WHAT Is VINUM WIFE!

This wine 10 prepared to take the place of
Whiskey and other spirits known to be made up
of Fusil Oil aud other deleterious articles. The
Wine of Life 10 distilled with great care. espec-
tally for those who require . healthy stimulant,
an d for the use of Med ica Men and Nurses in
the sick room, in place of the villsinous Brandy,
Whiskey, and other Liquors now in use, and 20
often depended upon. In fact, 1t is a constant
90 mplaint of Physicians in this country, that Ii
is impossible to procure Brandy, Whiskey and
Vino for their patients. We ask the Medi-
cal faculty and the public to give Warmers Vim
um Vita or Wine OF Life = trial, and we ask
chemists and ply sieians to anAlyz it, then speak
of it according to its merits, compare 1t with
Whisky, Brsndy, and other such articles, and
the difference. If they find the Wine Of Life
is pure and wholesome, and the other Liquors
poisonous, (which they certainly will do,) then
they morally bound to prescribe and RECON-
mend the Wine of Life to their patients and
friends o. the best stimulsnt and tonic in use,
an d as . valusble substitute for Whisky and
Brandy but should they find it not pure and
what the proprietors claim for it, let them pub
licly denounce it. 1t is the Physicians duty to
learn and find out which il the most wholesome
stimulant for hispatents, and to do so he mus,
examine andlook into the quality of each article
and learn for himself if the Wine Of Life has any
peculiar merits to warrant its general use. The
proprietors claim the Wine of Life to be more
wholesome and far superior and cheaper than
whiskey or brandy, or, in fact, any other article
in common use, and ought to be used in every
family. Every body should give it = trial. 1t is
q now thing, only boon in use about one yesr,y ct
it has alreads gained great name and q won
derful sale, and whoever once tries ID always
recommends it to his friends. 1t has the same
strength whi,key, but it is peculiarly pleasant,
even delicious, and any one would be crazy to
take whishey, &C., ifhe can get the Wine Of Life.
1t is for sale by Druggists everywhere, in quart
bottles, p,iee one dollar can be bought by the
case containing dozen bottles. for ton dollars
We challenge the world to produce purer,
cheaper, and nicer article than Warmers Vinum
Vita, or Wine of Life. Take . bottle of it home
and give il . trial. doaw -thur-&wly

orauic series illustrating the great epic, will
be exhibited at Hulls Hall tonight, so-mor-
row afternoon and evening. The panorama
has been before the public now for anumber
of years and has achieved wide and fat

warrant of it's excellence, if that be not
assured by the reputation Of the designer,
Mr.. John Martin.
The subject is certainly grand enough

only Of mos, attractive but of the mos
instructive nature. Miss Nellie Anderson
well known young vocalist will appear a

RADICAL OPPOSITION TO DEMOCRATIC
ECONOMY.

In the Daily onion Of Dec. Oath, 1870, il
an article charging Mr.. Lewis Wilson,
chairman .oi the Finance Committee Of the
Board of Supervisors, with being instrumen
tai in having the tax levy cut down, so as to
add about $50, 900 to the county debt At the
end of the year. And referring to . state
| ment made by special committee OF the
Board, at the September Term, showing the
existing indebtedness at that time, which
the onion took occasion to comment upon
| in the weekly of September Oath,
1870, showing total indebtedness
of $l03,7sl. At that time it also referred
to the note of Mitchell & Lyude, censuring
Mr.. Wilson for obtaining money on suen
tens, as are therein stated. Having been
severely rebuked by Judge Lynde for gross
and wiliful miscellaneous IN regard to this
matter it humbly begged of and tried to
excuse il, partisan effort to ipjure Mr.. Viii
son on the plea "a mistake" We will
cow show that its charge against the demo-
cratic Board of increasing the county debt
is also unfounded, and that what ia charged
against Mr.. Wilson should really be charged
to the account of the.republican Board of 1869

WASHINGTON, January 28.-Wm.
ODOnOghue, delegate from the Red
River country, and Secretary of the
Treasury under the late provisional
government of Rupert's Land and
the Northwest Territory, called on
the President to-day, in company
with Senator Ramsey, and presented
him a memorial and petition from
the people Ofthat country, addressed
to President Grant, in which they de-
tail their grievances at length, and
assert that not a single pledge given
by the English and Canadian govern
ments, and to the government Of the
United States, has been kept, and
earnestly appeal to the President to
intercede in their behalf and take all
such steps as he may deem apprOpri-
ate and proper to enable them TO en-
joy the blessing of life, liberty, prop
erty and the pursuit Of happiness un-
der the government Of their own
choice or union with the people with
whom they may think they can en-
Joy those blessings. The President
received O'DonOughue kindly and
expressed sympathy with the people
of British Columbia, and also with
those especially of Nova Scotia and
Prince Edwards Island. He said he
was please to learn the progress they
were all making toward annexation
to this country, and their growing de-
sire to enter our Union, but though
that people thus inclined should raise
the issue at the polls, so as to express
the opinion in definite form, deciding
the question by popular vote. He re-
that he would give the men,
Orial special attention. 1t is prOba-
bic that resolution will be introduce

Butter for Six.

From a picturesque or dramatic
point of view, there was one of the
three thousand shells fired which pro-
duced a startling effect. In the midst
of the firing, nine people sat down to
breakfast in a small house upon the
plateau of Avron. There were the
commander of the Sixth Battalion of
Mobiles of the Seine NJ. Heinsterl his
wife, the Adjutant Of the battalion, a
Captain, two Lieutenants, an Ensign,
a Chaplain and a DOctOr-nearly all
of the same battalion. A Prussian
shell came smashing upon the table
and killed six of the party. The COM
mandant and his wife were wounded.
The only one who escaped unhurt was
the doctor. OF the eight persons who
were killed that day, six belonged to
the little breakfast party. What an
incident for the future novelist. Nine
persons, including a lady, are jesting
over their frugal breakfast, which they
are determined to enjoy in spite of the
cannon. "There wants but a shell to
give US butter" says one of the party.
comes a shell and blows six
of them into eternity, while wound
ing two more, the cOmmandant and
his wife.
