constant repairs to keep them in any kind of
order. All persons who have carried 'ancres.'
"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, it was our first object to
make thoroughly good, low-priced watch
| for the million, to take the place of these for
eign impositions-the refuse of foreign fac
tories-which were entirely unsaleable at
home and perfectly worthless everywhere.
How well we have accomplished this may
bes understood from the fact. that after 40

MORE THAN HALF OF ALL THE
WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED
STATES, and that no others have ever given
such universal satisfaction. While this de-
partment of our business is continued with
| increased facilities for perfect work we are at
present engaged in the manufacture of watch
es of the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN
| TO CHRONOMETRY, unequalled By any
thing hitherto made by ourselves and unsur-
passed by anything made in the world For
this purpose we have the amplest facilities
| We have erected an addition to our main
buildings expressly for this branch of our bu-
siness. and have filled it with the best work
men in, our service. New machines and ap-
pliances have been constructed. which per-
| form their work with consuinmate delicacy
and eXactness. The choicest and most an
proved materials only are used and we chal-
lenge comparison between this grade of our
work and the finest imported thermometers.
Wedo not pretend to sell our watches for less
money than foreign watches but we do assert
without fear of contradiction that Tor the
same money our product is incomparably SUI
perior. All our watches. of whatever grade
are fully warranted and his warrantee is good
at all times against US or our agents in all
parts of the world.
CAUTION--The public are cautioned to
buy only ofrespectable dealers. All persons

New POSTAL LAw.-The postal laws have
been amended SO that prepaid letters are for
warded at the request of the party addressed
without additional charge, and returned dead
letters are restored to the writers thereof free
of postage
Postmasters are expected by all means to
encourage the inducement of the requests
for the return to the writers of unclaimed
letters, SO as to reduce the number of dead
letters.
The public would do well to comply with
the above, and indorse on their letters a re-
quest to be returned, as their letters are now
returned free when so Endorsed, and the trou-
BILE of sending them to Washington, there to
be examined at the Dead Letter Office. is
avoided. Letters with reuenue stamps on
them are treated as unpaid, and are sent to
the Dead Letter office.

NEGRO MAN SHoT.-A tournament came off
last Wednesday on the farm of Mr.. Tompkins,
six or seven miles east of Warrenton, and after
the contest for the ring, the company repaired
to the house Of Mr.. =. h. Kent, in the neigh bor.
hood, 10 crown the queen and have q ball
Between ii and IL O'Clock at night, two negro
men, the hired servants Of Mr.. Kent came to
town on horses belonging TO two of the COM
pany, for the alleged purpose OF getting a fid-
dler who could make better music than the
one playin for the company to return with
them. They were pursued by Robert Martin
and Eddie Wooden, the owners of the horses
and overtaken at a shanty on Winchester ST
One of them, named Henry Taylor, formerly
the slave of Aldridge James, was shot by
young Wooden. The ball entered the left
side of his back, and striking the seventh
rib glanced around the body, following the
course OF the ribs, and lodged in the m uscies
Of the abdomen few inches above the groin
The ball was easily extracted by Drs. Ward
and Chiffon, and IL is their opinion that il did
not penetrate the cavity Of the abdomen 1t is
therefore expected that Henry will soon re-
cover from the injury inflicted. Messrs Mar
tin and w Wooden seemed TO be laboring, we un.
derstand, under the impression that the negroes
intended stealing their horses. But the negroes
state that they were directed by Willie Tomp-
kins TO take any horses at the rack to csme az.
ter the fiddler, and that they had no other in :
tent than to serve the company. Warrants
have been issued for the arrest OF Martin and
Wooden. and we presume the matter will be
Judiclally inyestigated--W Wdrrenton Iadex.
