IT is understood in Ottawa, Canada, that
Col. RANKIN, who was re Gently defeated by
JOHN O'CoNNoR Ia the canvass for seat
in the Canadian Parliament, from Essex,
will at once take active measures to contest
the seat. The ground of objection is STATED
to be the fact that Mr.. O'CoNNoR, at che

izen. How will that compare with the pet

Lincoln.s Estate.

The estate of ex-President LINCOLN di-
vides $1lO, 297 81 among the heirs-giving
Mrs. LINCOLN $37, ,7e5.3O, and to each of mis-
sons the same amount.
This amount, added to tie $4,000 given
to Mrs. LINCOLN by Congress, does not
leave her in such reduced circumstances as
to force her to sell her clothes, the {" gift of
dear friends" in order to obtain the neces-
saries of life. i. ''t
When Mr.. LINCOLN went into the Presi-
dency he valued his wealth at 5000, all
told. How, upon salary upon which
MONROE half starved and JACKSON failed to
realize enough to take him back to Ten
nessee, Mr.. LINCOLN managed to net in a
little more than four years. an amount
equal to his entire salary, it behooves his
friends who abuse his wife, to explain.

Another Presidential Aspirant

The Girard (Pa.) Spectator, published at
the home of DAN RICE, informs us that
''clubs are being formed in different por-
tions of the country, bearing the name OF
this distinguished equestrian, with the
view of presenting him as candidate for
the next President of the United States.'
Mr.. RICE really has Presidential aspira-
tions. And why should he not. A clown
to circus, if honest, would make better
President than many others who aspire to
the same Office. .-.-..-

A Radical Governor Exposed.

The Wheeling Register gives some of the
beauties of Radical registration in Western
Virginia. 1t charges on Governor BORE
MAN, that
--"His object has been, not to enforce
the laws, but to work out partisan pur-
poses, so that Federal soldiers haue been dis
frdnchised because they ,oere Democrats, and
rebel soldiers haus been registered because they
uoted the Radical ticket"
Facts which come to us from other
sources, leave no doubt in our mind as to
the truth of these charges. Yet the man
who does these things is "loyar'-while he
who supports the Constitution and the
Union, opposes rascality in Office and out
of it, is denounced as not friend to his
country.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
AMERICAN
WALTHAM
w A T G III e S .

The true value of Mschinery applied to Watch
making is not that by its Watches made
rapidly, but that they are made correctly. Very
few people know why Watham Watch should be
superior to any other. In the first place, at Walt
ham the Watch is regarded only a machine, to
be constructed like any other machine, on mechan-
ica principles. If the Watches are good. it is be-
cause the machinery is good. OF course there
must be defect in the principle or plan of the
movement-no mistake in the sizes shapes of
the pieces of which it is composed-nothing want
ing in their properties. an in their posi-
tions. These points once thoroughly settled,
rests wholly with the machinery. constructed with
infinite diversity Of form and fun ,tion expressly
for the purpose. to produces the finished pieces. By
means of multiplying guages and microscopes. tests
and inspection for the detection of we,r in thecut-
ting TOOLS and for faults and aws in steel stone
are made to accompany the work in every stage
from beginning to end. As necessary result, the
Watch &c es together a perfect machine. Every
part is found to fit properly in its place. Every
pin may be pushed till it D inches, and every screw
turned home. Instead of sluggish and feeble &C
tion. the bal snce. under the pressure of the
liRhtest handspring. vibrates with wide AMI free
motion, and the beat has the clear ringing sound
always characteristic of the Waltham Watch. The
achine is a atimekeeper from the start.
This system of matchmaking is unknown in for
eign countries, and is entirely original with the
Walthau Company. The Company claim that by
it they produce Watches that cannot bs equalle ed
for every quality which makes a Watch valuable
Simple in plan and correct in principle. the move
IN ,ntis not only beautifully finished. substantial.
accurate and cheap but is uniform in the miuutest
details not easily damaged, and whom repaired al
ways as good new. There different grades
of finish in the different varieti of Watches made
by the Waltham Company. as there are different
sizes and shapes to suit all tastes and mesns but
| every Watch that bears the genuine trademark Of
t"wALTHAM" is guaranteed to be q good one. and
nobody need be afraid to buy it. rr..-

the one story building occupied by Ber-

be between these two stores. The engines
were promptly on the ground, and the
flames were extinguished before they had
spread very far. The damage to the build

principal losses were sustained by the
Messrs. Berstein, hoop skirt manufacturers,
