'SAMUEL SLOKORT," EAI.IRATAN SHARP PRACTICE :—Swindling in every forte appears to be the order of the day. The latest specimen is the following, which was brought to our notice a few days since, by a neighbor, who had just received the joyful intelligence of his "good luck." About four weeks since quite a number of our citizens received a pamphlet and several tickets, by mail, which purported to be issued by the Merchants' and Manufacturers' Stock Company of New York, doing business at 556 Broadway. The tickets entitled the holders to large prizes in case they held lucky numbers, always •providing the holder•sent the Company $5 for each of said package of tickets. We hope no one in Marietta was verdant enough to send the swindlers the $5. Now follows the sharp part of the transaction. A day or two since, our friend, as above, received a written letter—and we pre sume others received the same kind of letter—of which the following is a true copy : • llppository of the Merchants' and Manufacturers' United Stock Compatty, No. 556 Broadway, J. J. Granger, corresponding secre• tary, New. York, July 16, 1866. H. D. Benjamin, Marietta, Pa. Dear Sir :—Some time since, at your request, we forwarded pamphlet contain ing six tickets. You neglected to send money for the same, One of the num bers has drawn a prize valued at one hundred and thirty dollars. Please re mit amount for the tickets, $5, and in form us by what express the prize shall be sent. • I am yours, respeotfully, J. D, MILLER, The "at your request, &c.," being false, our friend , never having written a line to the party. P.

Commencing with Jacob Rock, who is 92; Samuel Bailie, 88; Samuel Hopkins 88; John M. White hill, 78; Jacob Funk, 80; John IT. Goodman, 78; John Hildebrandt, 77; James Wilson, 76; Jacob Stahl, 70; Reuben Welchans, 70; William Weid• ner, 71 ; Benjamin Garman, 70 ; George Kramer, 75 ; Samuel D. Miller, '75. Captain Miller is the oldest settler in the borough, having arrived here in 1809, whilst Marietta was yet in two villages, called gew Haven and Water ford. Of the above list there is bet one ( Mr. Rock) who is confined to the house, and only two ( Mr. R. and Mr. Wilson) who could not, if 'twere neces sary, make a "full hand at his trade." All but Mr. R. are very active men and can be seen daily on our sidewalks, as active as men of fifty. The temperance society of this borough intend holding a " Harvest Home "-in Mr. Duffy's park, on Wed nesday, August Ist. to which all temper ance organizations and the public gen erally are cordially invit ed.

The Wisconsin Northwestern very truthfully says "In its peculiar field, the Lady's Book is, and always has been, a long way ahead of all competitors." Cni r 7cl, PITCHER.—The following simple mode of keeping ice water for a long time in a common pitcher is worth knowing. We have tried it :—Place between two sheets of paper ( newspa per will answer, thick brown is better) a layer of cotton batting, about half an inch in thickness ; fasten the ends of the paper and batting together, forming a circle ; then sew or paste a crown over one end, making a box the shape of a stovepipe hat, minus the rim. Place this over an ordinary pitcher filled with ice-water—making it deep enough to rest on the table so as to exclude the air—and the reader will bo astonished at the length of time his ice will keep, and the water remain cold after the ice has melted. ar The Postmaster General is mak ing a stir about the use of the franking privilege. It is understood that some members of Congress allow other parties to fac similie stamps of their own names on envelopes for which a consideration is paid, and thus the postal revenue is defrauded. The great difficulty is to know how to put a check upon this de spicable practice. Ca - Don't take too much interest in the 'affairs of your neighbors. Seven per cont. will do. A TIMELY WARNING TO THE SlCK—ft is especially important . at this time, when the markets of the United States are flooded with the direst poisons, under the name of imported liquors, and when domestic compounds pur porting to be medicinal, but not a whit less pernicious, are heralded to the world as ',sove reign remedies," that the public should fully understand the facts. Be it known, then, that while all the diffusive stimulants called liquors are impure, and all the Tonics containing al cohol are manufactured with a fiery article containing amyl or fusel oil, a mortal poison, OSTETTER'S CELEBRATED STOMACH BITTERS contain none of these things, but are a combination of pure essence of Rye with the pure juices of the most valuable stomachic anti-bilious and aperient herbs and plants, and thiit as a safe and rapid.remedy for Dys pepsia and all its kindred complaints, this preparation stands before the world without a rival or corn petitor. Its sales to-day are equal to the combined sales of all the other tonics advertised in the United States, and the certi ficates which authenticate its usefulness are signed by individuals of the highest standing in every professional calling and walk of life.

