Our special.despatches fro . 1 Wash
ington. on the 26th conveyed' tl e infor
mation that the stone from th tomb of
Servitis Tollius, Sent to this country by
the Roman people as a tribute to the
memory of Mr. Lincoln, has been found
in the cellar of the White House. It
will. be remembered, that - on Friday
week, the day before the adjournment
of CongresS, Mr Judd t of Illihois, offer
ed a resolution, which was adopted,
reciting that— • ,
About a year since a stone eon-memo
rating the virtues of Mr. Lincoln has
beerijransmitted by thepeople hf Rome
to the - President of the United * States,
bearing the following inscription in
Latin: "The citizens of Rome dedicate
t his Stone, taken from the tom b ofSer vi us
Tullius, to Abraham Lincoln, a Presi
dent for the second time of the United
States of 'America, by which the- mem
ory of either brave defender. of liberty
xnay be' joined to that of the 'other."
He said that this beautiful memorial
had been allowed to remain in the cellar
of- the. White House' surrounded by
rubbish. It requested the President to
cause the stone to be sent to the House
of-Representatives, that it may have a
conspicuous place - m the National Capi
tol ; and if it cannot be found, directing
the officers in charge Of the public buil
dings to have search made for it, and
have it placed in 'the Old 11d11 of the
House of Representatives.
The fact that such a stone has been
sent was not known by a dozen mem
bers, and when-the resolution had been
11
adopted, and the day's session was
over, Mr. Judd' was overwhelmed with
interrogatories. It' appearS that the
stone arrived in - Washing - ton sortie ten
months ago, tint( was sent by the State
Department, to which it had been con
signed, to the Whitg, House. It lay .in
front of the Executive Mansion for sev
eral weeks,.during which time it was
relieved by servants of its boxing:- It
was then taken inside, subsequently
carried into the cellar, and finally placed
(for safe keeping, it is presumed) in one
of the coal-bunkers adjoining the fur
nace-room. Its inscription was seen
by a prying visitor, copied, and shown
.to Mr. Judd, who subsequently saw the)
stone. The resolution of Congress cols,.
cerning it was presented to the' Presi-;
dent on. Saturday morning, bu t the latest
report says that it has not yet beet
found (?) The warmest friends of Mr.
Johnson admit that the most charitable
supposition places him in a vely awk
ward position.
We are pleased to know that the. me
morial has, at last been fetind, and that
it will be properly cared for.—Philadel

AN Ohio paper tells a novel rove
story_: 'A young couple planned . an
elopement, the girl descending froni her
room upon traditional ladder, but at the
gatethey were met by the father of the
girl and a minister, by whom theyoung
couple were escorted to the parlor,
where to their surprise they found all
their relatives collected for the marriage
Veremonies, which took place at once.
It was a neat paternal freak. Not near
as neat as that of a fond parent we know
of. He heard his daughter and her fel
low I plan an elopement, The next
day the old man waited upon the young
one and addressed him thus: You're a
tine, brave youth, and I don't object to
you for a An-in-law:- Here'sa hundred
dollars to aid in the elopement. May
you live happily in the same house, and
may no accidents occur to throw the
least shade on the sunshine of your
life. AllII request is; that you elope
with 'my datighter—she's a mighty
nice girl, you know, but somehow her .
mother and Icould never travel smooth
ly with her, we don't know her good
points—elope with her to such a dis
tance that she won't return to her lov
ing father and mother any more.. Good
bye, sonny, and nlay you be happy."
There w/as an eloetnent that evening
alone- The you ig man went unac
companied. He thought everything
li
couldn't be right when the old cock was
so.anxious io tri.t: O.' .-'' "- 5:". ' I " -
father looks upon thiS net as a very neat_
bit of strategy, for one who had never
been on McClellan's-staff.
Montgomery Blair is stumping Vir
ginia in behalf of Democracy, and in a
late speech accused the Republicans of
being the only party that ever e..isted.
in this country that did not at heart
profess to act in deference to the Consti
tution. We beg leave to inform Mr.
Blair that the 'Republican party has
done more to preserve the Constitution
than all the other parties combined;
that - had it not been fo Republican
energy and . wisdom he would not now
have a Constitution to:. talk about.
Where would the Constittition be if the
Democratic party had been intrusted
with-its care? Probably in some old
paper shop. We have that the
, noise about the violation of the Consti
tution generally comes from, men who
did the most to deStroy or the least to
preserve it. The Rebels who adjured
its authority, and tried `to slash it to
pieces with. the drawn sword, are now
eager to use it as the means of getting
into power; Mr. Johnson, who once
had the effrontery to say, "Whenever
you hear a man prating about the Con
stitution, spot .him—he is a traitor,"
now talks more of it, and does less for
it, than - any public man in America.
' Mr. Blair's new friends, the Democrats,
throughout the war, gave all their sym
pathies to the worn foes of the Consti
tution. The Republican party not only
preserved the sacred instrument, but
improved it. Let it never be forgotten
that to Republicanism the Constitution
owes Article XIII.; prohibiting Slavery
throughout the United States.—.2V. Y.

