T" o God cur help in ages past,
Our hope for years 10 come"

The CLOSING SERVICES in the Vestry the Of
Congregational Church, were held last Tuesday
evening. The room was well illed, and the SER
vices OF peculiarly interesting character. The
services were conducted by the Rev. Mr.. Lord,
taking as the text for his few interesting and ap-
proprate remarks, Malachi ill., xvi, stating that
the same verse was read at the opening service in
that room nearly twenty years since--a very APP
propriste text for the OCCASION and one calculated
to awaken in the minds OF the older members of
the church recollections of the many indications
they bad received that 80 the Lord had hearkened
and heard" The reverend gentleman urged upon
his audience the importance of speaking often
one to another" and the more so now that the
building, in which they had so often met for social
communion with God was to be torn down. He
hoped that when by-snd-by their new audience
chamber is completed, they would meet there in
augmented numbers and that the " Book of Re.
membranes in the future might be marked with
even more pleasant memories than the past.

AMERICAN MANuFACruREs THE AMERICAN
WAtcn Co, OF WALTnAM, MAss.--Eyery one
knows that the mechanism Of the best manufacto.
ries Of this country is unequaIled in any other
part Of the world. The genius Of American me-
chauics produced the cotton-gin, the mechanical
reaper and mower, the sewing -machne, and last
but not least, the wonderful machinery Of the
American Watch Company Of Waltham This
Company was established in 1850, and has grown
in proportions which enttle il to a first rank
among the manufacturing enterprises Of the New
World. 1t employs between 300 and 1000 art-
of superior skill and character. and large
and thriving town has grown up in its vicinity
The factory over three acres of ground, and
as an illustration of its extent we may mention
that it is supplied with more than 60 miles of iron
pipes, and produces an aggregate Of nearly 70, 900
watches per annum. The founders of this Com
pany believed that the same delicate mechanical
processes which had produced such remarkable
perfect results in larger machines, might be APP
piled with even greater advantage to the produc-
ton OF the watch The foreign time-peces are
made principally by hand, and except when Of
high cost an imperfect article, often out of repair
and of little value as the result. Abroad these
mysterious and inhnitesimal organs which, when
aggregated, produce watch, are the fruit Of slow
and toilsome manual processes. In the results,
there must o. course be lack Of that perfect uni
formity which is indispensable for correct time
keeping. The constituent parts of the American
watch On the other hand, are fashioned by the
most delicate and accurate machinery. Wheels
pinions, springs, screws, absolutely uniform in
weight, circumference, dimensions, and in every
possible particular, are turned out in myriads by
unerring fingers Of steel, and their proper combi-
nation and adjustment by skful workmen have
given the Company its high reputation. Its
watches not only 90 with the trade and 90 in the
pockets of 100000 people, but they go right and

INTERESTING TO WooL-GRow ERs.--llon. Ed
mund Hammond, one Of committee to consult
with The congreional Committee Of Ways and Means
in regard to the duty on wool, reported as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Hammond said he found when brought in
contact with Congressional committees having the
remodeling Of the tariff under consideration, that
a spirit OF iberality governed their deliberations,
and an earnest purpose to keep all the varied in
teresis Of the country in full view in forming the
new tariff bill. The manufacturers at first did
not favor the rate asked for by the various Wool
Growers Associations Of ten cents and ten per
cent. al vaiorem, but receded ultimately, and
wool producers in Vermont might rest assured
that the justice Of their petition was Acknowledged,
and number Of prominent Congressman ex-
pressed their qualification at the sending OF a
committee TO represent the wool interest Of Yer
mont before the tariff committee of Congress. -
Canada wool would. under the new tariff come in
the same category with other foreign woods.
Mr. a. l. Smith argued that the want Of spe-
citc duty was the prolific source Of trouble under
the old tariff, and the new one would bring no
relief unless this was guarded against.
Mr. Hammond replied that specific duty would
be imposed and protection equal to thirteen
cents and two mills is the actual duty proposed (;
this to be doubled on river washed wool, and
trebled on secured. This he deemed step in the
right direction, and decided advance in favor Of
the wool-growing interest Of Vermont aud the

II was listened to with marked attention through

the provisions of the bill that could have been
given" We shall publish it in our next, and also
the remarks of Senator Poland on Executive ap-

the amendment revolutionary. but withdrew the
phrase. His position is that by usage, the Presi-

quite accurately describes the position of public

ostensible purpose of the bill was to honor Gen.
Grant but the real purpose was to make little
capital for the Presidential race, by getting the
Democrats on the record against the General
The Democrats foied that by speeches compli-
mentary TO him and by voting generally for the
bill. Politically then, nothing is gained by the
bill and its only effect will be to give Lieut. Gen
Grant (if the President shall give him the ofice)
the title Of General and bonus of 31b6O per

sum was not round million in gold as a present
