Mr.. JOHN HOLMES, after having ruSticatcd
for several months OIL his farm, has returned 10
! the post OF landlord Of the Hotel at SPRING
Hill, Faycttc county, Pa. on the stage road
between this place and UniOntown. Mr. II.
keeps an orderly house and well furnished
table; md Is located at the right point to ul-
ford dining house to travellers between tho
two towns.
Mr.. HENRY J. kITENOuR, wo learn, has
purchased the stand 80 long md admirably
kept by Mr.. John W. Lynch, at Carmichael
town, Greene county, Pa. This establishment
il well furnished with housc-room, stabling,
and other conycnienccs Tor public accommodate
ton; and from what We have known Of Mr.. h.
in by-gonc years, We arc led to believe that all
the requisites for comfort to tho weary travel
or will be forthcoming at all hours, and that
the house will be kept in the best oriOr Tho
Bar will doubtless be found among the miss
ing.
Dartlctt's iiotcl.--NIr. J. p. BARTLETT,

ed his Hotel, some time since destroyed by
fire. The arrangements Of this house arc pc
cniarly well adapted for public accommodate

lie houses, out Of the large cities, go. thorough
ly provided with means to nee, tho wishes Of
gcntecl travellers, boarlctS, Sc. us Mr.. Bart

III Travellers uro very comfortable enter
tanned by Mr.. p. Z. RANDOLPH, in tho village
OF Salem, Harrison county, ii miles west of
CIarksburg.
IL Mr.. JAMES S. FARSSWoRTIl, on the
Staunion pike, - Miles west Of Weston, Lew
is county, onicrtains travellers in the true Old
Virginia style, ut his beautifully situated and
bountilally furnished mansion. Tho s,ercoty-
ped phrase "TrareierS' Home" often strikes
tho eye OF tho weary wandcrer, only to mock
his hope, but here, although the sign pro-
sen,s no unusual lure, the substance is sure to
DO found. Under no roof Qbrodd have VIC felt
more essentially ut home, and to none would
We return with greater pleasure.
Ths "CALEoRSIA HOUSE," kept by
Mr.. - CREEL, OIL tho Stanton pike, near
tho crossing Of tho road from Harrisvilc, Rit-
chic county, to Elizabeth, Tor Wiz, c. ll.) af:
tords all nccdlul provision for the comfort of
the traveller. Within about mile of this spot
is Mineral Spring, strongly nprosnatcd-a
Salt Well is being sunk TO great dcptl-and
tho Oil Spring Of which VIC gave IN account in
late number Of this paper. This place has
peculiar attractions, and will doubtless become
iavorito resort Of inyalils, and of the curious
who wish to explore the hidden arcana of Ma
ture, and to put to tho best use its curative
resources. We allcge undcrstandingy that
Mrs. c., tho worthy hostess Of the f" Calitor-
Hm," prepares cup of tea, with trimmings,
thu. are positively hard to beat.
IL Mr.. II. OTIS, ut the " Point" near the
steamboat landing, parkersburg, with his con.
vcnicnt house and interesting family, is well
prepared to accommodate both boardcrs and
travellers. Tho fatigue Of long journey was
quickly overcome by tho facilities wo hero Gil
joycd for rcircshmcnt and rest.
| IL In noticing tho above establishments, J,
we do so because thcy dcserre it, md We do
tho keepers and the public service by pass
ing notice Of tho kind. In some of them, II is
true, the Bar is yet visible, but tho prospect
now is, tina, in two or three years at most, IN
enactment similar in its provisions TO the Maine
Liquor Law will bar tho sale and purchase Of
| tho "frc vatcr" as beverage-and enable
US, without compunction, to award tho full
amount Of praise duo to those who keep good
public houses.
