A WONDERFUL BIaTH-MARK.

The Titusville Petroleum. World has
the following: During the Winter of
lS77-7S L. c. Coceli and Alvah Barber
owned and managed concern known
as the "Lowenthali Liquor Store" stu
ated at No. II Center street, Cory,
Pa A small retail business was car
ried on in connection with the whole
sale, and one of the regular customers
was man evidently about 10 years Of
age, in whose appearance and demeanor
there was noticed but one popularity.
Regularly every nine days the stranger
appeared i'll the store with a pint bottle
of ordinary shape, and black. This he
would have filed with the best Bour-
bon, pay for it, drink it's contents
without moving it from his lips, and
without making g single facial contor-
tion, and depart. At the expiration Of
nine days he would reappear, aad go
through the same performance. This
unusually systematic method OF paying
ones respect to Kink Alcohol excited
the curiosity OF the proprietors of the
store, and they resolved, if possible, to
solve the mystery. Accordingly, on
the strangers next appearance, Mr..
Covell ventured to inquire the reason
of so much system in imbibing, and was
rewarded By the stranger leading the
way into the private office and disrob-
ing sufficiently to expose his left thigh.
There, with outlines plainly drawn,
was the figure of bottle, similar in
size and shape to the one already de-
scribed, and of a dark purple color.
Said the bearer: 81 have carried that
5irth-mark nearly seventy years, and
you will observe that at present its
surface is level with the surrounding
flesh. In the course of twenty minutes
after / have drank this liquor the skin
covering the mark will be distendei
like the side Of bottle, and will after
ward slowly subsi2e, until, at the ex-
rhration of nine days, it will present its
present appearance. Then must have
whisky. | think | should die if ] could
not get it; during the nine days have
40 craving for liquor, not the slightest.
After this strange recita, the man
drank his pint OF Bourbon and went
away. During the day, however, he
returned and showed the distended
bottle, exactly as he said it would ap-
pear.

Three years ago they commenced

They won their SUCCESS by pure en-.
