Confidence nee Game.

- On last Saturday, well dressed woman,
representing herself to be a daughter of
,ex- Governor Tod and wife of Mr. War
oner, of Mineral Ridge, called upon a poor
woman named Lemly. living il, the South
part of the town, on apretended mission OF
benevolence. She stated that her father
intended establishing large banking
house here, which would give employment
to seventeen clerks. That he, with others
had purchased a large quantity of child
ren's clothing, which it was proposed to
furnish to poor families at the moderate
price OF fifty cents for a full dress. By
these statements Mrs. Eemly was induced
to give her what money she had amounting
otos$2 for clothing. The impostor stated
that she had been stopping at the IN Nation-
saI,' but was Just then stopping with Mr.
Parks, and she would send the articles pur-
chased to Mrs. Lemly by her colored boy
1T is hardly necessary to add that nothing
has been received from the swell dressed
woman" since. Since the above was put

Lemly was engaged washing, she recog-

She was brought to this place, and failing

...5.-5, A CARD FROM THE .. ....i,, ,.
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY
OF
WALTHAM, MASS.

THIS Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
fac ory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than million dollars and employs over
700 operatives. They produce 75.O0O Watches a
year. and make and sell not less than half of all
the Watches sold in the United States. 81 r. 'sit
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly this: European Watches
are made almost entirely oyAand end the result is
of necessity lack of that uniformity which is in
dispensable to correct time keeping. Both the g Q
and the hand Of the most skillful' operative must
vary. But it is fact that, except atches of the
higher grades, European Watches are the product
of the cheapest labor of Switzerland and the result
is the worthless Ancres, Lepines and so called Pat
ent Levers-which soor cost more in attempted re-
pairs, th their original price. Common Sorkmen,
boys and women, buy the rough separate parts of
these hes fr ON various factories, polish and
put them together, and take them to the nearest
Watch merchant, who stamps and, eDgrayes them
with any name or brand that may be ordered. -
H0 W AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE,
The American Waltham Watch is made by no
such uncertain process-and by no such incompe-
tent workmen. All the Compiny's operations. from
the reception ef thE materials to the completion
Of the W aten, are carried on unueu e--~-r-aal
under one skillful and competent direction. But
the great distinguishing feature of their Watches
the finest the most perfect and delicate machinery
ever brought to h aid of human industry. Every
one of the more than q bundled parts of every
Watch is made by machine-that infallibly re-
produces every succeeding part with the most un-
varying accuracy. 1t was only necessary to make
one perfect Watch of any particular style and then
to adjust the hundred machines necessary to
produce every part of that Watch, and it follows
that every succeeding W atch must be likeit.
The Company respectfully submit their Watches
on their merits only. They claim 10 make ~ q
A BETTER ARTICLE FOR THE MONEY
by their improved mechanical processes than
be made under the old-fashioned handicraft sys-
TEN. They manufacture Watches of every grade,
from good low priced and substantial article, in
solid silver hunting cases. to the finest chronome-
ter; and also ladies' Watches-in plain gold or the
finest enameled and jeweled cases; but the indis
pensable requisite of all their Wstches 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

Price of Bread.
tFrem the COshocton- Democrat. I


In the history of all countries, the price
of bread has ever been one of the best I'M
Sdieations of a prosperous state of things,
, and of contented people. Weighed in
this balance, the present prospects here are
not encouraging The, price of bread is
higher than ever was known before, cerf
tainly for the last sixty years. Good flour
now commands from $16 to $l7 per barrel.
1t is q very stange and startling fact that
the United States, which used to. be the
granery of the world, is now actually inn
porting wheat from Liverpool to New
> York, Instead of exporting it. To procure
bread with all other supplies, at prevailing
rates, demands means which the Operatives
in all parts Of the Union feel with peculiar
H The inflated and deprecated currency is
one Of the chief reasons for all this, and
back of that lie those measures of political
policy which have kept the country in that
unhappy and uncertain condition which
initiates against industry and discourages
confidence and enterprise. s1sll, q Ziro 7dF

