CAUTION FROM THE
American Watch Co.

It having come to our knowledge that limitations
of the American Watch have been put upon the
market in great number. calculated by their utter
worthlessness to Injure the reputation OF our gem
uIne products, to protect our own interests and
the public from imposition, again publish the
trade marks by which our Watches may nvarabiy
be known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches.
The First has the name
ssAMERICAN WATCH co. Waltham, Mass, -
engraved the inside plate.
The Second has the name
"APPLETON, TRACY CO, Waltham,
Mass, - engraved on the iusd e plate.
The Third mas the name
sP. S BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass" ell
graved on the inside plate
All the above sty les have the name American
every respect.
The Fourth has the name
''WM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass, p engraved on
the inside plate, and Is not n1med on the dial.
All the above descr he'd Watches are made OF
various sizes, and sold IN gold silver cases,
may be required.
It is hardly possible for TO accurately des-
cribe the numerous limitations to which we have
alluded. They usually inscribed with names
so nearly approaching our own to escape the
observation of the unaccustomed buyer. Some
are represented as made by the ''UnIon Watch
Co, OF Boston, Mass.''-no such company exist
ing. Some are named the ssSoidier's Watch to
be sold Fourth or VIM. Ellery style, usu-
ally known the Soldiers Watch,'' Others
are named the appleton Watch Co. - others
the s'P. S. BARLEY - instead OF our sFP S. Bart
lett;'' besides many varieties named in such a
manner as to convey the idea That they the
Variable productions of the American Watch
Company.
We also caution the public, and particularly
soldiers, against buying certain articles called
Watches, freely advertised in illustrated papers
"Army Watches - s. Officers Watches -
ssMagic Time Observers - sSArcana Watches
&C., the prices OF which stated to be from
seven to sixteen dollars. good Watch, in these
times, cannot be afforded for any such money.
little attention on the part of buyers will
protect them from gross imposition.

mains were deposited in Oakwood Cemetery,
nearly two miles from the city. The vault
at this place is erected at the foot of a
knoll in beautiful part of the grounds,
which contains forest trees of all varieties
1t has doric gable resting on pilasters,
the main wall being rustic The vault is
fifteen feet high and about the same in
width, with semi-circular wings of brick
projecting from the hll-sides. The materi-
al is lime stone, procured at Joliet, Ill.,.
Directly inside of the ponderous doors is an
iron grating. The interior walls are cover
with black velvet, dotted with ever
greens. In the center of the vault is
foundation of brick capped with marble
slab, on which the coffin rests The front
of the vault is trimmed with evergreens
The Dead March in "Saul" was sung, ac-
companied by the band, as the remains
were deposited.
THE seENE
Thousands of persons were assembled at
the cemetery before the arrival of the pro-
cession, occupying the succession of green
hills. The scene was one of solemnly in
tense interest. The landscape was beauti-
full in the light of an unclouded sun.
EXERCISES.
The religious exercises were commenced
by the singing of a dirge. Then followed
the reading Of appropriate portions of the
scriptures and prayer After a hymn by
the choir, the Rev. Mr. Hubbard read the
last inaugural of President Lincoln. Next
a dirge was sung by the choir, when Bishop
Simpson delivered the funeral oration.-
1t was in the highest degree eloquent, and
the patriotic portions Of it were applauded.
Then followed another hymn, when bene-
diction was pronounced by the Rev. Doctor.
The procession was then reformed and re-
turned to the city.

PEACE MOVEMENTS.

Among the most notable signs of peace
now chronicled is the fact that President
Johnson has made general Jail delivery
of all prisoners of war and political offen-
ders One hundred and fifty such were re-
leased from Fort McHenry, Baltimore har-
Dor, on the I'd, and deliveries of the same
sort have been ordered at other places. The
prisoners taken during the war are, of
course, no longer proper subjects of deten-
ton, as we cannot exchange them. Their
number has been very large, but they have
been so distributed about the country that
the public has known little or nothing in
regard to them The class of political of
tenders incarcerated is composed ofpersons
mostly taken at the north for endeavoring
to aid the enemy This general release
will be accompanied by no ill effects to the
cause of order and freedom, for the rebel
soldiers will be glad of the opportunity to
return to their homes and remain quiet, and
the others have now no rebel cause to aid.
NOU Ine ledSG lIlpol tdn1 0ohoiuCiaeioi III
the matter is that large amount of money
will be saved to the government by this
measure.
By order of the President, the Secretary
of War has revoked the order of Novem
Der 81, 1862, prohibiting the expectation
of ammunition and arms and also the or
der of May ?, 1865, prohibiting the expor-
tation of horses, mules and live stock
Thus another of the numerous restrictions
on commerce incident to the war disap-
pears with the cause which produced it,and
our shippers are once more free to supply
arms. ammunition, horses and live stock to
whomsoever they find it profitable to deal
with To the American manufacturers OF
firearms this change is of the utmost i'm
portance Their great customer, the gov
ernment, being out of the market, they can
now go abroad seeking others all over the
world In the progress of the Mexican
troubles this freedom may become of great
Importance.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.

Twenty-one States, including Louisiana,
Tennessee and Arkansas, have now, through
their Legislatures, ratified the Constitution
al Amendment abolshing Slavery. There
is no doubt but that Hampshire Con
necticut, Iowa, Oregon and California will
follow their example in due season. The
assent of but one more member of the
Union will then be required to make the
Amendment the law of the land, provided
Louisiana. Tennessee and Arkansas are
recognised as organised States. Some ex-
Slave State will, in that case, have the hon
or of giving the casting vote for Freedom.
VIII it be Kentucky, North Carolina or
Florida AS to Delaware and New-Jersey,
they occupy the unenviable position of dogs
in the manger, endeavoring to delay what
they cannot hope to prevent. The Amend
ment will be passed inspite of them, and by
the votes of States thousand times more
deeply interested in the perpetuity of the
accursed institution, and more vitality affect
ed by it's abolition, than these free and
semi-free menials of the Slave power have
ever been, or ever can be.
