HEIpsIEcK ANDco., PMAURY JR, AGENT
Re ms San Fran so
p. Marry, Jr., sole Agent for
Heidsieck g. Co., i'm California.
Dur ng the last two years that have heen
acting as Agent for the sale Of the Heidsieck
& Co 81 hampagne, frequent enqu rles have
been made of me whence it arose, that there
existed two brands of this well known wine,
To explain this matte satisfactorily, beg
TO call the attention of the public to the ol
lowing facts;
The original manufacturer of the ce ebrated
Heidsieck Champagne. died in 1928, and after
his death his business wa coutinuei his
two nephews, one of whom ontinued to re
side on the same spot and TO cultivate the
same vineyards while the other established
himself some distance from the original place
each carrying on an entirely distinct bus ness;
the former under is uncle's firm, 'Heldseck
4 Go :" the latter under the name OF lie
Sleek
Mr.. Christian Held ieck the nephew who
had removed from the place where his uncle
had originally established himself died in
1885 and his widow married MIR. Piper,
who now continues to manufactu n wine
which he STYLES 'Heidsieck,' being only the
successor of Nr hristian Heidsleck which
in reality is not continuation of the old and
origina firm and cannot therefore be con
sidered rs the genuine brand.
The above statement clearly explains the
discrepancy which has hitherto existed and
no one will dispute the right of the nephew
who inheri ell vineyards and continued on the
same spot where Nr Heidsieck first establish
ed himself to manufacture the wine for which
he became 50 Justly celebrated to he ookpd

A Villainous Outrage.

On Friday evening last, about half
past FIVE O'Clock, Robert Alcorn, while
driving his horse and dray down Wal
nut hill, was beset by several drunken
rowdies, who jumped on the dray,
took the reins out of Alcorn's hands
and started the horse atf1llspeeddown
the hill. Just as the horse passed the
toll-gate, Alcorn was violently thrown
from the dray, striking his head
against some large stones, which pro-
duced several very serious though not.
mortal wounds on the scalp. The fall
likewise broke both bones in the right
leg, about one-third below the knee,
the wheel Of the dray passing over
the same leg some distance below the
above wound, completely crushing it.
DR.. Gotwald, who is attending on the
wounded man, thinks his leg may be
saved, although the injury is both ex-
tensive and serious. Such unpro-
voked rascality as prompted to the ac-
ton from which so much suffering to
the patient and painful anxiety in the
minds Of the family resulted, certainly
demands the severest punishment.
Let the Millcreek police ferret them
out.-Cin. Commercial
Indeed such outrages are almost in.
tolerable. But a few issues ago, the
Commercial recorded similar In
stance, where several drunken Williams
drove two innocent country boys from
their wagon, and beat one of them
nearly to death. Some would say the
Lynch Law is too good for the devil
ish rascals; but we would say, take
from them that which makes them
demons, and you will still find them
men. '@ a Isl. safs lo

The Majesty Of the Movement.
The people Of this generation have
seen no moral movement comparable
in the grandeur and majesty Of its
progress to the Temperance Reform.
Beginning in weakness, it has risen
from little cloud, no bigger than a
mans hand, till it expands from
ocean to ocean and sheds its mercy
drops on whole nations. AT first, the
attempt to arrest the intimidation seem.
ed like an effort to stay the rising tide
Of the Atlantic and roll back its floods
with broom. Year succeeding year
Of toll and anxious counsels among
the friends of humanity, and some-
times when they sat down to review
the laborS Of the past, it seemed as
though the evil they combated grew
rather than declined, and where they
had cut off a single head of the Hy-
dra, hundred instantly sprung from
the wound. The patrons Of the still

laborers in the temperance field, and

Of what utility is all this expenditure

But the efforts in this cause of God
and man were never in vain shadows
fitted across the field at times, but
the sun of serene and benignant
Omnipotence was still shining behind
the clouds, and causing every prayer,
