CAUTION PROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY.

1t having come to our knowledge that i'm
itations of ihe American Watch have been
put upon the market in great number, calca-
lated by their utter worthlessness to iniure
the reputation of our genuine producis, to
protect our own interests and the public from
imposition, we again publish the trade marks
by which our Watches may invariably be
known.
We manufacture 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" en-
graved on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the name Amer
lean 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.
1t is hardly possible for us TO accurately
describe the numerous limitations to which
we have alluded. They are usually inscribed
with names so nearly approaching our own
as to escape the observation Of the unaccus.
toned buyer. Some are represented as made
by the "Union Watch Co., of Boston, Mass
no such company existing. Some are
named the 'Soldier's Watch" to be sold as
our Fourth or Vim. Ellery style, usually
known as the ''Soldier's Watch" Others are
named the "Appleton Watch Co. )" others
The P. s. BartLEY," instead of our "P S. Bart
lett )" besides many varieties named in such
a manner as to convey the idea that they are
the yeritabIe productions of the American
Watch Company.
We also caution the public, and particu-
arly soldiers, against buying certain articles
CALLED watches so freely advertised in illus
trated papers as Army Watches" "Oficer's
Watches" "Magic Time Observers" !" "Arcana
Watches" &C.. the prices of which are stated
to be from seven to sixteen dollars. A good
watch, in these times, cannot be afforded :
any such money.
A little attention on the part of buyers will
protect them from gross imposition.

Gov Hamilton. of Texas, made a speech
q, Austin, recently, in which he opposed
some ordinances passed by the convention al
not being republican, or meeting the demand
made upon the Constitutionality. They had
passed but one ordinance which accorded full
ly with the hresident's policy, and that was
declaring the war debt null and void. He
appealed from the action of the convention
to the people. The convention had passed
and ordinance exeinpting all persons who,
uuder authority of civil or military power,
had inflicted injury upon persons during the
war from being held accounted. Such ordi-
nance would not and should not shield them.
He called upon the loyal people of the
State to work together. He believed pro-
visions should be made to admit negroes to
vote if be became elevated aud come up to
certain Standards. The convention had re-
fused this, and refused to give blacks any
quality Of school fund or make Any provision
for their education. They had, however,
been taxed to assist whites in sending their
children to school. He intended to an
poaaee 70 the people there Who had worked
against the intereset Of the State.
