a. .AxERrcAy WArcHEs.-lt is generally
known that watches Of American manu-
f.cture are now coming into extensive
use. They are characterized BY several
features Of special peculiarly. Tho FRS!
Of ,he,e Is tho absence Of the fusee and
ch.ia., These parts, which wsre very
necessary for squalizing the force in the
old verge watch, are coatinued By the
English in the modsrn lever watch, but in
The Swiss watches which perform 30 ex-
cellentIy, 10 such parts exist. The second
feature il sdch On arrangement Of the
parts u 70 lesson the liability Of the watch
to stop from the pressure Of foreign SUBJ
stances, q The same time to facilitate the
discovery Of any cause Of arrangement,
almost the entire traia being fully open 70
visw. Tho third and distinguished fea-
turs IS tho principle Of making every
watch and every pant the duplicate Of ev.
cry other. This plan has been so far ad-
heredtsshat every movement will fit every
case, ard maay fasts can b transferred
from watch % ws1ch without alteration.

BAD BRANDY.-Porter's Spirit Of tho
Times warns the good people Of N. York,
who occasionally take \ little ''for the
stomach's sake" not to drink brandy, or
rather the red liquid which is handed 10
them at tavern counters, under that name.
The editor says: 1t is well known fact
that there Is scarcely bar room in that
city, however extensive, elegant or pre-
tentious, that contains drop Of the genu-
inc article. Indeed very little Of it comes
into the country from France, and wha,
