The Wreck of I lie Propeller Toledo.
THIRTY Oil. FORTY LIVES LOST.
Loss of the Schooners Bohemian and Pratt.
J’ nun the Milwaukee Sentinel, Oct. *27.
The propeller Toledo, Capt. Densham, of the
American Transportation Company's Lino,
bound to this port, with a large cargo of mer
chandise for this city and for merchants in the
country, in the gale of Friday last was lost in
front of Port Washington, and the captain and
all on board drowned but three. We got the
following particulars from Mr. Pomeroy of
Detroit, who was at Port Washington at the
time.
On Friday, at about noon, tho propeller was
within about 100 rods of one of the piers, and
was dragging her anchors and goiug north
ward. At about 4p. in. an attempt soemed
to be made to get up the anchors, and to get
into a safer berth further north. The anch
ors were down again soon after she got beyond
the north pier. The propeller had her flag at
half mast, but tho waves wero rolling at such
a fearful height that no boat could livo a mo
ment in them, and no hulp could be rendered.
The wind rose to its height at dark. Fires
were built all along the shore, amt by their
light the hull of tho propeller could be seen
rolling, and laboring heavy some 100 rods out.
At nbout 74 p. m. boxes mid barrels of goods
began to conic ashore and iu about half an
hour tho yawl boat was dashed on the beach,
and was found to oontaiu a man clinging to
one of the scats.
As soon as ho was able to speak he said that
he was one of the deck hands, and had got
into the boat with about ‘2O others, but tho
boat was upset almost immediately, nnd ho
alone managed to cling to it as it was hurled
over nnd over toward tho shore. In a short
time another man got ashore, nnd a third was
lifted up by a wave and thrown upon the pier
alive. These three are believed to be the only
persons saved. They say that there wore 40
or o 0 persons in all on board. They were
deck hands and did not know tho names of pas
sengers, nnd but few of tho crow. They re
member one family of passengers, a man with
his wife nnd six children.
They state that the Captain’s objoct was to
get up his anchors and beach her as a last re
sort, but the anchor chains got foul and they
could not raise them or out the chains before
the scums opened aud tho water came iu so
rapidly above and below that the propeller
settled to the bottom.
Scarcely a vestige was left of the vessel in
the rooming, uud such of the goods as eaino
ashore were dashed to pieces by the waves.
flic Toledo was ono of tho largest class of
propellers, and, with her cargo, was probably
worth $(>5,000 to $70,000. The vessel was
not insured. The waves have swallowed up
an immense stock of goods of every kind,
scarcely anything of which will be savod.
.The schooner l’ratt, from Buffalo, loaded
with coal, stoves and iron, for this port, is also
ashore near Port Washington.
fho propellers, Illinois and Potomac, of the
American Transportation Company, were out i
in the gale, and have not been heard from.
The propeller Nile was also exposed to the
full fury of the storm on this lake, but weath
ered it bandeonioly, and catne into this port,
all right Saturday.

* Tire Mexican Indians.
Mexico, Oct. 18, 1830.
Messrs. Editors: There is, perhaps, no
more striking feature, to a visitor, in tho
system of social organization in Mexico, than
the strange amalgamation of two races, so
contrasted in all their habitudes aud char
acteristics. Though theoretically, on political
equality, and designated all as citizens of the
Republic, it needs no great discernment to
mark the division and allot to each its appro
priate sphere in the social scale. Whatever
may bo his civil acquisitions, the Indian, in
the mass, is still the degraded, thriftless class,
but little removed in habits aud customs from
tbo wilddndian of centuries past. Inheriting
and retaining most of their primitive associa
tions, they uro, doubtless, rather deteriorated,
than improved by contact with civilization, in
the realization of some of its worst vices, with
few of its appropriate virtues. At oneo indo
lent and reckless, with a total inuppreoiation
of labor, us a moans of social progress, and,
alike, unconscious of any idea of expediting or
or facilitating it, with a view to its effective
ness, they still pursue, from generation to gen
eration, tho same unvaried course of uusappli
aucesand improvidences. Every tiling is ef
fected by dint of physical effort and struggle.
The scenes which are daily presented each
morning on various avenues to the cupilol, de
cidedly symbolize those of the rude and untu
tored savage. Caravans of donkeys, with
their drovers, and hosts of Indian attendants
are seen daily Wending their way to the city,
all bending under the weight of every variety
of merchandize. Tho bucks, alike of donkeys
and of Indians, are the chief medium of trans
portation, and it is almost inerediblo to note
tho immense loads which these last do sustain.
