located on the cor- ner of Twelfth and Center Streets, in the borough of Ashland, Pa. The

the latest modern conveniences. The bill of fare consists of all the finest delicacies of
the season, served in a manner to please the most fasticious in taste. The dining-room is
large and well ventilated, and will comfortably seat fifty guests. The hotel is the oldest
in the borough, and its present proprietor, Henry Troutman, Edq., has enjoyed the
confidence and patronage of the traveling public for over thirt- een years, and is looked
upon as one of the leading citizens of the borough.
In addition to the many other
attractive features of this excellent hotel, there are three large yards, which are used
for keeping cattle in by the many drovers, the admirable accomodat- ions which they afford
making them very desirable for that class of dealers. In connection with these yards are
very large and and well appointed stables, having a capacity of stabling ninety horses.
