STAR OF THE NORTH- R. W. WIAVXR, jpiTOR. Ulooinsburg Thursday May 10, 1895. THE NEW LIQUOR LAW. "Whatever may be men's various opinions as 10 the morsl'effact oftflhejprinciples upon which the new liquor law is based, all intel ligent minds agree that its practical machin ery by which it is to oommence operation is very defective. Moch.of the objection to it arises from a want of plainnessfand fairness n its provisions, as how it shall come into force; and this unfortunate -confusion in its details will give rise to very much preju dice.against the principles of the law. It is • piece of inconsistent patchwork, the ground •of which was laid out by a man and mind entirely unacquainted with the existing law on the saute subject, and stifi more ignorant of the practical operations of the old law. It is emphatically a Know-Nothing statute. Mer. who had hardly ever read an act Of assembly offered their amendments, or rath er additions, without any releiance to their harmony with other provisions ol the bill; and in this coal of many colors it went -through the legislature. Then judges and members of tha body which made the law began to debate and dispute as to what it meant. Hardly any two lawyers agreed as to all its provisions, and in some districts judges decided against those in an adjoining county. Some courts grant tavern licenses, others do not. In some counties merchants obtain licenses to sell liquor, in others the Treasurer issues none such. All this is unfortnnatejjor the cause of temperance, for personal grievances and pri vate feuds come thus to creale prejudice against the csuse itself. It is unfortunate be case it places men antagonists to their prin ciples, and forces good men oo the side of evil. If the new law could once forcibly get in operation, we think 'it wonld be found less obnoxious to public opinion thsn it now seems. But before that time will come, the ssrilrment of the people will have elected men to the legislature who will either entire ly repeal it or very materially change its pro visions. At first it was very generally believeJ that the new law designed to renew tavern li censes this spring under the old statutes; but that the laws which authorized county treas urers to grant lioenses to merchants and beer houses were repealed. The following letter, however, which we havo received, puts a different oohstrnction upon the law, and in accordance therewith, as it is from (he State authorities with whicb~the Treasurer most settle his accounts, the mercantile appraiser will so amend his contemplated assessment and the county Treasurer will issue licenses as formerly, but tu capita uu tlio lot ufOuta ber. The public notice of the mercantile appraiser has been delayed until after court, aitd to obtain an expression of opiniou from the Slate authorities. The opinion from Mr. Franklin, the Attorney General, is as fol lows : "Although the liih Section of the act of April 13th, 185S, entitled "Art Actio re strain the aale of intoxicating liquors," de clares that no license granted between the dale of the act and the first of July next, shall authorize the retailing of liquors by innkeep ers after the first day of October next,yet the act does not provide for any apportionment of the price of license for a less period than one year; and innkeepers whose license have been granted since the date of the act, must therefore pay the price of a whole year's li cense, to enable them to continue their bu siness until the first day of October next, at which time all eueh licenses will expire by the express terms of the law. "After the first day of July next, no licenses for the sale of liquors can be granted or is ■eoed ia any other manner than that provided by the act. Until the first of July next, lam of opinion that the Couuly Treasurers may issue licenses as heretofore. The applicants in such cases must pay the prices now fixed by law for the whole year; and the mercan tile appraisers must make their returns for the present year as usual; there being no change made in their duties ~hy the aot, nor any provisions for. an appointment by them THOS. E. FRANKLIN, Lancaster, May 4, 1885. Ally. Gen. The Liquor Law. Jacob Hoffman, Esq., of Reading, who has some reputation as a lawyer, was lately con salted by the landlords of Reading for his opinion as to the constitutionality of the new anti-license law ; and in reply ha has given his decision at length, arguing mcch against the policy and morality of the law, bot confessing its constitutionality. He be gins bia opinion by saying : "I can only say that I do not think its provisions are in con- Riot with the constitution of the U. Stales, or that of Pennsylvania. It respects and protects all persons having paid for and received a license during the time for which it is to continue. And, if even the act had gone into effect immedi ately after its passage, and bad annulled all