Cau.ton-Audactous Counterfeit!

The reputation which, for many years, has at
tached to ''Hostetter's Stomach Bitters," as the
STANDARD TONIC OF THE AGE, and the large de-
mand for the article, not only in the United
States bat elsewhere, have provoked the cupid
tv of the CONTEMPLATING TRIBE, and it has been
extensively SIMULATED and INITIATED by I'M
scrupulous sharpers.
The most daring counterfeit of said article,
which has been attempted, has recently come to
our knowledge. The engraved steel label on bot
lies containing the genuine bltters with Its Deau-
tiful vignette Of st. George and the dragon lts
shield. containing warning against counter
feiters and it's note OF hand for "one cent at the
foot, signed with our firm name, has been copied
an closely. that the fraud can only be detected
on q minute inspection. The dark label is also
well couuterfeited, and the wording on both the
imitation aud genuine. are precisely the same,
| the difference being eimply in the execution OF
the work that of the imitation being somewhat
coorser than the genuine Other counter1ets
| are on the market, which are IN all particulars
the same as described above, with the exception
Of a slight difference in the spelling OF our name
| In addition 20 the above. these counterfelters
have gone 80 far in some instances as to place
strip of paper over the cork and fasten to the
| neck of the bottle. on which is Vlgnette, ano

pearance of our proprietary Q. b. Revenue stamp

Omitted States Interna al Revenue" all OF which
together with additional wording, appear on ou
genuine stamp. The public are, therefore, es
pecially warned against these new CoUETERFEITs
and are advised to purchase Hostetters Stomach
Bitters only of houses whose integrity is aboV
suspicion. The true specific is sold in bottles ea

Wine Drinking.


Messrs. Et2itOrs:-In the Weekly journal
of March 25th find another letter from
Mr.. Froelich, which, for fervor and ex-
travagance Of expression, surpasses his
former communication.
That any one in this enlightened age,
this day OF ''great moral ideas, should
publish to the world that wine-drink1ng
will take man to heaven I regard as dan
gerous to the salvation Of men, to say
nothing of the untold miserIes which IL
inficts upon its victims in this life.
That Mr.. Froelich teaches the doctrine
of salvation by wine drinking, Il. e.l that
drinking wine will carry man to heaven
is plain from his last letter. He quotes
from an anonymous author (Which OF
! course he endorses) the following danger
Gus and heterciox language: "Good vine
makes good blood; good blood causeth
/ good humors; good humors cause good
thoughts; good thoughts bring forth 8ood
works; good works carry man to heaven
EyqO. good wine carrieth man to heaven
Surely my friend must have been laborlng
under that strange and Utopian disease
| known as s'vine on the brain" when he
sent forth the above damnable doctrine to
the world. II any sinful mortal is expect
ing to reach Heaven by such means as
wine.drinking. or the good works which 1t
may prompt, fear he will fall very iar
short of his expectations. This position,
deliberately taken, proves the declaration
that sstri,ae is mocker, strong drink is
raging, and whatsoever is deceived thereby
} is not wise"
The doctrine that wine drinking is g
part of and a promoter of high state OF
= human civilization also deny. The fac
: is when men are poor and unable to drlnE
: costly wines they drink corn whlskey, Du1
as they emerge from poverty they dr1nh
wine because it is more pleasant to the
3 taste: and again affirm that when maj
s gets drunk it makes no difference what h.
g drank, he is as guilty in the sight of Coo
: for being drunk on wine as on corn wins

MILITIA LAws.-The principal changes
which have been made in the militia laws
may be briefly stated as follows The sec
ton requiring each militiaman to take
and subscribe an oath has been rescinded,
and the militia law of the old Revised
Code re-enacted, except that the power OF
appointing officers is vested in the Coy
ernor. Under the law which passed IN
1868, it would have been as much trouble
to have enrolled the militia as to register
the voters of county, and as no compen-
sation was allowed to the enrolling OIL
GERS. no one would act in that capacity
Consequently there was no regular Or
canization of the militia. The difficulties
having been removed, the Adjutant Gen
eral viii now proceed to enroll the entire
militia of the State and nominate officers
for the positions of the line and OF the
staff, We look for an efficient organlza
ton of the physical arm OF the govern
ment. Over ten thousand commissions, L
is computed, will have to be issued tc
