D EDUCTION IN PRICE
IL THE
AMERICAN WATCHES,

Made at Waltham, Mass.
IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE RECENT
great decline in gold and silver and all the mate
rails used in the manufacture of our goods, and
in anticipation of still further decline, have
reduced our prices to as low point as they can
be placed
With Gold at Par,
that need hesitate to buy a watch now
from the expectation that it will be cheaper at
some future time. The test of ten years and the
manufacture and sale of
More than 200 1000 Watches,
have given our productions the very highest rank
among time-keepers. Commencing with the de-
termination to make only thoroughly excellent
watches, business has steadily increased as
the public became acquainted with their value,
until for months together, we have been unable
to supply the demand. We have repeatedly en-
larged our factory buildings until they now cover
over three acres of ground, and give accommoda-
ton to more than eight hundred workmen.
We are fully justified in stating that we now
make MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF ALL THE
WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES.
The different grades are distinguished by the
following trademarks engraved on the plate:
l. american Watch Co." Waltham, Mass
2. "Appleton, Tracy & Co., )" WaItham, Mass.
3. "P; BARTLETT Waltham, Mass.
$. OUR LADIES WATCH of first quality is
named Appleton, Tracy II Co. Waltham, Mass.
q. Our next quality of Ladies' Watch is named
p. s. BARTLETT Waltham, Mass. These watch
es are furnished in a great variety of sizes and
styles of cases.
The American Watch Co., of Waltham, Mass,
authorize us to state that without distinction of
trademarks price,
ALL THE PRODUCTS OF THEIR FACTORY
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
to be the best time-keepers of their class
made in this or any other country. Buyers should
remember that unlike the guarantee of foreign
maker who can never be reached, this warr,ntee
is good at all times against the Company or their
agents, and that if after the most thorough trial.
any watch should prove defective in any particu-
lar, it may always be exchanged for another. AS
the American Watches made at Waltham, are for
sale by dealers generally throughout the country,
we do not solicit orders for single watches.
CAUTION.-The public cautioned to buy
only of respectable dealers. All persons selling
counterfeits will be prosecuted.

We are panied to learn from the New Or
leans Crescent, that DIR. Erasmus Darwin
Fenner, one of the best known and most es-
teemed physicians of New Orleans died in
that City on the 4th of May, of typhoid fe-
yer. DR.. Fenner was a relative of the late
Secretary Hill of this place, and we believe
was native of Halifax, N. c., in which
neighborhood he still has relations living
He moved to the State of Mississippi more
than thirty years ago where he practiced his
profession for few years, and then perma-
nently settled in New Orleans, where he has
resided and practiced medicine for more
than quarter of a century. DIR. F. was
highly esteemed as a physician, gentleman
and citizen. The Crescent says -
New Orleans had no better citizen, or
one that regarded her with a truer affection,
than DR.. Fenner. Of his professional career
| we do not feel ourselves competent to write
| his medical brethren will take care that
his memory in that respect be duly honored.
| We only know that as founder of the New
Orleans School of Medicine, he succeeded in
building up an institution of learning here.
to which he was Supremacy devoted, and
which, though interrupted by the war, was
again challenging public favor, and becom-
ing an important addition to the medical
schools of the South. DR.. Fenner was also
q laborious worker with his pen, and his con-
tributions to medical literature, in the shape
of books, essays and reports are to be found,
and are highly esteemed in many of the med
ical libraries, not of the South only, but of
the whole country. As man, the numer
Gus friends he had and the mourners who
will to-day follow him to the grave will best
attest his worth. He combined industry and
enthusiasm with prudence, and won his way
to professional and personal eminence not
less by his sterling qualities and fine intelli-
gence than by graceful suavity and courte-
sy of manner. that made him friends among
| all classes and conditions of people. Many
of our people will feel, as we do, that his
death is personal bereavement there
will be no tribute of respect to his memory
that will not find an echo in the hearts of the
people of New Orleans

