tresses which he has just torn from. tho
head OF defencelesa female. We would
not paint u sinister assassin, disguised and
bludgeoned, creeping with stealthy, cat
like tread into the presence of his sleeping
victim. These are all horrid enough: but
there are blacker devils than they upon
the earth.
This is how wo should paint him He
should be 4 man courted and petted in So
ciety, parlor favorite, handsome as an
Adonis. We would throw long, wavy locks
around his finely proportional head. We
would clothe him in fine raiment He
should move in brilliant halls, and be tho

should seeming ~ he listeners to his elo-

him with their sweetest smiles
But there should be background to the

REASON WHY THE
AGaERHGAFa WATCH,
Made at WaItnam, Mass,
Is THE BEST.

Tt is made on tie best principles. It's frame
is composed of SOLID PLATES, NO jar can
interfere with the harmony of its working and
no Sudden shock can damage its machinery
Every piece is made and finished by machinery
(itself famous for is novelty, as well as for
its elIectivcness) and is therefore properly
made. The watch is what all mechanisnr
should be-ACCURATE, SIMPLE, STRONG
AND ECONOMICAL. Except SONG high
grades, too costly for general use, foreign
watches are chiefly made by women and boys.
Such watches are composed Ofseyeral hundred
pieces, screwed and riYeted together, and re-
quire constant repairs to keep them in any
kind of order. All persons who have carried
iancres" "lepines" and English Patent
Levers" are perfectly well aware of the truth
of this statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise, more
than ten years ago, 1t was orr first object to
make thoroughly good w-priced watch for
the million, to take the place of these foreign
impositions-the refuse of foreign factories
which were entirely unsqleabe at home and
perfectly worthless everywhere.
How well we have accomplished this may
be understood from the fact, that after SO
many wears Of public trial we now make MORE
THAN HALFOF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD
IN THE UNITED STATES, and that no others
have ever given such universal satisfaction.
While this department of our business is con-
timed wish increased facilities for perfect
work, we are at present engaged in the man
ufacture Of watches of the very HIGHEST
GRADE KNOWN TO CHRONOMETRY, un-
equalled by anything hitherto made by our
selves, and unsurpassed by anything made in
the world. For this purpose we have the
ample facilities. Wehave erected an addition
to our main buildings expressly for this branch
of our business, and have filled it with the
! best workmen in onr service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed, whlch
perform their work with consumate delicac!
and eXactness The choicest and most aP'
proved materials only are used and we chaI-
lenge comparison between this grade OF our
work and the finest imported chronometers'
We do not pretend to sell our watches iUi
less money than foreign watches, but we to
assert without fear Of contradiction thai IT-
the same money our product is incompar"o!
superior. All our watches, of whatever 9'"1SS
are fully warranted and his warrantee IS goouu
at all times against us or our agents IN ."

Every chamber then should be arranged
to have a ventiIating process going on all
the time, at least by having an open fire
place in it; and rs there can he no advan-
tage, but positive injury, resulting from
sleeping in any room colder than forty de
grees above zero of Fahrenheit, little fire
should be kept burning in the CRATE or
fire place, under such circumstances; tins
creates draft up the chimney, and keeps
the atmosphere Of a sleeping compar
ativeIy pure In cases where an actual
fire cannot be kept, an admirable substitute
will be found in placing lamp in the fire
place to be kept burning all night; this
creates draft without making much heat,
and is a good means of ventiIating sick
chamber when warmth is not desirable
such, for example, as in measles, scarlet fe
yer, and other skin diseases, where a cool
air, aud at the same time pure one, is an
indispensable means of safe and speedy
cure. But let it be always borne in mind
that cold air is uot necessarily pure, nor is
warm air necessarily impure With a
little fire in cold bedroom, not only is the
chamber kept ventilated but fewer bed
clothes are needed less clothing does more
good next day, while there is treer escape
Of gases and exbalations from the body of
the sleeper, and the person wakes up IN
the morning more fresh and vigorous.

G5g" The TiogG Agitator says: We have re-
ceved the following report of preliminary
meeting to consider the subject of butter and
cheese factory, to be established in or near this
borough:
"The farmers in the vicinity of Wellsboro
met last Saturday at the Court House, to take
into consideration the building of butter and
cheese factory.
Ira johnson, Esq. was called to the chair,
and W. A. Nichols, Esq, elected Secretary. A
letter was read from gentleman residing in the
State of Now York, who is operating factory
of this kind with grnat success, This gentle
man estimates the cost of building such fac
tory at from $4,000 to $4,000, and that fac
tory that will use the milk from 500 cows will
clear above all expenses $4,000 each season, an
average profit of SlOO on each COW. 1t is pro-
posed to build a butter and choose factory near
This place, to use the milk of 500 to 100 cows
Why cannot the farmers in this vicinity
make a similar effort. 1t surely would "pay''
If the calculations made by Other are only halt
rcbt Something must be done by the land
owners and others in this county to increase
tho busiuess and value of land or we will pass
ranidlv back to the position we occupied 90
vears apo. A gentleman who had OCCASION a
| few days since, to look into the census of this
county and prepare, for some business purpose
an estimate of the present population says that
If n,st he as much rs 1000 less than it was in
1860. That the county is not gaining in pop
ulation or wealth is very certain. 1t is true
tnat many of our farmers are making money
and many of them have decided their land since
the war began, but it is not probable that pro
duce Will command anything like the prices the
next five years that it has in the past five years
This is a matter of interest to US ALL rich anC
poor There is plenty Of Capital in the county
If it was emily turned into such channels a:
would gam increased immigration. Let thu
effort be made.

