MINERAL WATER DRINK.--We were pleased to receive the following yesterday, and give it place with pleasure.  It is absolutely necessary, in these times, to be careful in the manufacture of this popular drink:
  We, the undersigned, manufactures of Mineral Water, being convinced that a good article cannot be made, and justice to ourselves and customers done, at a less price than thirty-five cents per dozen, or seventy cents a box, (2 dozen) do agree to sustain the original established price, (seventy cents per box of 2 dozen) believing that by so doing our customers will be supplied with a good article, and the above healthy beverage will maintain its hitherto deserved popularity.
