REASON WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH
Made at WALTHAM, MAssA CHUsETT

IS THE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle. Its frame is
composed of SOLID PLATES. Nor jar can in
terfere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Gtself
famous for its novelty well as for its effective
messy and is therefore properly made. The watch
is what all mechanism should be-ACCURATE,
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Ex-
cept some high grades, too costly for general use,
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and
boys. Such watches are composed of several
hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together,
and require constant repairs to keep them in any
kind of order. All persons who have carried
"ancres' "lepines' and "English Patent Le-
vers," are perfectly well aware of the truth of
this statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make
thoroughly gooa low priced watch for the mill
ion, to take the place os these foreign imposi-
tions; the refuse of foreign factories which were
entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly worth
less elsewhere.
How well we have accomplished this, may be
uuucISuOOQ lTOul ldCt tlldI SO ulduy yCdlb VI
public trial, we now make MORE THAN HALF
OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES, and that no Others have ever
given such universal satisfaction. While this de-
partment of our business is continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work, we are at pre-
sent engaged in the manufacture of watches of
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CHRONOMETRY, unequaled by anything hither-
to made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by any
thing made in the world. For this purpose we
have the amplest facilities We have erected an
addition to our main building expressly for this
branch of our business and have filed it with the
best workmen in our service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed which per-
form their work with consummate delicacy and
exactness. The choicest and most approved ma
terials only are used, and we challenge compari-
son between this grade of our work and the finest
imported chrOnometers We do not pretend to
sell our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign
watches, but we do assert without fear of contra
diceion that for the SAME MONEY our product is
incomparably superior. All our watches, of what
ever grade are fully warranted, and this warran-
tee is good at all times against us or our agents
in all parts of the world
CAUTION.-The public are cautioned to buy
only of responsible dealers. All persons selling
counterfeits will be prosecuted.

While Governor Worth of North Carolina
was writing his message, in which he saga
ciously recommends the deportation of the
bulk of the laboring population of the State,
large number of his fellow citizens, Mr..
John Pool among them, who is one of the
most respectable and ablest of North-Caro-
linians, were holding an agricultural meeting
in Berthe County. Berthe is one of the finest
counties in the State, productive of corn and
cotton, washed on three sides by navigable
waters, penetrated by river deep enough to
float any craft which can navigate any North
Carolina river, and the county town is with
in days journey by steamboat of the city
of Norfolk But two-thirds of all the land
in BERTHE is covered with forest, and of the
cleared land more than half is not under cul-
tivation. So, while the Governor is either
clumsily sneering or is seriously recommend
ing th Legislature to take steps that would
reduce still more of the State to wilder
ness, the farmers of Berthe naturally enough
are passing resolutions pledging themselves
to treat with civility and kindness Northern
farmers who will come among them and set
tie, and help to develop the resources of the
country. 1t is not men like these who de-
iberately write or speak such folly as the
Governor has been guilty Of Indeed, such
men as he, we are persuaded, are SO few in
number that it is not necessary to wish that
they might be made to try for year or two
life on the plantations, with no negroes and
with their quarters full of Germans say,
or two factions of Irish, or Englishmen not
fond Of Indian corn.-The Nation.

Mr.. Wentworth offered resolution in the
House of Representatives of the United
States, day or two since, to the effect that
the many recent acts of disloyalty in the
Rebel States are additional reasons why they
should pass the Constitutional Amendment
before Congress can consider the propriety
of admitting them. 1t was passed by llS
to 80. ....-
One Of these recent acts of disloyalty in

"By an act of Congress a large quantity
Of public land was donated to each State to
erect and put in operation an Agricultural
College. The Governor suggests that North
Cardinals share of this fund be used to en-
GRAFT such Department In the college at
Chapel Hill. We do not think such dlspo-
sit;on of the fund would Ike prudent or bene-
fetal. unless the management at Chapel Hill
is materially changed. At present, scores of
our uoung men are going to Colleges outside
the limits of this State Chapel Hill does not
sustain the reputation it formerly did-and
the addition of an Agricultural Department
will not much help its standing. We are OPP
posed to partial donations of public proper,
fy or money. fit is thought best not to es-
tabIish separate College, for promoting Ag,
riculture. let the fund be fairly divided
among all our Colleges, and let an Agricul-
tural Chair be supported in each. Let Chap-
ell Hill take its chance among other institu,
lions, and let the institution be conducted
in more energetic and economical manner
1t might be better, for the present, to leave
