CAUTION FROM TEE AMERICAN WATCH Co.
1t having come to our knowledge that imita-
tions of the American Watch have been put
upon the market in great number, calculated
by their utter worthessness to injure the rep
utation of our genuine products, to protect
our own interests and the public from impo-
sition, we again publish the trade marks by
which our Watches may invariably be
known.
We manufacture four styles of Watches.
The first has the name
AMERICAN WATCH CO., waltham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The second has the name
appleton, TRACY & Co., Walrham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The third has the name
''P. S. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass. ;" en-
graved ON the inside plate.
All the above styles have the name Amer
lean w atch Co. painted on the dial, and are
warranted in every respect.
The fourth has the name
VIM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved
on the inside plate, and is not named on the
dial.
Ali the above described watches are made
of various sizes, and are sold In gold or sill.
yer cases, as may be required.
1t is hardly possible for us to accurately
describe the numerous limitations to which
we have alluded. They are usually describ-
ed with names so nearly approaching our
own as to escape the observation of the IN.
accustomed buyer. Some are represented as
made by the Union Watch Co., of Boston.
Mass" mo such company existing. Some
are named as the SOLDIERS Watch" to be
sold as our fourth or VIM. Ellery style, usu-
ally known as the Soldiers Watch" 9th
ers are named the Appleton Watch Co. )"
others the ''P. s. Bartley," instead of our
"P S. BARTLETT" besides many varieties
named in such a manner as to convey the
idea that they are the veritable productions
OF the American Watch Company.
We also caution the public, and particular
ly soldiers, against buying certain articles
CALLED watches, SO freely advertised in illus
trated papers as "Army Watches" Officers
Watches," Magic Time Observers, "Arca.
ma Watches" &C., the prices of which are
stated to be from seven to sixteen dollars
A good watch, in these times, cannot be af-
forded for any such money.
A little attention on the part of buyers
will protect them from gross imposition.

The Macon TeLe0raph tells the following

The Macon lTsIfgrapAtells the following
sad story of the war:
81 learned on yesterday the cireum-
stances of a melancholy quandary, in
which young lady, one of the most es-
timable and lovely in this part of the
country, was placed. A gallant young
officer was betrothed to her. He fell on
the fatal field of Sharpsburg. She. loved
him dearly, and was afflicted far beyond
what lovers of a more buoyant temper
would have suffered. She went into
mourning, secluded herself from society,
and devoted herself to charitable and re-
ligious deeds, and was dead to the
world" A few months ago, young gen.
tleman of great wealth, superior talents,
and handsome person, accidentally formed
her acquaintance, in the progress of busi-
ness transaction He was fascinated with
her; persevered until he overcame her
aversion little by little, and finally they
became engaged TO be married only
fortnight ago, She had already made out
her order for an elegant tro4Sseau. But
four days ago her first lover returned.
He had been carried to Northern hos
pital from the battlefield, with no hope of
life, and has just been liberated and re-
turned. He has frightful scar across his
face, only one eye, is an invalid for life,
and is poor. But in his bosom burns q
manly and noble soul The poor girl has
shut herself up, and will see neither of
them. The meeting between her and her
first lover the other day is said to have
been distressing. Bis lettersshad failed to
reach her, and she firmly believed him
dead till he stood before her, the ghastly
ruin Of her lover, once so handsome and
and manly. Poor fellow I have caught
glimpse of him once as he passed along
the street, with his ~crutches and melan-
