The Hoffman House, OF New York
CIty-A Model Hotel.

II Is generally conceded by travellers that no
country in the world, furnishes such excellent
hotels as are to be found In the United States.
1t is also true, probably that no city In the Union
excels New York In that respect, and there Is no
doubt for what everybody says must bo true
that the HOFFMAN HOUSE,, corner Of Broadway
and Twenty fifth street, stands at the head Of the
first class hotels Of that city. It Is not the largest
by any means szeis no criterion for perfection In
u hotel, any more than In ship, d man, or n wo-
man. The great ug iron hulk Of the Great Eastern
would not survive moment before one OF our
compact littlo monitors Tho most precious goods
are frequently found in the smallest packages.
There Is sweeter and finer meat In q quail or a
woodcock than In a goose, turkey, or an ele-
phantI Cleaner rooms and sweeter beds are Of
tener found In aeat little cottage than In clumsy
"model house. :" Cultivated flowers in small
beds are more symmetrical, better developed
more vigorous, fragrant, and beautiful than those
that grow in acre lots among the weeds. Atrout
Is better than whale for eating. little black
tan tarrier or white curly poodle Is pretter than
great ugly fighting bull or village cur dog. A
coupe or barouche is more comfortable to ride In
than an omnibus or a stage coach. A big man
was never known to select woman, for a wife,
Of his oton size. He always oulls from among
the most delicate beauties Of the earth some
bright.eyed, dImpled cheek, curly headed little
creature. To his eye she is more compact and
lovely, and less coarse and expensive to Glothe !
So with hotels Of about the size Of tho HoPF-
MAN. II is much in little. II Is ingeniously con
triyed, in the arrangement Of the rooms, to ac-
oommodate large or small party according to
the generosity Of their feelings and the size Of
their purse. Guests OF the house can make their
bills large or small, as they choose. Perfect
cleanliness Is observed throughout. The atten =
tion Of porters and servants is excellent The
bill Of fare is the most thorough, in every par
ticular, to be found In New York, many OF the old
patrons Of Delmonico having been attracted by it,
and are now the constant guests Of the HOFFMAN
The carriages, horses, and harnesses belonging
to the HoEPMANare new and elegant, being equal
to the average Of private "teams" that flourish
daily at Central Park. The proprietors and
clerks Of the house constant In their efforts L
make the guests feel "at home, and we think
they are very successful. We advise our read.
ers, when they 90 to Now York, to stop at the
HOFFMAN,, and our word for 1t they will repea
the visit when they go again to that city. Th'
HOFFMAN furnishes the best possible evidence
that Messrs. MITCHELL, READ 4 WALL "can keel

Tn. New Postmaster Of e.orsstown.

The New Postmaster OF Georgetown.
The appointment Of Mr. GroReE HrLL, ,Jr,
postmaster Of Georgetown win he hailed with
the greatest satisfaction by that portion Of the
community who have sympathized heartily
with our Government all through the terrible
struggle Of the last four years. He has been
identified for many years with the interests
Of the ancient and honorable municipality Of
Georgetown, and has by his consistent,
straightforward course in the path of loyalty,
endenred himself in an especial manner to
those who were, in the dark hours Of the re.
bellion, doing all in their power to strengthen
the hands Of the Government. He was sup
ported for the mayoralty at tho election in
February last by the Union League and II,
friends against Mr.. ADDISON, who (haying
stated in public speech that he was opposed
to all secret political organizations) was sup.
ported by the enemies Of the League.
This appointment is an endorsement Of Mr..
HILL and the party which so heartily worked
for his election as Mayor last winter Hi
qualifications for the duties Of his Office are
unquestionable, and tho good citizens oi
Georgetown win find no cause to regret hi,
appointment.

THE BURNING OF BARsUN's MUSEUM
New York was suffering terribly for want of
a sensation, but on Thursday the fre-fend
came to their relief, and destroyed BARsuN's
Museum, and made an ugly gap in Broadway
at that point. The afternoon papers of that
day, while the fire was burning, gave extern
sive and graphic descriptions Of the scene,
but the morning journals out-did them alto
gether. The morning journalists, having
more time for writing up'' the affair, rioted
in the sensational business, Qor it is a bust,

by the excursionists yesterday were General

DIsrISGUIsHEb ARRIvAL,-Major General
Philip Sheridan arrived yesterday from New
Orleans, on board the steamer Heroine. As
military man, General Sheridan has earned
undying fame. He Is one Of the few Generals
the late war brought forward who has never
met with defeat. It Is said that the General
unites to the accomplishments Of soldier
the courtesy Of gentleman.
The fate of Texas rests, to great extent,
with General Sheridan. We hope that he
may be as great q pacifcator as he has
proved himself warrior.

ExcITED.-The rebel conspirators and their
friends in Toronto, Canada, were terribly ex-
cited over the news Of tho execution of Mrs
surratt. They vented their feelings by wear
ing Grape on their arms, singing secession
songs, threatening President johnson with
awful retribution, and playing the lunatics
generally. If any doubt has heretofore ex.
isted as to that wOman's guilt, 1t is removed
by the conduct Of these wretches. 1t is not
thize with anybody except the most OBJ
durately depraved. The fact that they cor
sidered Mrs Surratt their friend, proves that
she was all that was charged against her.
