IRRIGATION ON LARGE ScALE.-The Ed
inburgh Review, in giving an account of the
great Improvements which the British are
making in India. notices the system of works
for irrigation. These works. it is said, are
vast in extent and benefit The Ganges can
al. one of the principal, has no less than
S9S9 miles of main channel, with |, 1,5S2 miles
of distributing courses, besides many hun
dred miles of minor channels. 1t irregates
an area of ], AZ 800 acres, and its benefcient
waters will protect from the risks of famine
a tract of country containing q population of
$780, 900 souls. 1t is estimated that in the
famine of 1S60-1, 339 243, $40 pounds of grain
were grown by the irrigations which it afford
ed Other canals are from 100 to 500 miles
in length, and render fertile large tracts of
land that would otherwise remain almost
barren wastes. In the Presidency of Madras
nearly all the great rivers have been inter-
sected by wiers, which retain for irrigation
the floods of fructifying waters, that would
else flow out to sea. The increased produc-
ton is reckoned by millions of pounds in val
ue These works were constructed at a
great outlay, and are justly regarded as tri-
umphs of engineering skill and wise states

CAUTION
FROM
The AMERICAN WATCH co.

1t having come to our knowledge that limitations
of the American Watch have been put upon the
market in great numbers calculated, by their utter
worthlessness to njure the reputation of our gen
uine products, to protect own interests and the
public from imposition, we again publish the trade
marks by which our Watches may invariably be
known.
Wemanufacture 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., Waltham,
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The THIRD has the name
"P. S. BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass" engrav-
ed on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the same American
Watch Co. painted on the dial, and are warranted
in every respect.
The FOURTH has the name
"WM ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved on
the inside plate, and is not named on the dial
All the above described Watches are made of
various sizes, and are sold in gold or silver cases,
as may be required.
It's hardly possible for us to accurately de-
scribe the numerous Limitations to which we have
alluded. They are usually inscribed with names so
nearly approaching own as to escape the OBJ
servation of the unaccustomed buyer. Some are
represented as made by the "Union Watch Co.. of
Boston, Mass."-no such company existing. Some
named the Soldiers Watch, to be sold as our
Fourth or VIM. Elery style, usually known as the
=" "Soldier's Watch;" others are named the "Apple-
ton Watch Co. - others the "P S. Bartley," in
stead of P. S. Bartlett, besides many varieties
named in such manner as to convey the idea that
they the veritable productions of the American
Watch Company.
A little attention on the part of the buyers will
protect them from gross imposition.
For sale by the trade generally.

Cruelty to Animals.

All well regulated communities have laws
enacted for the purpose Of Furnishing those
who are cruel to the animals placed in their
charge. Power over the beasts Of the field
was not given to us to be exercised in such
way as to give unnecessary pain to them, but to
use them well and treat them kindly. They
were made for our benefit, and any person
who needlessly inficts pain upon them is
monster in human shape and ought to suffer
the extreme penalties of the law. Cowper
says he would not enter on his list of friends
the man who needlessly sets his foot upon a
worm. 1t is the duty of every one "to step
aside and let the reptile lve."
Butwhat shall we say of man who would at
tempt to drive a horse more than hundred
miles during the sunlight OF siugle day, and
that day one of great heatl and all this too,
ia mere wantoness, or, what may be consider
ed worse, for filthy lucre." 1t is long road
from Boston to the Forest City, and any one
who would engage in the cruel and MURDER
Gus business of driving that noble animal, the
horse, that distance in single day for sport,
for money or for anything shcrt OF saving the
life OF nation ought to be kicked by cripples
and placed in the picFy. We have no patience
with those who use such good gifts to man as
the horse in such cruel manner And yet
man, il man he can be called, did attempt to
perform such feat with horsehesh and bone
last Tuesday, but thanks to good Providence,
he failed in his cruel attempt and lost his
horse, his money and his good name, if he ever
had one. And he failed too at point that
makes his punishment more severe. He had
almost accomplished his wicked purpose-the
prize was almost within his reach-one half
an hour more of life in his noble horse, and
money and fame would be his; but he was
destined to sad and sore disappointment. His
noble animal staggered, fell and died, and
just at the point of time that gave him the
severest punishment. A few minutes more
and he would have been a great victor as
some count victory; but asad change came
over the spirit OF his dream as he gazed upon
the dead body of his horse. What retributive
just'cel How admirably timedl What an
guish in that cruel drivers hearth a
We can all sympathize VITA the sufferings
Of the illtreated horse, but no touch Of pity
for the driver can ever reach our hearts,
Even If he had staggered and fallen from his
carriage and blocked the highway With his
own lifeless body, our best sympathies could
not have been awakened into much activity
The poor horse had suffered enough, and
death ended his misery, but not SO the misera-
BILE driver. He has been spared, his conscience
awakened and his sufferings prolonged. How
often win he think of his dead horsel Ali
there's the rubl Conscience will yet do its
duty. And may the ghost Of the noble ami
NAL haunt him in his dreams and plant his
pillow with thorns. 7g

~ 1t is estimated that the oil wells of Bur-
nah, India, have been yielding their present
supply of 100000 barrels per annum at least
100 years, amounting during that period to
about $4,000, 900 barrels, English measure
These, if arranged, would form continuous line
of oil barrels q, 800 miles long. Oil wells also
exist in Persia, and it is said, have lately been
discovered near the the Sea of Azof, while on
the island of Samos they existed 500 years before
the Christian era.
