It is to he loca ted about three blocks further from the depit tliau the old, on the same street and on an elevation which will insure magnificent views of the sur rounding country in every direction. The spot seems by nature formed for this purpose, being the most sui tably' adapted to a house of this kind it has ever been my pleasure to behold. The same genial, accom modating Mr. Whitlock, who ran the old house, will operate the new. To say this is to say that a successful career for it is assured. It is my pleasure each minute to come in con tact-with many wlio have taken shel ter with Mr. W., and in no single instance have they (lone otherwise than sing his praises.
