To Bayers of Watches Everywhere

The greatest part

worthless cast-iron machlnee,

uuder the same name or otherwise. Oars is the only genuine and really practical machine manufactured.

For the information of persons about to buy a watch, and who may be nnfavorably affected by the representations cf those unfrieadly to onr watohes, wo eali attention to the following suggestions:

Since the manufacture of watches was initiated at Waltham, the Company have made aud sold about 400,060 watches. In every town and village of the country some wearer of a Waltham Watch may be found, Let the party about to bay auk this owner of an American Watch this question:

BIS TOSS WATCQIGIVEN I0U SillSWCTIOJI We are not afraid to advise tboce wishing to buy a watoh to guide themselves by the answer. Being satisfied as to the quality of the watch, the buyer haa now only to satisfy himself that the Wal'ham Watches are THE OHEAPEST as well the best. On this bead we have a few words to say:

It is a well-known faot in manufacturing, tha tbe greater the number of articles manufactured by one establishment, the smallor will be the cost of each individual articio. Keeping this in View, our policy has always been to sell onr products at the lowest possible price in order to secure large sake, and thus enable us to manufacture watches at a minimum cost. WS BELIEVE IN SMALL PB0FIT3 AND A LABOR .BUSIN1S9S, This policy we have aucoessfnliy carried out, and the resalt Is, that tc-day we manufacture twico aa many watches as all the other factories In the United States pnt together. We ean, therefore, aflord to aell Cheaper than tbey can, and actually do aell Twenty-five per cent. Cheaper than tbey do, quality for quality.

We would Surther remark tbat in increasing onr productions, wo have constantly improved its QUALITY AND ITS YABIETY. We havo had the refusal ot nearly all inventions intended to improve timeeieces, and have adopted .11 those, and thoso only, whloh have proveJ to be really valuable. We have retained in our employment every head of every department we havo ever bad, whose services wore of any imdortance to tho Company, aud our (resent coips of designers aud master mechanics cannot bo equaled In this or any other country. In aldltion to thia we make gold and silver cases, not cnly for our own movements, but for those of other factories, ours being the only establishment that turns out watches compute In every respect.

the Jewtlersof the United

States keep Wallbam Watcbcs, and cordially recommend them to their customers, notwlth. standing the fact that less proBt is made on these watches than on any others generally sold by the Trade- Tie reason of this is, that the reputation of tho Waltham Watoh renders it an easy sale, and the resnlt is, that, although the dealer .does not make as muoh money on eaoti individual watch as he may on the sale of other watohes, he is still the gainer through larger and livelier sales. There are some, however, among the Trad:, who do not givo tbe Waltham Watch that hearty support which It deserves. This portion of the Trade fancy there is more money to he made by dealiug in watches about which the publio are ignorant, and In which there is less competition, and are eontent to make an occasional sale of saoh watches at a large proSt, It is this class .of dealers .who, when asked about Waltham Watches, use that kind of langasge whioh leads tbe customer finally to bny just such a watch aa is the most profitable for the dealer to sell.

BLAKE'S

TERRE-HA UTEi INDIANX* MARCH 24,1869.

DANIEL W. VOOBHXIS concluded hit last series of wrestling matches with "the naygur" on Saturday. We sincerely hope (he baa derived much enjoyment therefrom, for each of these encounters has cost the people about $100 in addition to any private subscriptions that may have been made, as well as the loss of time and incidental expenses of his hear erg. As thoy bave done no other imaginable good, it is very desirable that they should have pleased DANIEL and put him in that happy mental frame which generally results from a consciousness of having done "a big thing."

To-day tbe ribicund and joyous countenance of this would-be illustrious adversary of the pacific Sambo, will, as we are informed, be set towards the National Capital. Since Birnam wood traveled to Dunsinane, no tree or bush has possessed sucb mobility as our "Tall Sycamore of the Waba3h." This quality enables his friends in this district to repose often, for fitful periods, in his beatific shade, and it prevents him from remaining on duty in Congress, to which be has been repeated transplanted, but where he has utterly failed to take root. For five years this incomparable specimen of arborescent magnificence was all that stood between the people of his district and non-repre-sentation. During that period be was called upon 1315 times to put in a single word, that might often have been of controlling power, for his constituents. Was he there to do it? No. The record shows tbat 737 times he failed to respond.

