This from the antiquarian depart
ment OF the Hagerstown Morning
Herald: "Jeweler j. Walker Fell of
West Washington street repaired a
watch last week reputed to be the one
once in possession of Louis XIV,
King of France in the Seventeenth
Century, and presented to that mon
arch by the Italian magician, Prin-
etto. The timepiece is a most deli
cate piece of mechanism, and very
curious. 1t consists of a golden
frame, circular in form, with three
glass dials in the front piece, one Cir
culating about the minute hand, one
about the second hand and the third
about the hour hand, the hands
themselves remaining stationary on
a small pivot. The mechanism is
cleverly concealed in the circular
frame, moving in perfect time with
the three different glass dials. The
watch was given to Mr.. Fell to be
cleaned by a Mr.. Joseph l.. Reed,
travelling man of Knoxville, Tenn.
Mr. Reed stated that the watch was
presented to him by an English Army
officer some years ago in Mexico upon
the latter's death"

To the editor of The Republican
The subjoined communication APP
peared in the issue of the Morgantown
Dominion and as it fits the condition
of things in Oakland with respect to
the nuisances complained of, ask
that you will give it space in your
columns this week. SUBSCRIBER.
The communication above referred
to as appearing in our West Virginia
contemporary follows:
Dogs! Did you say, Dogs? Was it
dogs mentioned?
Well, there are dogs, and there are
dogs. There are few dogs in Morgan
town.
a man passed down street a few
minutes ago with four distinct, indi-
yidual dogs following him. He was
was representative citizen.
He likes dogs.
You must like dogs or you are not
in it with this population-you are
foreigner.
You may not like to have dog
yourself, but then you must like your
neighbours dog and like to have them
visit you and upset your garbage bar
rel and scratch up your flowers and
SIGH.
Now, there is a neighbor of mine
who likes flowers. She is verv fool
ish woman or she would prefer dogs.
But she persists in planting little
flower bed, and every dog in town Wis
its that flower bed every day.
1t is just across the street and when
l have a leisure hour just sit at the
window and count the dogs at that
flower bed.
They come IN a procession. They
take a sniff at the flowers and then
scratch with all four feet.
Then when all the dogs in town
have had their sniff at that flower bed,
the patient lady comes out and looks
around somewhat dazed and then be-
gins to gather them up and replant

her precious flowers.

heI precious mowers.
When she has finished and retired
the country dogs begins to file into
town-for every vehicle has from one
to two dogs following it.
These country dogs seem to like
flowers too. But the town dogs some
times object to them shifting our town
bouquets and they fight over this
neighbours flower bed. And then, if
you could see that flower bed some
evening when all the dogs in town
have sniffedit, and when all the coun-
try dogs have fought for a sniff-well
it is then that just go into my back
ward and take "a laff' all to myself
But this lady and some other
neighbors hear talking over the
back fence about putting out some
dog pizen."
But the owners Of fine dogs are op-
posed to "pizen.n
They say it is 'ornery' and mean"
to ''pizen dog"
1t is certainly very hard on the dog.
But then these neighbors say they
have a perfect right to put out
pizen" on their own premises, and
no dog will get hurt if he stays at
home. Every man, they say, has
right to keep a dog, or two dogs, or a
dozen dogs, if he keeps them at home,
but he has no more right to let his
dogs forage on my premesis tEan his
COW or his horse.
So these neighbors held caucus
and then called convention and
passed resolutions to''put out pizen"
and plenty of it.
AS am a middle f-the- road mug
wump and don't have any dog or any
flowers | thought would just report
the proceedings of this convention,
and as times is little dull this sea-
son" | suggest that dog fanciers also
call convention and pass resolutions
and adopt platform, and that we
enter upon a summer campaign to
determine whether anybody has any
rights in this town that the dog
ought to respect.

hardest to keep the nose of the boat
off the shoals and sandbars. We con-
graduate ourself, however, that no
mishap occurred, butithis was made
possible by following the instructions
whispered in our ear by the chief en-
gineer who knew the location of shall
low places.
The boat acted beautifully and the
sensation of being aboard II vessel
propelled by power away up here
nearly three thousand feet above tide
water was celebrating in the ex-
IRENE. The speed made exceeded
ten miles an hour.
At the lake besides the yacht,
which is appropriately named
Mountain Lake." there are ten new
boats of excellent construction which
are propelled by oars and which will
be kept in commission during the
coming season.
