REDUCTION in PRICE
OF THE
American Watches,
MADE At WALTHAM, MASS.

In consequence of the recent great decline in
gold and silver and all the materials used in the
manufacture of our goods, and in anticipation of
still further decline we have reduced prices TO
as low point as they be placed
WITH GOLD AT PAR,
so that no one need hesitate to bay watch now
from the expectation that ii will be cheaper at
some future time. The test of ten years and the
manufacture and sale of
MORE THAN 2oo 600 WATCHES,
have given our productions the very highest rank
among tme-keepers. Commencing with the deter
mination to make only thoroughly excellent watch
es our 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 enlarged our
factory buildings until they now cover over three
acres of ground, and give accommodation TO more
than eight hundred workmen.
We are fully justified in stating that we now
make more than half of all the watches sold in the
United States. The different grades are distin
guished by the following trade marks engraved on
the plate:
l american Watch CO. Waltham, Mass.
2 Appleton. Tracy ( Co." Waltham, Mass.
3 "P. S. Bartlett Waltham, Mass
"Wm. ElIery.''
Our ladies watch of first quality is named
Appleton, Tracy & Co. Watham. Mass
Our next quality of Ladies Watch is named
p. S. Bartlett" Watham Mass. These
watches are furnished in great variety of
sizes and styles of cases.
The American Watch Co., of Waltham Mass,
authorize US to state that without distinction of
trade marks price,
ALL THE PRODUCTS OF THEIR FACTORY
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
TO be the best time keepers of their class ever made
in this or any other country. Buyers should re-
member that unlike the guarantee of a foreign
maker who can never be reached, this warranee is
good at all times against the Company or their
agents, and that il after the most thorough trial,
any watch should prove defective in any particular
il may always he exchanged for another. As the
American " Watches made at Waltham, are for sale
by dealers generally throughout the country. we do
not solicit orders Tor single watches.
CAUTlON.-The public are cautioned to buy
only of respectable dealers. All persons selling
counterieits will be prosecuted.

1872, be was promoted TO the rank OF Lieu'eD-
ant Colonel and ordered 10 the Canadian from
tier. Arriving at Lewiston while the battle
of Queenstown Heights was n progress, he
crossed the river. and engaging in the fight,
won the field but it was lost finally and him
self aud command taken prisoners, from the re-
fusal Of the troops at Lewiston TO come to tie
assistance of the command. Upon being ex-
changed he distinguished himself in the naval
and lard attack upon Fort George, in the ad-
vane of WnKIssoN's descent of the ST. Law
renee, at Fort Erie, where he exercised the
rank of Brigadier General with RIPLEY, and
which stronghold they took with part of lis
garrison, at the battle Of Chippewa aud the
fght of Lundys Lane, where the best British
troops were defeated. At the battle Of Lrn-
dy's Lane, General ScoTr was badly wounded,
and had two horses killed under him. After
peace was declared ScoTr was offered and de-
clned seat in the Cabinet as Secretary Of
War, and was promoted to be Major General.
He assisted in the reduction Of the army to q

rebellion 10 Canada, on which occasion be ex

with Mexico, which commenced in 1916. is
familiar TO our readers, many of whom partici
pa,ed in the glorious battles which were won.
In 1852 he was the unsuccessful candidate Of
the Wing party for the Presidency against
General Pierce. In 1855 the brevet rank of
Lieutenant General was revived in order that
it might be conferred upon General ScoIT. In
1859 be was chiefly Instrumental in arranging
the boundary difficulties of the Straits of Fuca
with Great Britain. He retired from active
service in 1861 retaining by virtue of an Act
of Congress. his full pay and allowances. Thus
has passed away, at ripe old age, one of the
great men of the nation, and one whose history
is intimately blended with that Of the Repub
lie for period of nearly 60 years. Peace to

ANOTHER CHANGE IN THE RoUTE.-Tbe
Nevada city Transcript learns that the Pacific
Railroad Company is talking of changing the
line of their road to the Henness Pass. 1t is
said they have struck mountain of rock that
it is impossible TO get through, and it is now
proposed to run up along Bear River Valley
to Canyon creek. and through to the Summit
on the Heuness Pass road. They had better
ndopt the open and practical route of Feather
river at nce.-Butte Record.

NOTHING THAT IS NOT WHOLESOME,
~ genial and restorative in its nature enters into
the composition of Hostetter's Stomach Btters.
This popular preparation contains no mineral OF
any kind. no deadly botanical element; no fierce
exctant: but il is combination of the extracts Of
rare halsamic herbs rnd plants with the pureSt and
mil6est of all diffasiye stimulants.
The weak stomach is rapidly inyigorated and
the appetite restored by this agreeable Tonic. and
hence il works wonders in case of Dyspepsia and
in less confirmed forms of Indigestion. Acting
gentle and painless apperiept, as well as upon
the liver, it also invariably relieves the Coz sipa-
ton superiuduced by irregular action of the dges-
tive secretive organs.
Persons of feeble habit, liable to Nervous At

find prompt and permanent relief from the Biters.
The testimony on this point is most conclusive and
