THE OHIO LEGISLATURE.
Fanny, March "a, 1866.
SENATE.
MORNING. SESSION.

MORNING SESSION.
The following bills wered passed:
Senate bill to authorize the rebuilding OF
any bridge which may have been burned by
reason of proximity to any railroad track,
at the same or at another point.
Mr.. COnverse's Senate bill, authorizing
the Commissioners of Franklin county tC
levy a special tax to constructs bridge over
the Scioto river at the foot of Town street
in the city of Columbus.
House bill to authorize the sureties OF
county officers, especially of shcriffs, to
withdraw their bonds upon giving timely
notice to the county commissioners.
A communication was received from the
Governor, in reference to the resolution OF
the Senate, inquiring as to the expediency
of establishing printing bureau, and what
the diminutiOn in the cost of the public
printing would be, if it were executed by
the inmates of the Deaf and Dumb Asy-
lum. The Governor states that the State
printing cost last year $4,000, and
that it win cost this year about $4,000,
owing to the high rate at which the
contract for the printing was awarded last
fall by the State officers who had no discre-
tion in the matter, as but one bid was offer
ed, and that was decisive. If the printing
were to be done by the inmates of the Deaf
and Dumb Asylum, building and the
necessary material would be required, after
which he estimates the public printing
could be done for about $20000a year. He,
therefore, recommends the transfer of the
State printing to the Deaf and Dumb Asy-
lum, as likely to prove beneficial to the in
mates of that institution and source OF
economy to the State.
The following bills were passed:
Senate bill to amend section 517 of the
code of civil procedure. IN
House bill to authorize the city of Piqua
to issue bonds to liquidate Indebtedness
heretofore incurred. Recess.
AFTERNOON SESSION. -.,.r

Mr.. Vests resolution for the appointment
of acommittee of three to proceed to-mor-
row to Mount Union, Knox county, and

Idiotic Asylum, it was amended by addingto
said committee, the chairmen of the Reform
Farm School, aud of the Idiotic Asylum
committees, and adopted. Messrs. Newton,
Stevenson and Martin were appointed said
committee of three.
The House General Appropriation bill
was taken up, and, after the adoption of
numerous amendments, the bill was laid

SPECIAL NOTICES.,
AFEw REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
IsE BEST.

1t is made on the best principle. while the foreign
watch isgenerally made on no principle atalI. Tho
foreign watch is mostly made by women and boys.
BY HAND. While theirlabor is cheap, their work Ia
dear at any price. Such watches are made without
plan, and sold without guarantee They are irroe-
uarn construction, and quite as irregular in moyos
ment. They are designed only to sell, and the buy-
or is the party most thoroughly sold. Those wbo
have kept "aucres," "lepines" and 'Swiss leyers,,
nprofessed repair for a few years will appreciate
the truth of our statement.
THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH.
| Instead of being made OF several hundred little
pieces screwed together the body of tho American
Watch is formed Of SOLID PLATES. No jar in
terferes with the harmony Of its working and no
sudden shock can throw its machinery out OF gear.
In riding any business pursuit. it is all held TO-
gether as firmly single piece of metal. II is Just
what all machinery should be-
1st. ACCURATE. cd. SIMPLE. Sd. STRONG.
4th. ECONOMICAL.
We not only secure CHEAPNESS by our system,
but QUALITY. We do not pretend that our Watch
oan be bought for less money than the foreign make
6eliece but for its real value it is sold for one-haf
the price.
OUR SOLDIERS WATCH (named VIM. Ellery)
is what its name indicates Solid. Substantial, and
always Reliable-warranted to stand any amount Of
Marching, Riding or Fighting.
OUR NEXT HIGHEST QUALITY OF WATCH
(named P. s. BARTLETT issimilar in size and general
appearance but has more jewels, and more elabor-
ate finish " fftt tf"&
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 time.
OUR YOUNG GENTLEMAN'S WATCH is
neat not large, and Just the thing for the pocket Of
Young America. "' r'4'
TIL PROOF Of the merits of our Watch may be
found in the fact that we now employ over seven
hundred workmen in our factories, and that we arc
still unable to supply the constantly increasing de-
mand. 'tf 'i @A
OUR THREE-QUARTER PLATE WATCH is
thinner and lighter than the others we have descrb-
ed. Its fine chronometer balance is delicately ad-
justed to correct the vibration caused by changes Of
temperature. These watches arc the fruits of the
latest experiments in chronometry. and are made by
our best workmen, in separate department of our
factory For the finest time keeping qualities they
challenge comparison with the best works Of the
most famous English and Swiss makers.