Benjamin. REASONS WHY Otrt Autumn 'Olatt4 MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS., IS TFIF. BEST. It is made on the best principle. Its frame is composed of SOLID PLATES. No jar can interfere with the harmony of its working and no sudden shock can damage its machine ry. Every piece Is made and finished by ma chinery (itself famous for its novelty, as well as for its effectiveness) and is therefore pro perly made. The watch is what all mechan ism should be—ACCURATE, SfIVIELE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Except some high grades, too costly for general use, foreign watches are chiefly made by women and boys. Such watches are composed of several hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together, and require constant repairs to keep them in any kind of order. All persons who have carried "nacres," " lepines," and "En glish Patent levers," are perfectly well aware of the truth of this statement. At the beginning of tour enterprise, more than ten years ago, it was our first object to make a.',ltioroughly good low priced watch for the million, to take the place of these 'foreign impositions—the refuse of foreign factories— which were enti yunsaleable at home and perfectly worthless everywhere. How well we have accomplished this may be understood from the fact, that after so many years of public trial, we now make MORE THAN HALF OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES, and that no others have ever given such universal sat isfaction. While :this ' department of ou r business is continued with increased facilities for perfect work, we are at present engaged in the manufacture of watches of the very HIGH EST GRADE KNOWN TO CHRONOMET RY, unequalled by anything hitherto made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by anything made in the world. For this purpose we have the amplest facilities. We have erected an addition to our main buildings expressly for this branch of our business, and have filled it with the best workmen in our service. New machines and appliances have been construc ted, which perform their work with consum mate delicacy and exactness. The choicest and most approved materials only are used and we challenge comparison between this grade of our work and the finest 'imported chronometers. We do not pretend', to sell our watches for less money than foreign watches, but we do assert without fear of contradiction that for the same money our product is incom parably superior. All our watches, of what ever grade, are fully warranted and his war rantee is good at all times against us or our agents in all parts of the world, CAUTION.—The public are cautioned to buy only of respectable dealers. All persons selling counterfeits will be prosecuted. ROBBINS & APPLETON, Agents for the American Watch. Company, 182 Broadway, N. Y. [June 23, Imq NEW GOODS At Greatly Reduced Prices.

L ADIES TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE THE REAL VALPAU FEMALE PILLS! [WARRANTED FRENCH. ] These Pills, so celebrated many years ago in Paris, for the relief of female irregularities, and afterwards so notorious for their criminal employment in the , practice of abortion, are now offered for sale for the first time in Amer ica. They have been kept in comparative ob scurity from the fact that the originator, Dr. VALPAU, is a Physician in Paris : of great wealth and strict conscientious principles, and has withheld them from general use, lest they should be employed for unlawful purposes. In overcoming female, obstructions they seem to be truly omnipitent, bursting open the flood gates from whatever cause may have stopped them ; but they are offered to the public only for legitimate uses, and all agents are forbid den to sell them when it is understood that the object is unlawful. For sale by Dr. F. Hinkle, Marietta ; P. A. Pyle, Mountjoy ; H. D. Parry and R. Wil liams, Columbia, and druggists generally. Ladies can procure a box, sealed from the eyes of the curious, by enclosing $1 and six postage stamps to .G. STAPLES, General Agent for us, Watertown, New-York, or to any or the above agents.

N view of the coming elections new and I extensive arrangements have been made to give even greater variety and interest to The'Viashington Weekly Chronicle, The necessity of maintaining the fruits of our great victory, and of strengthening those eternal principles upon which alone republi can liberty car. safely rest, will give extraor dinary vitality to approaching political con tests. Stationed here at the National Capital. the CHRONICLE possesses peculiar *dean tages to aid the common cause. Having been conducted almost within the sound of the rebel cannon during all the war, and therefore fully understanding the intrigues and projects of the traitors, it will not fear to speak out boldl, in response to and in reflection of the sentiments, of the free. millions of America, and will defend them and their interests against all opposition, come from what quar ter it may, Since the meeting of the present Congress of the United States, and the enun ciation of that thorough policy which has com manded the admiration and gratitude of the people, the CHRONICLE has maintained its poeitisn "solitary and alone." Traduced and misrepresented as these majorities have been, the Chronicle as their sincere and fearless de fender, has been assailed with equal virulence and injustice. But it has been honored with the approval of the loyal people in all parts of the country. For the first time in the history of the Government, a prosperous weekly news paper, opposed to human slavery, fully com mitted to the policy 'and doctrines of the radi cal men of the Republic, has been firmly es tablished in the District of Columbia. We are on the threshold of events not less important than those .which astounded the civilized world and shook the Republic to its founda tion. These will demand extraordinary ener gy and fidelity on the part of the public lead ers, whether in Congress or the press. The WEEKLY Cnnorircux is beautifully printed in quarto form. During the session of the present Congress, which promises to be a protracted one, the subjects debated will ex cite universal interest, and as they will be frankly and thoroughly examined and dis cussed in the Chronicle, as in both branches of Congress, this journal cannot fail to be a most useful and popular visitor to all loyal circles. 1 therefore cheerfully invoke the aid of the friends of the cause in the different States and territories.
