Gus prosperity is about us.

mighty Ged. mn ~

The chambers House" at Peru, was built
some ten years ago. and intended, like tho Clifto
Hotel at Ottawa, to furnish first class hotel &C.
commodations for that city for dozen of years
to come. But somehow the Chambers, though \
splendid building, was never a success. Firstly,
its location was bad, away up on the hill, quite
distant from the business center; and secondly,
it was never too well kept. The end of it is,
that the Furniture is now being sold at auction,
and the building, for ought appears, may be turn
ed into machine shop.
