PROCEEDINGS OF COUNTY COMMITTEES. We
publish elsewhere the proceedings of the Union
Republican County Central committee. They
have recognized to the fullest extent the resou-
tion adopted by the convention of 1867, and our
nominations are to be made as therein prescribed.
The platform put forward is brief and pertinent,
and the resolutions adopted inform candidates
what is necessary to be done by them in order to
get their names fairly before the people. Up 10
anxiety manifested by candidates for county Of
fees, not more than one or two having an
nounced themselves as aspirants for position.
Gentlemen offce-seekers, it is about time you
let the people know what you want.

TIE Coop TEMPLARs' PIcNIc.-There is hardly
a shadow of a doubt but that the picnic an
nounced by the Good Templars for the 25tb of
this month will be productive of more genuine
merrment and substantial enjoyment than any
thing projected at Weaverville for long wears.
Tales are current yet of the festive and JOYOUS
character of the German May feasts, but we be-
lieve the last was observed in 1861, and there
has been NO public entertainment of a general
and social nature since that time Since their
organization at this place the Good Templars
have fourished exceedingly, the major part of
the young gentlemen and young ladies in Wea-
yer basin are members of the order, and it will
be readily imagined that the festivities of the
25th are to be conducted under their auspices.
Nothing will be lacking that the most brilliant
conceptions of mirth-loying youth can contrib
ute, and the beauty of Weaverville are invited
and would not be absent for the world Read
the programme published to-day, and buy a
ticket to the picnic and ball.

WHAT HAPPENED COw.-Last Tuesday FORE
noon, as q number of cattle were going along the
trail near Sutherlin, McMurry Il Hupp's fume,
dscharging into Weaver creek, large and val
liable COW, belonging to Orson Fox, fell into the
fume at point about one-half mile above the
dump. The COW maintained her footing for o
while, but unable to get out, and the water
backed up until its accumulated force started
her down the fume. The poor animal voyaged
stern foremost through about one hundred boxes
her head and horns striking the caps as she went
knocking them of or breaking them in two, and
finally reached the end of the fume badly
bruised, with her horns sadly raced, there being
left only two bleeding stumps. How she made
the passage down is really matter of curiosity
she being Of large size and the fume but three
feet in width. Her companions seemed to real
ize her distress, following her she foated
along, bawling loudly, and, when she got upon
terra frna, gathered around her, apparently
lamentng over her misfortunes. Aside from
the loss of her horns the COW was not impaired
in value.

this no definite results have been obtained e1-

WATCHES.
WALTHAM
" afcheSs

THE extensive use of these watches for the
last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, En-
glneeTs and ExpTessmen-the most e~xactIng OF
watch-wearerx-has thoroughly demonstrated
the stree 9Th, steadiness, durability aud aceu-
rscy of the Waltham Watck. To satisfy that
class in all these res poets, is to decide the ques-
ton as to the real value OF these time-keepers.
More than zoo OO0 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets OF the
people-s proof and a guarantee of their supe.
riOrity over all others.
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at Waltham, enable
them to produce the watches at a price which
renders competition futile, and those who buy
any other watch, merely pay nom p to so per
cent. more for their watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches atleSs
prices in ~greenbacks, than the gold prices be-
fore the war. There is no other manufacture
Of any kind In the United States OF which this
can be said.
These time pieces combine every improve
ment that a long experience has proved of real
practical use. Having had the refusal Of
nearly every invention in matchmaking or
iginating in this country, or in Europe, only
those were finally adopted which severe testing
by the mo. It skillful artisans IN our works, and
long use on the part Of the public, demonstrated
TO be essential TO correct and enduring tirae-
keeping.
Among the many improvements we would
particulsrize
The invention and use Of a ee~nter-pinion OF
peculiar construction. 10 prevent damage 20
the train by the breakage of main-sprirgs is
original with the American Watch Company,
who having had the refusal OF all other con-
trivances, adopted Fogg's Patent PInion as be-
ing the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by Matchmaker TO be
the best, are used in al grades OF Waltham
Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust proof caps,
protecting the movement from dust. and les
sening the necessity of the frequent cleaning
neCes airy In other watches.
Our new patent stem-winder, or keyless
watch, is already a decided success, and a great
Improvement on any stem-winding watch in
the American market, and by far the cheapest
watch of its quality now offered TO the public.
To prevent imposition, buyers should inva-
demand a certificate Of genuineness. No
watches retailed by the Company.

that the proper way to arrive at this re-

referred to a committee disconnected
entirely with the idea OF censure, but
looking merely to an amendment OF the
