cession viz: in 1871, 1872, and 1878. His
sudden and melancholy death produced

took place on Sunday afternoon, brought
together an immense concourse OF people
from all parts of the county. four crowded
car loads of passengers coming from Johns
town and other points along the road. Taken
altogether, 1t was most honorable and eiO-
ouent tribute to bis memory. The Cambria

the honored remains. after which Rev. j. n.

together a funeral cortTge fully ere-half

COUNTERFEITING IN MIssOURI.-Some
eight years ago, Brown Weber and Graham,
wholesale druggists in St. Louis, were doing
the largest business in the State of Missouri.
Among other goods they sold large quantities
of Speers Port Grape Wine, which is pro-
nounce6 the purest wine in the market In
1868 one or two members of the irm con-
of this wine by making cheap mixture of
havoring ingredients with whiskey and
water. and called it wine. With this stuff
they filled several thousand bottles, put on a
counterfeit label of Speer wine, and a coun-
terfcit OF Mr.. a fired Speer's signature over
the cork, and Supplied majority OF the
retail druggists throughout the country west
of the Mississippi River, who purchased il
of B. w. & G.. as Speer's genuine Port Grape
Wine. The trick was not discovered until
the consumers returned the stuff TO their
druggists as not fit for use. Hearing of THE
in 1869 Mr.. Speer at once went from New
Jersey to St. Louis, employed detectives,
and traced the head quarters for dealing in
this imitation of his wine to the place of
Brown, W cher and Graham. He commenced
suit for $50, 000. 90 damages in the United
States Court. Such deception on the part
of this house caused them to lose their
business, and before the trial came off the
firm failed, and became worthless. This
stuff is now out of existence, having spoiled
and burst the bottles, so that none is now TO
be found in the market. The large yield
from the New Jersey vineyards the last few
years has enabled Mr.. Sueer to reduce the
price of his wine. His New Jersey Port is
far superior to any heretofore put in the
market none of which Is bottled until four
years old. 1t is prescribed by physicians as
the best and most reliable wine to he had