Who appreciates the fact that there is
any great importance attached to such
a. commodity as a PILL ? It is gener
idly supposed that anybody 'can make
them, as all can take them. But visit
the laboratory of Dr. J.C. Ayer and
you will be disabused•of the .idea, that
it is a trifle to make any medicine and
adapt it to the wants of" millions of
men to so adjust it to their needs, and
so cure their complaints, as to make
ttiena its constant customers in all the
zones. Physicians find it requires some
skill to adapt their doses to a single pa
-tient : ask them if it is net an intricate
problem. to adjust a purgative pill to the
necessities of untold numbers, so that it
shall benefit them nearly all. Dr. Ayer's
laboratory supplies - 60,000 doses of hisi-
Pills •per diem, or

A PLEDGE RENEWED,
In the Month nf A.Dril„lB6s. in fni
view of the disgraceful exhibition madl
of himself by Andrew Johnson upo
the occasion of his inauguration a fe •
weeks previously, we asked the frien
of order to unite with us in a sole
pledge not to support for a position
trust any inaii whose habits were si
lar. In this request there wasineith
prejudice nor rancor, no motive p
seeding from sudden impulse, no atr:
wing for effect, and no desire to' inv'
i new issues, or to complicate politics.'
As for the time when we were not t
firm friend and advocate of temperan
we do not recollect it. We have nel,e
used, as a beverage,' either distilled 01
brewed liquors, but claim no credit fix
that. „The appetite for such things
never afflicted us ; but knowing thei.
perious nature of such appetites, we ,
gaild the man who overcomes them tv
a'greater hero than Alexander. Pro •
bly not many men are so utterly de
. manized as not to rejoice at the ema e,

The misrhle, the vicious legisl ti,

Jeeps. This Republic presents.the dis
gusting spectacle of a-Govertinient by
drunken caprice, rather than_ enlight
ened reason, by unhealthy impulse, not
by steady principle. For litiniiess we
have nameless infirmity, for healthy re
sistance, wilful obstinacy. Mr. John
!son has no dignity, but only drunken
gravity'. Ills son and private Secretary
is a shameless sot, s and his soil-in-law,
a Senator of the United States, is his
beastly equal: Thus the presidential
Mansion is besotted, and the evil effect
is apparent everywhere.
Friends, "What shall we do to "be
saved?" as a people ) , " The President
sprees it, and: it's n 4 worse for me," re
plies the young man to remonstrance.
So, every inebriate has his seape-goat.
The nation feels this; demoralization =to
the core. If it be not met and checked
society will fall in pieces:- • For this rea
son we have here; ripely, set oUr feet in

shall stand, if alone, then alone be it,
and if with the majority, then so be it;
but let no man imag t fue that there is
any discharge in this war. The woun
ded must taint where they fall, and the
dead must bury their dead. So, never,
'while we enjoy the - favor of the Al
mighty, shall this hand knowingly cast
a vote, or this pen advocate, the prefer
ment of any man who is not his own,
undisputed master, and. who exhibits
himself as a vim of incontinent ap
petite.

We publish on the first page of this
paper the address - of the State Central
Committee to-the Republicans of Penn
sylVapia. Its brevity' recomknends it
to the reade?, and its zeal in advocating
the claims of Judge Williams for the
Supreme Beuch is commendable. Mr.
Greeley, in the Tribune of July 30, re
grets that Judge Sharswood's record of
thirty years ago is brought forward to
count agtinst bim. We regret, with
Mr. Greeley, that any man should have
an unpleasant record, and thatit should
be necessary to unearth it on. an -occa
'e I sion like this; but, for the State-Rights
men of 30 and 60. years ago we have no
it respect. The sum total of that doct,rine
s was to put a State above a community
b of States of which it made but one.
We shall never vote for any man who
held to such narrow and destructive
d doctrines until he brings forth „fruits
e meet for repentanO. No man who ac
cepts a Domination from a Copperhead
C6nvention, at this stage of the game,
gives evidence of such repentance.-
As to the purity of an elective
s ary, of which the Tribune speaks, that
d is neitnr here nor there. Some people
are continually trying to achieve Im
possibilities; and this nonsense about
securing a pure Judiciary by election is
sheer folly. The people flung the Judi
ciary into the political arena, and there
it will remain until the people drag it
out. Never yet has there been an elec
tion for Judge at all contested, in which
the issues havalaotheoia.murelyamlitinal--
(kr personal. No sooner was our candz
dlzte in the field than all the brainless
1,
.ppppies in central and southern Penn
6-,lvania began to bark at hiin as a New
England man; as if a man was any bet
ter, or worse, for being born, in one
Itlace rather than another ! Gladly shall
#re welcome the entrance of mankind 1
into angelic perfection! but to ask the 1
race to ' conduct a, political campaign
upon angelic principles, is too much.
So far as this paper - is concerned it
will not meddle with Judge Sharswood's
s nativity, his domestic affairs, or his
; i• private character. We are glad that be
1s an able lawyer, and fid far as we
J r know, an unexceptionablecitizen. But

