DR. GEORGE H. HEMEL
Old Drug House in a New Place—Where
to Obtain Pare Drags and Standard
Medicines and Perfumeries.
No name is more closely Identified
vth the drug and medicine business
est of the mountains than that of Dr..
r i iserge H. Keyser. Through many years
he has been recognized as head and front
of the trade in several of its most im
rxn4ant branches, a position which he
maintains at this day. A physician of
long standing, deep research, thorough
knowl dge of the human body and the
i lf
princi les on which animal life is smt
tained,,a pharmaceutist of enlarged prae-`-
tice and scientific attainments, and a
g,entlernan endowed with si high order
of talent, Dr. Keyser deservedly enjoys
the confidence of his lellow-citizens, and
we are pleased to learn that the old stand,
commodious and well appointed as It was,
failed to meet the requirements of the
vast trade directed towards him from
all sections of the country. In new
quarters, No. 167 Liberty street, our fel
low townsman finds himself at the head
of an establishment which is at once a
pride to the city in which contained and
a monument to his own indefatigable en-•
ergy and exertion. The new store build
ing, a four story structure nearly oppo
site the mouth of Market street, has been
fitted up in the very best manner and
made a highly attractive feature in that
part of the city, and will be found much
more convenient and commodious than
the old stand, which seems to be Insepa
rably connected with the name of Dr.
Keyser. While . the exterior has
been handsomely painted and lettered,
the interior has been fitted up in a style
that challenges admiration, and makes it
rank as one of the neatest • and prettiest
drug houses of the country.
THE STOCK.
In taking possession of his new quar
ters, Dr. Keyser has largely increased
his stock, and presents to wholesale and
retail patrons as choice selection of pure
drugs, fancy toilet articles, elegant for
eign and domestic perfumeries, standard
patent medicines, and general goods to
be found in his lino of trade as can be
purchased anywhere' in the United
States, In view of the adulteration so
common in drtigs, a practice which
greatly lessons their efficacy and value,
Dr. Keyser has made a specialty of deal.
login nothing but the freshest, purest and
best. He makes his purchases with de
cided good taste and judgment, and care
fully avoids all adulterated articles.
This feature would be the more appre
ciated it those compelled to use drugs
and medicines were educated fully up to
the fact that they are constanttv imposed
upon by unreliable dealers, who look to
profit rather than the immunity from
danger of patrons. The stock is varied
and complete, etribracing everything in
the line and will 'commend itself to pur
chasers.
THE WHOLESALE DEPARTMENT
Will be almost entirely devoted to the
sale of the standard Medicinal prepara
tions which have made Dr. Keyser's
name familiar to, tens of thousands of
households throughout the land. Key
ser's Pectoral Syrup, Keyser's Lung
Cure and Keyser's Improved Blood
Searcher, are known to our readers as
standard family medicines, whose fame
and 'virtues are appreciated, not only
from one end of our country to theotuer,
but abroad, in foreign lands, where they
have been successfully introducid. They
are all compounded and prepared under
the personal supervision of the inventor,
and will effect relief and cure in the most
obstinate cases for which' intended.
Mr. Charles Ke3 - ser, the active busi
ness manager of the extensive new es
tablishment, will be found constantly on
handjogether with a full force of com
petent, obliging and gentlemanly clerks,
to attend-purchasers who may call. We
bespeak for Dr. Keyser an- increase of
the large share of patronage heretofore
awarded him, and trust that his new
quarters may. in the course of time
prove, like the old ones deserted, insuf
ficient in capacity' for the demands of
his trade.
Dissolution and Co-Partner►bip.
On the Ist inst. the partnership pre
viously existing between David S.
Macrum, Calvin Ragan and R. C. Glyde,
(dec'd) as Murata, (11 . 7de Co., was
dissolved by limitation. Olefins due' to
and against , the old firm will bo settled
at the store by the successors.
Under the ITriu mimed Macrum, GiVde
& Co., the wholesale and retail trim
ming, and notion badness will continue,
to be conducted by Messrs. D. S. Ma
crum, Calvin Hagan and Nat. Morgan
stern, at the old' stand, 78 and 80 Market
street. We hive known the young gen
tleman just admitted into partnership
in this staunch and reliable house from
boyhood up, and while glad to record
his advancement feel assured ,that he
will prove of material advantage to the
firm. He Is eminently worthy the mark
of confidence and respect thus shown
him by his former emoloyeni. The new
firm have our heartiest wishes for their
continued prosperity and success, and
we bespeak for them an increase of the
large share of patronage hitherto directed
towards the establishment.
Mask Day In the Old 131:th Ward
Yesterday was "music day" for the
scholars 9f the Seventh and Eighth ward
schools, (old Sixth ward,) and it was
made the occasion of a pleasant re-union
'of Directors, teachers, parents and
friends of .the pupils and school, who as
sembled in the afternoon in ono of the
most commodious class rooms. The
children presented a fine appearance and
behaved with marked dignity and deco
rum. They were questioned by their
musical instructor, Prof. 'Walter B. Slack,
- on the elementary principles of vocali
zation, and their answers developed
thorough training and anquaintanceship
with the rudiments of the science. The
singing was excellent, reflecting credit
to the performers and Prof. Slack. The
Allegheny Quartette Club were , present
and sang several exquisite gems of vo
cal music, highly pleasing and delight
ing the audience.
Extensive Said.
About half-past nine o'clock last night
the police made staid on a den on At

