Making Watches.

Defective Watch Cases are one of the chief
causes of so many watches not being good
time pieces. The cases being thin and not fit
ting we'll, admit dust and dirt to the move
ment, which soon interferes with the running
parts ofthe watch necessitating cleaning, re-
pairing, &C., and the amount thus paid out II
applied toward buying good case in the be-
ginning, would have saved all this trouble
and expense. We have recently seen a case
that meets all these requirements, 1t having
been carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS
PATENT STIFFENFD GOLD CASE, which has
become one of the staple articles of the Jewel
cry trade possessing as it does SO many adj
vantages over all other watch cases, being
made OF Two heavy plates of solid gold over
plate OF composition, and we advise all our
readers TO ask their Jeweler for card or cat
alogue thatwill explain the manner in which
they are made.
IL Is the only STIFFENED CASE made with
two plates of gold, seamless pendents, and
centre, solid Joints, crown pieces, &C.. all of
which are covered by letters patent. There
fore buy no case before consulting Jeweler
who keeps the JAS. BOSS PATENT STIFFEN-
GOLD CASE that you may learn the differ
ence between 1t and all limitations that claim
TO be equally as good.
For sale by all responsible Jewellers. Ask
to see tne warrant that accompanies each
case, ana don't be persuaded that any other
make OF case is as good.

AT DEER PARK,
DEER PARK. Sept. 26, 1888


We have to-day Joined with all the
fellow citizens of our favored but
now deeply sorrowing country, and
with many sympathizing friends
! throughout the civilized world, in
paying the last tribute of heartfelt
regard to our loved and lost Presi-
dent. Our church was very tastefully
and appropriately draped. in morn
ing. large engraving of President
Garfield being placed in a conspicu-
Gus position, and surrounded by a
handsome wreath of evergreen and
white flowers. The Postoffice, and
about dozen private residences tes-
tilted by their sable decorations to the
universal sadness of the day. The
bell was tolled for half an hour before
the memorial services, which com.
menced at half-past three. The Gar
rett Guards very kindly visited cur
village in order to be present on the
occasion, and after the firing of min
ute guns, marched to the church and
entered as the low solemn wall of
the Dead March in Saul arose from
the ergan, awakening in each SYM
pathizing heart an echoing note of
Sadness. Col. Tillson opened the
services by few remarks concerning
the occasion which had brought US
together, and was followed by Rev.
Mr.. George, who made a most ap-
prepriate and impressive prayer.
Cowper's beautiful hymn, "God
moves in a mysterious way" was
then sung, and we all felt that there
never had been a time when the as
surance was SO fully needed that
Behind frowning Providence
He hides shing face"
as in this season of our national grief.
But hard as 1t is to realize the reason
or necessity for such an affiiction we
still have faith to believe that,
God is mis- own interpreter,
And he will make it plain"
This hymn was followed by brief
but sadly eloquent eulogistic adj
dresses by Rev. M. Baumgardner,
of this place. and Messrs. Veitch,
Peddicord and Combs of Oakland.
Then all Joined in singing, "Nearer
my God to Thee" after which the
whole assembly united in three min
utes of silent prayer for our stricken
Nation, followed by most beautiful
and solemn chanting of the Lords
Prayer by Mrs. E. j. Roberts, of
Brooklyn, who voluntarily directed
the musical services and presided at
the organ. The benedictiOn was then
pronounced and the congregation
solemnly and silently left the church
during the singing of the grand old
hymn. 81 would not live Away"
Altogether the services were very
sorrowful and impressive, and sad
qualification to the many friends
here, who have been able in this last
demonstration to add theirs to the
thousands of similar gatherings that
have to-day honOred the memory of
our great and good but martyred
President.