Much may be forgiven to Andrew
Johnson, but we doubt if the American
people will pass over his action in the
following affair, which we relate as we
find it in the Washington Correspon
dence of the Cincinnati Gazette, with
out severely censuring him.
Sometime after the murder of Mr. Lin
coln certain Roman citizens took a stone
from the tomb of Serving Tullius, the
Roman Liberator, and after engraving
on it an inscription dedicating it to
Abraham Lincoln despatched it to
Washington. It arrived late in the fall
of 1865, and was deposited . boxed as it
came, upon - the porch of the White
House. There it lay for several weeks,
until one side of the box was battered
off exposing the stone to view. At last,
somebody complained of the treatment
of the gift, and it was token inside and
used as a footstool Oder a winddw
where orderlies and attendants sat.
Finally, it was 'deposited In the coal
hole of the White House cellar, where
it was discovered the other day by some
adventurous visitor.- Ole inscription
upon the stone is translated thus:
" The citizens of Rome dedicate this
stotM, taken from the tomb of tienius
Tullius, to Abraham Lincoln, President
for a second term of the United States
of America, by which the memory of
either brave defender ofliberty may be

A SAD STORY.—The Watertown ,Rc
former gives the details of a sad chapter
in the recent , disaster on Lake Ontario.
Among the passengers of the steamer
Wisconsin, burned near Ca- Vincent,
'vas a Mr. Chisholm, from Canada, on
his way to Missouri in company with
his wife and six children.• He was a
man about fifty-five years old, bad
bought , alarm in the State to which_ be
was traveling, and was 'moving with
his family and goods. • 'When the fire
broke out he was sitting en deck, / but
his wife and children had retired for
the night. He called them hurried
ly and, sought to save their • loves, in a
most unfortunate- way ; One of the
small boats - was let down to about a foot
of the water, and about twenty passen
gers leaped into it, and Mr.Chish olm assisted his wife, three daughters and a
son to get in. One of the / frightened
crowd cut with a knife the rope, which
connected the bow of the small' boat
with the 'davit, and the loosened end
'dropped down like a spoon, and at once
fllVtd with water.
The passengers were thrown out and
nearly all drowned. This happened
not.more than a minute and; a half be
fore the . steamer struck the shore on
Grenadier Island, and had all remained
on board, as the captain ordered, not a
life would have been lost. Mrs. Chis
holm, the three daughters, aged respect
ively twenty-seven and fifteen, and the
boy of eleven years, were all drowned.
The father and the two elder sons, who
stunk to the steamer, were saved. Mr.
Chisholm bad $ 4,000 in greenbacks, his
only fortune, which was in: his wife's
satchel , an d was destroyed by the flames.
Thus he was left in a strange land, a
widower, bereft of four children, with
out money or property, with his great
grief resting upon his spul, to commence
the world anew. The bodies of his wife
and children were recovered, and have
been interred in the graveyard at Cape
Vincent, and thesad, heartbroken hus
band and father, with his. two remain
ing sons, will go on to .his homeless
home in the West. Few life dreams
have sadder chapters than this !
BURGLARY.—On Tuesday night some
persons in whom the desire•to accumu

to the county offices, then entered and
Inserted a wire into the lock, t.,he wire
being fastened to a gimlet screwed into
the casing. This prevented all ingress
in that direction. They then proceeded
up stairs and picked the lock to the
Treasurer's office. The lock to the
vault they filled with powder and touch

ges of fine heavy iron doors, both the in
side and outside, were started, and they
must have thought their object was in a
fair way of being accomplished. En

attention. This was broken open when
the immense sum of about $3 in pennies
And threecent fractional currency, greet

to take them. ,The office papers were

ACCIDENTS.—The present week opens
up Fruitful of accidents. On Monday
morning Richard C. Dingier was en
gaged hauling in grain when, the hors

upset falling upon him and breaking
his leg above the knee. He was attend

well as could be expected.
On the evening of the same day
William Nepley, of Porter township,
fell off the dam at Phelps Mills dislocat
ing his wrist. He was successfully
treated by Dr. McKinney. This is a
more dangerous accident than a simple
broken bone would be, but we• have no
doubt that if he takes care 'of himself
tbe Dr. will bring him through.— Vi

