NATIONAL HOUSE, old well-estab-
lished and favoritc hotel, second probably
to none in the interior, will continue in
charge of Mr.. S. Aultz during the ensu-
ing year. Its general arrangements are
such as to afford comfortable quarters for
boarders and temporary sojourners, and its
table daily supplied with all the delicacies
luxuries, and substantial food the markets
afford. Those who once take up lodgings
at this establishment, seldom fail to call
again when on visit to Lewistown, as it
becomes evident to the most casual obser-
yer that it partakes of that class in which,
from the principal down to the ordinary
servant, there is every desire to make the
stay of visitors agreeable
BS5@ Farmers and others who desire Fruit
Trees are requested to call on Warner &
Butts, Lewistown, who will warrant every
