The case of Mrs Isabel Ould, who shot and
severely wounded Robert H. Meade, Of this
city, her reputed affanced, came up before the
Mayor Of Richmond last Saturday morning.
The Richmond Times thus describes the trial:
ssMrs Ould being called, approached the stand,
attended By her counsel Mr.. Marmaduke
johnson, and followed by Meade, the. victim
of her frenzied wrath. She was attired in
light green debege, straw hat trimed with black
velvet, black lace and thick brown wells thrown
over the same, and was enveloped with a
heavy, dingy brown gentleman's shawl. In
personal appearance she might be considered
grossly good looking, about thirty years Of age,
and In the enjoyment Of fine health, though
disseminated and disturbed In spirits. During
the occupancy of her seat in front of the presi-
ding officer, she maintained decorous reserve;
but her eyes, when they occasionally turned
towards Meade, her former lover, who stood
at her right, would suddenly brighten up with
wild brilliancy, denoting the reflex of inward
feelings of happiness and misery mixed togeth-
err Owing to the absence of witnesses, the case
was postponed until Thursday.
Aswill be seen BY an a1a7ertisementint to- day S
Gazette, that the evening passenger trains on
the Orange & Alexandria Railroad are discon-
tinued We have not learned the cause of this
change Of schedule, but presume the travel will
not justify the expense. The facilities for
freight transportation have not, we understand,
been sufficient, of late, and consequently an
immense amount Of cotton has accumulated at
Lynchburg. The discontinuance Of the night
passenger train will enable the road to bring
this cotton to Alexandria, at once, and it may
have been done for that purpose The night
passenger train on the Central Road has, as we
stated yesterday, also been discontinued, but
an accommodation train is to be- started, the
time and circumstances of which will be made
known hereafter.

A FEW REASONS WHY THE
I'M ERICAN WATCH
rs TIFF REST


1t is made the best principle while the foreign
watch is generally made on no principle at all. The
foreign watch is mostly made by women and boys,
az HAND. While their labor is cheap, heir work
is dear at any price. Such watches are made With
out plan, and sold without guarantee. They are ir-
regular in construction, and quite irregular in
movement. They are designed only 10 sell, and
the buyer is the party most thoroughly sold. Those
who have kept ''ancres,'' 'lepines," and ssSwfss
levers" in professed repair for few years will APP
preciate the truth of statement
The PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH.
lastead OF being made of several hundred little
pieces, screwed together, the body of the American
Watch is formed of SOLID PLATES. No jar in
terferes with the harmony of its working, and no
sudden shock throw its machinery out of gear
In -iding any business pursuit, il is all held to-
getker as firmly as single piece of metal. 1t is
just what al machinery should be-
LIST. ACCURATE. ID. SIMPLE. Sd, STRONG.
4th. ECONOMICAL,
We not only secnge CHEA Pf, ESS by our system,
but QUALITY. We do nor pretend that our Watch
DE bought tor less money than the foreign make
believes but that for Its real value is is sold for one
half the price.
OUR SOLDIERS WATCH fnsned VIM. EIery)
is what Its indicates--Sold, Substantial, and
always Relable-warranted to stand any amount Of
Marching, Riding OF Fighting.
OUR NEXT HIGHER QUALITY OF WATCH
(named P. S. BartetD is siml Al in size and general
appearance, but has more jewels, and more elab-
crate finish.
OUR LADIES' WATCH, recently brought out,
is put up IN great variety of patterns, many of
them Of rare beauty and workmanship, is quite
small, but warranted TO KEEP TTME.
THE PROOF of the merits of our Watch may be
found in the fact that now employ over seven
sundred workmen in our factories, and that we are
still unable to supply the constantly increasing de-
mand.
OUR THREE-QUARTE2 PLATE WATCH is
thinner and lighter than the others We have desert
bed. Its fine chrouometer balance is deiicately ad-
usted 10 correct the riation caused by changes 0!
temperature. These watches are the fruits of the
latest experiments 10 chronometry, and are made
by our best wOrkmen, in a separate department Of
our flctory. For the finest time keeping qualities
they challenge comparison with the best works of
the most famous English and Swiss makers