The GuafGeaga Trial,

AsHINGToN,. December 13.-Witness
visited the Jail as professor Brown
Phrenologist, SO as to talk to the prison
er unaWares. Witness declines to express
an opinion as to whether Guiteau is able to
distinguish between right and wrong. or
whether he was morally responsible. But
since the prisoner has been a lawyer, he
has always known the legal consequences
| of his criminal acts.
Guiteau.-[ haven't been LAWYER for
five years, Judge. You see that don't help
you any.
Witness couldn't say anything about the
condition of the prisoner on July end.
Guiteau.--There was no depravity about
this case, at all. I think it's burning
shame for the prosecution to harp uDon
that word E'depravity p T have been a
consistent Christian all my life; and be-
cause committed adultery to get rid OF a
woman did not love, and owe a few hum
dred dollars, it is a burning shame for this
prosecution to blacken my character
Despite the cries of esSilence! silencel:,
and 'sOrder!" Guiteau continued to speak
out, at the top Of his voice:
I.amnot afrald.to go tosthe gallows If
the Lord Almighty wishes me to go there.
[ expect an act of God that will blow this
court and jury out of that window to pro-
tect me If necessary. I want to thunder

An Irresistible Impulse Deqlne5i.

" AsHINGroN, December I3.--Dr. For
dice Barker, a distinguished physician
! testified defining insanity in several phases
His comprehensive and positive conclu
7 sions all accorded with the theory Of tht
prosecution.
Judge Cox asked what the witness meant
by an irresistible impulse.
The witness explained that reversioni
Of e1notion to such degree as to produce
conduct entirely at variance with the inai-
yidual's former life and to such degree as
to completely control the will power would
constitute an irresistible impulse.
Guiteau asked: "Where a man is inn
PEELED to commit a crime by an impulse
he cannot resist, is he sane or insane?'
sWhen that fact can be proven, sir, it
is insanity 50
Guiteau.-ssThat's just my case, sir. -
With an air Of perfect satisfaction to Sco-
vile, "Come, that's the whole case. Let's
have recess. I'm getting hungry
Mrs. scoyille asked.-"Can man be
born insane?''
Guiteau.--ssYou keep still; it's all they
can do to put up with me''
The answer was: ffNo madam; he could
be born an idiot or imbecile, but insanity
is an acquired state after birth. .''z

Am opinion en- Geaiteau.

CHICAGO, December l3.-Emory storrs,
the eminent criminal lawyer, whose testi-
niony was such a surprise to the defense
in the Guiteau case, says: II think Guiteau
will be convicted. Crazy is not the right
word. Nothing has SO far appeared in
the case to indicate that he didn't at the
time OF the assassination Of the President
and before that and during all the time
since then, fully comprehend the differ
ence between right and wrong. He fully
understands the nature Of the act commit
ted and its consequences and consequently
there is nothing tending to show that he
had not control over his own conduct and
nothing tending to show that he was act
ing under an irresistible impulse, proceed
ing from a diseased brain, or from any
other cause. The public are pretty well
convinced that be has a very badly bal
anced mind, that he has not good, strong
common sense, and that he has an inordt-
nate desire for notoriety and would stop at
nothing to achieve it; but I have not seen
anything in the case TO Indicate that in 4
legal sense he was or Is insane. His burst
Of violence and his abuse Of witnesses and
others has been lndulged iii because he
thought himself safe in go conducting him
self. He has had 4 perfectly clear coalpre-
hension of the case from the commence
ment OF the trial OF the points involved.
Had he apprehended punishment of any
kind FOR these outbursts, have no doubt
he would have been entirely quiet. Judge
Cox fsa man Of very excellent standing
in Washington and doubtless has been
proceeding upon the assumption that he
would give the prisoner the largest latitude
possible 30 that there could be no error III
record or IN the proceedings. But Illave
no doubtft was III his power. as It is ii the
power OF every court, to maintain eon-I
mon deceney and order ia the proceedings
and that some method could be found for
Furnishing Guiteau for contempt either i'll
his position as counsel or ~ prisoner,
which would have been efTeeEual These
demonstrations have hurt Guiteau's s case
