A FEW REASONS WHY THE
AARI@HSAM WAgTR
IS THE BEST

It Is made on the best principle, while the
foreign watch is generally made on no princi-
pie at all. The foreign watch is mostly made
by womtn and boys, DY HAND. While their
labor Is cheap. their work is dear at any
price. Such watches are made without plan.
aud sold without guarantee. They are irreg-
ular in construction, and quite as irregular in
movement. They are designed only 10 sell,
and the buyer is the party most thoroughly
sold. Those who have kept "anores," lie.
pines and "Swiss levers" In profeSsed repair
for a few years will appreciate the truth of
our statement.
THE PLAN OF THE AMER1oN AL,stqAH
Instead Of being made Of several hundred
little pieces, screwed together, the body of
the American Watch Is formed Of SOLID
PLATES. No jar interfercs with the haimo-
ny of its working, and no sudden shock can
throw Its machinery out Of gear. In riding
OF. any business pursuit, II is all held togeth.
er as firmly as a single piece of metal. 1t Is
Just what all machinery should be-
lst ACCURATE. 2. SIMPLE 8. STRONG.
4. ECONOMICAL,
We not only secure CHEAPNESS by our
system, but QUALITY. We do not pretend
that our Watch can be bought for less money
than the foreign make behaves, but that for its
real value 1t is sold for one-half the price.
OUR SOLDIERS WATCH named VIM. Ell.
lsry) is what its name indicates-,|olid, sub
%stantial, and always reliable-warranted to
stand any amount of Marching, Riding or
Fighting.
OUR NEXT HIGHER QUALITY OF
WATCH (named P. s. Bartlett) is similar in
size and general appearance, but has more
jewels, and n more elaborate finish.
OUR LADIES' WATCH, recently brought
out, is put up in a great variety of patterns,
many Of them of rare beauty and workman
ship, is quite small, but warranted 10 keep
time.
THB PROOF Of the merits Of our Watch
may be found in the fact that we now employ
over seven thousand workmen in our factories,
and that We are still unable 10 supply the
constantly increasing demand.
OUR THREE-QUARTER PLATE WATCH
is thinner and ] gh' er than the others we have
described. Its fine c%hronometer balance is
delicately ADJUSTED to correct the variation
caused by changes Of temperature. These
watches are the fruits Of the latest expert
ments in c%hronometry, and'are made by our
best workmen, in u separate department of
our factory. For the finest time. keeping
qualities they challenge comparison with the
best works Of the most famous BngliSh aud
Swiss makers.

SYMPTOMS

The symptoms Of Catarrh as they generally
appear are at first very slight. Persons find
they have a cold, that they have frequent at
tacks, and are more sensitive to the changes
of temperature. In this condition, the nose
may be dry, or q slight discharge, thin and
acrid, afterwards becoming thick and adhe-
sive. AS the disease becomes chronic, the
discharges are increased in quantity and
changed in quality they are now thick and
heavy, and are hawked or coughed off. The
secretions are offensive, causing a bad breath;
the voice is thick and nasal the eyes are
weak the sense of the smell is lessened or
destroyed; deafness frequently takes place.
Another common and important symptom of
Catarrh is, that the person is Obliged TO clear
his throatin the morning of a thisk or Shiny
mucous, which has fallen down from the head
during the night. When this takes place the
person may be sure that his disease is on its
way to the lungs, and should lose no time in
arresting it.
Tile above are but tew Of the many Ca.
tlrrh Symptoms.

Professor Cummings Lecture.

A large and highly intelligent audience on
Monday evening listened to this gentleman's
very interesting Introductory lecture on geol-
gy. The subject is one which persons but
slightly acquainted with it are apt to consider
dull, but which yetneeds only to be investigated
to become more fascinating than the liveliest
romance. The recent contributions of Agas-
siz, and the works of Hugh Miller have done
much to AWAKEN popular interest in science
which may be said to lie at the foundation of
all other sciences; and we are glad to welcome
in Professor Cunning one whose thorough
knowledge of, and enthusiasm for his subject
render his treatment of it at once instructive
and interesting
His lecture on Monday evening was, of ne
cessity, somewhat desultory, but the fixed at
tention with which his audience followed him,
whether he chose to lead them in thought
down through the earth's crust to that burn
ing core whence the volcano darts its fiery
tongue, or to exhibit the beautiful simplicity
OF Natures types and processes as illustrated
in the four great forms of animal life. bore
witness to his eloquence and power. The
passage in which he compared the inward
spiral curve from left to right in some forms
ofsea-shells, with the ascending spiral in the
growing vine, and the similar movement in
the electric currents and in the sweep of plan-
cts and suns through their vast orbits was es-
pecially fine, and elected warm applause.
The subject Of the next lecture relates to
the first upheaval of the American continent,
the real old aoOrLd, to the character of the
primeval forest, the formation of coal, in con-
nection with which the nature and origin of
petroleum will be touched upon, and finally,
the earliest forms of air-breathing life, its
character and purposes. The low price at
which tickets for the course have been fixed,
plases them within the reach ofall, and we
hope our citizens will largely avail themselves
of such an opportunity to combine pleasure
with profit.