is a common nuisance, and the parties
who, it appears, had congregated there
for the purpose, as they state, of drink

The following communication, received
from Com Missioner Rollins by Collector
Volz, of the Twenty-second District, will
be' found Interesting to persons engaged
in the tobacco trade in this -vicinity. It
bears date of Feb. 15th, 1869:'
Sin—The additional time given by the
Act of December 22u, 1868, during which
dealers might sell smoking and fine cut
chewing tobacco without packing and
stamping the same, as required by Sec

to day, and hereafter all such tobacco,
before being sold or offered for sale, must
be put up in the packages prescribed by
law and stamped. Severe penalties are
imposed for any violation of the 'law in
his regard.
,Persons having in their possession such
' tobacco ; incur no liability for keeping it
unstamped so long as they do not sell it
or oiler it , for sale.
The stamping is not to be done by In

John Green and Genrge Smith oactipy
Jointly a house on Avery street, FOurth
ward, Allegheny. Wednesday evening.
between ten and eleven o'clock, the po
liceman on that beat was attracted to the
place by the noise of a souffle which
seemed to Iv going on inside, and upon
arriving at the place he was _met at the
door by Green, who instructed him to
arrest Smith for disorderly conduct, as
sault and battery and half a dozen other
breaches of the peace, Accordingly,
Smith was arrested and locked up. At
the hearing yesterday morning it was
developed that the parties had been en
gaged in a neighborly tussle; in which
Green, who, if anything, had been the
aggressor, was worsted, and hence his
outcry. Under these circumstances
Mayor Drum imposed upon each a fine
of two dollars and costs, which they paid
before being released.
Horse Stolen
On Wednesday evening . about ten
o'clock a horse, saddled and bridled, was
left standing , hitched tO' a post on
Smithfield street, while the owner dis
mounted and proceeded to a saloon tear
by, for the purpose of refreshing the in
ner man. When the man came out
again his horse had disappeared, and
could not be found anywhere, though
diligent search for It and inquiries were
made of every person whom he met.
The animal was valued at two hundred
dollars, and together with the saddle and
bridle, which were just new, will be
quite a heavy loss to the owner,
_who
could illy afford, according to his own
statements, to bear such a loss. There is
a moral in this circumstance which
those who are wise might profitably re
flect upon.
(Meuse.
Philip Jones, a very respectable look
ing young man from the Thirteenth
ward, was arrested last night ou Duntan
street, brought to the Watch house and
locked up for a hearing this morning.
The officer had no charge to make against