existing licensee, it oould not have been de olared void under any constitutional provis ion, aa the power to repeal and annul grants of that nature by general laws, is inherent and must of necessity exist in the Legisla ture. It comes under the bead of sovereign power and police regulation." tW Eli Sllfer.lKsq., the new State Treas urer, entarad upon hit duties last Monday morning. He has 'appointed Thomas Nieh olson, of Beaver county, Caebier; Isaac W. Rawn and J. N. Elder, Clarke; Solomon Munaon, Messenger. One appointment ia yet to befaiade. OT At the munioipal election in Lancas ter hat week the Know-Notbiqga were de feated. foitl Proceedings. Court met on Monday morning, with a full bench. The new constables were ew'orn in, and a number of motions-made. Joseph Sharpless was appointed Foreman of the Grand Jury. Jonas Mann, Jeremiah Stiles, John Savage and Phineas Winlersteen were held In bail for their appearance at the next Quarter Sessions. In the case of Com. vs. E. P. Lutz an in dictment was found for an assault and bat tery on James L. Kline, verdiol, "guilty."— Sentence to pRy a due of sls and the costs of prosecution. . An indictment was preferred against the supervisors of Mifflin township for not opening a road, and the Grand Jury ignored the bill, directing Christopher Heller the prosecutor to pay the costs. The indictment against Alexander Christy and Andrew Malcomb, for obstructing the public road near Cattawisra was tried. The defendants were contractors on the Catta wissa Railroad, and in making the Railropd seem to have interfered, in some places, with the location of the public road which leads from the town along the south side of the river to the upper ferry. Their change of the public road had in some places im proved it, but generally had narrowed it.— The defendents proved by Col. Paxton and several other witnesses thm the new publio road has less grade than the old one. The defendants finally withdrew their first plea, and plead guilty. Sentence deferred. Clark & Comly for Commonwealth. Pleas ants and Hurley for defendants. The next esse wag that of Andrew Lar ish'a Executors vs. Benj. Hayman, and thtß was the only civil case tried before a jury. It was a demand on a note. The defence was that the plaintiff's estate held, the note as a trust fund for Win. Raber against whom an equitable defence was shown in a defici ency of the amount of land sold by Raber to Hay man.,-. Verdict lor defendant. Hurley for plaintiff. Comly and Weaver fee defend ant. Com. vs. Washington Shuman and Henry F. Hosier for cutting land mark. For want of evidence, verdict for defendants and that the prosecutor Samuel Johnson pay the costs. I Clark Si Weaver for Commonwealth—Comly for defendants. Tavern licensee were granted, and the usual amount of Orphans Court business transacted. Court adjourned on Wednesday morning. SPRING IS) 11 ERE. The dull earth teems anew with life, and seems to laugh outright like ail other things of joy and beauty. Hope springs up into many hearts that were crisped with the frosts of sorrow nnd suffering; and fresh life creeps through sluggish and sickly veins, like the sap through the rose tree, to blootr. anew upon cheeks that lately were pule and thin. The freshness of nature is contagious; and the song of birds and thrift of vegetation shame misanthropy. But our mind and pen have no time to copy natnre this morning. In the midst of our three man-power labor, to which we are fastened, we can hardly find leisure to enjoy song and beauty as we would. But in the midst of our reverie we teceive the contribu tion ot a lady whose favors to our columns heretofore have been approvingly copied by our brethren of the press, and are as wel come to us as they should be to our readers. We copy her page in the lively measure, and promise the other next week. For the "Star of the North." Alt INVITATION. Come out of the woodlands And meadows so fair, Come bask in the sunshine And breathe the fresh air. The gay birds are chirping On every green tree, Come forth totne woodlands, Be happy and free. Whore the spring flowers blossom Beneath the blue sky, Come roam through tiie meadows . And bid care goodHrye. Then leave grief and sorrow To 10am where they may, Think not of to-morrow Be bappy to-day- Buck Horn, Pa. E -... For the " Star of the North." * MB. EDlTOß:—Please allow me to say a few words through your paper, in regard to those " itinerant Yankee" that the '"Colum bia Democrat" is 'down upon.' The Colonel feels bad because we did not ■end him a card of invitation, so that he could bring in some ten or fifteen besides his office bo)s, as he did three years since, when we were there. The Col. will learn that he can not sponge from a Yankee more than twice in the same shape, if even be can get pay lor insrling advertisements that no one or ders lobe primed, because the advertisers do not order them to be kept out.