Disastrous Fire in West Buxton.

About O'Clock yesterday morning fire
broke out in the Wooden Mill of the West
Buxton Manufacturing Company at Modera-
ton Village in Buxton, occasioned by the up
setting OF a kerosene lamp. Very soon the
whole mill was enyeloped in flames, and not
an article was saved from it. 1t was owned
by Messrs. j. w. and Fl. A. Hall of Boston.
A large saw mill owned by Mr.. A. K. P.
Lord, containing one gang and one single saw,
three box machines, and three heading ma
chimes, was also destroyed, together with
large quantity of lumber. The store Of Mr.
Bryant was also burned, but a large portion Of
his stock was saved.
The fire then extended to the bridge across
the river, which was soon destroyed. The
dwelling house and barn of Mr.. Lord quickly
followed, and also the sash and blind factory.
The grist mill of Mr.. Thomas Bradbury, the
shop of Messrs. A. & j. NJ. Hutchinson, the
post Office, the millinery shop of Miss L. W.
Butler, and the wool cleansing establishment
were also burned to the ground. Several
other buildings were partially destroyed, and
the business portion Of that pretty village is
mass of ruins.
Every thing that could be done to stay the
rayages of the fire was done by the men and
women of the place, but the want CT an effec-
tive fire engine was felt, and without that all
efforts seemed to be vain. fTEg4
We have not heard the amount of individual
losses estimated, excepting that of Mr.. Lords,
which it is thought viii reach $4,000, and we
are informed there is but $500 insurance on it.
Mr.. Bryant has insurance enough on his stock
to cover all loss on it. The amount of ins,l-
rance on other property we could not ascer-
tain. The total loss is estimated at 100000

FIRE.-At a quarter before one o'clock this
morning the alarm was sounded for fire in
District 2. 1t was ON Hancock Street, and
destroyed two-story dwelling house, owned
and occupied by Peter Francis. A one-story
house in the rear of the above, also owned by
Francis, was buried down. He had no in
surance.
The flames extended to the two-story dwell
ing house north of that of Francis, owned by
j. Sullivan and occupied by Mrs. Libby. This
building was about ruined. There was some
insurance on this building.
A large three story wooden building, south
of Francis, owned by Messrs. Rumery &
Durham, and which had formerly been occu-
pied for laundery, was badly damaged in the
upper part. M
The fire was the work of an incendia1y,
who set it between the houses owned by
Francis There was cluster of wooden
buildings in that vicinity, several of which
caught fire, and nothing but the indomitable
energy of the firemen prevented great con-
fagration in that quarter. MA l

BY TELEGRAPH
TO THE ,
EVENING PAPERS.
The South Carolina Legislature.


NEW YORK, Nov. a.
The Worlds Columbia, S. c., correspondence
of the 7th, states that resolutions were report
ed from the Committee on Federal Relations,
to the Legislature, to the effect that South
Carolina having fully complied with the re-
quirements of the amnesty proclamation of
President johnson, and having emancipated
the slaves, is entitled to the benefit of said
amnesty; and acknowledging their position as
conquered people, and the acceptance of
terms offered them, they ask the withdrawal
OF military rule, to which they say the faith
OF the government stands pledged. The re-
port says they have with honest purpose and
entire loyalty Of heart given solemn pledges to
henceforth seek their welfare in the Union.
The resolutions were not acted on that day,
In consequence of the receipt of message
from Gov Perry, relative to the question of
adopting the Constitutional amendment abol-
ishing slavery, enclosing dispatches from the
President and Secretary Seward, the substance
OF which has already been published. The
resolutions would probably be adopted unani-
mously.
