stared u in the face as Familiarity as If it had seen
Us somewhere before This pantomimic insinua-
ton vas Of course Indignantly repelled because
We knew cnr innocence Of any familiar acquaint-
auee with that or any other Jug However being Of
aninquisitive turn Of mind applied the ordinary
tests and discovered whisky white whisky---pure,
unadulterated Tennessee whisky therein. Our
friends above, our friends below, and our friends
over the way have all tried it, and pronounce it the
0estarticle they ever did try. Now, we no judge
because Of our inexperience, but we only give
the verdict Of our friends who are judges They call
TIA No. l." and smack their lips when they ay
&c. We consequently firmly believe It to be good
whisky. We have since learned that 1t was a
present from MFR. N. B. Phipps, who has twenty
barrels, just received from Tennessee, and now
ior sale cheap by the gallon or barrel. Mr.. Phipps
