If any of our many readers should
happen to visit Philadelphia either on
business or pleasure, a %sojourn at the
Colonnade Hetel," at the corner of
Fifteenth and Chestnut, will make him
about as happy and contented as he DOS
slbly can be away from Baltimore. There
is an amount of real comfort, as well az
elegance, about all the appointments of
this admirably-conducted establishment
rarely met with in an American hostelry.
Without attempting to particularize any
of its special merits, it is enough to say
that everything is in perfect order, that
nothing is wanting to make oue alto
getheF comfortable, and that an unusual
quantity OF courtesy and good manners
marks the conduct If all the attaches.
Mr.. d. j. Crump, who has entire charge