J LAKE. License Decisions, In a case which came before Judgs Heg ins of Pottsville last week, he decided, like the Attorney General, that licenses may still be granted for liquor lo merchants, and to ale and beer houses as formerly. He also granted tavern licenses. Judge Haines and his associates have re fused to grant license for the aale of spiritu ous and vinous liquors to any Inns or Houses of public Entertainment in Cheats: county. On the petitions advertised and presented a sort of temperance license was granted to suoh ax might eee fit to Uke them out, at one half the price of a usual tavern ltoense; and it ie supposed that tbeae temperance li censee imply the privilege of Ml'iug ale, beer and porter. We do not understand by what authority this ia done. Perhaps by some special law. Tlii close of the Messioe al Hnrrlsbar*.' The Governor seems to have-been kept bosy writing 1 veto messages. During the last two weeks he has averged more than one per day. That veto power was once e good hobby to use againM Democratic ad ministrations when Whigs Were out ol power but with ir'Know-Nolhing legislature the Governor finds it a very necessary preroga tive. How times do change ! We think he hag not used the veto once too often. As a sample of the sort of bills which these Know-Nothings sent to him we will notice that to incorporate the Atlantic Insurance Company, which was to be loca ted at Girard, Erie county, or elsewhere— the charter being a license for it to roam alt over the state. The veto was unanimously sustained by the Senate which had passed the bill. On the same day he vetoed the bill to au thorise the stockholders ol the Mount Joy Sa ving Institution to vote by proxy. The bill was so dead under the veto that not a mem ber of the Honae afterward voted for it. He also vetoed a bill relating to the sala ries of County Superintendents in certain counties. The bill afterward received 5 votes to $3 against it. The Lebanon Valley Bank bill was also vetoed. The bill to incorporate the Montour Bank was negatived in the Senate by a vote of 6 to 51. Mr. Bnckalew did no! vote. When the bill to incorporate the Mount Pleasant Bank came np m the Senate, Mr. Taggart offered an amendment that this bank shall discount notes without endorsers,, and that the directors should be elected by the people. He thought there were now enough banks to discount good paper, aRd some of a different sort were needed. To have directors elected by the people would insure us more obligiiig officers, who would not so often say " no." The bill was lost by a tie vole. An amendment was adopted to the ap propriation bill appointing Wm. B. Maffet Superintendent of the" North Branch Exten sion for six years with an anuual salary of $3,000. The hill to pay members SSOO a year was passed finally. Last Saturday Mr. Killinger called up Sen ate bill No. 302, to incorporate lite Lebanon Valley Bank, veiled by the Governor. The main ground of ike veto was that the notice of application hid not been published six months before the meeiing of the Legisla ture, as required by law. Alter a spicy tlebate, the veto vras sus tained by a unanimous vote, all rha Senators voting except one. The bill to increase the capital of the Col i umbia Bank was negatived. ' The frienda of the administration general ly voted against the bill. This, it is under stood, is done to relieve the Governor from I the responsibility of acting on any snore Bank bills. "A change has come over the spirit of their dream." The bill to protect keepers of hotels ar.d boarding houses came up. Ihe nnil section jjrcwUaa that nn pmrann shall be esteemed an irn, hotel or tavern keeper, nor be authorized to recover by law any charge for food, lodging, &c., who shall not be licensed by the Court of Quarter Ses sions, under the act of 11th March, 1834, relating to inns, taverns, &c.. which may be granted at any term, with advertisement, but shall not authorize the sale of intoxica ting liquors after the Ist of October next. Mr. Buckalew opposed the section at some length, in a very able speech; and Mr. Browne also exptessed his disapprobation of it. Mr. Price supported it briefly, when it was negatived—yeas 4, nays 28. The bill then passed finally. The bill to sell the Main Line has been signed by the Governor. It fixes $7,500,- 000 as the minimum price, nn less tho Penn sylvania Railroad Company become the pur chaser. In that case the price shall be SB,- 500,000, and the tonnage tax to be then re pealed. On last Tuesday morning both branches adjourned sine die. THE NEWI. OT Coi. Forney, Wm. F. Packer and Wm. L. Dewart are spoken of for Governor next heat.

