A CHANCE TO GET Coon DoNATIoN.-
The Union, of Monday, published commu-
nieation from J. NJ. Beardsley, containing
half a column of quite unimportant nonsense,
old ISLANDERS, revamped, radical slang which
has often been exposed and refuted, and one
idea to which we call attention, viz that
we have published and slandered'' "gen
erous and noble lady" We deny the charge
and we make J. NJ. Beardsley the following
offer We will contribute $500 to any pub
lie charitable object or institution he may
name, if he viii prove his charge. He shall
have the free use of our files to find evidence
of the truthfulness of his statement, and we
viii leave the decision of the question to the
three republicans named in our Saturdays
paper. Failing to prove his assertion he
shall publicly acknowledge that he has SIAN
dered US. VIII he furnish proof of his as
sertion and take the $500? Or, failing to
do 80, will he retract his Ignorant or inten'
tional' Islander?
D1srILLERY SEIzED.-We learn that the
distillery of Mr.. Jacob Frysinger, at Camden
Mills, in this county, together with all the
fixtures, apparatus, &c, &c, was seized, to-
day (the 27th)by Elijah Garter Esq. deputy
collector of internal revenue for this county,
for violations of the United States revenue
law, committed in the year 1866. There
are 90 barrels ofhighwines in the warehouse,
1000 bushels of corn in the crib, and few
hundred bushels of other grain, all of which
was also seized.
The distillery has not been running since
the middle of last December. 1t is nearly
new establishment and valuable piece OF
property, capable of running 1000 gallons a
day:
Should the charges of fraud upon the rev
enue be sustained, the whole property will
be forfeited to the United States, and sold at
auction, at some future day. If not sustain
ed then the property will be restored to Mr..
Frysinger.
