THE BROAD STREET RETREAT.-There is nothing
more refreshing than familiar land mark foot
print in the sands Of time, which at once dispels
all doubts and causes ths stranger TO feel at home,
and the weary to be at rest. Such a spot can be
found at the corner Of Broad and Church streets,
in the establishment presided over BY Messrs.
HARM & SHERHAMMER.
This refectory is the Mecca of many of tho loga
and financial minds on Broad street, who arc wont
at the witching hours Of twelve to repair to that
inviting retreat and discuss the feast OF good
things that is always provided. Mcssrs. HARM u
SHERHAM,rER understand how to keep hotel, and
they present attractions that irresistible and
cause their guests to yield themselves willing cap
tiyes. A FREQ lunch has now become popular in
stituton, and is paronized by every one; but that
to be obtained at the corner of Church and Broad
is always prepared skilfully and taken willingly,
and we commend all hungry or thirsty parties to
visit that corner, and they will fad that tho half
has not been said.

that time tho Church was filed. with an audience
composed principally Of the business men of tho
city, who had been associated with Mr.. CALDWELL

the hymn, 'sHow blessed the righteous when they
die,n which was followed by discourse from the
Pastor, the Rev. DR.. DANA. He spoke OF tho
Christian character Of tho deceased, lis business
tact and integrity, and referred to the many'vir-
tues that had always adorned his walk and conver-

this amount.
