived from dwelling in the midest climate,
surrounded by the most picturesque vegetation The
grounds, laid out in the beautiful style OF coffee es-
Eeranza is situated on the south side of the island,
and is thus, in great measure, sheltered from the
chilly winds which and then blow from the north
during the winter months The district in which 1t
lies has been, from its extreme beauty, termed the
Windsor of Cuba. The house has been built with
every attention to those comforts Indispensable to
invalids and of which the buildings OF this country
are so destitute All the rooms have boarded floors
and glass windows. The establishment is on the
footing of that of private family, of which the guests
