Grop? ing flagitiously along in the dark, therefore, William came upon the watery snare, and soused in head foremost. Thus unexpectedly bap? tised, and, as Mantalini had it, "demmed damp," he wandered on into tho vestry.

John Hoag was hung at Walker town, Canada, on the 14th instant. He addressed the orowd, making a confession of his guilt, and advising all young boys to "keep away from whiskey, fast women, and the United States.

The cities of Sacramento aud San Francisco are always quarreling with each other abont their respective inducements to immigrants. Sacra? mento is now taunting its rival with its recent earthquako misfortune. San Francisco retaliates by alluding to the flood of 1862, which did so much dnmage to Sacramento. All of which is very encouraging to outside parties who intend to make either city their residence.

'When tho para medicinal restorative, new * o Widely known se WOLFE'S 80HIB DAM SCHNAPPS, was introduced into the world, ander the endorsement of 4,000 leading members of the medical profes? sion, some twenty years ago, its proprie? tor was well aware that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and useful preparations. Ho, therefore, en? deavored to invest it with the strongest possible safeguard against counterfeiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it dif? ficult and dangerous, lt *"bmttte? to distinguished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them the pureat spirit ever manufactured. Its purity and properties having boon thus ascertained, samples of the article woro forwarded to 10,000 physi? ciens, including all the leading practition? ers in tho United States, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of thc preparation and a report of the re? sult, accompanied each specimen. 4,000 of the most eminent medical men in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions of the article woro unanimously favorablo. I Such a preparation, they said, had long been wanted by the profession, as no reli? ance could be placod on the ordinary liquor? of commerce; all of which wore more or lesa adulterated, and, therefore, unfit for medical purposes. Tho peculiar cxcellenco cud strength of the oil of juni? per, which formed ono of the principal in? gredients of tho Schnapps, together witt I an unalloyed character of the alcoholic clement, give it, in tho estimation of thc faculty, a marked superiority over even other diffusive stimulant as a diuretic tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from pro fessional men of tho highest rank wore published in a condensed form, ami en closed with each bottle of tho Schnapps as ono of thc guarantees of its genuine nesa. Other precautions against frau? were also adopted; a patent was obtainot for the article, the label was copyrighted a/?e simile of the proprietor's aiitograpt signature was attached to each label am cover, his namo and that of tho prepara t ion were embossed on the bottles, and th corks woro sealed with his private seal [ No article had ever boon sold in this coun try undor tho name of Schnapps prior ti the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aro niutie ?Schnapps, in 1851; and the label wa deposited, as his trade mark, in tho Unite Statos District Court for tho Southern Dis trict of New York during that year. lt might be supposed, by porsous unac qnaintod with tho daring character of th pirates who prey upon tho reputation c; honorable merchants, by vending delete rious trash under their namo, that th protections so carefully thrown aroun< tJjcso Schnapps would havo precluded th introductions and sale of connterfoiti They seem, however, only to have etina lated the rapacity of impostors. The trad mark of tho proprietor has been stolei the endorsement which his Schicdai Aromatic Schnapps alono received froi tho medical profession has been claime by mendacious humbugs; his labels an bottles havo been imitated, his advertise monta paraphrased, his circnlars conic? and, woree than all, dishonorable retailer; after disposing of the genuino contents < his bottles, have tilted them up with con mon gin, tho moat deleterious of a liquors, and thuB made his name an brand a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession at: tho si- k, for whom the Schiedam Aromat Schnapps is prescribed as a remedy, ai equally interested with tho proprietor i tho dotection and suppression of these n tarions practices. The gonuine articl manufactured at tho establishment of tl undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is di tilled from a barley of the finest qualit and flavored with ?n essential extract tho berry nf tho Italian juniper, of un quailed purity. By a process unknown the preparation of any other liquor, it freed from every acrimonious and corr sive clement. Complaints have boon roceived from tl leading physicians and families in ti Southern Mates, of tho sale of cheap in tations of tho Schiedam Aromai Schnapps in those markets; and travolei who aro in tho habit of using it as an an dolo to the baneful influence of unwho some river water, testify that cheap gi put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequenl palmed off upon tho unwary.