NfcW YORK CITVxNEWS. Monday, May 7,1856. There is no denying tbe fact that the beef-beaded Englishmen lavished honors and applause on Louts Napoleon daring his recent visit to England, each as r.one bnt the smartest rascal of Ihe age -could have elici ted from them ; but there are somb little in cidents connected with his htisit, which are not to be overlooked. The Democrats and foreign refugees in London had pretty atroug hints that they would be expected, and that it woald be to their interest, to keep 'quiet during the entertainment; and the chiefs among the'refogees are understood to have counselled their fellow-exiles to refrain from offering any insult to England's guest, as only harm to their cause would result (rom an attempt to get up a counter demon stration. Considerable excitement was caused in London, by a report that a French refugee bad attempted to shoot the Kmiwror, while returning to Buckingham Palace. It turned out, however, that the man had only attemp ted to throw ■ letter into the carriage. He was, of course, immediately arrested. Sev eral persons, said to be Chartists, were ar rested for gathering a crowd and circulating handbills of (he following description during the Imperial progress through London: " BNGLABD'a DISCRACE —TUB Rail. DAT OB HU MILIATION. Leuis NAPOLEON, The murderer, the oath-breaker, the des troyer of the French and Italian Republics, who bribed tbe soldiers, to massacre the peaceful citdzens upon tbe Boulevards, exil ed the best men of France, and paved his way to power with the corpses of unoffen sive men, women and children, it coming to England. Englishmen, do your doty. The truth of these accusations is oroved by the Timet, Cronicle and Advertiser, of Deo., 'sl, and Jan., '68." The papers call thia " a great shame," but a greater shame to Englishmen, we should think, is the manner in which the London News dishonorv the memory of " the Great Duke," to exalt Louia Napoleon. The News says: "The dead Duke represents something belter. The funeral of the Duke represen ted the death of an antique state of society; the triumphal procession of the Empeior ty pifies the advent of a new age. Napoleon Ihe Third is, in spile of his antecedents, the herald of a new order of things. It is he who by his allisnoe with England has given liberty to Europe." A further repudiation of the memory of the " Great Duke'' on this occasion, out of com pliment to Louis Napoleon, we find in an account given in tbe same paper of the prep arations made at Windsor for the French guests: The apariments for the personal atten dants upon the Emperor and Empress have also been splendidly fitted up. The whole ol the rooms have been furnished with new carpets. One of the most attractive of the state apartments, it is well known, is the " Waterloo Chumber." This room is hence forth to be ettllecl the 1 Picture Gallery," the name ol Waterloo being given to oblivion." So Waterloo, where, according to English histories and school-books, the liberies of Europe were saved, has been "given to ob livion," to avoid offending the "nephew of his uncle." Waterloo, certainly, has been avenged. American book* are becoming more and more sought after in Europe. A popular work on consumption, by Dr. 8. 8. Fitch of this City, has gone through several editions in England, where it is exciting a good deal of attention and discussion. The London Cronicle says: "Our medical schools are greatly indebted to Dr. Fitch, and we are glad to see by their professional periodicals that they commend his book. The Doctor justly scouts the adsurd idea of ' inhalation,' or any one mode of treatment being suffi-1 cient to core all cases of consumption." The May term of our State Courts opens to-day, and there are many interesting cases on their respective ealonders. The Federal Courts are already in session, and the trial of Col. Kinney and Mr. Fabens will proba bly commence in the United States District Conrt this forenoon. In the- United Stales Circuit Court a motion will be merle, to-day, to restrain tbe publication, by De Witt and Davenport, of Mist Josephine Bunkley's Convent Life. Miss Bunkley, ee ell who '* take the papers" are aware, recently es caped from St. Joseph's Convent, Emmetts burg, Maryland, and proposes to tell, in print some queer stories of the Nuns, Father Con lessors, and Lady Superiors of that religious institution. A sample chapter of her work, containing some startling disclosures, has already been put forth byway of a feeler, and the excitement it has created is indica tive of an extensive sale of the entire work. The author of (be book alleges that her agent, Mr. Beats, has made arrangements with De Witt and Davenporte to bring it out without her consent. They, on the oth er hand, slate that they entered into negotia tion with Beale in good faiih, and that her remedy, if any, is against him alone. The litigation, of course, helps to puff the work. De Witt and Davenport have always sus tained tbe reputation of a liberal and honor able publishing house, and, in this case, it is pretty clear that if any wrong Itas been done in the premises they are not cognizant of it. School Meeting. We hope every teacher IQ the county will try to be at Millville on the 19th inat.

