Show New Enterprise. Yesterday Mr. Joseph M. Hammer, of the post office took us through the building he has lately rented and fitted up as a private boarding house. It is the first house south of the City Hall corner, opposite the wood and hay market, and includes the former large dwelling house and the addition made to it some time since with an end front facing the street. We had no idea before going through it that the place was so capacious. The rooms are comfortable, airy and well furnished. Chief J ustice McKean and Jndge Hawley have secured apartments, apart-ments, which are being fitted up for them very handsomely; and the selection selec-tion of boarders promises to be of the like respectable character. The con-veniencies con-veniencies of communication in the building are not the least noticeable features, which will give every room prompt attendance and reduce the labor of the "help." The dining room is a quiet, cosy place, just such a one as people want to sit down in to engage in gastronomic exercises. Mr. Hammer has displayed considerable taste in fitting up, and there is no doubt his establishment will be well patronized. He is gentlemanly and obliging, and his lady is equally attentive, at-tentive, courteous and kind. |
