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 a
still further decline, have reduced prices to
as low point as they can be placed
WITH GOLD AT PAR,
so that no one need hesitate to buy watch now
from the expectation that it will be cheaper al
some future time. The test of ten years and the
manufacture and sale Of
MORE THAN 200 900 WATCHES,
have given our productions the very highest rank
among time keepers. Commencing with the deter
minaton 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 o. 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 trademarks engraved on
the plate:

SHOOTING MATcH-The quiet stiffness of Orc
vile and vicinity was disturbed Wednesday
evening. by shooting match between HENRY
BIRD and WILLIAM CALVERT. The latter person
came to Oroville, sometime last winter, with a wo-
man, supposed to be his wife, and a child. Some
time during the spring, he left for the mountains,
and the woman went to live with BIRD. On Mon
day he returned to town, and understanding the
situation of affairs seemed to be anxious to secure
the child, which he supposed to be his. He had
several interviews with BIRD and the woman, and
was ordered to leave. On Tuesday evening, as
BIRD and the woman were approaching their doni-
Gil. in company with IA Mrs. BUTLER. they discov-
cred CALVERT making his escape from the house,
with double barreled shotgun belonging to BIRD,
whereupon the chase and the shooting began BIRD
dring his revolver some four or FIVE times and CAL
VERT dischargng both barrels of the shotgun No
damage resulted from the firing except that BIRD
received single bird shot in his arm--the gun be-
ing charged with fine shot. CALVERT slept in Jail
owing to the activity of officer Wolf, Oroville's
efficient guardian of the public peace. The next
day. in ustice Dicks Court both parties failed to
make out a case The woman swore that she was
not married to CALVERT, although she had lived
with him for some time. CALVERT swore that he
thought he had been married to the woman by a
priest-but was not sure. BIRD testified that he
was living with the woman and supporting her
The Court looked perplexed, and very stern at Off
Ger WOLF, for bringing such medley into Cou TT.
There had clearly been breach of the Peace; but
to require CALVERT to give bonds to keep the peace
would be equivalent to sending him to JAIL and in
creasing the public expense. Besides he had been
soldier In the army of the Potomac, so officer WOLF
told him to GO his hotel, and be and not
away-and he did not leave until about three
O'Clock the following morning. "All quiet on the
