THE present season promises to be a
most remarkable one for sportsmen
Large numbers of deer are reported in
the Southern forests, particularly those
of Virginia, while aa abundance Of
smaller game is to be found in the
Northern States. This is especially true
of New York. Some of the interior
and the crack of the sportsman's gun can
be heard from early morn till night. at
no period within twenty-five years has
small game been so abundant in Sulll-
van, Ulster and adjoining counties as
now. This fact is doubtless owing to tho
absence in the army for four years of the
LARGER portion of those fond of cunning.

New YORK, June 29.-The Herald's Rio

the battle ofIEstara Bellaio, between the
Paraguayans and the allied army. 1t ap-
pears the Paraguayans, instead OF falling
back from Haimata, as the allies expected,
awaited the approach of the latter, and
'bya bold and sudden dash gave severe
blow to them. But reinforcements arriv-
ing, the Brazilians finally retrieved the day,
not, however, without the loss of battery
OF artillery captured by the Paraguayans
early In the fight. The fight was very
severe one. More than thousand wound
ed allies had arrived at Concertas from the
field. 'ta-
The Paraguayans still held their fort, and
a severe battle was anticipated. All their
war vessels had been converted into float
ing batteries, with the exception of five,
which are kept as transports and dispatch
boats. .,-.r...
The Brazilian fleet had left the Pardua
and takes up its position above the Tres
Boras, in the Paraguay river. Some of the
newspapers report the water In the latter
river as falling.
Financial matters in Brazil were unim-
proved.
The steamer Brooklyn was coaling at
Buenos Ayres for st. Helena, with the ad-
miral on boarl. The Juniata was ordered
from Monteveido to relieve the Brooklyn,

SPECIAL NOTICES. I
REASONS WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
MADE AT WALTHAM, MASS,
rs THE BENT.

It Is nade on the best principle. It's frane Is
o imposed Of SOLID PLATES. No jar can inter
fere with the harmony Of its working, and no sud
den shock can dAmsge its N achinery. Every piece
is made snd finished by n achinery dtself famous
for its novelty as well for its eectiveness and Is
therefore properly made. The Watch is what all
nechsnism should INACCURATE, SIMPLE,
STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Except come
high grades. too costly for general use, foreign
Watches are chiefly nade by women and boyf.
Such Watches are composed Of several hundred
pieces, screwed and Tiveted together, and require
constant repairs to keep them in any kind Of ORDER
AL persons who have carried "aLcres," "lepines"
and English Patent LEVERS" are perfectly well
aware of the truth of this statement.
At the beginning Of our enterprise, more than ten
years ago, 1t was our first object to make thorough
ly good low priced Watch for the million. TO take
the place Of these foreign impositiOns-the refuse
of fcrege factories which were entirely unsaleAbe
at home and perfectly worthless everywhere.
How well we have accomplished this may be nm
derstood from the fact that afterso many years Of
public trial, we now AXE MORE THAN HALF0F
ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED
STATES, and that no others have ever given such
ur'~nrrol gatisfartion Whne tl's derar'v "-t ~
our business is oontnr cd with increased facilities
LOr perfect WOrk, we are al present enghteu IN the
manufacture of Watches OF the very HIGHEST
GRADE KNOWN TO CHRONoMETRY. une-
qualled by anything hitherto made by ourselves and
unsurpassed by anything made in the world. For
this purpose we have the amplcst facilities. We
have erected an addition to our main buildings ex-
ressly for this branch of our business, and have
filed itwith the best workmen in our service. ew
machines and appliances have been constructed.
which perform their work with consummate delica-
cy and exactness. The choicest and most approved
materials only are Sed. and we challenge compaTi-
son between this grade Of our work and the finest
imported chronometers. We do not pretend To sell
our Watches for fss money than foreign Watches,
but do assert without fear Of contradiction that
for the same money product is incomparably SUI
perior. All our Watches, of whatever grade, are
fully warranted, and this wanantee is good at all
times against us or our gents in all rarts Of the
world
CAUTI0N.-The public are cautioned to buy
only of respectable dealers. All persons selling
counterfeits will be prosecuted. .r .

NEW YORK, June 29.-Advices from the

every direction, but heavy losses still oc-

among cattle and sheep. The settlement of
