American Watches.

Our readers will recollect that not long ago
We published an elaborate account of the
American Watch Company's Factory, at Wal
ton, Massachusetts,, and predicted for its pro-
ducts large and enduring success. This re-
suit has been accomplished beyond the most
extravagant hopes Of its managers, and their
watches are now the trusty companions of
Thousands Of that best class of the community
with whom time Is emphatically money. They
have proved to be---what we then insisted they
couldn't help, being-the most uniformly reli-
able and substantial watch in the world, and
we are informed that even the prejudices of
foreign watch repairers, working in this eoun-
try, arc gradually giving way to the irrefutable
argument furnished by the steady and accurate
performances Of these time-keepers. In many
instances, to our certain knowledge, their &C.
curacy is, and has been, almost unparalleled,
riyaiing that of tho best marine chronometers,
and in all cases SO exact as to accomplish ali
the practical purposes of pocket time piece.
More than seventeen thousand persons in the
United States are NOW wearing American
Watches, and the Company have not heard
mote than half dozen complaints fiom all
that number, and those arising from some ac-
eidental dcfapgement or misusage Of the works.

The north part of Wisconsin is infested with
bears tho present year. 1t is supposed there

SUBLMr.-Bxcept in the transoendant pero.
ration Of Webster's great speech in reply to
Hayne, we have mover met with anything
more beautiful than the following passage from
the address delivered at San Francisco, or
the 4th inst, by John V. Watson, ESQ.,:
Amid all the contests that have marked our
career, the Union has been the prevailing and
tidmphant sentiment. lLet.it bo Eternal
But if the time shall unhappily come, when
this mighty fabric shall yield to the paricidsl
attacks Of civil discord, pray God that its
fate may be oblivion, that no wreck or vestige
Of its existence may remain to attest its for
mer greatness, or inoite the story of its fall.
Let the Atlantic and Pacific meet in mourn
full embrace over its ruins, and their com
mingled waves sing its requiem. %.

A, GRIDIRoN PALAcE,-Philip n Of Spain,
having won battle on the 10th of August, the
festival Of st. Lawrence, vowed to consecrate
d palace, a church and monastery to his
honor. He erected the Escurial, which is the
largest palace in Europe. As the saint for
whom it was named suffered martyrdom by be-
ing broiled on gridiron, at Rome, under Vale
rian. Philip caused the immense palace to
consist of several courts and .quadruples, all
disposed in the shape Of gridiron.. The bars

How TO Srop observation-disclosures, me-
ohsnics and others, in handling knives, tools
or any sharp instrument, very frequently re-
ceive severe cuts, from which blood flows pro-
fusely and oftontimes endangers life itself.
Blood may ibe made to cease to flow as follows:
Take the fine dust Of tea, and bind it close to
the wound; at all times accessible, and easily
TO bs obtained. After tho blood has ceased to
flow laudanum may be advantsgeously applied
to the wound. Due regard to these instruc-
tions will save agitation of the mind, and run
ming for the surgeon, who would, probably,
make no better prescription II he was present.

tobacco-growers to put on shirt outside Of
their clothes, and wear it without washing

tobacco year, if, indeed, il lasts so long, it
goes into paper rags, but; usually long before
