Friend ChaSe: 4 singular case Of
mental arrangement lately occurred here.
Jacob Owen, OF Hector township, a young
man Of some twenty years, attended court
last week as a witness. Soon after his
arrival in Coudersport, be showed signs
Of arrangement, and one night let HIM
self down from a window at Mr. Rice
tavern, and travelled nearly to Wellsviile,
thinking he was going home. He came
back however, and after the trial. was en-
trusted to one Decker, for his safe con
yeyance home. For some reason, | don

This is said to have been on Friday. The

not being able or wiling TO give any ac-

my house, standing still in the road, and

Courier:
ExoRMous BUSINESS FOR ONE Nav YoRK
MERcHANT.-We are happy t. inform our tei-
iow-eitizens that there is one place in our city
where the physician, apothecary, aud country
merchant. can go and purchase pure Wines
and Liquors, as pure as i'm, urted, and OF the
best quality. We dc not intend 10 give an
elaborate description of this merchants ex-
tcnsive business, although it wiz repay any
stranger or citizen TO visit Cdolpho Wolfe,s
extensive warehouse, Nos. l8, 30 snd %,
Beaver street. anu Nos. n, IL and p, Mark
etfeld street. His stock Of Schnapps on hand
ready for shipment could not have been less
than thirty thousand cases the Brandy, some
ten thousand cases-Yintages ofl936 to 1856
and ten Thousand cases of Madeira, Sherry
and Port Wine, Scotch and Irish Whisky,
Jamaica and St. Croix Rum, some very old
and equal to any in this country. He also
had three large cellars, filed with Brandy,
Wine. &c. in casks, under Custom-House key,
ready for bottling. Mr.. Wolfe's sales OF
SchnapDs last year amounted to one hundred
and eighty thousand dozen, and we hope IN
less than Two years he may be equally sue
cessful wiki his Brandies and Wines.
His business merits the patronage OF every
lover of his species. Private families who
wish pure Wines and Liquors for medical Sc
should send their orders direct to Mr. Wolfe,
until every Apothecarv in the land make up
their minds to discard the poisonous stuff from
their shelves, and replace it with Wolte's pure
Wines and Liquors.

mediation Of small dealers in the country. puts
