As Ati.noKD Attempt to Defraud thb Rrvb
wtrit. A oase of an alleged defrauding of the
Kevenuecame up this noon before United Htatos
Commissioner Illbler. The defendants were
Jaa. DoRorjre, Frank Adam, and E. O. Clarke.
"The first witness called was Mr. Amos J. Mioh
cner, who affirmed as follows:
I am a United States Inspector: I visited the place of
these defendants; Leg-orse la established at No, lift H.
AVater street; he is rectifier and wholesale and retail
dealer In liquors; Adam' place Is at No. 129 In the
same street: he in engaged in the same business; I
lulled these planes on Thursday evening at 6 o'clock:
1 went In company with the olllcera; I wont to Adams'
flace flrst, and saw bolb the defendant there; 1 went
nlo Adams' place and saw Mr. Clarke In the act of
passing checks for the oaymeni or whisky; theamount
of (he checks were one lor tiasO'40, which he held In
bis hand, payable to the order or K. U Clarke; the
other was for 67: 1 asked what the checks were
for. and they answered It ws for whisky purchased;
Adams aalri it was sold at 2-45 and DeKorge at f 2 t
the name of Willinm 11. Grover was signed to both
the check; I Inquired lor the key of Adams' ware
house, and lie said the drat'iuan bad it: Devonce said
be bad fold six barrel; u these were t roof snlnis (be
lowest price tnev con d he sold at would he f2iKiper
gallon; at i he price of :?") the six barrels would be
valued at ii7. whereas thechecK for said sale was
but $v3 07!,; Mr. D, gorge had not the book required
by law; on the salenuook ol Degorge there was an
entry or a a'e of six barrels ol whisky or 2l8galloui,
Wblcb at r25 would amount to 1547.
Mr. Adams sulci that he bad sold sixteen barrels the
flay before, but the sale was cancelled the day pre
ceedlng on account of some misunderstanding with
Mr. Clarke: there were ."2 gallons, which would make
a cost of over 9uo; be had not the books showing pur
chases, sales, shipments, etc., required by law; the
real amount, or the lowest price at which this liquor
could be sold, would call for about 1700 over and above
what the check for said sale called for; all that I saw
Clark do was the passing of the checks.
Mr. Trellis sworn I am a Deputy United States
Marshal; went with Mr. M., and aided In the arrest
of these parties at Mr. Adams' store. The testimony
o' Mr. Trelltn was corroborative of the preceding.
The rase was continued over until Monday, each of
the parlies bting held In iiw ball.
Larceny op a Watch. Last evening Charles
Fmlth, a young man. In company with some
friends, stepped Into Lewis sjchaeflor's saloon,
at No. 812 North Thirteenth street. Whin the
others were engaged la familiar conversation
'With the keeper, Hmith, on some pretext, went
out and soon relumed. Again be went oat, as
it was Mippoeed In the yard, but it is alleged
that the lady of the bouse saw him up-slalrs.
Nothing was said. Bmith came down, and,
B'anding close to one of his acquaintances,
slipped a silver watch silly into the latter's
pocket. When they left, this person put his
band Into bis pocket, brought forth the watch,
and. banding it to Smith, said, "This is not my
watch: if you are a thief, 1 am not." Smith
took the watch and said nothing. The loss was
discovered, and late last night the officers pro
ceeded to smith's residence. No. 1211 Ogden
street, and attempting to arrest Smith the
younger, he was beset by all the other Smiths
belonging to the household. Smith, Sr., and
Bmith, Jr., were Anally taken Into custody, and,
at a bearing before Alderman Massey, Charles
was held in f 1000 bail. William, the father, for
Interfering with an officer in the discharge of
bis duty, was held In 9600 ball to appear at
Court.
Thr Morality of Odb City. Our readers
have doubtless observed bv the presentment of
the Grand Jury for the April term, a marked
decrease of crime. This Is due, in a great
measure, to the severity of the Judges in pun
ishing offenders, and to the watchfulness of
the:pollce. There are 334 cases less this term
than there were for the corresponding term of
1808. Occasionally there is a terrible crime that
.startles the community by its horrible details,
such as the case of Mrs, Magilton; but the cases
of assault and battery, burglary, and fraud, to
which we bad almost become accustomed, seem
to bave ceased, and those who committed such
deeds have at last learned goodness.
Our police reporter, in making bis usual
rounds this morning, met with no case worse
than drunkenness. The citizens ot Philadel
phia bave cause to congratulate themselves on J
the Improved state of the morality of this city, 1
especially as me population is increasing witu
rapid strides; and It is but natural to suppose
that crime would keep pace with It.
Somb Troublb with a Paiittbb. A good
German citizen, who resides at Beach street
and Laurel, surveyed the outer and inner
appearance of bis domicile, and ooncluded that
an application of paint would do it no barm.