Since the present session commenced, some nineteen days have elapsed, Of these, our Representative has been absent from his post of duty eleven days. We do not intend to indulge in unfair or ungenerous criticism of tnis public servant, but we do intend to hold up his record in its true light. The great interests of the West imperatively demand faithful representation. It is useless now to waste time in complaining of the manner in which VOORHEES secured his seat. He is our Representative in the Forty-first Congress, and we don't propose to fret about it.— Whatever he may do that shall be worthy of commendation, we will gladly and gratefully record. If he shall show a disposition to look after the interests of his constituents, those constituents will find in our columns a faithful report of all his efforts in their behalf. OR the other hand, we shall not hesitate to allude to his shortcomings nor to expose his neglect of the duties to which he is assigned.

LATK a number of the more influential journals of the South have evinced a desire to encourage emigration into that section. They are at length awaking to the truth, that if the Southern States are to be reconstructed, not only politically, but reconstructed in prosperity, the last vestiges of that antipathy to the settling of Northern men among thom, which was manifested after the war, must be removed. Capital is wanted in the South, and tbe intelligent of the Southerners know it. They feel the need, too, of a speedy introduction of tbe peculiar energy, enterprise and go ahead-a-tiveness of the North—qualities which they themselves, through the exigencies of the late conflict, are gradually acquiring but which they do not yet sufficiently possess in order to the early development of the resources of their section. A great deal still remains to be done in tbe South to return it to its olden prosperity, and that great deal will be tbe more quickly done as the agencies which prevail in effecting it are received, fostered and encouraged by tbe people of tbe South. As an evidence of this reaction amoBg the wide-awake Southerners, one of the South Carolina newspapers lately hailed tbe arrival of a party of Northern farmers, who intended settling in the State, as a most auspicious event, and looked forward with pleasure to the day when other thousands of them would be Ecitttered all over the South.

THE Mormons have lately been adopting the co-operative system in business and the Salt Lake correspondent of the New York <Times> mentions, among other movements in this direction, the selling out of the stock of the two most extensive business establishments there to a grand co-operative wholesale mercantile concern, under the name of "Zion's Co-oper-ative Mercantile Institution," of which establishment all faithful Mormons are expected to purchase when they desire merchandise by the package. He says that the distinctive, outward and visible symbol of business relationship to the movement is a sign over the store with the words, ''Holiness to the Lord"—in a semi-circle, surmounting the All-seeing eye, with the title of the concern underneath and this sign has been adopted by many Mormon retail stores. What would our business establishments hereabouts say to such a sign? =====

EXCHANGE furnishes an interesting account of a breach-of-promise case which was on trial in New York last week, the plaintiff in which alleges tbat one nigbt( at her mother's houpe, the defendant found a dry wieh-bone, and proposed that they should pull it. The bone broke, each holding a piece, and the central part fell upon tbe floor. This, tbe plaintiff holds, was interpreted by tbe defendant as a sign that they should marry soon. He explains by saying that he remarked, "it seems we are to be married at the same time wouldn't you like it?" Tbe plaintiff answered, modestly, "I'll bet I would!" This is a warning for unwilling bachelors to keep shy of wish-bones, or to pull them without after comment.

A STEIEINO commentary on the corruption and on the worthlessness of the New York judiciary is found in tbe fact that the recent action of Congress in placing the Union Pacific Railroad beyond the power of the New York courts has had a beneficial influence on the bonds of the company. Nothing could more emphatically support every charge that has been made, or prove more signally the prosti tution of the ermine.

MR. GILPIN, of Colorado, has written and argued that, under tbe Reeky Mountains are solid masses of gold of incalculable magnitude and weight. The celebrated Western scholar, Mr. CATLIN, has just communicated to the world his belief that a great river, "larger than the Mississippi," flows under the Rocky Mountains, and be is about to submit tho evidence which he has collected in favor of this startling hypothesis. The New York Timet suggests that the river will prove very convenient for transporting tbe masses of gold—when found.

REPOBTS from New Orleans and other parts of the South, show that negro labor is in greater demand this Spring than ever, and higher wages are offered to colored bands for plantation and other work than in any previous year. Tbis is the vejy best sign of the growing prosperity of the Southern States. There are enough hands, black and white, now in the South to raise four million bales of cotton this season, and if that amount of the great Southern staple is prepared for the markets of tbe world, it will give tbe Southern peopio a sufficient supply of ready money- to form a splendid basis of future power.

Crane had some difficulty with Age's brother on Sunday. The murder is said to have been unprovoked and premeditated. He told some one on Saturday if the Ages crossed his path he would kill one of them. Crane was drunk, and is said to have had a bad character in the community where he lived. The Mr. Age who was killed was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and was a respectable young man. —————

THE Indianapolis Commercial, Republican, has the following, which indicate* tbat somebody's ox has been gored:

Disappointed office-seekers who have returned from Washington, are loud and deep in their curses of Colfax. They say he don't even look at a Hoosier, much less recommend one for an ^office. They report that he says he will not aid offloeseekers. If this is true, the people should drap on him.

