of letter received by gentleman of that
city, from Thomas U. Walter, Esq, the obi

speaks will be particularly gratifying to the

" The ladies have a spacious and elegant
receiving room, and private room approach.
cd only through the receiving room, in each
wing. The private room will be fitted up
with the most approved and permanent wash

This is the seventh, land we think the best, J
OF the uniform series Of Mrs. Southworth's
fascinating romances, published by Mr.. Peter
son. Written at " Prospect Cottage" that
most picturesque locality in the beautiful city
OF Georgetown, they have local claim upon
the readers of the District of Columbia, though
they need no such recommendation to secure
hosts of readers Replete with sentiment and
intense passion, they portray the varied
phases of the human heart in life-l like colors,
and with the shadows as they really exist.
"India" delineates society as it is found in
the southwest The characters are boldly
drawn, the incidents natural, and the action
of the story rapid and absorbing. We advise
all who are fond of an interesting romance to
