The Tepfer House, Keokuk.—On our way to Athens last Sunday, we were induced to stop over night at the Tepfer House, on the corner of Third and Johnson streets. Mr. J. H. Tepfer, formerly of the "Deming,” is the gentlemanly proprietor. This is probably the largest and finest hotel building on the river above St. Louis. It occupies over a half block, and is five tall stories high. It is fitted up with all the modern improvements, and furnished on a grand and magnificient scale, which makes it rank among the foremost hotels in the country. The rooms are large, high ceilings, well lighted and ventilated while their furniture and beds is all that could be desired for health and comfort. The table is as good as it is possible to make it, and it could not well be better, for it is supplied with everything the market affords. Mr. Tepfer spares neither pains nor money in making it the delight both of the resident and the traveling public. Remember the Tepfer House, when you go to Keokuk.—Lagrange American.
