ITEM.-In republican cities, democrats do
not often become school directors, and the
school directors never employ democratic
teachers.
In democratic cities, the democrats too Of

A YOUNG LADY

Returning to her country home, after a sojourn
of few months in the city, was hardly recog-
nized by her friends. In place of a coarse, rus
tic, flushed face, she had soft ruby complexion
of almost marble smoothness, and instead of
twenty-three she really appeared but eighteen.-
Upon inquiry to the cause of so great a change,
she plainly told them that she used the Cir
CASSIAN BALM, and considered it an inval-
liable acquisition to any ladys toilet By its use
any lady or gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold. 1t is simple in its
combination, as nature herself is simple, yet un-
surpassed in its efficacy in drawing impurities
from, also healing, cleansing and identifying the
skin and complexion. By its direct action on
the cuticle it draws from it all its impurities,
kindly healing the same, and leaving the surface
nature intended it should be- clear, soft, smooth
and beautiful. Price 81, sent by mail or express,

QUARREL ARoUT A HoG.-It is reported
that dispute occurred, few days ago, in an
orchard, in Presumption, about miles south
of the village, between Joseph Pittman and
John Waugh, about hog. From words
they came to blows, and Pttman getting the
worst of it, struck Waugh in the neck with a
pruning knife, inaicting serious wound
This is the rumor, and it is also said that
Pittman has fed to parts unknown, to es-
cape prosecution. We hope some one will
send US the facts.

Rock ISLAND CoNTRACToRs.--We suppose
everybody knows, or if they don't they ought
to, that Messrs. Reynolds, Saulpaugh & Co.,
of this city, are the men to put q big job
through quick and well. They were con-
tractors on the Chicago L Rock Island rail-
road F; they rebuilt the bridge piers in the
great Railroad bridge across the Mississippi,
here; built the bridge across Rock River,
called the Moline Bridge; built the city
bridges across Rock River, at Camden !;
built the railroad bridges across Rock River,
on the Coal Valley railroad, and built the
whole Coal Valley road built the carriage
bridge to the Island, and done the grading.
They have also done many heavy jobs on
the Mississippi and Missouri Railroad. They
built three railroad bridges across the Cedar
river; built the large railroad bridge across
the Wabash,at Vincennes, Indiana; also built
many heavy railroad bridges in the south
They also done all the work ON the Rock
Island & Sterling railroad.
Last winter they built, in four months
time, a heavy railroad bridge across the
Mississippi river, at Minneapolis, having
four abutments and five piers, all heavy
stone work, which is pronounced one of the
best jobs in the United States, considering
the time required to build it, and. the season
in which it was done.
Last week they closed contract for 1000
yards of masonry on the St. Paul & Pacific
railroad, a road now running so miles north
of St. Paul.
On Tuesday they have received
telegram saying that the contract is closed
with them for 20 miles of railroad from ST.
Paul to Hastings, and including railroad
bridge across the Mississippi at Hastings
This work is on the road called the St. Paul
and Chicago railroad.
This firm consists of Messrs. E. P. Rey-
nolds, Lewis, E. Saulpaugh and Thomas
Saulpaugh, of this city, and John E. Henry,
of Davenport. No better firm can be found
for heavy jobs. They have the ability and
the experience, and any contract they under
take will be put through in the shortest pos
sible time and the best manner.

CURE OFINFLAMMATO RHEUM-
ATISM.

SING SING, Jan. IS, 1857.
DIR. BRANDRETH-For some years have been
subject to attacks of infiammatory rheumatism,
which usually come every three or four months.
MY physicians were of the highest reputation.
By their advice took colchicum, citric acid, and
other celebrated remedies, but none relieved me
or shortened the attacks, which lasted for weeks
at time. In my last attack I concluded to try
your famous pills. was lying upon my bed at
the time, suffering the severest pains in my feet
and ankles, which pen can describe.
The first dose of six Pills was so effective that
in a few hours the pain and swelling sensibly aba
ted, and in As hours were all gone, and ! was
cured and have had no return.
l send you this letter for the benefit of others
who suffering in similar manner, may know
how they can find certain relief.
am respectfully yours,

ACARD FROM THE
American Watch Company
OF
WALTHANG, 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 o million dollars, and employs
over 700 operatives. They produce $4,000 Wat
ehes a year, and make and sell not less than one
half of all the 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 lack of that uniformity which is
indispensable to correct time-keeping. Both the
eye and the hand of the most skillful operative
must vary. But it is a fact that, except watches
of the higher grades, European watches the
product of tie cheapest labor of Switzerland, and
the result is the worthless Aneres, Lepines and
so-called Patent Leyers-which soon cost more In
attempted repairs, than their originalprice. Com
mon woIkmen, boys and women, buy the rough
separate parts of these watches from various fac
tories, polish and put them together, and take
them to the nearest watch merchant, who stamps
and engrayes them with any name or brand that
may be ordered. ger.
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE.
The American waltham Watch is made by no
such uncertain process-and by no such incom-
petent workmen. All the eompany's operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion of the Watch, carried on under
one roof, and under one skiliful and competent
direction. - But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watches is the fact that their several
and delicate machinery ever brought to the aid
of human industry. Every one of the more than
hundred parts of every watch is made by ma
chine-that infallbly reproduces every succeeding
part with the most unvarying accuracy. 1t was
only necessary to make one perfect watch Of one
particular style and then to adjust the hundred
machines necessary to reproduce every part of
that watch, and it follows that every succeeding
part 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 handicraft sys-
| tenn. They manufacture watches of every grade,
from good, low priced, and substantial article,
in solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chrome
meter; and also ladies' watches in plain gold or
the finest enameled and jeweled cases; but the IN
dispensable requisite of all their watches Is that
| they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERs. Hshouid
| be remembered that, except their single lowest
| grade named alone 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.
