Probable Murder in BrushcreeIx
Township

Probable Murder in BrushcreeIx
Township
We learn that on Wednesday even
ing of last week, just before dusk,
Jesse Forkner, living near Carmel,
Brushcreek tp., was shot by John w.
Wisecup. Forkner was chopping
wood in his yard, when Wisecup fired
at him from behind a tree or stump
about 80 yards distant, the ball enter
ing Forkners left side, just above the
hip, passing upward, but as he fell he
says he saw Wisecup run from his hid
ing place with his gun in his hand.
There had previously been some quar-
rel between them, and on the examina-
ton Of Wisecup before Esq. Turner,
witnesses testified that they had heard
him threaten to kill Forkncr. Fork
ner was a tenant, living on Wisecup's
land. Wisecup was admitted to bail
in the sum of $1,000, the magistrate
supposing at the time that the wound
would not prove fatal, but we learn that
on Monday last there were little hopes
of Forkner's recovery, aud that Wise
cup would be re-arrested .-HllSboro

DEAR SIR: The want Of pure Wines and
Liquors, for medicinal purposes, has been
long felt by the profession, and thousands
or lives have been sacrificed by the use Of
"o1Ato, "'e.t afticies. Dellrlum tremene,
and other diseases Of the brain and nerves,
so rife in this country. are very rare in
Europe; owing, in great degree, to the
difference in the purity of the spirits sold
we have tested the several articles i'm
ported and sold by you, including your
matio Schiedam Schnapps, which we con-
slider justly entitled to the high reputation
it has acquired in this country; and, from
your long experience as foreign impor-
ter, your Bottled Wines and Liquors
should meet with the same demand.
we would recommend you to appoint
some OF the respectable apothecaries in
different parts of the city as agents for the
sale OF your Brandies and Wines, where
the profession can obtain the same when
needed for medicinal purposes.
Mlshlng you success IN your new enter
prise, we remain your obedient servants.
