Dg- A tale is told of doctor, in Eng
land, who, not very conversant with chol-
era, was called in to prescribe for cob
bier who believed himself suffering from
the epidemic. He told him to take the
usual medicines, and called next day,
when he was Informed our cobbler was
cured indeed, SO we'll was he, he had
gone to work.
'Indced," he replied, "that is we'll !;
you see my prescription has answered ad-
mirably."
at wasn't your prescription that cured
him." said the wife. at was something
else"
"Indeed, What was it then ?"
"Impatienr and hungry, he called for
his supper-a salad of beans and potatoes,
along with a red herring"
''Dear, dear !" exclaimed our doctor,
and believing he had discovered secret
which nature by chance had revealed, he
drew out his pock ct book and wrote the
following as a cure fer cholera -
"ChOlera- Prescription-Beans, cold
potatoes, and red herring; to be taken i'm
mediately."
But few days elapsed and our good
doctor was called to attend mason, also
seized with cholera, to whom he at once
gave the famous prescription. Alas on
the morrow, on calling, he learned, to his
astonishment, that quarter of an hour
after having eaten the salad, the poor man
died.
"Dear, dear Y' murmured the doctor;
and again pulling out his pocket-5ook, he
wrote the following memorandum, adding
it to the prescription
an. B.-An excellent remedy for cob
blers, but useless for masons."

How Mr.. LINCOLN SIGNED HE PROC
LAMATIoN.-The Rochester Express re-
lates the following as the circumstances
attending Mr.. Lincoln's signature to the
Emancipation Proclamation, and says 1t
has not before been published The large
roll containing that document was taken
to Mr.. Lincoln at noon on the first day of
January, 1868, by Secretary Seward aud
his son Frederick. As it lay unrolled be-
fore him, Mr.. Lincoln took pen, dipped
it in ink, moved his hand to the place for
the signature, held it for moment, and
then removed his hand and dropped the
pen. After little hesitation he again
took up the pen and went through the
same movement as before. Mr.. Lincoln
then turned to Mr.. Seward and said: 81
have been shaking hands since nine O.
clock this morning, and my right arm is
almost paralyzed. If my name ever goes
into history, it will be for this act, and my
whole soul is in it. If my hand trembies
when sign the proclamation, all who ex-
anime the document hereafter will say, he
hesitated.'" He then turned to the table,
took up the pen again, and slowly, firmly,
wrote that abraham Lincoln" with
which the whole world is now familiar.-
He looked up, smiled, and said: THAT
will do.' That proclamation asserted that
the Executive Government of the Unit
ed States, including the military and ma
val authorities thereof, will recognize and
maintain the freedom of such persons"

failed. By throwing away the chances
offered at Philadelphia by the national
convention and falling back upon their
old party, they drove the Conservative
Republicans TO the Radical side of the
contest aud converted thousands of men
who should and would have worked
with them shoulder to shoulder under
Conservative leadership, into political
enemies. The fact is, the Democracy
of the North, In their attempt TO save
their name and old party organization,
have not only suffered defeat, but have
proved their friendship for the South to
be nothing more than desire to use
her as cats paw TO take Northern
Democratic chestnuts of the Hoffman,
Morrissey, Wood, Vallandigham & Co,
stamp out Of the fire. If the Democrats
of New York had nominated General
Dix and consigned their old party name
to the shades OF the past, and come
out as the National Union party, there
is nothing more certain than that they
would have carried the State by a
large majority. But they followed in
the wake of Pennsylvania and repudi-
ateu the CnserNhIlNe iuoNehehei auui
like the Hester Clymer party, have
been beater. The dissolution of the
Democratic party in 1860 at Charleston
was final. 1t can never become great
national party again. Like the old
Wing party it is numbered among the
things tina; were, and all attempts
to revive il will end in defeat. The
friendship protested by these partisans
of the Nor;h for the South is nothing
more nor less than q political farce
poorly PLACED at that, and the sooner
we make up our minds to this fact
the better will it be for all con,
cerned. We have had enough of these
political B,urbons. They have ruined
themselves, the Conservative movement
and given the Radicals the reins o

REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS,
Is THE BEST.

II is made on the best principle. 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 ia
nous for the novelty, as well as for its effect
iveness) and is therefore properly made The
watch is what all mechanism should be-accu-
rate, simple, strong and economical. Except
some high grades, too costly for general use,
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and
boys. Such watches are composed of severs,
hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together,
and require constant repairs to keep them in
any kind of order. All persons who have car
ried "ancres" ''lepinesn 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 mill
lion, to take the place of these foreign impssi-
tons; the refuse of foreign factories, which
were entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly
worthless everywhere.
How well we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that after so many
years of public trial, we now make more than
half of all the watches sold in the United States,
and that no Others have ever given such univer-
sal satisfaction While this department of our
business is continued with increased facilities
for perfect work, we are at present engaged in
the manufacture of watches of the very highest
grade known to Chronometry, unequaled by
anything hitherto made by ourselves, and I'M
surpassed by anything made in the world. For
this purpose we have the amplest facilities. We
have erected an addition to our main building
expressly for this branch of our business, and
have filed it with the best workmen in our ser
vice. New machines and appliances have been
constructed which perform their work with
consummate delicacy and exactness. The
choicest and most approved materials only are
used, and we challenge comparison between
this grade Of cur work and the finest imported
tnronometers We do not pretend to sell our
watches for less money than foreign watches,
but we do assert without fear OF contradiction
that for the same money our product is incom-
parably superior. All our watches, OF whatever
grade, are fully warranted, and this warrantes
is good at all times against us or our agents IN
all parts of the world.
CAUTIoN.--The public are cautioned to buy
only of respectable dealers. All persons selling

DROWNED. - The Brattleboro Record
says that the body Of Mr.. James M.
Shattuck, shoemaker by trade, for
the last ten years in the employ of Mr..
Perrin Simonds of that place, was found
on Tuesday afternoon last about half
past two o'clock, floating in the river in
the rear Of Vinton's paper-mill. Mr..
Shuttuck has been, for many years, man
of Incorporate habits, and during the
latter part of last week was laboring
under the fearful effects of deI~iwm tren'enS
On Saturday evening he threatened, as
he had done several times before when
under the influence of liquor, to take his
life, left the house, and the conjecture is,
purposely threw himself in the river, al
though, owing to the condition in which
he was, he might have unwittingly fallen
in. Nothing was heard from him until
Tuesday last when his body was found
as above stated. The remains were
taken to Putney on Wednesday morning
for burial. viii our Incorporate young
