From the above, it will be seen that
with two or three exceptions, We are
far ahead of our Niles neighbors.
Take for instance the shipment of -four,
which. it will be seen, falls 2,l53 bar
rels short of that sent from Niles; but
on the other hand it is seen that we
have shipped $500 bushels more wheat
than has Niles, and if this wheat had
been converted into -four, or allowing
so many bushels for barrel, i. will be
found that our shipments of flour IS
equal to that of Niles. This will also
be found to be the case with other ar
ticles in the above tables. By adding
the excess in lumber, cattle, hogs, but
ter, &c., shipped from this village over
Niles, we shall still be found to be
ahead of cur pretentions neighbors.
Niles is quite a smart village, and does
considerable business, but it will be
some time before it can hope to com

PERsoNAL.-We had the pleasure
on Saturday last of taking by the hand
our old friend, Capt. d. w. Clemmer,
of the first Michigan Cavalry. Capt.
Clemmer,it will be remembered, enlisted
as orderly sergeant in Co. M. over two
years and half ago, and during the
whole of this time, this was his first
visit homo. His return was warmly
welcomed by his many friends in this
village, who in honor of the occasion,
fired salute Of "a guns. Capt. Glenn
mer being on detached duty, having
been detailed to conduct oonscripts
from Grand Rapids to his regiment,
his stay in this State will be consequent
ly short. The Detroit advertiser d
Tribune in noticing the captains re-
turn pays him the following compli-
ment: "Capt. Clcmmer enlisted in the
lst Cavalry in the capacity Of Orderly
Sergeant of Co. M. and for daring,
bravery and good conduct in the field,
was subsequently promoted to the po-
sition he now fills. While acting as
Orderly he twice saved the life Of his
Captain. and upon several occasions
saved his command from annihilstion
by cutting his way through the enc.

NOTHING that is not wholesome. geniel and re-
storatve in its nature enters into the composition
of HOSTETTERS SI'OMA CHI BI7TERS. This
popular preparation contains mineral of any
kind, no deadly botanical element no fiery txci-
tant but it is combination of the extracts of
rare basamic herbs and plants with the purest and
mildest of all diffusve stimulants.
1t is well to be forearmed against disease and,
so far as the human system can be protected by
human means against maladies engendered by an
unwholesome atmosphere, impure water and other
external causes. HOSTETTER,S BITTERS may
be relied on as a safeguard.
In districts infested with FeCer and Ague, il has
been found infallible preventative and irress-
table as remedy and thousands who resort to it
under apprehensions of attack, escape the
scourge; and thousands who neglectt0 avail them
selves of its protective qualities in advance are
cured by very brief course of this marvellous
medicine. Fever and Ague patients, after being
piled with quinine for months in vain, until fairly
saturated with that dangerous alkaloid, are not
unfrequentlv restored to health within few days
by the use of HCSIETIERS BITTERS.
The weak stomach is rapidly invigorated and the
appetite restored by this agreeable Tonic, and
hence it works wonders in cases of DYSPEPSIA and
ia less confirmed forms of Indigestion. Acting as
the liver, it also invariably relieves the C0nstspa-
ton superinduced by irregular action of the dges-
tive and secretve organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous At

The testimony on this point is most conclusive. and
from both sexes.
The agony of BILIOUS CoLIc is Immediately as.
suaged by a single dose of the stimulant, and by
occasionally restoring to it, the return of the com
plant may be prevented.
AS General Tonic, HOS7ETIERS BIT,
TIERS produce effects which must be experienced
or witnessed before they can be fully appreciated.
In of Consumption Weakness, Premature
Decay and Debility of Decrepitude arising from

A WORD ABOUT
RMEAICAN WATCHES,

AFTER A THOROUGH TRIAL OF MORE
THAN TEN YEARS, the time pieces manufac-
tured by the American Watch Co., of Waltham.
Mass, have gained firm hold upon the favor of
the public, and now, no less than IS, 900 of them
are speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
people, From very insignificant beginning the
business has increased until we are justified in
stating that WE MAKE MORE THAN ONE-HALF
of all the watches sold in the United States. Re-
peated enlargement of our factory buildings. and
the labor of 500 operatives, still find rs UNEQUAL
to supply the constantly increasing demand. And
we may here observe that notwithstanding the
high price of labor and Materials we actually sell
our products at less prices than those current five
years ago.
We refer to these facts only fer the purpose of
properl, introducing another subject relative to
our manufacture of watches. Hitherto our chief
object has been to make good watches for the mil.
lion at the lowest possible price-something to
take the place of the the make-believe watches
called "Ancres." "Lepines," "English Patent
Levers" &C., annually thrown upon this market,
in countless numbers, by European workshops
watches which are the refuse of their factories,
unsaleable at home and perfectly worthless every
where.
This object we have accomplished, and now we
have to announce, that we have commenced the
manufacture of watches of the very
HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO cBRoNoxgrRY.
unequalled BY anything hitherto made by ourselves
and unsurpassed by anything made in the world.
For this purpose we have the amplest facilities
We have erected an addition to our main buildings
expressly for this branch of our business, and
have fllel it with the best workmen in our service
Profiting by our long experience. we have remod-
elled the form of our Watches intr oducing such
improvements as have been suggested and proved
to be good from time to time, and have instituted
new and severe tests of isocbronism, adjustment
and compensation. New machines and appliances
have been constructed, whichperfo rm their work
with consumate deicacy and exactitude, and the
choicest and most approved materials only are
used Nothing in fact is wanting either in mechan-
ical principles, material workmanship to ensure
perfection in the result.
We continue to-. manufacture our other we'll
known qualities under the following names:
"APPLETON TRACY CO."
"P S. BARTLETT"
And the "Soldier's Watch
:'WM. ELLERY."
The latter, the lowest priced watch We make is
substantial, reliable time-pece cased in sterling
silver-hunting pattern, and is not liable to get
out of order either in marching, riding fighting.
All the above described watches, including the
frss ,e A
PANY," are sold by watch dealers generally
throughout the country.
