AMERICAN WATCHES. The predic-
ton of Speaker Banks in his address at
the Crystal Palace, that in America We
should shortly be able to manufacture
watches for three dollars as good as are
now made in England for three hundred,
seems to give some promise Of being
realized. A watch factory has just
been established at Waltham, Massa-
chusetts, by Appleton, Tracy & Co.,
where the separate parts are all accu-
rately stamped out by machinery, and
fitted by hand. The jewels are bored
by hand, and the corresponding pivots
fitted to them by females. All the
watches are made alike, so that they
can be EASILY repaired, and any part Of
one size will exactly fit any other watch
Of the same size, so that they can be
easily repaired and re6tted. The sim
plest kind of lever watch, without the
fusee, is the form adopted, and they
can turn out about ten thousand per
annum.

REVENGE. = On Jersey Prairie, in
Hin OILS, a few days ago, there was a
lively set-to. A young man named
Shelby had paid attentions to daugh-
ter Of Judge Carter, and behaved him
self in an unseemly way. A brother
Of the young lady conceiving that the
offence demanded punishment, went to
Shelby's house and assailed him With
the butt of horsewhip as he sa. at
dinner. Shelby became ill from the
effects Of the castigation, but when he
recovered and came out, he was again
assaulted by Carter with gang Of fell
lows, tarred and feathered, afterwards
tied on his horse with his face to the
tail, and set adrift like Mazeppa. The
horse went home with his burden, but
Shelby was nearly killed, and Carter
satisfied his revenge.

| Es9~ Here is one of Ruskin's best
sentiments, most beautifully and truth
fully expressed:
"All rivers, small or large, agree in
one character, they like to lean a little
one side, they cannot bear to have their
channels deepest in the middle, but will
always, if they can, have one bank to
sun themselves upon, and another to
get cool under; one shingly shore to
play over, where they may be shallow,
and shore foolish, and child-like, an
other deep, under which they can pause.
and purify themselves, and get their
strength Of waves fully together for
due occasion.
Rivers in this way are just like wise
men, who keep one side Of their life
for play and another for work, and can
be brilliant, and chattering, and trans
parent when they are at ease, and yet
take deep counsel on the other side
when they set themselves to their
main purpose. And rivers are Just in
this divided, also, like wicked and good
men the good rivers have serviceable
deep places all along their banks, that
ships can sail in, but the wicked rivers
go scooping irregularly under their
banks, until they get full Of struggling
eddies, which no boat can row over
without being twisted against the rocks,
and pools like wells which no one can
get out Of but the water kelpie that
lives at the bottom but wicked or
good, the rivers all agree in having two
kinds of Sides"