We don't believe that Schuyler Col* fax is either ungentlemanly or ungrate* ful, and when it is remembered that there are, on an average, about forty applicants for each office, it is easy to understand how a large proportion of themj "get their backs up." Let them go to work in some position in which they can maintain their s9lf-respeot—say at hodcarrying—and keep out of the laay, hungry pack who are at Washington howling for "plunder." Good men, we know there are who are trying to get office*! but if they don't feel a sense of sham* when they look around upon their associate office hunters, when they see the cringing, fawning, hypecrisy, and all tho' degrading arts that are practioed in that sink hole of iniquity called Washington, they are more callous than they ought to be.

THE following which we clip from the Muncie Times is not only "the sequel" to the case mentioned, but a speoimen brick from the huge pile of Indiana divorce cases:

We find tbe sequel of the Reardon divorce case in the Marriage Record at Capt. Greene's office. On the 24th ult., a license was issued to Patrick McCarty and Mary Reardon, and we suppose long before tbis Mary is enjoying again the sweets of matrimony. It will be remembered that Patrick's frequent visits to Reardon's house, and the kisses he stole from Mary's lips, were the cause of many heart burnings to Patrick, and probably the source of all their woes.

In a large majority of cases, the second matrimonial contract is already arranged Defore any steps are taken towards the abrogation of the first one. Marriage is fast coming to be regarded as "a mere civil contract," and wives and husbands are "put away" with less hesitancy than is often felt when a good horse or dog is parted with.

A beautiful young lady arrived at that town took rooms at the Grimes House, kept by a lineal descendant of "Old Grimessaid her husband would arrive soon husband didn't come along, but there was another arrival such as Tupper defines as "a wellspring of pleasure."

A MELANCHOLY accident happened about two miles north of Fort Wayne on Thursday, resulting in the death of a highly respectable lady, the wife of Jeremiah Ashaf. While engaged in putting her house in order during the absence of the rest of the family, it is supposed she in removing a loaded gun from behind a bureau accidentally discharged it, the contents entering her breast. Her husband returning about noon found her lying on the floor dead. The gun was on one side of her and a broom on the other. —————

On Saturday Mr. John B- Key bad been down in tbe city, and having but one good leg, was driven out to Mr. Givons's where he was boarding, by his son Dick, in a buggy. When they reached their destination, John met them and held tho horse, while Dick helped his father from the buggy. Mr. Key made his way into the house, and took a seat in the sitting room, where there were live or six ladies, some of whom belonged to the family of Mr. Givens, tbe others being visitors.— He had not been long in the house before John came and peeped in at the door, and quickly withdrew, returning rapidly with a pistol in his hand, with which he commenced firing on his father. Tbe first shot missed its aim, when Mr- Key raised up, threw up his hands imploringly, and exclaimed, "John, don't shoot me, Ob, my God I" Tbe second shot was fired as he attered these words, and took effeot in the forehead of Mr. Key, who fell to the floor, with the blood and brains ooeing from the wound, and almo.t immediately expired. Old Mr. Givens bad gone to the coal house for a bucket of cual, and was returning when he heard tfce filing. He opened the door to enter tbe room, when John Key turned and fired upon him, shooting him in the forehead just at the edge of tbe hair. He fell to tbe floor, and the murderer fired another shot at him, which missed him.

After completing his work of blood, the murderer left the bouse and oame to tbis city. He then went to the house of tbe Hen. Harrison Taylor, and told him what he had done, when tue gentleman told him to come with bim, and betook John Aey and delivered him up to Marshal Jjuman.

After a lengthy examination, John Key was ordered to be returned to jail, and Dick was remanded to the care ot tbe Marshal, to await a further examination in his case. John Key will be tried for murder in the first degree, at the April term of the Circuit Court.

John R. Key was buried Sunday afternoon. Mr. Givens is still alive, with but slim hopes entertained of his recovery.— John Key was aa old, gray-beaded man, the father of a family of four sons and two daughters. Mr. Givens is a highly-respected citix9n, aged seventy years, and tbe head of an interesting and respected family. 0 The cause of tbe murder is generally supposed to bave sprung out of some family disagreements. Tbe old geot'eaaan had broken up housekeeping, and rented his farm to Mr. Givetic, to whioh the boys, John and Dick, very seriously and indignantly objected. Thoy Wanted the father to keep me farm and let them cultivate it, and sought by various threats to compel him to do so. He would not comply with tbeir wishes, and they quarreled frequently. One year's lease had just expired, and the evening of the murder was set apart by Messrs. Key and Given to reduce to writing the contract for another year. To prevent tbis was the shooting and murdering done.
