oils exert three distinct properties in converting
common whiskey TO brandy, gin &c. The first
property combines with and subsidies in the form
of foculent particles the whole of the grain oil,
(Amylic Alcohol) The whiskey is thus depriv-
ed of that peculiar irritating and burning taste,
and becomes neutral spirit; the second property
consists in an oily mucillanimous taste impaired
to the liquor, which renders it mellaw, and impatrs
an appearance of great age, the third property is
exhibited in the rich vinous nutty odor that is i'm
parted to the liquor, which renders distinction
from the genuine brands impossible.
These oils are put up in quart TASKS; each flask
contains sufficient oil for making three hundred
gallons of liquor. Full and comprehensive direc.
tions accompany the bottles Price So per bottle,

On beautiful Sunday afternoon last f,',
Young couple from an adjoining town came
down to our village, stopped at one of the
hotels, and sent out for a clergyman and
were married The young man paid the fee,
took a marriage certificate, ard they left
the hotel harry couple. A few days since
the young man called upon the clergyman
with his certificate "and wished it dated
back" "How far back do you want it dat
ed'' inquired the clergyman. Why, as
near as we can calculate, about couple Of
months" replied the young man. This the
clergyman seemed to decline doing, but the
young man wished he would, las he would
rather give five dollars than not have dated
ack." The clergyman regretted the neces-
sity Of dating back the certificate and he
was very sorry that he could not comply
with his wishes; so the young man left with
bis S5 and marriage certificate, the latter
being las near as they could calculate about
two months too short" Dispatch.
