Money Making.

Among the ways now recommended TO
court Fortune We know OF none that carries
more real prospect than the recently in.
vented process Of manufacturing, at light
cost, pure and -healthful ALE. We are
rapidly falling into English and German
habits in the drinking line, and tho sooner
deadly, ..spirituous liquors are abandoned
the better for the country. That some
mean. to relieve depression Of mind will
always be resorted:: to, is proved, kistori.
callv from Noah to the present time and
the kindlier to nature this can be supplied
the better for the human race. Dreamers
may tell Of temperance millennium, but
practicsl observation dissolvcs the moral
mirage and We necessarily como back to
f1cts. &C., .f.
Our fellow citizen J. FRrD KIxBALI, is
the possessor of Patent for tho msnuiac-
ture Of "a pure and kesl,hfur' quality Of

with the common prices Of the day. The
territory owned by Mr.. Kimball includes
Wisconsin, Minnesota and all Iowa north
Of Dubuque. He is ready to negotiate
with parties for manufacturing privileges

The paten. was obtained in 1861 and much
Of the ale We now drink derives its excel
lence in part from the principles embodied
in this process. The Ale is called "Car-
bonized Zsa Major" At the Illinois State
Fair Of 1859 it received the Premium. We
have seen original and iegalizsd copies Of
certificates from eminent chemists and
brewers Of the Northwest, admitting that
the Zea Naior produced "a purer, psle'
and brighter article"-tias II l. 'health

that the '.tussl oil Of decayed grain is ab
sorbed or neutralized in the process" tina
the grain yields larger amount Of sac

saver Of money and promoter Of health
But there is farther important considers
ton a mandatory or brewery can b
started for q .fsu hundred dollars, wher'
the old process costa tens Of thousands
Freight will be saved by manufacturing a
home and the cost to the consumer will b
less. Robertson's Steam Heater, also ,

AFFRtY IN THE FOURTH WARD. - On
Christmas evening an ARRAY occurred at a
saloon on Washington street, which resulted
in a man named Peter Casey, the proprietor Of
the saloon. being seriously, if not fatally
wounded. II seems the party had collected
there and were engaged in throwing dice for
the drinks. II CHANGED that at one Of the
throwings the lot fell upon a man named
Hobbs. notorious character, who refused to
pay for the drinks bVt Knocked the proprietor.

was in turn knocked down and put out of
doors. Returning again in moment he drew
a knife and commenced an indiscriminate cut

three men, among others Casey. who. il il
feared, is fatally stabbed. An ugly cash was
made in his right side. He i being properly
cared for.
We did not learn the names of the other tw o
men who were stabbed. Hobbs has not, n we
are informed, been arrested. although he is
running about Stringtown apparently without
fear Of molestation.
