THE ST. Charles is now thoroughly finished

the State Of Mississippi, or probably in the
whole Southern country.
Tt comprises an area of fifty by one hundred
feet, and contains B lard Saloon. two bow
ling Alleys, Restaurant and otner convenient
and necessary fixtures. Especial care will be
observed in furnishing the bar invaribly with
the choicest wines, liquors &c, and the restur-
ant with all the Injuries the market affords.
The secluded location, copacious arrange
ment, and combined advantages of this estab-
lishment, render it eminently desirable and
pleasant resort.
The business will be conducted by the most
competent and gentlemanly men, and no exer-
tion will be omitted calculated to merit gen
eral patronage. February 2, 1858.