Burdens which many of our most robust la
borers would scarce venture to lilt alone, are,
by moans of broad straps, drawn across the
foreheads, conveyed for miles, and at a pace,
too, no less remarkable, frequently keeping up
with a carriage and pair, at a respectable trot,
hi this way arc transported to market large
coops of poultry, barrels of lard and large bas
kets of vegetables. The donkeys, besides as
sisting to carry these, are laden with every
variety 8f most burdensome articles, as bricks,
rocks, lumber, and indeed all thqse materials
which are usually transported with us, by
draft. Tho fixtures upon the hacks of these
animals arc ingeniously contrived so as to re
tain and secure almost every kind of material.
Thus arranged, they travel for miles over the
whole country, much after the mariner of the
Eastern Caravans. The doukeys are neither
bridled or haltered, but arc so well trained as,
of their own accord, or at the least sign from
their drivers, to diverge readily to each side of
the road, leaving the way clear to any passing
vehicle, ’l’is remarkable, too, how quickly
and free from any accidents, this movement is
effected, even where they are loaded with
lengthy pieces cf timber, one end of which is
trailing on the ground, while the other is
swinging about their ears. A most passive
and self-enduring species, they seem most ad
mirably adapted to their masters, requiring no
care, and sustained on the veriest minimum of
provender, frequently for whole days, having
no other provision than the loose herbage,
which they gratefully crop along tho road side
under the pressure of their burdens.
The Indians themselves seem no loss patient
and enduringtban their companions and friends
—the donkeys passively and loungingly trail
ing along tlio road, regardless alike of time
and speed. Living in a genial clime, where
the requisitions of nature arc supplied by little
toil, they indulge to the full that sloth and
sensual gratification so characteristic of the
tropical tribes. Simple, and even child-like
amusements, wouldsoem to occupy their homes
to the neglect of graver employments; and
this disposition appears peculiarly favored in
the construction of the Roman ritual, as to its
oft repeated festas and showy ceremonials.—
The zeal with which they enter upon these is
truly characteristic; for days previously de
corating tho locality, aud the paths to it, with
most beautiful bouquets, garlands and festoons
of richly variegated flowers—reveling in the
gayest sports and dances, and always conclud
ing them with the most surpassingly brilliant
and curiously wrought lire works. Addicted
thus to idleness and sport, there is little room
for improvement, cither iu tho comforts or the
conveniences of life. Indeed, so indifferent
are they to those, they havo few strong induce
ments to toil, ami they aro lienee little to be
relied on in their engagements, particularly
as domestics, in which capacity they arc the
never-ending subjects of complaint with house
keepers. Here, they are not unfrequently the
occasion of considerable embarrassment and
inconvenience to their employers, hesitat
ing not to withdraw without any notification.
And a hard task does it prove; nay, for the
most part is it impracticable to withhold them,
by either persuasion or authority, from tho
innumerable fiestas which are ever aud anon
springing up under the nuspics of some favor
ed Saint. Thus, iu their very religion, tboro
would seem but the blending of Aztecs Idola
try with modern Romanism; nnd, in their
ceremonial observances, with tho exception,
perhaps, of human sacrifices, there can be dis
cerned no vast coutrarity iu their festal re
joicings ot‘ the present time and those of the
Montezumns. Whether, indeed, as a caste,
they are susceptible of auy high degree of ed
ucation aud civilization is indeed problemati
cal. Yet, perhaps, had but a modicum of the
efforts been made to morally train and culti
vate them, that lias been exerted to accommo
date them to tho Romish ritual, they might
have boon, at this day, a more useful and in
dustrious class. But between superstitious
ignorance on tho one sido nnd wild radicalism
on the other, they havo continued both degra
ded and thriftless, with very little progress of
amelioration.
