cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more dura-
BILE, and better adapted for general use and more
easily kept In order and repaired than any other

TO be injured than the majority of foreign watch
es, which ara composed of from 125 to 800 pieces.
while IN an oldEnglish watch there are more than
7OU parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let

The Governors Message.

Gov. Fairchild's message was delivered
to both houses of the Legislature, on
Thursday last. The greater part of the
document is occupied with summary of
the reports of the several State officers.
"The Governor reiterates his appreciation
"of the policy of investing the trust funds
Sin non-negotiable State securities; rec
"ommends memorializing Congress in ia
''vor of the assumption of the war debts of
''loyal States by the General Government;
can amendment of the insurance law so as
''to require all companies to report annually
"to the Secretary of State; the Limitation
'sof the number of notaries public and the
Requirement of a reasonable fee for their
Commissions the fostering of the agri-
"cultural and other interests of the State
"by appropriate legislation; thorough IN
'quiry with view to ascertain precisely
"what course should be pursued consistent
with equity and sound State policy, in re-
"gard to the complaints against railroad
corporations; the adoption of measures
ito induce immigration from Europe;
liberal policy towards the several benev-
'solent institutions of the State, the State
"Unversity, and the State Historical So
"ciety; a more efficient military law, which
"shall provide for the maintenance OF at
"least ten thoroughly organized companies
"of militia; an increase of the salary OF
1.-The Judges of the Supreme Court, and
"an appropriation Of the proportion due
sfrom the State for the completion of the
"National Cemeteries. &C., &c. lie also
"renews his remonstrance against special
Legislation"
The message closes with an earnest rec
ommcndaton for the adoption of the con-
stitutonal amendment, and briefly refers
to the subject of reconstruction.
His arguments upon the national ques-
tions are eminently sound, and will meet
with the hearty approval of the great mass
of the people.
On the whole, the message is sound
and practical document, and should be
read by every tax payer in the County.

What Newspapers do for Nothing.

The following article should be read and
pondered well by every man who takes
newspaper without paying for it:
My observation enables me to state as a
fact, that publishers of newspapers are
more poorly rewarded than any other class
of men in the United States, who invest an
equal amount of labor. capital and thought.
They are expected to do more service for
less pay, and stand more sponging and
'dead heading,' to puff and defend more
people without hope of reward, than any
other class.
They credit wider and longer, get oftener
cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss, are
oftener the victims of misplaced confidence
than any other calling in the community.
People pay printers bill with more reluc-
tance than any other. 1t goes harder with
them to expend dollar on a valuable news
paper, than ten on needless gew-gaw, yet
everybody avails himself of the editors
pen and printers ink.
How many professional and political rep.
utations and fortunes have been made and
sustained by the friendly though unrequit-
ed pen of the editor How many embryo
towns and cities have been brought into
notice and puffed into prosperity by the
press !? How many railroads now in sue
cessful operation, would have been foun-
dered but for "the lever that moves the
world ?' In short, what branch of indus
Try and activity has not been promoted,
stimulated, and defended by the press?
And who has rendered it more than a
miserable pttance for its services? The
hazaars of fashion. and the haunts of dis
sipation and appetite are thronged with an
eager crowd, bearing gold in their palms,
and the commodities there vended are sold
at enormous profits, though intrinsically
worthless. and paid for with scrupulous
punctuality while the counting room of
newspaper is the seat of Jewing, cheapen-
ing, trade, orders and pennies. 1t is made
point of honor to liquidate grog bill,
but not of dishonor to repudiate printer S
bill.

TT Is NOT YOUR BUSINESS.

Would you like to know the secrets
OF your neighbor's house and life?
How he lives, or how he doesn't,
And just how he treats his wife?
How he spends his time of leisure,
Whether sorrc wful or gay,
And where he goes for pleasure,
To the concert or the play.
If you wish it, L will tell you
Let me whisper to you sly
If your ncighbor is but civil.
1t is not your business why.
In short, instead of prying
Into other mems affairs.
If you do your own but justice,
You will have no time for theirs.
Be attentive to such fiatters
As concerns yourself alone,
And whatever fortune flatters,
Let your business be your own.
One word by way of finis-
Let me whisper to yon sly
If you wish to be respected,
You must cease 10 be spy.
