The Exchange HOtel.-The new land
lord, Mr.. d. p. OsTERuouT, who has leased
and took possession of the Exchange Hotel
Perrysburg, last week, has now got things
in apple pie order for the accommodation
OF the travelling public. Mr.. o. left the
farm in York State fifteen years ago to en-.
gage in the Hotel business, and with the
exception OF about three years has been en-
gagged in that capacity up to the present
time. With this experience and his genial
disposition lie makes all feel at home who
may tnrry with him. He has re6tted and
reiurnished the House throughout, at CON
siderable expense, with the view Of making
il comfortable aud cheerful for Mi, and has
also put the barn ia good shape for the &C.
cOmmOdaton aud care Fl horses. Mrs. Os-
TERIoUT, M we'll az her husband. seems to
be especially adapted for the position of
landlady, and il is To he hored that they
will receive the necessary encouragement
from our citizens to enable them to keen
the lioiSe in the front rnnk in the list Of
village hotels. The lIo;eI is not unlike the
newspaper, while run by private enterprise
is considered Il species Of public property
and to be conducted for the public benefit.
In some Instances The public get more ben.
eht than the proWie'nrs. Aud there are
always some who think they can conduct
either better than they are conducted.
The retiring landlord, Mr.. CIV. NoRToS.
purchased the hotel property about fifteen
years ago and took possession ut that time.
He kept an excellent house for some wears
following, until hc found his hcaltl, would
not admit OF his close confinement in,lnors,
and after that sought to cmplny himself
outside. lie soon learned that il was like
moSt other business enterprises, required
personal attention to succeed, and rather
than confnc himself and he sick good
portion of the time accepted the first de-
Sirnble offer to ense the Hotel. Mr. NoR-
TON has retired with his family to private
life in II cozy residence on Fifth street, with
the hest wishes nf their many friends for n
happy and quiet life during the remainder
Of their declining wears.
