MILToN's WATCH.
A poor family in this county lately
received box from America, as part
Of the effects of an aged relative, whose
ancestors had emigrated to that con-
tinent soon after the time of the COM
monwealth the box contained sevral
coins Of the reign of Elizabeth, James,
and Charles l. and faw of the Pro-
tectorate, but none Of late date. With
the coins there was an old watch, and
the family to whom the bequest came
being INDECENT, sold the whole to sill
versmith, who was also matchmaker.
The purchaser gave the full price for
the coins, but refused to give more for
the watch than the value Of the silver
case, Is. Sd. The work with the face
on, (Which looked like irony were left
in drawer frequently opened. AZ
ter while the friction on the face
allowed it to be silver, with an inscrip-
ton on it. This being deciphered by
clearing the metal, was found to be
johann Miltono, 1924" and con-
tanned also the name of the maker, a
person in Pope's Head Alley, London,
whose name appears in the tables Of
the watch maker company for that pc
Rod. Yorkshire (Eng.) paper
.Adse,at Min0ed7ess. A young
married woman in Baltimore the 9TH
erday, nnconsciously threw her babe
into the cooking stove, and was dis
covered very affectionately nursing a
leg Of mutton! An instance of absence
ofmind which occurred in this town
on Thursday, may not imbody much
comicality, but has the advantage at
least Of coming very near the truth.
q lady having some clean shirts and a
pan Of ashes to dispose Of, threw the
elsirts into an ash-barrel, and carefully
deposited the ashes in bureeu drawer.
TIE electi0neering Candidate
For the first time in the history Of this
country, we find candidate for the
Presidency, traversing the land as an
open-molthed electioneercr for that
high and dignifed station. It is true,
that Henry Clay, whilst Secretary Of
State, did play the active and noisy
partizan in behalf Of Mr.. Adams; but
never did Mr.. Adams SO debase and de-
mean himself, as to canvass the differ
emit States for the purpose of obtaining
votes. What contrast between the
bank Candidate, Harrison, and Mr..
On buren,, the candidate Of the har-
~ yeomanry ofthe land. Whilst the
former is levelling himself beneath the
condition Of an electioneering consta-
PIE, the latter remains quietly and
steadiiy at home, awaiting the iavora-
bic verdict Of an admiring and grateful
people. Sad and deplorable, indeed.
will be our condition, when the neo.
pie, Of this country become so debased
and degraded, as to cast their votes for
this wing slanderer Of the poor. and
reyiler Of the honest democracy Of the
union: The presidency Of this great
republic, Is too high prize to be gam
bled for by the stock jobbers and spe-
culators who are supporting Harrison;
but should be the voluntary gift Of the
sturdy yeomanry Of the nation. The
IDEAS Of November will teach the bank
candidate, that there is too much solid
Y. virtue 10 the people, to countenance
I'M. !. aoominable system of electioneer-
ing, which he Is practicing, and which
ne seems Hesirous to bring into Gus
