DRINCE IMPERIAL CHAMPAGNE. From

by all respectable dealers throug hout the country.
This fine brand of CHAMPAGNE, which until the
past year was confined exclusively to the best Ia
bcs Of the Continent Of Europe, has now obtained
the most unbounded success and popularity in this
country. 1t is recommended by some Of the first
Physicians of the City of New York, over all other
wines, on account Of its extreme purity and deli
cacy, and those who once try it rarely use any
other brand. Although only one year has elapsed
since its Introduction into this country, the de
mand is enormous and constantly increasing. Our
arrangements are such as to ensure the quality OF
the Wine being maintained at its present high STAN
dard. The Prince Imperial is imported solely by
Us, we being the sole Agents of MessrS. De Eenose

n. i. Read the following from the Evening
Star of December ;, 1859:
"A REMARKABLY FINE ALE.-Mr. Davison's
successor in the Washington Brewery, of
and 9th Streets Mr.. Colincau, is now manufac-
turing Xxx ale and porter and brown stout, all of
which reflect infinite credit his establishment.
His ale compares favorably, indeed, with the best
Philadelphia and Albany ales. being, according
to our TASTE much more like the best English and
Scotch ales than those imported from either of
those cities. If he continues to produce Supe-
rior an article, he will shortly make a reputation
for his brewery surprising that of any Northern
establishment"

A NAUGHTY MAN.-The unfortunate wife of
one George w. Burtt publishes a card in an
exchange paper, in which she warns man
and womankind " against her husband, and
asks the press everywhere to ss be good
enough to copy this warning" She says he
has been married fifteen years to respectable
woman. during which time he has deceived
several other women, and twice again married.
He was at one time sentenced to five years.
Imprisonment in the New Jersey State Pri-
son, and through the exertions of his wife
was pardoned ont after service of nine
months. George w. Burtt is six feet two
inches high, rather slim, spare face, blue
eyes, dark brown hair, wears very heavy
watch chain, and very large ring on his left
hand, one tooth out of under-jaw, trades in
watches, repairs clocks, &C., carries a small
leather trunk well ornamented with brass nails,
&C., &c. He is smooth man, and well-calcu-
lated to deceive the omen. He has escaped,
and officers are now after him.

terrible affair happened recently at She'll
bank, Texas. A Mr.. Stephenson sold piece of
land to Gen. Bishop, and after the purchaser had
made improvements on the land, Stephenson want
ed to get it back for the same amount he had paid
for it, but his proposition refused by Bishop
This incensed Stephenson, and accordingly he,
with his wife. son and daughter, went to General
Bishops house, where they found young John
Bishop sick in bed. The wife and daughter held
the sick man down while young Stephenson cut
him literally to pieces with knife, killing him
almost imm edately While this was going on,
Gen. Bishop knocked out the eye of the elder Ste
phenson with hatchet. The Stephensons were
subsequently, arrested

WHAT THE RUMMIEs DRINK.-We see it
stated that chemist in New York has anal
yzed sixteen samples of wines, Port, Sherry,
and Madeira-in which not one drop of the
juice Of the grape was found. The basis of the
Port wine was diluted sulphurc acid, colored
with elderberry juice, with alum, sugar, and
neutral spirits. The basis of the Sherry wine
was pale malt, sulphuric acid from bitter al
monds, with percentage of alcoholic spirits
from brandy. The Madeira wine was a decoc-
tion of hops, sulphuric acid, honey, Jamaica
spirits, &c.
