THE FREEMAN.


90 months ago we commenced the publi-
, Ga n the CAMBRIA FREEMAN. The ad-
ca', ,,-s was an experiment, and many warm
GA friends and true democrats admon-
y.,jins s.j ms to avoid the shoals and quicksands

!. he Democrat and Standardization a con-
,-rols existence as a party organ of more
han twenty years, had been suspended in
.soiteIv. More than this, and worse, the
u, few wears of it's existence had been
rsiad of frequent changes in its publication;
t,5 this, and its final collapse, resulted in
psrrniary loss to many of its patrons.
The question then arose, should Northern
Cambria be without democratic organ 2
And the solution to that question is to be
67nd in the Freeman.
without hesitation, without reflection,
ritbout a prospectus, without a Iist, we
commenced its publication. We oply had
c,s thing to base our hopes Of success upon.
and that was confidence in the support and
generosity Of the Democratic people.
We put faith in you aud have succeeded.
Already the Freeman is an established insti-

a GRRAT DIsTDERATUM.-The American
watch is unquestionably the best timekeeper
manufactured 1T the present day, and the
only objection that could have been urged
against if was the liability of its works to
get clogged with dirt. This objection has
been entirely overcome by newly improved
cases, which completely exclude dust and
render the watch perfect. G. L. Roberts
has these admirable timekeepers, with i'm
proved cases, for sale, and offers them at as
low prices as they were sold at before the
war.

IMPROVEMENTS The commodious new
business stand on Main street, adjoining the
Post Office building, is rapidly approaching
mpletion and will add much to the ap-
pearance of that portion of our town.
Messrs. Mills & Davis, who design occupying
their fine store room in this building as soon
as it is completed, have made further reduc-
tions in the prices Of all kinds of goods,
with a view to closing out as far as possible
their stock before moving. Better bargains
than ever are therefore being offered by them
now.

"A CARD FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY
WALTHAM. MASS.

This Company beg leave TO inform the
public that they commenced operations IN
1850, and their factory now covers four acres
of ground, and has cost more than million
dollars, and employs over 700 operatives.
They produce over rs, 900 Watches year,
and make and sell not less than one half tie
Watches sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture
and the European is briefly this European
Watches are made almost entirely by hand,
and the result is of necessity a lack of that
uniformity which is Indispensable to correct
time keeping. Both the eye and the HAND
of the most skiilful operative must vary.
But 1t is fact that, except Watches of the
higher grades, European Watches are the
product of the cheapest labor of SwitzerlsGd,
and the result is the worthless Ancres, Le-
pines and 50 called Patent Levers, which soon
cost more in attempted repairs than their
original price. Common workmen boys and
women, buy the rough separate parts of
these Watches from various factories, polish
and put them together, and take them to
the nearest watch merchant. who stamps
and engraves them with any name or brand
that may be ordered.
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American Wal:ham Watch is made
by no such uncertain process, and by no such
incompetent workmen. All the Company's
operations, from the reception of the raw
materials to the completion of the Watch,
are carried Oh under one roof and under one
skillful and competent direction. But the
great distinguishing feature of their Watches
is the fact that their several parts are made
by the finest, the most perfect and delicate
machinery ever brought to the aid of human
industry. Every one of the more than a
hundred parts of every watch is made by
machine that infal'ibly reproduces every sue
ceeding part with the most unvarying accu-
racy. II was only necessary to make one
perfect watch of any particular style, and
then to adjust the hundred machines neces-
sary to reproduce every part of that watch,
and 1t follows that every succeeding watch
must be like it.
The Company respectfully submit their
watches on their merits only. They claim to
Make a Better Article for the Money
by their improved mechanical processes than
can be made under the old>fashioned handi,
craft system. They manufacture watches
OF every grade, from good, low priced and
substantial article, in solid silver hunting ca
ses, to the finest chronometer; and also la
dies watches, in plain gold or the finest
enameled and ieweled cases; but the inds-
pensable requisite of all their watches is that
they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. 1t
should be remembered that, except their
single lowest grade named Home Watch
Company, Boston," ALL WATCHES made
by them
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by special certificate, and this warrantee
is good at all times against the Company or
its agents. ROBBINS & APPLETON.

CITY VIsIToRs.-We had the pleasure of
a pop visit. on Monday last. from two of our
Philadelphia statesmen friends. Mr.. A. j.
Spigelmire, representing the wholesale gro
cery house of Gillespie, Zeller & Co., Sixth
and Market streets, and Mr.. j. j. Potter,
connected with the wholesale tobacco and
segar warehouse of Cunningham, Glenn &
Co., 408 Market street. Both these gentle
men are still in the neighborhood, and we
need only say for them that they are both
tip-top fellows, and represent two of the best
mercantile establishments in their respective
lines of which the Quaker City can boast.
We heartily commend them to the patron
age of all dealers in the goods they sell. and
feel confident that all who buy from them
once will not turn "cold shoulder" on them
in the future.

Mr.. STANToNs SERvIcEs.-If. the Argus is
consistent it will retract every word of its
abuse of Secretary Stanton, for its oracle,
Thurlow Weed, gives him the following COM
plimentary notice: .a 4
"We are not likely to forget or undervalue
the service rendered by Mr.. Stanton to our
Government in 1860 He discovered in Blu
chanan's Cabinet conspiracy to seize the ar
chives, prevent the Inauguration OF Mr.. Lin
coin, and usurp the Government. Thus far,
Jake Thompson, Cobb, Slidell, Mason, Benja-
min, SC, &C., proceeded, with the co-opera-
ton of Tcucey when Mr.. Stanton, with
Governor Seward, wisely countermine
to arrest the calamity. Judge Holt was
loyal. General Dix was brought into the
Cabinet. The intended coup d'etdt was barely
prevented. We saw, on that occasion, while
Mr.. Lincoln was being sworn, Generals Scott
and Wool standing by their guns, planted in
the vicinity of the Capitol, with less than a
thousand Regular troops for its de.ense Floyd
the Secession Secretary of War, and Toucey
the Secretary of the Navy, had the troops and
the ships of the Government sent out on dis
tant service. We believed then as we firmly
believe now, that but for Edwin NJ Stanton,
traitors would have usurped the Government
on the 4th of March, 1860"
