IN CHARLES COUNTY.
T1HE undersigned, appointed :.Commis-
i soner OF Slave Statistics" by the Cover
nor of Maryland, by authority Of an act OF the
General Assembly, 'enttled An Act to provide
Tor taking and perpetuating the evidence Of tho
number Of persons held to labor and service in
the State Of Maryland and emancipated by the
Constitution adopted in the year 1864, and BY
whom such persons were held 'f -.
Hereby gives notice, that he will attend at
bis Office, in PORT TOBACCO, from day to
day, for the purpose Of discharging bis iutes a.
said Commissioner.
The Act of Assembly designs to place, in the
safe keeping of the State correct evidence OF the
number of Slaves held by her citizens, at the
time, when, under the influence of the pledge
of compensation from the United States, SUCH
slaves were emancipated. 1t is obvious that those
only will be compensated who furnish the state
the necessity of its passage may be better under
stood by reading the Law itself. The preamble
says:
:eThat the State of Maryland has good,
valid and just claim upon the Government OF the
United States for reasonable and adequate com
pensaion for the said property, and that 1t ought
not to be doubted that the Federal Government.
when the passions excited by the late unhappy
civil ar shall have subsided, will recognize tho
Justice of the said claims and faithfully perform
her manifest duty in regard to it." e:r
The law requires the following:
The names of the former owners, at the time
of the adoption of the Constitution in the year
1864
ssThe names, number, age, sex and physical
condition of such slaves; whether they were
slaves for life or for term of years, and how
many years; whether they have been enlisted or
drafted into the United States so far as is known
to said owners or others; and into what regi-
ments they were placed, and what compensa-
tion if any has been received from the State or
General Government by such owner or owners
for such slaves SO enlisted or drafted into the
military service of the United States.''
The testimony required is the sworn state
ment of the for mer owner or legal representa-
tive, confirmed by the ''oah of at least two dis
interested Witnesses The record thus made
up is declared to be legal evidence upon all ques-
tions concerning the ownership of slaves in this
State al the time of the adoption Of the Constit-
ution by which said slaves were emancipated."

them is just their own weight, in any position
in which the wearer may place himself. Both

shoulder; while the centre piece or quadrangle
will adapt the suspender to any form of shoul-

motion of the body is allowed, producing
bracing effect, ease and comfort to the wearer
which cannot be secured in the use of the ordi-

exemption from unpleasant odor in warm wea-

The extensive use of these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers,
and Expressmen, the most exacting of watch
wearers has thoroughly demonstrated the strength,
steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Waltham
Watch. To satisfy that class in all these respects,
is to decide the question as to the real value Of
these time-keeeers.
More than 100 900 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
people-aproof and guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at Waltham, enable them to
produce Watches at price which renders compe-
titon futile, and those who buy any other watch,
merely pay from 25 to so per cent. more for their
watches than is necessary.
We are uow selling Waltham Watches at less
prices in greenbacks, than the gold prices before
the war; There is other manufacture of any
kind in the United States of which this can be
said
These tme-pieces combine every Improvement
that long experience has proved of real practical
use. Having had the refusal of nearly every in
vention in Matchmaking originating in this
try, or in Europe, only those were finally adopted
which testing by the most skilfu artisans in
our works, and long on the part of the public
demonstrated to be essential to correct and endur-
ing time-keeping
Among the many improvements we would par,
ticularize:
The invention and use of centre -pinion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakage of main springs, is original
with the American Watch Company, who, having
had the refusal of all other contrivances, adopted
Fogg's Patent pinion being the best and fault
less
Hardened and tempered har-springs, now
universally admitted by watchmakers to be the
best, are used in all grades of Waltham Watches
All Watham Watches have dust-proof caps
protecting the movement srom dust and les senng
the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in
other watches.
Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless watch
is already decided success and great improve
ment any stem-winding watch in the American
market and by far the cheapest watch of its quality
now offered to the public.
To CALIFORNIANS and others living in
portions of the United States where watchmakers
do not abound, watches with the above mentioned
improvements which tend to insure accuracy
cleanliness durability and convenience, must prove
invaluable.
Every watch bearing the trade mark of Waltham
is guaranteed to be thoroughly reliable time
keeper.
To nrevent ;mnosition buyers should invariably
demand certificate of genuineness.
The trade supplied by Messrs. R. B. Gray & Co.,
San Francisco. Cal, and generally fOr sale at retail
by all respectable dealers.

A .SINGULAR CAsE.-We were told few
days ago of a singular case of domestic inf
deity, which lately occurred in one of the
Some years ago a gentleman made visit to
his friends in the East, and while there fell
in love and married on short courtship
young lady seventeen years of age. The
couple soon after returned to this county, and
the fruits of their married life are four chill
dren, the youngest of tender age. Until
short TIME since the man and wife have en-
joyed that usual degree of domestic felicity
allowed to sinful creatures" Lately, how
ever, change came over the spirit of the
wife and mother. She suddenly ascertained
that her heart was another's, and had never
been her doting and loving husbands. She
unbosomed her secret to her lawful lord, tell
ing him frankly that she loved him not, and
that her soul aspired to embrace another man
"a gentleman living in the neighborhood -
The husband heard his wifes petition with
Christian forbearance, and, though deeply
attached to her, very calmly consented to the
separation-tellingh her to go if she would, but
If ever she needed pecuniary aid or felt
desire to return, he should be the first to be
applied to. The unfaithful wife accepted
these conditions, took up her bed and walked.
We did not learn what disposition was made
of the children. Considering all the cir
cumstances the public will consider this the
coolest con jugal transaction. ON both Sides

dict will be that the affectionate husband de-
served better interchangeable appeal,