New YoRK, August 3O.-Thc Mon

r1ved off Father Point yesterday, with
European advices to the 18th inst.
one day later than those received by
the City of Washington.
Anxieties and speculations as to the
fate of the cable were put an end
to by the safe arrival of the Great
Eastern In Crookhaven on the morn
ing of the, 18th inst. Her news seems
to have produced favorable impress
sion, and the telegraph shares recover
cd three-quarters per cent. It was
supposed that immediate efforts would
be made to resume the laying of the
cable; but on this point nothing
definite would be known until the
2lst inst, when meetings of the
Cable Maintenance and Telegraph
Companies would be held.

New York Money Market.

Ihc gold market WAS firm, and coin
rather scarce for delivery. The differ
ence between the c;tsh and regular
prices ranged from M eighth to a six
teenth-the latter being freely bid.
The demand for custom duties is very
large, the total receipts Mt this port,
yesterday, having amounted to $G59,
'ooo; but there Is reason for supposinc
that the Government is regularly dis
posing of the greater portion, if not
the whole. of its current receipts. so
temporarily neutralizing the effect of
the daily demand from importers.
The opening price was 1441, from
which there was an advance to 1441lll,

Foreign exchange is dull, cotwith-
standing the large prcponderance of
imports over exports. The leading
drawers are not disposed to relax their

'cllned to defer their remittances.

The extraordinary decline in the re-
cent lmportations of corn from Ame-
rica has been less noticed than IL
ought to have been. The trnde seems
almost suspended. In the half year
ending June 80, 1863, the United
States furnished IS per cent. of our
whole importation of breadstuffs: in
1864, 3S per cent, md in 1865, only
three. The difference, which has been

flclency of labor in the Western States

but which were found in his posses
sion. 1t is further believed that those
who caused his arrest, now regret
their part in the affair, and that those
who made advances on the checks are
not in the'least desirous of prosecut-
ing the forger. It is to be hoped,
however, that Notwithstanding this
Wall street apathy, and the demorali-
zation it indicates, the District Attor-
ney will not fail of prosecuting the
matter to the extremity of the powers

THE THOUSAND ISLES. Es.-There are
said to be literally thousand islands
clustering in the broad neck or estuary
of the st. Lawrence. Many of them
can scarcely afford foot-hold to a bird;
others support a single miniature tree;
some sustain hugo masses of rock,
piled in eccentric forms, and holding
IN their crevices the palms of climb
ing vines; n few are large and heavy,
with turf and woodland, and all are
verdant as spring; voyage around
them is like the reading Of poem or
the passing of dream; one seems to
be far aloft in q balloon, gazing ut the
diminished land or sea; for were there
but little folk to inhabit these piymy
continents, we should have Liliput in
deed. Here, in winter, the drift ice
heaps up crags and monuments, and
the foes and fields crush up in sum
mer, as if they would bear the thou
sand isles away to their Arctic home;
the wild birds bring forth their young
upon the surface; the cold spawn of
the fishes grows warm and vital be-
meath; the stripe and spotted snake
hes among their debris, charming the
sparrow and the blue jay; and the
wolf passing from land to land, halts
here In the dead midnight to howl.
Not human being tenants the thou
sand isles; they are sprinkled here and
there In wondrous irregularity; the
deep r1ver winds in and out among
them as if lost or tarrying; and the