Now these symptoms are much more like
hysteria than madness. The foaming at
the mouth, the fit, the self-laceration are
not characteristic of hydrophobia, but they
are exactly what often happens in hysteria.
That disease moreover is known to initiate
hyGrophobia sometimes so closely as to de-
ceive the most wary physician. The bark
ing and snarliDg like a cur must have been
the effect of imagination either in the pa
tient or the observer who records the
case. Such thing does not occur in
madness from the bite of adog, though
it is popularity supposed that it does, the
error originating probably from the spas
modic efforts which the sufferer makes to
clear his throat of saliva. But it is quite
conceivable that hysteric woman, know
ing that she had been bitten, might have
fancied that she had the disease, and have
produced unintentionally the barking, the
| fear of water, and the other symptoms which
she supposed to be characteristic of it. I'm
til more accurate history of the case is
made public, we shall be slow, therefore, to
believe that this was hydrophobia, or con-
sequently that any cure for that horrible
affection has yet been discovered. The
only safety is in the eXcision or burning OF
the bitten part.
As death surely follows when the disease
has once declared itself, it is comforting tc
know that even if you are bitten the-chance
of infection is slight. The virus may moi
have penetrated the wound, or your organ
ism may not be susceptible to it. DIR. Ham
ilton estimates the chances of escape as higt
as twenty-five to one; John Hunter al
twenty-one to one; Mr.. Youatt as four tx
one. The chance of dogs taking the in
fection from another is about as one tc
| three. n' i .s

MURDER IN INDIANA COUNTY.

Cunc

An Old and Respectable Citizen Murders
HIS SOn-in-Law-The Perpstrator In
Custody. f.
The Indiana (Pa) Democrat of this week gives
the following details of an atrocious murder
perpetrated in that county: = "The peaceful
community in the neighborhood of the village
OF Washington, in Canoe township, was startled
on Monday last by the commission of a cool
and deliberate murder, perpetrated by an old
own son-in-aw. The murderer is Nicholas
Vandevinder, and his victim John b. Bowers.
Il a1Rpea@Ts airs that some time ago vandeyinder
law, the deceased, John B. Bowers, and Eli
Miller, with the understanding that Bowers,
during his life. Lately vandevinder became
dissatisfied with his treatment. alleging that
he was prosecuted and treated harsh1y by
Bowers and his family. This at length so
preyed upon him that he formed deliberate
purpose TO Kill Bowers.
"On Monday morning last. after Bowers had
left the house and gone to a field short dis
tance off. accompanied by his two little sons,
cooly and deliberately loaded his rifle most
formidable looking instrument of death. and
followed him. Concealing himself in a fence
corner, Vandevinder waited until Bowers
passed him, when taking deliberate aim he shot
ing him Instantly. The murderer then went to
the house and packed a few clothes in his
saddle-bags, and taking his gun with him fled
in the direction of this place, taking the road
leading to Plumville which place he reached
in the evening. a distance OF about 20 miles
After the murder the little boys of Bowers,
who witnessed the shooting, gave the alarm
and immediate pursuit of the murderer was
made. Mr.. Samuel Neal, a near neIghbor of
Bowers, followed close upon the track of VAN
devinder, ond arrived at Plumville about an
hour after him. He procured the assistance of
Mr.. 4. II. Wynkoop, and Captain John Sutton,
who arrested and brought Vandevinder to town
and committed him to Jail, This is q circum-
slaptial account of the affair, as detailed by Mr.
Neal, and fully sustained by the admissions of
the prisoner. r.I.Il ...I =. .... H.rr
'The prisoner is fne-lool1ing old man, aged
about bity- nine years, and has heretofore borne
an irreproachable character. The deceased was
apparent quiet, civil young man, aged proba-
bly, about thirty-five years, and leaves wife
and several children TO mourn his loss. The
murder appears to have been perpetrated cooly
and deliberately, and Vandevinder when ar
rested did not deny the killing, but admitted 1t
and detailed all the particulars. He appears to
have been so exasperated at Bowers conduct
that bis passions overcame his reason entirely,
and he even now does not realize fully his des-
perate condition" fi .