So a day or two since be employed Daniel
O'Conneil. a master of the brash, to transform
bis residence. Now, it is alleged that Daniel
went to work Inside, and soon numerous pla
cards marked "paint" gave evidence that the
transformation was going on. Yesterday after
noon it was discovered, as given in evidence,
that wiih the metamorphosis a transfer was
made irom the bureau drawer to the painter's
pocket of articles such as finger and earrings,
breastpins, and five dollars In money. Officer
Cave was informed, and after a chase of five
sqnarts held on to the painter, and took bint
before Alderman Massey, who committed him
to answer. '
Resigned A Substantial Testimonial.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. G. B. Stockdale, who
for so long a time past seventeen years has
been the Principal of the Madison Boys' Gram
mar School, resigned bis position. The school
room was filled with scholars, who were warmly
attached to their teaoher, who now was about
to sunder the official tie-which bound him to
the school, but not that of friendship and love,
which would be ever cherished. A testimonial,
In the substantial shape of a set of silverware,
was presented by the pupils, to which the
teachers added a beautiful silver pitcher and
salver. Addresses were made and attentively
listened to. Mr. Stockdale resigns his position
to assume the duties incumbent upon him, he
being appointed First Deputy in the Collector's
Olllce, of the First District, by Mr. Charles
Abell. ,

as a substantial evidence of their appreciation
of bis efforts on frequent occasions where the

proclamation by the president !
By virtue of authority vested in me by tbe
Constitution of tbe United States, I hereby de
clare and order tbat all that part of the North
American Continent situated north of the 60th
parallel of north latitude, heretofore known la
our school geographies as the "Russian Posses
sions in' North America," now known as "A
big thing on ice," shall not interfere with tbe
rights of other States by Intruding lis local
peculiarities Into their territory without the
Invitation or consent of such States. Complaint
Is made by many of the Middle States, particu
larly those whose chief products are peaches
and strawberries, that an unnecessary and un
warrantable series of "frosts" and "cold snaps"
have been thrust upon them ever since tbat
territory of Icebergs has been reckoned In the
Union. And notwithstanding that efforts bave
been made by many, including the celebrated
Clotblers, Charles Stokes A Co., under the Con
tinental Hotel, Philadelphia, to reader the
citizens of the said Middle States warm and
comfortable, by providing suitable and cheap
clothing, it Is understood many are still unpro
vided for I therefore order tbat all persons shall
thus provide themselves with suitable clothing
from that House within thirty days from the
date of this proclamation.

OFFICE OF TH
frKVt York. May 3, 1867. )
A notice to the public headed "A Combination or
Manufacturers," has recently appeared, in which
certain tartlea, claiming to be wholesale dealers In
Paper Collars, Cutfs. etc., bave eertalily dealt In
wholesale abuse of this Comj any, lu patents, and its
dealings with the trade and tbe public.
yThe respectability of many ot the parties whose
names are attached to that document entitles It to
notice, because it Is apparent that they at least have
been misled into signing it without a knowledge of tbe
truth or falsity of lis statements.
A brief statement of facts as to the suits brougbt by
this Company and their present condition will readily
dispose of tbe chief allegation, via., tbat we are at
tempting to enforce by threats patents which we do
Dot dare to enforce by process ol lawC '
Under advice of our counsel, we brought at an early
period three "ulli, one In each ot tbe three principal
"atern c.tu . For tbe suit lo Boutin, we selected as
use of Charles Welt A Co., as repre-
- . . 'V. H. Ward, of New York. That suit
was dixpoaed of by the defendants submitting to a
perpetual Injunction, and a decree against them has
been entered accordingly.
In New York we brought eur suit against tbe bouse
of J. R. Blossom A Co., said Mr. Blossom being Pre-
sldentoftbe so-called "Tbe Paper Collar Manufac
turers' Association" of New York. Vo this suit two
styles of defense bave been adopted the one being
an attack upon the character of our corporation,
wblcb certaialy is not likely to test the validity of
our patents, and tbe other an answer to our bill in
equity, of so vague and general a character that our
counsel bas been obliged to apply to bave it striken
off or no amended as to give as some information as
to the defense really Intended to be made under It.
Our third case, brougbt in Philadelphia, la against
Cornelius Van Densen, Henry Boehmer, and John
Van Deusen, trading as the firm of Van Densen.
Boehmer 4 Co., who are agents ot the Keystone
Paper Collar Company, so-called.
In this suit tbe only defense taken by Honry
Boebmer and Jobn Van Deusen was a plea, "tbat tbe
said Cornelius Van Deusen Is not nor bas be been,
since tbe first day of January, 1668, a member of tbe
said firm of Van Deusen, Boebmer A Co., nor In any
wise connected In business with these defendants: but
that Isaac Van Deusen, of tbe city of Philadelphia,
and a citlsen of tbe State of Pennsylvania, Is and bas
been, ever since tbe flrst day of January, 1866, a mem
ber of tbe said firm of Van Deusen, Boehmer A Co.,
and connected in business with these defendants, as
copartners in the business of manufacturing paper
collars." And tbe only defense made by Cornelius
Van Deusen was. "tbat be la not, and bas not been,
since tbe 1st day of January, 1866, a member of the
said firm of Van Deusen, Boehmer & Co., nor Is he,
nor bas be been, since tbe date last aforesaid, In any
wait, connected In business with the said Henry
Boebmer and Jobn Van Deusen." Tbe sufliciency of
these pleas is yet to be determined by tbe Court.