Ono of the most horrible social excroseuocs
here visible, in association with this caste,
and, most likely, growing out of their imper
fect civilization, while yet iu contact with it, is
tho class of Leporos. These, numbering some
twenty thousand, infest tho Capitol through
out, at once a public nuisance aud a private
annoyance. With, apparently, the most ab
joct humility, iu rags and tatters, they beset
the passer by everywhere, in the streets, the
plaza, at churches, and at the doors and win
dow of your residences, often intruding thciu
solves upon you without note or warning,
seemingly bent on attaining something by pil
feriug or by begging. Silently stealing upon
you, the first intimation of their vicinity is a
low murmuring sound, as they mutter out some
Such, then, aro the people (the Indian race)
who are vauntinglv held up as tho free citi
zens of this Republic, appealed to, on all pub
lic occasions, as disinterested patriots, ready
and zealous to servo their country, against for
eign and domestic foes.. Whether willing or
no, it is certain they constitute the only force
of the army through its file. And it was no
less curious, and suggestive to a stranger, to
witness, in the late patriotic celebrations of |
the Republic, this distinctive caste alone con- I
stituting the file, ranked by officers of unoth- ‘
er, race, and escorting the processions of this
same race, all participating in tho glorious re- 1
suits. Tho Indians indeed would seem to
share the lighting if not the glory. Ii is from
them that the armies of tho Republic are re
plenished, ami though necessary, at times, it
is painful to witness the summary mode with
which the conscriptive power is enforced, riv
alling the worst period of Napoleon’s reigu.
Only a few days since, our attention was forci
bly attracted by unusual cries and disturb
ances on the wayside, which turned out to the
wailings and moanings of a host of women and
children, following their dejected friends and
relatives, who, to the number of thirty, had
been seized in their habitations the night pre
vious* and were now being transported, under
a guard, us new recruits, to their quarters.
Thair down-cast countenances seemed to have
lost all that patriotic glow, and inspiring ar
dour, wUich so beamed over them at the Into
grand barbecue feast, participated in by Com
onfort on tbe Pasco, and this timely realiza
tion of tbe patriotic sentiments, there engen
doted, would seem to ha ve, in a measure, p ul
led their warmth and brilliancy.
The existence of these people is indeed a
matter of grave speculation, in relation to the
well-being of Mexico. It may justly he ques
tioned whether their permanence has not been
a draw-back upon the progress of the country;
or whether their removal at the earliest epochs
might not have eventuated in more fortunate
results. Occupying, as it does, the position of
that most important class in every community,
(the laboring,) it cannot fail in its impractica
bility or inefficiency thereto, to become worse
than nugatory—nay, a very canker upon the
tho body-politic. Probably, under a system
of domestic servitude, they might have been
rendered much more efficient elements of so
ciety, while their condition, either morally, or
socially, could hardly have deteriorated more.
Certainly, under this systcip, they could not
have been more trampled upon and abused
than they were under the various well inten
tioned plans designed for their amelioration
by Las Casas and others. Under the system
of Kepartiarnentos they were but instruments
in the hands of rapacious taskmasters who
imposed upon them the most exhausting and
enduring labors with a view only to their own
personal gains. Under that of Eucomiendas,
they’ were no less the prey of extortionate
commissioners, who under tiie simulation of
guardians and fosterers, exacted from them
the most exorbitant tributes. Indeed, the Pe
onage system, on the largo Haciendas, which
partakes measurably with ours, presents these
people under decidedly the most favorable as
pects. The Peons, assembled on these places,
remote from the cities, arc sober, docile, and
industrious, willing to serve their employers,
and as little worried about any civil rights as
our own doinesticts. They become, as it were,
tenants of the soil, and the attachments to the
locality, engendered by the lengthy periods of
habitatson, almost for generations, become so
intense as to awaken the most poignant grief
at any prospect of separation. Thus heredi
tary custom, and circumstances have, in fact,
built up a system of domestic servitude with
out the advantage of there salutary laws, re
cognizing the institution, and establishing the
claim to protection and guardianship, on the
the part of the laborer, fr< in those whose duty,
as well as interest, itisto fiffored it. Under care
ful and judicious administrators they become
a useful and thrifty class, contributing to tbe
interest of their employers, at tho same time
enhancing their own, in the varied blessings
and comforts of their own neatly appointed
llanchprias. It becomes, in reality, a system
of permanent bondage, inasmuch as their sti
pend being, for the mortgaged part, anticipa
ted, their time and labor becomes mortgaged
for a life. Not less happy on that account in
their comfortable hemes, with their families
around them, their condition is far surpassing
that of their less fortunate compatriots, who,
in vicinity of the Capitol, left to their own re
sources, are tempted expend their scanty earn
ings at the Pulque shop—soon perhaps to sink
down into that miserable and criminal class of
Leperos, or enter upon the no less miserable
and criminal avocation of a Ladrone.
