Our aim has been 10 have splendid assortment of Fine Watches-as fine as Europe can produce--this, in addition to full assortment of the low and medium qualities, we are now prepared to show the public, all of which will be sold at small advance on the importing cost. r.

The citizens of Fort Wayne doing up their

the Fort Wayne Times speaks much for their public
spirit aud enterprise.
Last April the Fort Wayne ard Lima Plank Road
Company have about forty rods Of plank laid down.
and at the setting in Of last winter. twenty
miles Of i;e roud completed. Before next win
ter this road will be extended TO fifty miles; in the

Ii is the intention to up this great Northern
plank road ia a rival work to the BeefoBaine road
but the comparison is made TO place the road in lis
light before the country, and induce the small
subscription of five thousand dollars from the citizens
