5. CoLFAxs LECTURE, at Babcoek's Hall,
last night, (the l4th) was attended by less
than 279 persons, just l20 of whom were
from Moline, leaving an audience of only
l59 from Rock Island-a town of about
1900 inhabitants. The lecturer was hoarse
and his personal appearance was not such
as to command very great admiration His
articulation is bad, and to persons not near
the stage much that he said was not under
stood.
His lecture consists of the same old story
he has told so many times, about his ride
acrsss the plains to California, filed with
what II say" and what II said" We were
much disappointed both as to the manner
and matter of the lecture. The usual OBJ
lique puts of radicalism, of course, were not
omitted.
The young mems association will lose
money on Colfax.

| a SCANDALoUs FALsEHooD IN REGARD II
| AN EsTIMABLE MAN.-In the notorious Gro
endycke divorce case, in Chicago, Groen
| dycke testified to pretended con
fsssion of his wife in regard to various per
sons who had had improper intimacy with
| her, and among others he named Daniel
Zimmerman, Esq, of Cordova, agent for G.
FL. Mccormick, of Chicago
Mrs. Groendycke, in her testimony, posi-
lively denied the statement.
No man who knows Mr.. Zimmerman will
believe one word of the scandalous state
ment made by Groendycke. Mr.. thinner.
man has been resident of Cordova for
nearly ten years, and was, previously, the
travelling agent of Mccormick, for this
state. lie has most estimable and accom-
plished wife, three daughters, as lovely
young ladies as can be found in the county,
and the personal character of Mr. thinner
man, the excellent reputation he has estab-
hshed in the county, the high social position
occupied by himself and his intelligent fam
lily, the high moral character he has always
borne, all forbid the slightest belief in the
scandalous story of Groendycke.
This Groendycke is vile, low fellow, who
has got badly sold with a notorious woman,
and testities to supposed confession of hers
in order to escape heavy alimony should
her prayer for a divorc" be granted.
We are living in shocking state of soci-
ETY., when good mems names must be black
ened by SANDER and their families plunged
into grief by the trumped-up testimony of
any scoundrel who wants to save himself
from almony in getting clear of such vira-
60 as Groendycke has on his hands.

made at
wAIYHA06 16A28.

The American Watch Company, of -Waltham
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches are
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
watches in the market. They are simpler in
structure, and therefore stronger and less likely
to be injured than the majority of foreign watch
es, which composed of from 125 to 800 pieces,
while in an oldEngtsh watch there are more than
700 parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let
ter:

GEyTLENEy-The watches manufactured by
you have been in use on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches as part of our equipment. There are
now some three hundred of them carried on our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
time keepers. Indeed, I have great satisfaction
IN saying your watches give us less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches We have ever had IN use
on this road. As you arc aware, We formerly
trusted to those of English manufacture, Of ac
knowledged good reputation; but as a class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done
as good service as yours.
In these statements am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended

EDWARD III. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent.
American Watch Co., Waltham.
We make now five different grades of watches,
named respectively as follows:
Appleton, Tracy Co., Waltham, Mass
altman Watch Company, Waltham, Mass
L. 3 Bartlett, Waltham, Mass
m. Ellery, Boston, Mass.
Home Watch Company, Boston, Mass.
All of these, with the exception of the Home
Watch Company, are warranted by the American
Watch Company to be of the best material, on
he most approved principle, and to possess every
equisite for reliable time-keeper. Every dealer
selling these watches is provided with the Com
'any's printed card of guarantee, which should
accompany each watch sold, so that buyers may
eel sure that they are purchasing the genuine ar
icle. There arc numerous counterfeits and imi-
atoms of our watches sold throughout the coun-
ry, and we would ssution purchasers to be on
heir guard against Imposition.
Any grades of Watham Watches may be pur-
hased of watch dealers throughout the country.

sort for thieves and bad women, but our po-
lice followed the gang so closely that they
had to leave town. Before leaving, and
when in fear Of being taken, he buried these

who found them brought them to City Mar

Bill was taken, at Rockford, soon after he

The SHowMAN's DEFEAT-At the
Congressional election in the Fourth
District of Connecticut in 1865, Hon.
John II. Hubbard (Republican) was
elected by majority of 2,6S5. Bar
mum, the loyal humbug, was beaten in
the same district on Monday, the 1st
instant, by l,045 votes. This shows
the lesson in figures. A good joke
played off on the moral party, or their
candidate. As Hubbard's majority
was about the same as Scofelds last
fall, the white people Of this district
should not despair If such things
can be done in the hot.bed of fanati-
cism, whore every church is a political
rostrum, why can we not elect Dom
ocrat to Congress in this district, where
the agents of his Satanic Majesty are
less numerous