A side track has been recently laid at

house for loading heavy freight into the

from the boat. A. boat is now unloading
a quantity of iron ore from Lake Super

SEWING MACHINES
We Claim for the Florence the following advan
tagee over any and all Sewing Ma
chines in the World:
It makes four different *Mau, tho. lock, knot,
double lock, and double knot, on one and the
sante machine. Edch stitch being alike on both
aides of the fabric.
Every Machine has the reversible feed motion,
which enables the operatori by simply, turning a
thumb screw, to have the work run either to the
right or loft, to stay any part of the seam or
fasten ,the ends of seams, without turning: ,
fabric.
Changing [ the length of stitch, and from one
kind'of stitch to another, can readily be done
While the Machine is in motion.
' The needle is easily adjusted, and does not skip
stitches.
It is almost noiseless, and can be used where
quiet is necessary.
Its motions are all positive ; there are no
springs to get out of order, and its simplicity en
ables any one to operate It.
It does not require finer thread on tho under
then for the upper side, and will sow across the
heaviest seams, or from one to more thicknesses
of cloth, without change of needle, tension,
breaking thread, or skipping stitches.
The - Hemmer is easily adjusted and will turn
any width of horn desired. '
No other Machine will do so' great a range of
work as the Florence.
It will hem, fell, bind, gather,brald, quilt, and
gather and sew on a raffle at the same tinie. It
has no springs to got out of order, and will last
a life time.
It is fully protected and licensed by Elias
Howe, Jr.. and our own Letters Patent.
' The taking up of the stack thread is not per
formed by the irregular contraction of a wire coil
dr uncertain operation of springs, The precision
and accuracy with which the Florence draws'the
thread into the cloth is unapproached in any
Sowing Machine hitherto offered in the world.
We furnish each Machine with " Barnnm's
Self-6ower," which guide the work itself, and is
of incalculable value, especially to inexperienced
operators.
While possessing the above, and many other
advantages, the Florence is sold at correspond
ing prices with other first-class Machines, and a
careful examination %vill fully substantiate all
that wo have claimed for it, and justify the asser 7
Lion wo now make, that it is the boat Sewing Ma
chine in the world.
We warrant ovary Machine to be all that wo
claim for it, and to giver entire satiefaction, and
will give a written warranty, if required.

AMERICAN WATCH C414'4111
IVA LTITAItI, A i
This Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 185 A, and
their factor); now covers lourneres or ground,
and has cost more than a mlllion dollars, and
employe over 4 700 operatives. They produce 75,-
000 Watches ri ..yepr, and make and sell not /048
than one-half of nil the tvatehes sold in the lini.
ted States.
The did's:rat:ea between their manufacluie and
the European, is briefly. this : European Watches
are made almost f entirely Amid, and the - result'
is of neaeSsity a Hick of that' 'uniformity, which
is intlisphnsable to correct time keeping., Both
the eye and the hand of the Most skillful opera
live' must vary. But it-is . n fact .that, except
watches of the higher grados,'Europoan watches
arc the produottif the cheapest labor of Swftz.
erland, and the result is the worthless Ancres,
Levines and so called Patent Lovers—which Boon
cost more in attempted repairs, than', their origi
nal price. Common workmen, boys and women,
buy the rough separuto parts of these watches
from various factories, polish and put them to
gether, and, take them to the nearest watch mer
chant, who stamps and engraves them with any
name or brand that may be ordered.
How American Watches aro Made.
The American Waltham Watch is mode by nu
such uncertain process - -.and by no such incoru.
potent workmen. All the Coinpany's operation,,
from the reception of the raw materials to ti
completion of the Watch, ire' carried on under
one roof, and udder one skillful and competent
directiun. But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watehop, is the fact., that their several
parts are all made by the finest, the most perfect
'and delicate machinery ever* brought to the aid
of human industry.' Every'4ne th'eusos'e than .
a hundred parts of every watch is math) by
machine—that infallibly rep•roduces every
eeeding part with the most tunvarying aceura
It was only necessary. to m i al6 ono perfect
of any particular style an then to adjust
hundred machines ne'ecs4ry to reproduce ON
part of that tvrtleit, anti it folltiviii that every
