The New American Watch
MADE At WALTHAM. MASS.


In order to meet the requirements OF gentle
men who prefer thinner Watch than those usually
made by us we have lately issued a style of
Watch on the three-quarter plate model especially
designed for this purpose.
In establishing this new series, it has also been
our design to produce Watch in every way superb
or to the best and highest priced products of the
most reputable of English and Swiss Watch manu-
lecturers and no labor and expense has been spar
ed to this end
In all respects Of fine and durable material, of
external and internal finish, of accurate compensa-
ton and adjustment, of mechanically just pro-
portions and of practical results three
quarter plate watch challenges comparison with
any in the world.

HENNEss PASS Posr RoUTE.-At the last
session of Congress an act was passed, which
was approved by the President on the 9th
Feb, 1861, establishing certain post routes
in several States, among which is one desig-
mated as follows:
"From Carson City, in the Territory of Utah,
to Nevada City, passing over the Sierra Nevada,
through the Henness Pass, with mail routes
diverging therefrom frst one leaving said route
at Jacksons Ranch, near the western end of
Henness Pass, to Downieville, Sierra county 4.
and the second, leaving at Lake CITY, in the
county of Nevada, via North San Juan, to Marys-
vile, Yuba county,"
Ihere are not many people, in this section
OF California, aware of the establishment of
this post route; but the entire act of Con-
gress is to be found in the San Francisco
Herald, of the 18th inst where it is pub
lished by authority This route, it is need
less fer us to state, is of vast Importance to
this portion of the State of California as well
as to large district of the Washoe country.
That the Postmaster General has not yet
authorized mail service upon it is, no doubt,
owing TO the ungra1ed state of the Henness
Pass road Notwithstanding that the road
is now filled with teams and mounted travel
ers, it is not yet in condition to fully war
rant the pacing OF ilne OF Sttpe COACHES
upon it 1t is estimated, by many persons
who have recently travelled the road, and
who are competent judges of road making
affairs, that the sum of ten thousand dollars,
judiciously expended, is amply sufficient to
make this road the most Level, best graded,
and Straighsest route across the Sierra
Nevada. 1t gratifeS US to be able to state
that company is now energe,icaly en-
gagged in completing the road between Jack
sons and Virginia City, and that, ere long,
it will be in ample order for any class OF
stage coaches.-Transcript

THE FRENCH AMBULANCE SysTEM.-A
number of medical gentlemen met lately in
this city to discuss the medical equip
ments necessary for an army. Drawings
were produced of an ambulance made after
the latest pattern used in the French army
in Algeria and the Crimea. This ambulance
is an omnibus shaped vehicle, to be drawn
by two or more horses, weighing some twelve
hundred pounds, bat constructed in such a
manner that it may be easily detached

man from the field, and without any fatigu-
ing change places him in this portable hos

A Capital Anecdote,

As Rev. DR.. Dwight was travelling through
New Jersey, be chauced to stop at stage
hotel, in Que OF its pOpnlous towns for the
night. ct late hour of the same arrived al.
SO at the inn, Mr.. Denne, (ouce a noted wri.
ter who had the misfortune TO learn from
the landlord that his beds were all paired
with dodgers, except one, occupied By the
celebrated DR.. Dwight.
"Show me TO his apartment" exclaimed
Dennie. although | am stranger to the
Rev. Doctor, perhaps can bargain with him
for my lodgings"
The luud!ord accordingly waited on Mr..
Deuu!e to the Doctors room, and there left
him to Introduce himself. The Doctor, al.
though in his night gown, cap and slippers,
and just ready TO resign himself to the refresh
ing arms o! Somnus, politely requested The in.
tIudrr to be seated
The Doctor, struck with the literary physi.
ognomy Of bis companion, unbeut his austered
brow, uud commenced literary conversation.
The names ot Nasbington, Franklin Ritteu-
house, and host Of literary and distinguished
characters, FOR some time gave Zest to their
conversation, untii DR.. Dwight mentioned the
name of DeTuie.
"Dennie the editor OF the Port Folio" snys
the Doctor in rhapsody "is the Addison of
the United States-lhe father of American
Bellies Iellres. But Sir" continued he "is
it rot astonishing that man OF such genius,
fancy, aud feeling, should abandon himself to
the inebriatlug bowl, to becchanaliau reyels ?"
"Slr," said Dennie, "you a?e mistaken. l
have been Intimately acquainted with pennie
for several years. aud | never knew or saw
him iutO3icuted."
Sir" said the Doctor. "you err; | have
my information from particular friend I
am coufdeut that am right, and that you ars
wrong"
Deune now ingeniously changed the con.
yeTsatun TO the clergy remarking that Drs.
Aberciumbie and Mason were among our
mos. distinguished dvines; nevertheless. he
considered DR.. Dwigbt, President Of Yale
College, the most learned theologian, the 6rst
logiclan-ard the greatest poet that merlce
has ever produced.
But, Str," continued Denne, "there are
traits in his character uDdeserving so great
and wise L muu, OF the most detestibie descrlp-
tI0n-he Is ;he greatest bgot snd dogmallst
Of the age !"
Sir" said the Doctor, "you are grossly
mistaken; am Intimately acquainted With
DR., Dwight, and know 10 the contrary"
"Sir," said Denuie, "you are mistaken I
have II from al intimate acquaintance OF his,
who am confident would not tell Oh uutrulb"
"No more Islander I" said the Doctor; Il

among the wounded on both sides, to a neigh
horlng house, and when they found that their
own army was retreating, they were about to
make their own retreat, when the Colonel re-
quested them to remain, aud he would see
them protected. They did so, and were sent
on with the Others to Fortress Monroe, under
flag Of truce, on Monday.
1t seems that these young mPn, having got

them. The Colonel continued to excluim