Before concluding this notice of the Mexi
can Indians, I would passingly allude to some
of the singular natural gifts with which they
are endowed. Their imitative powers, and
skill in fashioning materials are almost incon
ceivable. In this respect they have inherited
many qualities of the old Aztecs, who,
to a remarkable degree, sculptured out of
wood and stone the most curious aud ingenious
figures, aud that too with a dearth of imple
ments equally surprising. I witnessed a most
striking instance of this on a recent visit to
the Minerea, where was to be seen a perfect
profile of. an idol cut out of Obsidian, one of
the hardest and most unimpressible of volcanic
products. No modern process of operating
upon it has, 1 understand, been yet discovered,
and here it has been worked into various em
blems nnd minute articles of adornment for
priest and soldiers by theso ancient barbarians
—and oven the tool itself, by which it was
worked, formed by them out of the same ma
terial. The modern Indians, with equal art,
seem to fasliian everything out of wax, wood
and cloth. Tho wax figures are truly remark
able, being modeled with the minutes exacti
tude in every variety of order from Tulsa’s
magnificent equestrian statue on the l’aseo, to
the lowest and most betattcred Lepero. The
best illustration of their habits nnd customs is
furnished by themselves in these figures, a real
hieroglyphic history. Every trade, employ
ment and profession is most graphically por
trayed, so ns at bneo to have presented before
you a living spectacle, !n the higher arts too,
I havo seen some striking di.-plays on this imi
tative faculty—in painting and in architecture.
It was a gem in itself, a miniature Grecian
temple, all complete, its dome, its Corinthian
columns and capitals, beautiful architraves
nnd rich profusion of ornaments, tho whole
carved out of a piece of soft wood, and with a
penknife. Strange contrasts these to their
numerous deticicnoes and marked defective
ness in the scale of exalted nature. Exalted
instincts indeed, seemingly independent of all
culture, or perhaps in spite of its very ab
sence. A SOJORUNER.

Hoops—A Hew Invention.
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times thus describes anew invention which
we take pleasure in republishing for the infor
mation of our fair readers. Let us speedily
have* the steel rings, as they will doubtless
prove more durable than the whalebone hoops,
and also give a more perfect rotundity to the
weaver:
From the common starched crinoline they
passed to the crinoline with rings of whalebone,
then to the l ings of whalebone without crino
line, and within a month all our belles have
adopted the steel rings—the last new invention.
Imagine to yourself a lady in her most intimate
garment alone, standing upright within the
hoops of a hogshead from which the staves
have been removed and tbe hoops fixed in po
sition, and you will have a tolerable clear idea
of the new invention. The steelrings ate small,
almost like the mainspring of a watch, and are
wrapped with strong cloth. They commence
small in diameter at the waist, and go on en
larging in regular proportion to the feet. In
front they contain a spring, by which they can
be enlarged or diminished —to small extent—at
will. But they arc usually worn so enormous
ly large that as the wearer walks they do not
touch the person at all. They are thus healthy,
and as a hygienic invention arc worthy of all
praise. As the wearer sits down they fold up
with ease—that is, from bottom to top, not in
diameter. But they present this inconvenience,
that when they are pressed on either side at
the bottom, the opposite side is elevated into
the air to an inconvenient distance for those
who do not wish to show the color of their gar
ters. This the iadies declare to be the only
inconvenience of the new sous jupe. But in
Baris this inconvenience is not a great one.
Enterprise.
An iron steamboat has just becu finished
by the Novelty Iron Works, to run on the river
Maule, in Chili, between the city of Constitu
tion, on the Bacitic, and the city of Taka, in
the interior. Several Americans are interest
ed in tho enterprise, and will probably send
out other boats of the same description. This
boat is 123 feet in length by 35 in width, aud
will draw eighteen inches of water. An in
teresting fact connected with her is, that she
is the last vessel modeled by the late George
Steers. She lias two oscillating engines, with
a power of 170 horses; is guaranteed to run
at the rate of ten miles an hour. After being
taken in pieces, she will be shipped on the
clipper George Benson, for Valparaiso.
Talca is tho terminus of anew rail road,
just put in operation by the American engin
eers. A party of Englishmen had previously
undertaken the work, and sent out five steam
ers; but the latter were unable to ascend the
stream ; and tbe construction of the rail road
was attended with such large expense as to
threaten the whole entei'prise with extinction.
The work now proceeds under more favorable
auspices. The freight carried on the river
Maule is principally wood and an excellent
kind of wine, said to resemble choice claret,
and which is produced in large quantities.
