MAN FOUND DYING
CAUSE RUM AND MERCURY.

This morning at about seven o'clk
when Mr. Ira Holloway living one
mile South Of this city, went to his
barn to feed his stock, he found man
lying in it, upon his face, evidently
in the very last stages of dissolution,
from the effects Of whisky and ex-
posure. He was immediately carried
into the main part Of the building
and wrapped up with some robes to
keep him alive if possible, Mr.. H.
fearing the effect it would have on
him, to take him suddenly into a
warm room. In a very short time
however he expired. HIP. Graves
Esq, of this city, wasimmediately no.
tilted, aniacting as coroner, held an in
quest over his body with L D Gosler, l.
Skinner, J. H. Finley, Isaac Haynes,
Capt. Snider, ard J. r. Chambers as
the jury, who returned verdict of
death from drunkenness and exposure.
His name was Irwin Drummond,
was blacksmith. aged about IS yrs,
and lived at Ormanville, in this coun-
ty, where he leaves wife and one
child. The jury found upon his per-
son seven dollars in money, one bottle
Of whiskey, partly filed, and one copy
Of the Ottumwa Mercury from the
combined effects Of which he quite
naturally gave up the ghost; no won.
derl The deceased served four years
in the rebel army.

AMERICAN
Waltham Watches.

The true value of Machinery applied to
Matchmaking IL not that by its use
Watches are made rapidly, but that they
are made correcly. Very few people
know why Waltham Watch should be
at Wnltham the Watch is regarded as only
q machine, to be constructed like any
other machine, on mechanical principles.
If the watches are good, it is because the
machinery is good. Ofcourse there must
be no defect in the principle or plan of the
movement-no mistake in the sizes or
shapes OF the pieces of which it is compos-
ed-nothing wanting in their properties,
and no error in their positions. These
points once thoroughly settled, it rests
wholly with the machinery, constructed
with infinite diversity Of form and function
expressly for the purpose, to produce the
finished pieces, By means ofmultiplying
guages and microscopes, tests and inspec-
ton for the detection of wear in the cut
ting tools, and for faults and flaws in steel
or stone are made to accompany the work
In every stage from beginning to end. As
necessary result, the watch goes togeth.
er perfect machine. Every part is found
to fit properly in its place, Every pin
may be pushed till 1t pinchcs, and every
screw turned home. Instead of a sluggish
and feeble action, the balance, even under
the pressure of the lightest handspring,
vibrates with wide and free motion. and
the beat has the clear ringing sound al
characteristic ofthe Waltham Watch. The
machine is a timekeeper from the start. Il
This system of Matchmaking il un-
known In foreign countries, and Is entire
ly original with the Waltham Company.
The Company claim that by it they pro-
duce watches that cannot be equalled for
every quality which makes a watch valu.

cheap, but is uniform in the minutest de-
tails, not easily damaged, and when re-
paired always as good rs new. There are
different grades Of finish in the different
varieties Of watches made by the Waltham
Company, as there are different sizes and
shape to suit all tastes and means; but
every Watch bears the genuine trade

good one, and nobody need be afraid to
buy it.

CoNsIsTENcY.-If you want to see
this cardinal virtue finely illustrated,
in democratic way, read an article
in another place in this paper from
the Chicago Tines, being an editor

engaged in its great flank movement
trying to beat the Republican party
atits own game on negro suffrage,
and then pick up any number nova
days of that same sheet, and read its
articles, bitterly denouncing this
same movement A comparison OF
these antagonistic views in the same
