There are many suits among them opening

large transonls, and are abundantly lighted
and ventilated. The guests in this fine
hotel will never be uncomfortable from heat

than they will have who lodge in the Pey-

The architectural style Of the building is
admirable, and very creditable to the archi-
tect, j. c. Neilson,y OF Baltimore. West &
Carroll, Of Baltimore, are the builders, and
T. w. Garrison, OF Baltimore, plasterer. I
mention him because the plastering is a job
Of such artistic merit that think he de-
serves this notice. :,zi .@i!.3.,:.:s -fti
The timber OF the building is all perfectly
seasoned-thc floors are Us firm as il based
on granite. That obtained in the neighbor-
hood was sawed at the mill OF Mfr. g. g..
Peterkin, and has had two years to season.
The heavy timbers, such as sleepers and the
flooring came from Georgia and
North Carolina, and is mostly heart-pine.
The building viii be ready for occupation
on the 1st July, and will constitute the most
agreeable and convenient hotel yet built in
the mountains OF the Virginias. It is cspa-
bic of accommodating 260 guests. The
finishing will be OF the best style. a beau
tiful kind of mantel-piece will adorn the
most public rooms. The electric telegraph
will be used for communicating with the
rooms. As I,said, there is water, gas, and
other conyeniences, on every floor.
We are sure
f.. THE GREAT MULTITUDE
which annually throng the White Sulphur
the Queen of Fountains-the socio-political
congress of the nation-will be more than
gratified to find this fine hotel when they
arrive here. 1t is especially happy and
"timeous !" this centennial year, when the
travelling multitude will probably be greater
than at any former year in our history.
Mr.. Peyton has certainly shown n great
deal Of enterprise in taking hold Of the pro-
rapidity-rapidity, too, without sighting
the work in any manner. 1t is faithfully
and admirably built house. 49, -..... Ii.
The prospects OF brilliant season are
fine. Letters daily received by the proprie-
tor show that people are coming from all
Notwithstanding not only the well-known
habitufs Of the White, but many new names
from new localities-i. e., new to the White.
To-day am gratitied to learn that Mr.. Cor
coran, of Washington, man not only dear
to us all, but one who is esteemed and re-
vered wherever virtue and honor are held
in resDect will be one Of the guests OF the
White this summer. His venerable form is
so familiar with the paths of the White Sui
phur lawn in summer that there would be
sad vacancy in the scene were he detained
from it now. ~..
Tomorrow, by announcement, the season
here commences, and we may look fol
guests" stragglers like' at first, but in
battalionS after awhile. VAL.
