A FEW REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Is THE BEST.

Is THE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle, while the for
eigi watch is generally made on no principle
at all
Let us look at the contrast. The foreign watch
is mostly made by women and boys, By hand.
While their labor is cheap, their work is dear at
any price. Such watches made without plan,
and sold without guarantee. They irregular
in construction, and quite as irregular in move
ment. They are designed only to SELL and the
buyer is the party most beautifully sold. Those
who have kept "ancres," lepines" and .'Swiss
levers" in protested repair for few years will
appreciate the truth of our statement.
THE PLAN OF THE AMERICAN WATCH.
Instead of being made of several kindred little
pieces, screwed together the body of the Ameri-
can Watch is formed of SOLID PLATES. No
far interferes with the harmony of its working,
and no sudden shock can throw it's machinery out
OF gear. Secession of one part from another is
unknown to its cons tuition, and in riding on apy
business pursuit, it is all held together as firmly
as single piece of metal. tits just what all ma
chinery should be ....---

Sd. STRONG.

4th. ECONOMICAL
We not only secure CHEAPNESS by our sys-
tenn but QUALITY. We do not pretend that our
Watch can be bought for less money than the for
eign makebelieUes but that for its real value it is
sold for one-half the price.
OUR SOLDIERS WATCH (named VIM. Ellery)
is what its name indicates-Solid, Substantial, and
always Reliable-warranted to stand any amount
of Marching, Riding or Fighting.
OUR NEXT HIGHER QUALITY OF WATCH
(named p S. Bartletti similar in size and general
appearance, but has more jewels, and more
elaborate finish.
OUR LADIES' WATCH, recently brought out
is put up in great variety of patterns, many OF
them OF rare beauty and workmanship, is quite
small, but warranted to keep time
OUR YOUNG GENTLEMAN'S WATCH is
neat not large and Just the thing for the pocket Of
Young America.
THE PROOF of the merits of our Watch NAV
be found in the fact that we now employ over five
hundred workmen in our factories, and that we
are still unable to supply the constantly increasing
demand
OUR THREE-QUARTER PLATE WATCH is
thinner and lighter than the others we haye de-
scribed. Its fine chronometer balance is delicate
ly adjusted to correct the variation caused by
changes OF temperature. These Watches are
automatically rated, and are the fruits of the
latest experiments in chronometry and are made
by our best workmen, in a separate department Of
our factory. For the finest time-keeping qualities
they challenge comparison with the best works Of
the most famous English and Swiss makers.

Gents; l deem it due to you to state the magical
effect of that one bottle of Peoples Cure which
obtained from you in November last. Seeing an
advertisement of your Society, offering to give
your medicine to clergymen for the poor of their
parishes, obtained a bottle for poor girl OF
my congregation, who had long been nearly help
less from Rheumatism, and strange to say, that
one bottle cured her entirely. / write this, hop
ing it may aid the Society in its efforts to intro
duce the medicine, and bless those who may need
such remedy: and use strong terms, as / be-
lieve its merits will fully justify the most superla

As paramount consideration, reverse
the rule making low rate of premium
the chief essential; for the CHEAP
EST rate is only too frequently only an
index of the POOREST Insurance.
As our rates are graduated by the
laws of compensation, after ample ex-
perience, the propriety of Insurance
extends with equal force to the safer
classes of property it does to those OF
more hazardous nature. The safer
the risk the lower the percentage-the

bama river |. was left 10 the option Of General
Sherman whether the depot should be eStab.
lished at Selma or Montgomery. He chose the
former position, on the northeast bank of the
river. II was agreed that General Logan should
move from Huntsville, and form junction
with Sherman on the Alabama.
Sherman moved promptly at the appointed
time, and, oulgeneraling Polk, threw his forces
between Mobile and Polk's army, and, falling
on the forces Of the mitred General, scattered
his army and moved directly forwasd to Selma
The war department has trustworthy infor-
nation that Logan's cavalry has made juno
ton with Sherman's forces at Selma.
Gen. Johnston, being alarmed for the safety
OF Mobile, sent one division OF his army to that
city. As Sherman's orders are to destroy the
Mobile, Montgomery and atlanta Railroad, it
is potent that Johnston will also be cut off from
Mobile, and must, ii pressed, fall backward
toward the Atlantic coast or to Lees army in
Virginia! -r -..ss a~r
The army of Gen. Sherman is of sufficient
strength to warrant success in case OF attack
by the combined forces south of his present
position, and, reinforced by Logan's corps, he
may safely attack even Johnston's army
The movement of Thomas to Dalton is add
ing strength TO Shermans position. and threat
ems the rebel position at Atlanta. The expedl-
uon into Florida is intended to attract the
enemy in that direction while Sherman and
Thomas move into the heart of Alabama aud

that this brilliant movement, attended with
such signal success, insures the early teriniua-
