MAKE Your Ows NEArsroor OIL
A correspondent of the Germantown Tel
egraph tells what they do with beeves'
legs in his family: "The hoofs are chop
ped of, and the other portions are cracked
and boiled thoroughly. From the surfec.
of this boiled mass about one pint of pure
neatsfoot oil is skinned, which is unsur-
passed by any other oleaginous matter for
harness. shoes, etc. After the oil is taken
off, the water is strained to separate from
II any fatty PARTICLES that may remain,
and then 1t is boiled again, until, npon
trying, it is found it will settle into stiff
jelly. 1t is then poured into fat botromed
dishes, and when cold, cut into suitable
sized pieces. 1t hardens in few days,
and you will then have a very fine ar,i-
Gle of glue, free from impurities of every
kind, sufficient for family use for twelve.

I'M SUBz CAEAL.-M. Ferdinsnd do
Lesseps gives public notice that his pro-
jeceed Ship-csnal uniting the Red See
With the Mediterranean, was 50 far com.
pieted IN 1864 that daily boat has bee
run from Port SAID to Sues since the Let
OF last month"; large bark, towed By .
steamer, and conveying twenty to thirty
passengers, having passed from sea to sea
within twenty-four hours AS yet the
depth Of water would seem to be but four
or FIVE feet, with width of thirty to forty: :
but it is confidently calculated that the
canal will be prepared for effective trans.
portation BY April, when six steam tugs
are to be ready for service upon it.
This canal is ninety miles long, and is
to have, when completed, . minimum
depth Of twenty feet, with width Of $50
feet At the surface. Il was commenced
in 1859 BY private company, on sub
scribed capital Of $40, 100000. We To-
fer that M. de Lesseps does not expec,
to complete it Immediately, but to deepen
it by degrees without interfering with its
use. A British railroad, 222 miles long,
passing from Alexandria through Cairo
to Suez, has for some years afforded ex-
peditlous transit between the two seas.
The Suez Canal has been favored by
the French Government, but has for some
not very obvious reason, encountered the
jealous hostility Of England. It would
naturally be presumed that the European
nation whose possessions and whose com.
merce In the far East much exceed those
OF all her rivals. would welcome and sup.
port every enterprise whereby India,
China and Japan are rendered more
cheaply and readily accessible.

upon the market in great number, calculated
by their utter worthlessness to injure the rep.
utation of our genuine products, to protect
our own interests and the public from impo-
sition, we again publish the trade marks by
which our Watches may invariably be
known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches.
The first has the name
AMERICAN WATCH CO., Waltham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The second has the name
"APPLETON. TRACY Il Co., Waltham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The third has the name
"P. S. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass, i" en-
graved on the inside plate.
All the above STYLES have the name Amer
lean Watch Co. painted on the dial, and are
warranted in every respect.
The fourth has the name
VIM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved
on the inside plate, and is not named on the
dial. .ssstT
Ali the above described watches are made
OF various sizes, and are sold In gold or sll
YER cases, as may be required.
1t is hardly possible for to accurately
describe the numerous limitations to which
we have alluded. They are usually desorib-
ed with names nearly approaching our
own as to escape the observation OF the un.
accustomed buyer. Some are represented as
made by the Union Watch Co., OF Boston,
Mass. "-no such company existing. Some
are named n the Soldiers Watch" to be
sold as our fourth or VIM. Ellery style, usu-
ally known as the Soldiers Watch" 9th
ers are named the Appleton Watch Co. :"
Others the 'P 5 Bartiey," instead OF our
.'P S. Bartiett;" besides many varieties
named in such a manner as TO convey the
idea that they are the veritable productions
OF the American Watch Company.
We also caution the public, and particular
ly soldiers. against buying certain articles