The Novelty Irons Works are building a
powerful side-lever engine for the Charleston
steamer Columbia, building at Green Point,
and to be launched in about ten clays.— N. Y.

Church Property in Mexico.
A Now York paper gives us some interest
ing information concerning the value of the
church property of Mexico. It says that the
archbishop has nine bishops under him, all
having cathedrals and chapters, except the
Prelate of Sonora—with 183 prebendaries aud
canonrics; 1200 parishes and a regular and
secular clergy amounting to 10,000 persons,
under his dominion. Os the regular clergy,
2500 reside in the capital, and the orders of
the Dominicans, Franciscans, Carmelites and
Mercedarians possess 150 convents. The sala
ry of the archbishop is $130,000 per annum,
that of the Bishop of Puebla was SIIO,OOO. —
The remaining bishops receive altogether about
$200,000 more. Tho Signor Lendo de Tega
da, who is now at the head of the finances,
asserts that the repeal property of the clergy
is of the value of from two hundred and fifty
to three hundred millions of dollars.
In the city of Mexico, containing five thou
sand houses, worth eighty millions of dollars,
the church owns one half, and the income has
been estimated by the minister at twenty mil
lions of dollars. Waddy Thompson, our for
mer minister at Mexico, was of the opinion
that one quarter of the whole country belonged
to the church. The quantity of gold, silver
and jewels in tho churches is great enough to
pay the whole foreign and domestic debt. A
single balustrade, about three hundred feet
long, in the cathedral of the capital, is sup
posed to bo worth a million of dollars.— Mobile

An Incident in California.
The Rev. Bishop Andrew, in one of his let
ters from California, relates the following inci
dent :
A ride of fifteen miles brought us to the
house of Judge Dickinson, on the Tuolume riv
er. We were kindly treated. We had here
quite an interesting incident. Mrs. A. recog
nized in one of the waiters a young man whom
she had known in Alabama; but he had changed
his name, and when she inquired if he was not
B. (.’., he denied it, and the family knew him
as E. M. I told her she was probably mista
ken, but she persevered, womanlike, and finally
succeeded iu coruering him. Finding that ho
was recognized, lie made an honest confession.
He had come to California, been unfortunate
in business, and was reduced to the necessity
of begging, stealing, or working. He very
properly chose the latter, and was employed as
a waiter at the public house, at S4O A month
aud Ills board. This was a wise resolve, yet
his pride revolted at the idea of its being
kpown that he had fallen into such a menial
employment j hence, to prevent, his friends
from knowing him he had changed his name.
His feelings as a son broke forth when he found
ono who knew his mother, and could give Idm
tidings from home. The interview may be
overruled for good. He said on our return the
following week, that he intended to save all his
wages, and return in a few months to Alabama.
His employer spoke highly of him as a very
excellent young limn.
The Supposed Murderer.
The loulaud bloody murderer of Miss Martha
Fcnnix, near Greensborough, N. C., has been
already noticed in the Suu. The ease un
weut mi examination before Judge Person, of
the Superior Court last week. The Judge
pronounced the evidence against J. 11. S.
Ciiipman, of such a character as not to admit
of bail, he was, therefore, committed to jail to
await his trial.
Longevity.
Mrs. Purdy, residing at Spencer, Tioga co.,
New York, is now 105 years old, is in good
health, and apparently lias as strong hold upon
life as she had many years since. Her hus
band was killed in the revolution, and she was
left a widow at the age ot 22 years, she never
married again, and now. at this groat age, her
wind is clear, and she relates scenes nnd anec
dotes of the revolution with all the ardor of
youth.

From tho New York Mercury.
FEAunii.Ksi Imitations or Sit'ekior Commodities,
Aipong the many dishonesties of trade which the iw.r
ai sense of the community is called upon to suppress, \u
would particularly notice a most pernicious and infamous
practice adopted I>y unsci upulous dialers of imftat ing anil
counterfeiting the exterior appearance and precautionary
labels of popular drugs, medicamentn, and other milch's
of personal consumption, and thus, by seizing upon da
w-ell acquired reputation of an enterprising trader, pal
ming oft’ most destructive and worthless compounds, to
the sore detriment not only of the consumer, but to tin
character of tho man who has expended thousands of
dollars in bringing the genuine article into esteem and
demand. These petty larceny thieves are the pest of all
honorable dealers and traders, and the trade is as much
highway rubbery as the violent appropriation of their
neighbor’s purse; iu fact they are beneath the burglar
and highwayman in dignity—for these latter felons ex
hibit a bravery or recklessness of character in nowise dis
tinguishing the mercantile assassin who stabs in the
dark. And ought they not be rewarded with a punish
ment commensurate with the cowardice of their crime?
