Both dealers and consumers can rely upon the character ot the products of this firm, both in general and in particular, and we have no hesitancy in recommending them to our readers. Although we have no personal interest in the matter whatsoever, we believe in the policy, ‘‘merit to whom merit is due.’’ In the light of too frequent adulterations and preparations of liquors, it behooves every one to scrutinize every brand, but, from the lack of proper facilities, such precautions are often neglected.

Bishop returned this afternoon from Princeton, where he sat as speciol judge in a case of Hodge against the Lilinois Central. ‘The plaintiff claimed the company bailt a water tank so near his home that the smoke, cinders and water, whenftrains stopped for water,® ren- deved his home unhabitable.