Those who were Induced to sign tbe "Notice ' may
from the technical defense, judge lor themselves what
party bas afforded, and which bas avoided, a full
opportunity to try tbe real merits of tbe cause. i
It must be personally known to most of tbe parties
signing that "notice," that we bave also commenced,
numerous other suits upon our patents, almost all
those parties being themselves defendants in such
suits, and each one of tbem having therefore an ex
cellent opportunity to ascertain by personal experi
ence wbelber we are In earnest or not, and whether
those who promise indemnity will furnish It or not.
For (he benefit of those who desire to know where
they can safely purchuse goods made under our
patents, we subjoiu a list of our licenses:

WHAT IS DYSPEPSIA?
DYSPEPSIA HAS THE EOLLOWIKO
SYMPTOMS I
1st. A crm.itnnt pnin or unrruine in the pit of
the tflomach W hlcli Is cntised by permanerj.
contraction of tfie stomnch upon the untliKceled
food. It generally In plus hnrrifdl lately or
short time alter eating; Is often very aovore nd
obstinate.
2d. Flolulenre and AriAiti. Ttiese svmptornsl
nrise from the Indigestion of food, wblcb. fer
Iiiems Instead of digesting. f"f
3d. Oxttiveness and .Lou of Appetite. TY&
symptoms are the effects of the unnatural oon
d'ltlon ol food In the stomach, and the want of tv
pure bile and gastric Juioe. The stomach Is often
pnlnftilly distended by wind; the appetite Is
sometimes voracious.
4th. Gloom and DrpretnUm of Rpirii. Thin
state unfits many for the enjoyment of life, end
Is caused by the Impure blood furnished by Im
perfect digestion. In this stage of the disease
many persons commit suicide. There Is a con
stant foreboding ol evil, and an IndlfTerenoB
and positive Inability to perform the olllces of
life.
6th. Diarrhoea. After beln at first costive,
the sufferer Is aflllcted with diarrhoea, which la
owing to a diseased condition of the bowels,
produced by the undigested food, which 1st
evacuated In tbe same condition as when
eaten, and of course gives no strougth to the
system.
6th. raini in all TarUofthe SytUmkTteei from
the action of impure blood upon the nerves.
They are felt chiefly In tbe head, sides, and
breast, and In the extremities. In many cases
there is an uneasiness in the throat, with m
sense of choking or suffocation: the mouth Is
often clammy, with a bad tasW and a furred
tongue.
7th. Consumptive Symptom and Palpitation of
the Heart. Many persons pronounced as having
these diseases Lave, lu lact. nothing but Dys
pepsia, the lung and heart disease being only
symptoms.
8th, Covah. This Is a very freqnent symptom
of iJyspepsia, and leads very often into con
firmed consumption.
Bth. Want of Sleep. Avery distressing svmn-
toni, resulting from mental derangements.
10th. tivrnvtom of External Kelation The na
tient is alltcted painfully by cold and heat,
which Is owing to unnatural dryness of BKin,
and the skin Is often affected by eruptions ana
tetters. The gloomy dyspeptic avoids society as
1JUUCU BH pUSBlUlU,
11th. Vomiting. A. freqnent and distressing
symptom. It relieves the pain, but emaciates
and wears out the patient.
12th. Dizziness, dimness of virton. headache, and
staggering in walking. -These are very alarming
symptoms, which are speedily removed by our
medicines; dui lr negiecteu are quiomy iouowea
by numbness and sudden death.
!3tb. It Is impossible lor us to give all the
symptoms of Dyspepsia lu so small a space, but
the above are considered sufficient, If we add
tbat the patient loses his memory and regard to
surraundlng objects, and frequently becomes 1
morose and sour in dlsptwilton. We should say,,
however, that pains In the Joints and stlffnesa
of the limbs, which go by tbe name of rheums -tlsm
and neuralgia, are produced by Dyspepsia,.
Also, a hardness of tbe muscles of the abdomen,
which becomes contracted and hard; and in
some cases the belly sinks, instead of being
gently prominent.
N. B. Perhaps we have not said enough o
that strongest symptom of Dyspepsia, melan
choly. We have examined hundreds of cases of .
Dyspepsia, who were so much affected in their
minds tbat they constantly forbode loss of their
reason, which unfitted them for business of any
kind, and many of them bave been patients ol
the Insane Asylum, who are now permanently ,
cured by our medicine.
, Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent
yearly, and hundreds ol thousands of the best .
men and women of America linger In pain and
die, and fill a premature grave, with that awful
disease. Dyspepsia. They try thia physician
and tbat physician, but alas I alas ! no relief, no)
cure; and the next we hoar of them they havs
gone "to that bourne Irom whence no traveller
returns."
Out of the thousands of cases of Dyspepsia
that have used Dr. Wlshart'a Great American '
Dyspepsia Fills and Pine Tree Tar Cordial, not
one of them has failed of a perfect cure. We
warrant a perfect cure in every case, no matter
if It be twenty years' standing. Bold by all
