WI OIL.-This Oil, for bFilliancy, durability,
and purity light, and for lubricating purpo-
SEES, whether applied to the delicate works of
watch or the most ponderous machinery, surpaases
any oil now known. asa at
It is warranted not to gum, being entirely de-
prived of that substance, which seriously i'm
pedes the rapid movement of all kinds of machine
ry; and for burning it is cheaper and better
than any oleaginous substance now in use.
While it affords light superior to gas or cam
phene, it is also free from the dangerous explosive
quality of the latter, being solely sperm oil
purified.
So pure is this oil that it will not freeze at any
degree of cold known within the limits of the
United States; having thereby in this, as in every
other particular, advantage over the best sperm
oil used,
After devoting many years in experimenting
with the various oils for the purpose of overcom-
ing their impurities as at present fabricated, the
undersigned assures the public that he has sue
ceeded in producing the .'ne plus ultra of oils.
He offers it superior to any known oil in the
world for the purposes of burning and lubricating,
and invokes the scientific of all countries to test
1T and pronounce their opinion, satisfied that all
will agree that it is the finest oil ever offered for
sale. WILLIAM ID. TOWNSEND, Phila.

had been too quickly aroused, and thst the natural
nervousness and timidty of his lady had led her 70
view the visits of DR. p In an exaggerated light
And besides, DR. Lewis, judging from the tenor O
his letter wherein be regretted not meeting with
DR. Pe.icolas,' showed that up to o'clock Wednes
day he did mot look upon the visits as made with
hostile intent-or else II he did that he was sorry
that they did not have hostile meeting.
Mr. Lewis here disclaimed any desire of having
hostile meeting
After 8 o'clock nothing had occurred to prove
hostile intent on the part of DR. Peticolas towards
DR. Lewis, and he In his letter. declined noticing him
further. He thought the Doctor had lent too much
importance to the statement of his wife conce rnng
the interview, and had been operated upon BY ex-
citement he shout 3D. therefore, dismiss the warrant
and discharge the accused parties from custody.
BOUND OvER.-The case of Dr. Philip C. Gooch,
charged with assau.ing DR. Dioclesan Lewis on
Monday last, came up in due order before the
Mayor yesterday. DR. Lewis stated, that about
a quarter to O'Clock on Monday morning, as ne
was walking on Grace street, near the Virginia
House, DR. Gooch ran up to him, exclaimed, "Dr
Lewis, l have been looking for you, and then
struck him on the arm with cane. The blow was
not very severe. Had not said anything to DR.
Gooch.
DR. Gooch here desired to know what DR. Lewis
meant by letter In the Wing, over his signature,
wherein he spoke of him (Dr G In connection with
DR. Peticolas insulting, and said he was ready for
him, or should wait and settle with them. This
question was overruled by his Honor as not peril
nent to the matter at issue.
Mr. Levy was called and had conversed with Dr.
G. just previous to the alleged rencontre, but did
not see ii.
Mr. Gray, of the firm of Adie & Gray, deposed to
seeing DR. Gooch on the morning referred to go up
to DR. Lewis, near the Catholic Church, on Grace
street, stop few seconds, if to speak to him, and
then strike DR. Lewis on the arm with stick. DR.
Lewis had a large stick in his hand, and received
the blow on the arm which held the stick. Dr. Gooch
then undertook to strike another blow, when DR.
Lewis turned and run as hard as he could towards
the Virginia House, finally entering it. DR. q. ran
after him, but finding he could not overtake DR.
Lewis threw mis- stick after him. when it struck him
on the shoulder. DR. Gooch then picked up his
stick and walked off,
The Mayor adjudicated the case by recognising
DR. Geoch in the sum OF 5000 to answer an indict-
ment before the Grand Jury-and then finding
both parties over 4 the sum of 5000 each to keep
the peace.
The Mayor gave the caution, that to publish in
public paper man as liar, or to use opprobrious
epithets towards man, became libel, and would
be violation of recognizauce. The public prose.
cutor would also have to take such matter In
hand, the ground that the public tranquility
concerned in his affair.