Wc were led to these remarks by accidentally observing
a spurious counterfeit of Udolplio Wolfe's Seheidmn
Schnapps. The labels were imitated perfectly, with the
slight addition of a few letters to plead technical avoid
ance of the law against counterfeiting; the bottles were
very similar, and every thing carefully prepare! to im
pose upon a careless purchaser. Now is not the man wlm
perpetrated this fraud, a felon a robber I Assuredly lie
is; for, as Mr. Wolfe has expended large sums to bring
liis genuine imported schnapps into popular demand,
that demand may be justly considered a part of liis cap
ital in trade, and a fellow stealing a part of his reputa
tion is as much of a thief as if he had stolen a barrel of
liis schnapps in bulk. And to this crime he odds a fur
ther one of defrauding the community by giving them a
ruinous article for tho money they intended to expels!
for a commodity in which they had confidence. Ami.
further, every man who participates indirectly in the
fraud, b v selling spurious articles is as much ei’ an often
der as the principal who planned the imposition. Tim
remedy ol Mr. Woiie should lie iu his holding all concer
ned up to the contempt of the community thus swindle!
by their operations, aud unconsciously imposed upnnl.v
their noxious composition. We trust that Mr. Wolfe
will obtain names, not only of the concoctors of tlm- f
counterfeits, but of every man offering them for sale.and
then publish them to the world: lor his own reputation
and tiie health of the community demand that all putties
should be nailed to the pillory of popular execration.
From the Now York Dispatch,
AN INFAMOUS UUSINESS.
W lieu an enterprising man strikes out anew Imaiimw.
to the establishment of which lie gives his industry.tilin'-
talents and pecuniary means, can auytliinghe more com
teinptible than to have another steal in, and. under
cioua pretexts, hold out to the public an interior arlom
and endeavor to obtain their patronage? Fray, what
difference is there, so far as the honesty of the thins i*
concerned, botweed purloining the business by which a
citizen hopes to make his bread uud stealing the Lrciul
itselt ? A common thief, if lie takes without leave, how
ever hungry, a loaf of bread from a baker's shop, is apple*
bonded and condemned to the penitentiary for during i“
a surreptatious manner to appease his appetite; but put
a respectable looking coat on Iris back and a low dolin'”
in his pocket, and lie may, with impunity, nay. even
with the applause of Ids fellows, by knavery, forger}’ “ r
other infamous means, take tho business of an holiest
man from him, and go unscathed of justice. All this is
wrong. Some years since a gentleman of thisritv I I dol
pho Woiie) introduced to tho citizens of tiie United SUl'*
a medicated nrtlelo of gin. which was highly approved by
professional gentlemen as a superior tonic and df. !- N ll -
ent, and the knowledge of which lie. by advertisement
and otherwise, disseminated throughout the country.—
So soon as tricksters, who pass in the business commu
nity as honest men. S.nv that Mr. Wolfy was likely l ”
have handsome returns fur the time and money wliMj
lie had expended, they set about forging his labels ini”
palming off* upon the people detestable and poisonuu*
compounds w hich i'i -v have the hardihood to call “M l'U
dam PslinuppH.” In some instances they have gone
far as to put Wolfe's name to their villainous liquids.—
As this horde are growing bold in their rascalities, it i-
Ume the public in town aud country w ere put upon tie ‘ 1
guard. Consumers should lie sure that they fmrvhs
the genuine article, or else their health may be irre|ir
hly injured by using the horrible stuff that iinscrnpulen
men. because they can buy It cheap, will offer as the gen
uine article. Pure Sclicidum Schnapps can only be el'-
tallied at the stores of respectable merchants and drug
gists, in town and t-onntry. nnd it the establishment
Udolplio Wolfe, Nos. Its, &t and 22 Heaver Street, in tin”
city, where ills gotten up exclusively. Wethink it a du
ty which .Mr. Wolfe owes to himself and the command}’
to publish, by name, the rascals w ho are thus attempts
to defraud both him anil those who would he his cult"-
niers. He should not permit his modesty to hold linn
back from making so righteous an expose.
