In response to many anxious inquiries
where to spend the summer, we print the
following announcements from gentlemen
eminent in the hotel and summer boarding
business:
HIGHPRICE HOUSE.
GREENBACK FALLS, N. Y, ovERCHARGE,
sTICHEM & CO., Proprietors.
The proprietors of this palatial hotel,
unequalled on the American continent for
its enormous charges and inferior accom-
modations, respectfully announce that the
house is now open for the discomfort and
inconvenience of guests. The house has
been reftted and renovated throughout,
on the Canal street plan, (cheap and
nasty.) The back yard has been en-
closed by a new pine fence, elegantly fres-
coed in whitewash, by the eminent artists
in lime, Daub, Smearwell & Co., and a
large and imposing wood pile has been
built in the Northeast corner, from plans
furnished by the distinguished architect,
Mikell Rifle, Esq.
A few and cOmmodious pen has also
been added directly under the rear WIN
dows Of the hotel, and furnished with
full chorus Of strong-lunged, shrill-yoiced
swine, who will be fed and stirred up daily
from 5 to 7 a. m. There is the strongest
evidence already in the rear apartments
that this department will be highly sue
cessful.
Every sleeping room in the house is fur
nished with wash bowl, pitcher, and a
bottle of poison clean towel every Mon
| day morning. Gentlemen may ring for
what they want, and the proprietors hope
they may get it.
Gents desiring seats at the table can
easily obtain them by properly feeling the
head waiter, Cheekey Bride, Esq.
The Office clerks have been selected
from the brightest ornaments of that bril-
liant profession, they will be clad in the
most expensive garments and gorgeous
shirt fronts. The BARRIERS shop will be
reserved from 9 to II a. m. for their ex-
elusive use and their clusCer-diamond
breastpins are warranted to be superior in
size to those of any niger minstrel in the
country.
These creatures are each provided with
a pair of trotting horses, a terrier dog and
gold watch, have long and valuable ex-
perience in Billiard faro and draw poker
and any gentleman who has the stamps
can be accommodated to a little game at
short notice. If they are not otherwise
engaged in the billiard or bar room, tray
elers will find one of these gentlemen in
in the Office, who will not pay the least
attention to their presence for half an hour
after arrival, at which time he may con-
descend to direct them to the wash-rOom,
and tell them he will see what he can dc
for them in the way of cot in the bowl
ing-alley, all the best rooms in the house
being reserved for sporting men and bar
keepers.
A body of muscular baggage-smashers
will be present on the arrival of the trains,
and any gentleman getting his trunk to
the hotel, whole, will please to notify the
propretors, who would also call attention
to the hackmen connected with the house
who cannot be equalled by any other body
of blackguards North of the New York
Common Council. Every driver is pro
vided with brass knuckles, slung shot
and choice assortment of oaths, with which
he will speedily convince any passenger
of his error who may be unwilling to sub,
NIT to eXtortlOn.
Guests receiving any attention from the
employees of the house will please notify
the proprietors.
Hard listed porters will wake up the
whole floor, when any gentleman wishes
to leave by the early train.