That excellent Union journal, the Rich
mond Republic, has just entered on its second
volume In doing so the Editor says:
sin despite of all this, and of its constant
advocacy of the extension to the people of
Virginia of their former civil and political
rights, and the admission of loyal Virginia
representatives to Congress, this journal has
been Systematically denounced and viliied
as enemy of the South-denounceda and
vilifed because of assuming positions which
all the other public journals of the South
afterwards sustained. Knowing that Presi-
dent johnson was engaged in a contest
against fearful odds; feeling the Importance
of disarming the opposition to his humane
and noble policy; aware that any exhibition
of an embittercd and disloyal spirit would
he hailed with deli sht and used with effect
by his enemies; anxious to silence all clamor
at the North against his stafesmanlike and
philanthropic intentions, and being inform
cd of the precise requisites that would be
expected of those selected for the various of
fees to be filled, we urged, entirely for the
public good, and to expedite the general
movement, that no candidates should offer,
or be supported as candidates, save those
who could stand unobnoxious to the author
tiles. This was the extent of our otfendings,
and, in this very position, which caused all
the clamor against this Journal we were af-
forwards unanimously sustained by the
whole public press of Virginia Well would
it have been for this old Commonwealth if
the counsels OF The Republic had been needed
and unanimously supported at the outset
We should scarcely now be standing outside
the gates of Congress, or exposed to even a
breath of suspicion, if no men had been
elected to Office whose election could have
heen made a pretext, by our enemies, for re-
fusing the State a prompt and full recogni-
ton in the Union. Knowing the purity of
our motives, and feeling well assured that
time will demonstrate the value of our adj
vice, We can afford to bear with equanimity
the misconstructions of ignorance and the
Misrepresentation of malice. In the mean
time it is at any rate some consolation that
the President, to whom the South looks as
its champion and defender, thoroughly APP
proves the principles and course of this
journal"

destruction Of the soul. The health aud
amusement Of people should not be Under
valued. But their morality is OF far greater
themselves as immortal beings, than
anything that concerns only their physical
condition. We can appreciate, as fully as
others, the benefit of fresh air and exercise;
the advantage OF getting out into the country
and "lOoking up through Nature to Natures
God" That is all very fine. 1t smaeks OF
humanity. 1t appeals directly to the human
heart. But if the whole. mass of our popula-
ton could be carried into the suburbs by
means of a cheap conveyance, we seriously
doubt whether the excursionists would be
more pro6ted in health or in morals
than they would be If compelled to
stay at home. At all events, until society can
be perfectly assured that the turning of the
Christian Sabbath into a common holiday for
popular diversion and enjoyment will not
result in the moral deprivation OF the people,
and the consequent undermining of the very
foundations of government, our Legislature
should be careful how they make the least
concession to those who are seeking to obtain
a relaxation of the Sunday law" of the State.
The smallest opening of the gate restraining
the flood of popular license might be fatal.
1t is not possible to foresee to what fearful
lengths the tide, once loosed, would flow.
Firmly held in check. it can do no harm. But
grant it one inch of vent, and it may break
down all barriers, and inundate the whole
land.
1t is not, therefore, in any particular inno
vation on the usual observance OF the Sabbath
that dagger lies, or against which the com
munity is concerned to array itself. The sale
of liquors, the publishing Of papers, and the
running of city passenger cars on Sunday,
are one and all regarded by the religious COM
munity as violations of the Sabbath. But it is
not against them specifically that objection and
opposition should be made. Those who defend
the sacredness of the Lords Day ought not
to assail particular violations or violators of
the Sabbath, but determine to maintain the
religious character of the day generally, and
and on the broad principle Of universal moral
duty and social policy. his course would be
far more efiectual than that which provokes
the selfish resentment of special classes and
interests; and we therefore commend the
friends of the Sabbath TO defend their cause on
its own broad intrinsic merits, rather than en-
gage in direct warfare against specific
abuses and particular offenders.

The people of Maryland have caught the

State Among the new projects is the Metro

connections. Another s road from Washing

city TO some point on Lake Erie.
