DIR HOTELS.

: By reference to our advertising columns some
changes will be perceived in the administration OF
these very important adjuncts to the prosperity OF
our town.
The AMERICAN TEMPERANCE House., lately
under charge of Mr. G. W. Eoardman has passed
into the hands of Mr. g. D. JEwETr. This house
is well located spacious and well arranged. Mr..
Jewett comes highly recommended as landlord and
from what we learn OF him. in his as yet short admin
istraton of the affairs of the American Temperance
House. we have every reason to believe that the
iourner there will lack for attention, comfort
This House is conducted on strict Temperance prn-
ciples. fact which Temperance men should bear
in mind.
TuE MANSION HOUSE, on Main street. in the bu
siness part of the town, lately under the charge Of
Mr.. Osterhout, is now in the hands OF Mr.. N EHLE
This is also spacious and comfortable house, and
as to its landlord no resident of the town need be
told that he has both the disposition and ability
make guests feel themselves comfortable and at
home in his establishment.
Although the fact might not be asccrtained from
our advertising columns, yet it is fact that the
" National has passed from the hands of its late
popular proprietor, Mr. J. r. Parker, into those Of
its less popular owner and original proprietor,
Gen. BULLES. The National is second to no house
in town, as to spac.ousness and convenience, nd,
although little out of the way Of the active busi-
ness those who find their way to it once, are very
apt TO find it again.
Last, though by no means least, the City Hotel,
on Main street. in the centre Of business remains
without change of head, fact which those &C.
quainted with its landlord, Mr.. Bush, will be glad
to learn. This is popular establishment and so
generally known that it needs but little notice at
our hands.
We have oaher hotels with which we are not SO
well acquainted but where we doubt not the soiour
ncr will find himself well cared for; and in conclu
sion, we may say with truth, that the cmigrant
the man OF business pleasure visiting u.s. will be
at no loss for comfortable quarters and all necessa
| ry attention.

Seriously, Notwithstanding the attempts of a few

GENTLY unite the wing party to be candidate for
the Presidency. We see however, no reason for the
Democratic party to object to or fear such nomi-

is no danger as to the next Presidency
