an Apache warwhoop the band flew to the

foundland dogs, curled up in an old barrack

worse off for their disappointment in not

An Effort 10 Conference.-The turn
pike from Rockville to Georgetown, d. c.,
is very unsightly road, besides the danger
it presents and the enormous wearand tear
it makes upon wagons and horse-hesh.-
With these inconvenience staring our cti-
zens in the face they are charged high toll
upon it. In view Of all this, Mr.. VIM. II.
Gather has become the instigator Of pro-
lect to have the pike condemned and these
unsightlv objections, previously spoken of,
removed, with a general improvement by
are county. This is a proper move, and if
successful would be the earnest of the piking
Of our county roads. A bill has been before
Congress asking for the condemnation OF
that portion of the pike within the District
line. There is no opposition to the bill, but
it has hung there without any definite ac-
ton upon it. If this bill should pass, that
part of the road will then be under the su-
pervision of the District authorities, and be
made passable like other outlets from the
District In his movement Mr.. Gather in
vites cooperation from every quarter. This
gentleman is untiring, and lie has completed
TO our knowledge, several public enterprises
which at the outset seemed not easy to over.

in the bend of the river, when his chain
caught in a bush and threw his watch
into about twelve feet Of water. and he
was about two hoir> finding it. When
he got it ont it was running and he
thought all right. In about three

This case is formed in one solid piece

only. thus avoiding the usual cap. and
securing greater strength aud durability.
These watches are all open face. The
bczel. into which an extra strong crystal
is ttted with an especially prepared

case by screwing it thereon, and thus
forms an air-tight junction with the
body Of the case, which is proof against
