of the purity of his "Wines and Liquors, says: I
will btake my reputation as a man, my standing
as a meichnnt of thirty years' residence in the
City of Xew Ytk, that all the Urandy and
Wines which I Lottie are pure as imported, and
cf the Lc.-t q'.utlity, and ear. be relied upon l3'
every purchaser." Every bottle has the pro
prietor's name on the w;ix, and a fae simile of
his signature on the certificate. The public are
respectfully invited to call and examine for them

j rit, nd. We are h:i py to inform our fellow-citi-!
zens that there is oi.e place in our city where the
physician, apothecary, and country merchant,
j can 50 and pure.ha.tc pure Wines and Liquors, as
; pure as imported, and of the bet quaiitj'. Ve
I do Let intend to givean. elaborate description of
j this merchant's extensive Luiiutss, although it
j will repay any stranger or citizen to visit Udol
pf.o il!e s extensive warehouse. Nos. 18,20
and 22, Beaver street, aud Nos. 17, 10 and 21,
Marketfield t-treet. His stock of Schnapps cn
hand ready for shipment could not have been less
than thir'y thousand cases; the Ilrandy, some ten
thousand cases Yintapes of lSr.. to 185'j; aud
ten thousand cases of Madeira, .Sherry and Port
j Wine, Scotch and Irish Yv'Li.-ky, Jamaica and
, St. Croix Rum, some very old and equal to any
in this country, lie also had three large cellars,
filled with Brandy, Wine, &c, in casks, under
Custom - House kev, read for bottling. Mr.
Wolfe's sales of Schnapps la.-t year amounted to
! one hundred and eighty thousand dozen, and we
I hpe in less 'than two years he may be equally
J suci c.-sfu! nith his Brandies and Wines.
) His business merits the patronage of evcry
j lover of his specie. Private families who wi.-h
pure uiucs and Liquors for medical use should
send their orders direct to Mr. Wolfe, until everv
AjMithe-cary in the land make up their minds to
discard the poisonous stuff from their shelves,
and replace it with Wolfe's pure Wines and
Liquors.
We understand Mr. Wolfe, for the accemmo-dati-m
of small dealers in the country, puts up
assorted cases of Wines and Liquors. Such a
man, and such a merchant, should be sustained
aiairt t his tens of thousands cf opponents in the
United States, who sell nothing but imitations,
ruinous alike to human health and happiness.

The important fact that the awful consequences
of self-abuse may be effectually removed without
internal Medicines or the dangerous applications
of caustics, instruments, medicated bougies, and
other empirical devises, is here clearly demonstra
ted. and the entirely new and highly successful
treatment, as adopted by the celebrated author
fully explained, by means cf which every one is
enabled to cure himself perfectly, and at the least
possible cost, thereby avoiding all the advertised

SELF-SEALING AND SELF-TESTING, AIR
TIGHT, PREMIUM FRUIT JARS CANS!
These Jars and Cans being perfectly simple iu
their arrangement and requiring no cement in
order to make them air-tight, any one of ordiuary
judgment can hermetically seal them by simply
screwing the cap down tightly after the fruit has
been put in hot.
Besides their simplicity and ease of adjustment
and the impossibility of stoppers blowing out,
&c, the greatest advantage is that you can at
any time see the condition of your fruit by sim
ply looking at the top of the cover. If the gum
gasget is concave the fruit is good; if convex it is
going to spoil, but will always show itself in time
to be saved.
Tlie absence of this test ha3 ever been a matter
of anxiety, and frequently of serious loss to those
putting up Fruit or Vegetables.
These are advantages which no other Fruit
Jars or Cans in this market possess.

Pleasant to Tobacco Clievrcrs.
A letter from Petersburg, Va , to the
SchncctaJy Star, gives the following delight
ful description of the manner of preparing
chewing tobacco ia that regiou;

large room like a mortar bed, into which is
pat tho weed, to be sprinkled with the above
decoction. Two or three darkeys are stirring
the tobacco up with their feet, so that all por
tions maj became equally saturated. After
this I'peratioa it is dried upon poles overhead
until it is fit for working below. On the sec
ond -trry, the leaf is divested of its stems by
numerous black women and cbildren. It is
then, in a supt 2e state, male into rolls aa
icch or two inches ia diameter, and of any re
quired length. Oa the ground floor, the
roles are squtzed into plugs, and carefully
packed for transportation to the tobacco lov

pari of this description highly colored, but it
is literally a tru3 account cf what I Lave seen
more than once; and what I heard be true,
the drucs and fiith are hardly half portrayed.'
It might be supposed that people Lore do not

does but then they chew the clear leaf- And

ing stiry:
A journeyman mechanic in Connecticut,
being oal of work, aud Laving a family to
support, called upon a gentleman of the vil
lage, to see if Le could not give Liai some
thing to do The gentleman asked what
kind of work Lc could do, besides following
Lis trade.
"Oh, most anything," replied the man.
The geut'eruau be-though: himself a mo
ment, and then asked
You're a Wide Aawke, I believe?
"Yes sir."
Have you cot your bat and cap yet?
"Yes sir.""
Well, if you will pat them both on, and
walk about the streets, with a label attached
to the care,
"The last of tha Wide Awakes."
I'll give you a dollar and a half a day for the
service.
"I will," said the man.
And at last accounts Le Lad been working

We cannot vouch for tbe truth of tbe story
but tell it as it was told to us.
A lawyer once jocosely asked a board

'Mr. , if a man gives you o00 to

Do you pray for Lim?"
No, sir," Le replied, "I pray fcr another

An inventive Yankee Las produced aa
apparatus wLich Le says is a euro for snoring,
lie fastens upon the mouth a gutta-percha
tube, leading to the tympanum of the ear.
Whenever the saortr snores, he himself re
ceives the first impression, finds how disa
greable it is, and, of course reforms.