A est r lit and the i aufr'tener. All hopes of Austria taking the'fielii-against Russia is for IB# present at an end. 80 seems to be the filling Impression in diplo matic circlet in London and elsewhere. Only twelve sessions of ihe Conference were held. There dre strong indications that Austria will refuse to act against Russia. L'ordjohn Russell and Mr. Drouin Tie l'Huys have left Vienna. The news is highly important. The Vien na Conference has brokert op; Russia hav ing rejected the demands of the Allies. From the Seat of War. The intelligence from the allied army be fore Sebastopol, states that during the two first days of tbe bombardment, the fire of the beseigers was superior to that of the city, and much damage was done to the Russian works. Tbe bombardment of Sebastopol by the allies with 600 guns commenced on the 9th, and continued incessantly up to the Istb. The assault is deemed 10 be not practicable, but the intention is to storm it if possiple. During the night of the 16th, the left at tack of the allies obtained considerable ad vantage over the Russians. The Russians were twice dislodged from a strongly fortifi ed position which remained in the hands of the French. The possession of this position will enable the allies to fortify the summit of tbe Ravine, which is of great impor ' tance. . | Since the seige commenced, five out of seven of the Admirals of the Russian fleet at Sebastopol have died or been' killed. Prince GortschakofT has published an ad dress to the garrison, in which he slates mailers look more encouraging for tbe be sieged. Serious trouble had been created at Krajo va by the bratal conduct of the Austrian offi cers. The people at last became infuriated and drove them out of tbe town. The official statements of the affair return 247 as having been killed on both sides.— The excitement continued up to the last ac count, and a deputation bad been sent to the Sultan to demand justice. From the Haltle. Tbe operations for strengthening Ihe forts on the Baltio were going forward with great activity, and 120,000 troops are concentrated in the ltusso-Baltic provinces. Most of the British advanced squadron for the Baltic if delayed in the Great Belt by ice. Fnglnnd. Parliament re-assembled on the 18th. The estimate for the expenses ol the gov ernment for the year is £86,339,000, and the revenue at £63,339. The Emperor and Empress of France have been in England for a week. The new British loan of sixteen millions sterling has been taken by the Rothchilds. It is to terminate at the end of thirty years. The taxes on income* are to be increased, and also upon spirits, tea, coffee and sugar. 1 A stamp duly is also proposed. England assents to Louis Napoleon's ta ! king oommand of the allied army in the Crimea. Tbia is, however, regarded as doubtful. Cotton market steady and unchanged. Wheat and floor is lower, but quiet. Corn has slightly advanced. Iron is unchanged. KNOW-NOTHING* IN COURT.— The Bucks county Intelligencer, of the Ist of May, has the following account of an occurrence in court: Previons to empanneling a jury on Wednesday last, to try certain parties charged with riot at the township election, in Nockanixom, in March last, alleged to have originated from an ill feeling existing between Know-Nothings and German Cath olics, Hon. Thomas Ross, counsel for the defence, challenged the array of jurors, ow ing to the fact of their having been selected and summoned by a Know-Nothing sheriff; that as Know-Nothings, men might not en ter the jury box unbiassed where those put upon their defence were Catholics, or be longed to a different political party. The challenge was argued at some length by Mr. Rose, in favor ol setting aside the array, and by George Lear, Esq., in opposition.