Wednesday, Oct. "a, 1856,

Whereas, the Great Creator has been pleased
in his all-wlse providence to remove our worthy
Brother, Past Master TIMOTHY IVES, from the
cares and perplexities of this transitory exls-
tence,
And Whereas, it becomes Us rs Lodge to
recognize in beftting manner the departure
of the brother who has been summoned to the
land where our fathers have gone before Hs,and
to pay fitting tribute to his memory, There
fore, be it
Resolved, That in the death of our worthy
friend and brother. the inst tuition of Free =
Masonry has been deprived of one of its most
earnest friends and supporters, and our Lodge
its greatest benefactor, and we might almost say
its founder, for to his eXertions we are princl-
palv indebted for the warrant under which we
work.
Resolved, That his loss will be deeply felt
not only by the fraternity as one of its ruest
members, but also bv the whole community as
a citizen and neighbor, to whom he has endear-
ed himself by his many acts of neghborly kind
ness and by his noble generosity to the poor
and suffering.
Resolved That to his widow and immediate
relatives and friends who most deeply feel this
loss we have all sustained, in this the hour of
their desolahon, we can only say that we deeply
and most sincerely sympathiZe with them IN
their great aff1iction ann reverently point to
Him who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb
as the true source of consolation.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions be
presented to the widow of our deceased brother
and that they be engrossed upon the Minutes Of
the Lodge, and published.

T1oGA CoUNTY.-This noble stronghold
of intelligence, and consequently Of Repnb-
licanism, is sufficient of itself to elect rad
ical to Congress against all the rest of the
counties in the 18th Cor gressional district.
As the result now stands, Mr.. Wilson has
a majority of 2046, SO that if we were to
give the copperheadS our majority in Potter
county of 7O2, Wilson would still be tri-
umphant by 1914 in defiance of Centre,
Clinton, Lycoming, and Potter. Our friend
McAlarney of the Potter Journal promis-
ed US 700 before the Congressional nomi-
nation, and he has hit the work with two
of credit besides. 1t is worth the trouble
of living in such counties as Tioga and Pot
ter In the latter county not q single
licensed liquor house Of any kind is to be
found, and the extreme soberness of the
people enables them to render true and
Just verdict at the polls. We have not the
least doubt that if no liquor was allowed
to be sold in Centre county for the space
of even two yeals, many who are in the
habit of voting what is supposed to be the
democratic ticket, in "blind, staving" con
ditiou, would forever after that vote with
the party Of intelligence and progressive
republicanism. But as the matter now
stands there is no such hope. Take away
the nigger, and Democracy is dead; take
away the liquor, It is deadeT; take away
both at one time, and suddenly, and no dog
ever kicked the bucker quicker than will
the copperhead democracy CentralPress

MOSES.

DEAR JOURNAL: For some time after the
committee of colored men from Nashville
called on President Johnson for the watch" !"
the people were anxious to know just what
they said to him, but they We're as close as
"bulI-frogs in February" Lately. at a
cleaning out" of meeting of colored men
in Tennessee, the Chairman of the del
egation was arrested and copy of the ad-
dress found on his person. To CRAFTY the
public, l give it below. Tune,-"Now
Moses"
Now, Moses, remember you promised to lead us
From darkness and bondage to freedom and
light,
With the friendship of Rebs. now you think you
don't need us,
But TO send us to Egypt is surely not right.
Chorus: Now, Moses, the giver
Says "stand and dehver''
The Watch once so fondly bestow'd
For Memphis dark scenes
And those at New Orleans,
Show clearly Moses is on the
wrong road.
The Moses of old, when his flock needed water,
Smote the hills with his rod and it flowed
from the rock;
But You lead your followers forward slaughter
And the use of your rod is for scourging your
flock.
Chorus: Now, Noses dc.
You don't lift serpent of brass when we're
smitten,
For healing our people no efforts you make,
But when by the vile northern copperhead
bitten,
You give us the fangs of the real southern
snake.
Chorus: Now, Moses, DC.
".
The cloud which now leads you is over your
reason,
It's shade on your pathway is fearful to view,
And the light you are following now for a season
Isa''will o. the wisp'' born of mania potu.
Chorus: Now, Noses &c.
Y.
Old Moses was buried by God'schoscn nation,
On mountain in sight of the dear promised
land,
But you mean to make by the power of your
station,
This fate of the leader descend on the band.