— Witnesses supposed to be Know-Nothings, were called and examined,some of them un dergoing a thorough cross-examination from Mr. Rose, relative to the" secret order of Know-Nothings. Some of the qnestions I were over-ruled by the court, and it was lelt discretionary with the witness to answer them. The witnesses called to the stand were, Sheiff Fellman, Joshna Stackhouse, Dr. Samuel Brsdshaw and William Bacbe. During the examination of these witnesses, the court room was densely crowded, and mnch curiosity was manifested to find out the* mysteries of Know-Nothing ism. Some of the witnesses admitted tbey belonged to a secret order commonly known as Know- Nothings—that they were bound by an oath not to support any Catholios or foreigners for office. The court over-ruled the chal lenge of Mr. Ross, and after consuming the greater part of the afternoon in a froitless ef fort to bring to light the seorets of "Sam,"i the court proceeded to empannel a jury to try the Nookanixom rioters. XW Gov. Reader of Kansas is proving himself every inch a man. In bis attempts to administer justice, he is met by a set of bullying, brow beating scamps from across the Missouri liner who are trying to drive him into their pro-slavery notions without regard to law or reason. He has proved himself a true Pensylvanian, a real Spartan, and we may welt feel'proud of him. Ha is made of the right stuff, as tbey will find be fore he gets through wilb them. We have known bim long and known him well as a citizen, aa a companion, and> at a soldier, and we can bear testimony to biabigb stand ing in all these relations.

A "lay or two ago we witnessed 0110 6t those lingular freaks of animal life that some times lake naturalist by surprise. It was noth ing more nor lets fhan a cat suckling, and apparently rearing, with all the motherly a( faction she show's her own off-prlng, a cou ple tf young rah ! It appears that a cat be longing (0 the Exchange Hotel, gave birth, one day last week,lo three kittine. Acozy place was fixed for puss and her progeny inanempty barrel. A few days after the event one of the waiters attached to the hotel dis covert) a rat's n'dst, from which]he took seven nrfwly 'born rats. Just for the fun ol the thing, he concluded to treat the old cat to two of them, byway of a dinner. He accor dingly threw them into the barrel, but the oat, inrtead of eating them up, as was natu rally Dofipoeed, drew them toward her, and commenced suckling and carressing them, acd apparently showing them much kind ness ; and up to this day the rats are still un der the maternal care of puss, whtfrh any person that chooses can see Ihera. Wheth er the cat spared thert to draw from her a superabundance of nourishment, or whether she done so ou' of pore pitv for their help less condition, is a matter we leave lo those whose opinion on rats is weightier than our own.— Hollidaysburg Standard. Operations of the Llqaftr Law- It will be seen by a communication from Mr. Udolph Wolfe, the proprietor of the I "Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps," that the Prohibitory Liquor act, view of the caae, ia not likely to interfere with the aale of that article for medicinal purposes. To auch purposes he urges now, as he has urged heretofore, that it be exclusively con fined. His interpretation of tbe first and twenty-second sections of the law baa strong arguments in its support; and it is quitd like ly that no attempt will be made lo prevent him from doing business under them. There is much force in his remark that the per nicious effects produced by the use of adul terated liquor, are among the leading causes which have led lo the enactment of the pres ent law; and although he does not exactly endorse the measure as it stands, he admit*, as all conscientious men admit, that restric tions on the sale of liquor much mora strin gent thau those now in operation, were im peratively needed.— N. Y. Daily Times. Know-Nothings and the Law. Tbe grand jury in Buncombe connty, N. C. t at tbe spring term, asked the instruction of the Court, with relation to the propriety of presenting Koow-Nothings as conspirators. Judge Saunders charged them to the effect that Know-Nothings could not be presented for banding together and administering oaths, but if they used threats to force a citi zen to vole for or against any candidate for an office of trust, then they would become fit eudjects for presentment. Acting upon this chatge, the grand jury presented several citi zens as violators of the law. The grand ju ry of Monroe county, N. Y., whose atten tion was called to the subject by Judge Welle*, has presented tht Know-Nothing or ganization as one dangerous 10 lbs free exer cise of tbe elective privelege, and as viola ting the statutes.of New Yoik, in influencing its naemberi, by threats, to vote (or certain candidates.

The inner door of the prison was opened by means of a false key. t The outer door was locked from the inside, and had the key in it, which facilitated their escape. They must, of course, have bad outside help. The persons who maJe their escape are: Geo. W.

I beg leave to call the attention of the citi zens o! Pennsylvania to the above article, mannfactnred by myself exclusively, at my < Factory io Scbiedur, in Holland, expressly for medicinal r^urpOses. It is made from the best Barley that can be selected in Europe and the essence of an ar omatic Italian berry, of acknowledged and extraordinary medicinal properties 5 and it has long since acquirod a higher reputation, both in Europe and America, than any Other dietio beverage. In Gravel, Gont, and Rheumatism; in Ob structions of tbe Bladder and Kidneys, and Debility of the Urinary Functions, its ef fects are prompt, deoidfed, and invariably re liable. And it is not only a Remedy for these maladies, but, in all case* in which they ere produced by Drinking Bad Water, which is, almost universally, the causa of them, it op erates as a Sure Preventive. The distressing effect upon the Stomach, Bowels, and Bladder, to travelers, new resi dents, and all persons unaccustomed totbsm produced by the waters of nearly all our great inland rivdrs like tbe Ohio, Mississippi, and Alabama, from Ihe large quantity of decay ed \ rfgetable matter contained in them, in a state of solution, is well known; as is also i bat of the Waters of limestone regions, io producing Gravel, Cplnuli, and Stone in the Bladder. The AROMATIC SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS is an absolute corrective f alt those injurious pVoperties of bad water, and consequently prevents the disease which they occasion, ft Is alto found lo be a core and preventive Of Fever and Ague, a com* plaint caused by the conjoin; effects of vege table malaria in the atmosphere, and vegeta ble pulrestenses in the Wpters of those dis tricts in which ft principally prevail*; Tlte Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps is consequent ly in great demand by persona travelling, ot about to settle in tbOse parrs of tbe country especially; as well as bv many in every community where it has oecome known on account of ila various other remedial proper lies.

UDOLPHO WOLFE, 18, 20, St 22 Beaver street, N. Y. 25 South Front street, Philads. I beg leave to call the attention of the pub lie to the following letters from physieians: "Laboratory, If. IT., May 2, 1853. "Ma. UPDOLSHO WOLVE — Dear Sir: I can not speak to highly of the purity of yout Schi edam Schnapps, ft is decidedly superior to anything of the kind in market. It is per fectly free from the admixture ot fusil nil, or of any of those am; lie compounds which produce such a mischievous and irreparable effect upon the constitution, and which vary few samples of alcoholic distilled liquors are without—most ol them being largely impreg nated with it. I have personally inspected the Various piocess of distillation practiced at Schiedam, and know that unusual car* ie taken to separate tbe noxious elements from the pure alcohnl, and your Schnapps is a striking proof of its success. As a medici nal agent for chronic and renal affections, 1 have successfully prescribed it, and recom mend it as an agreeable cordial and harm less stimulant, and shall continue to do to; as well aa to use it as a souro* of pure alco hol for chemical investigations and expert taenia. Yours obedient, ISAIAH DEC*. Consulting Analytical Chemist." Dr. Charles A. Leas, Commissioner of Health, Baltimore, writes as follow* in rela tion to the value of Schnapps a* a remedy in chronic catarrhal complaints, bo. The letter is dated July 27, 1853 : " I take great pleasure in bearing highly creditable testimony to its efficacy as a rem edial agent in the diseases for which you reo ommend it. Having a natural tendency to the mucous surfaces, with a slight degree of stimulation, I regard it as one of the moei important remedies in chronio catarrhal af fections, particularly those of the genito uri nary apparatus. With much repsect, your obedient servant, CHARLES A. LEAS. " PHILADELPHIA, July 15, 1863. " Mr. Udolpho Wolfe, No, 2 Beaver t., pf.

I have had a very ooalinele case of gravel and atone, of some five years standing, eauaing very acute pain in evcty attempt to urinate, After using many remedies without much relief, i waa induced to try a bottle of your medicine. In the cpurae of threee days it proved effectual, dislodging large pieces of atone, some of which were as large as a marrowfat pea.
