REDUCTION sN PRICE
OF THE
AMERICAN WATCHES,
Made at vVAl4'FERAHg, Mass.

NEieOS "a SS IA "a h EA n NE. iyE ss sS.
In consequent of the recent great decline
in gold and silver and all the materials used
in the manufacture of our goods, and in an
ticipation of still further decline, we have
reduced our prices 10 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 at some future time. The test of
ten years and the manufacture and sale of
More than 100000 Watches,
have given our productions the very highest
rank among tlmekeepers. Commencing with
the determination 10 make thoroughly excel
lent watches, our business has steadily in
creased 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 ONE-HALF OF
ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES. The different grades
are distinguished by the following trade
marks engraved on the plate:
/. "American Watch Co." Waltham,
Mass.
.. Appleton, Tracy g. Co." wultham,
Mass
3. "P, s. Bartlett" wnltham, Mass.
4. "Wm. Ellery."
5. "OUR LADIES' WATCH of the first
quality is named appleton, Tracy
81 Co." Waltham. Mass
6. sour next quality of Ladies' Watch Is
-
Mass. These watches are furnished
in great variety of sizes and styles
ofcases.
The American Watch Co, of Waltham,
Mass, authorize us to state that without
distinction of trade marks or price,
ALL THE PRODUCTS OF THEIR FAC
TORY ARE FULLY WARRNTED
to be the best time-keepers of their class ev-
er made in this or any other country. Buy
ers should remember that unlike the guar
antee of a foreign maker who can never be
reached this warrantee is good at all times
against the Company or their agents, and
that If after the most thorough trial, any
watch should prove defective in any paftic-
ular, it may always be exchanged for anolh-
er. As the American Watches made at
Waltham, are for sale by dealers generally
throughout the country, we do not solicit or
ders for single watches
CAUTlON.-The public are cautioned to
buy only of respectable dealers. All persons
selling counterfeils will be prosecuted.

"Rcsolred, That the official course Of

mistakable manifestations of his affection
and respect for the people, and confidence
in their undou5ted patriotism and deter

his honesty of purpose and inlexible reso-
luton TO promote the welfare of the whole
Union, are a guaranty against the success of
all future schemes Of secession, revolution or
usurpation.
"Resolrcd, That we perceive in the results
of the recent elections no proof of any pre-
ponderance of public opinion sufficient to
Justify the continual exclusion, by Congress,
of legal Representatives from any State
constitutionally entitled to representation
and that we trust harmony between different
departments of the Government and between

Eeninn TRIMS

TORONTO, G. W., Oct. 3l.-The Fenian
trials commenced at noon to-day, The
sheriff having called over the names Of the
jury, John Quinn was placed in the dock.
r. A. Harrison, Mr.. McNabe, and J. Patter-
son appeared for the Crown, and Kenneth
Mckenzie, Q. c., appeared for the prisoner.
The prisoners couRcii applied for a post
ponement Of the trial, in consequence Of the
absence of a material witness, who could
not be found, and other grounds set forth in
an affidavit. He alsQ stated that he found
great difficulty in procuring the necessary
evidence. The affidavit sets forth that the
prisoner belongs to Rochester, N. Y, and
that certain newspapers had published arti-
cles calculated to prejudice the public mind
against him, and also the minds Of the jurors;
and that the prisoner never had intimation
of the nature of the evidence against him,
and had been destitute, until recently, OF
means of making inquiry as to the evidence,
The prisoner further believes that he will be
ready for trial next January.
Mr.. Mckenzie urged that no delay should
be granted,
Mr.. r, a, Harrison contended that as to-
day was the day the prisoner had stated he
would be ready for trial, and the Crown had
been at great expense and inconvenience to
keep the witnesses here, the grounds set forth
in the affidavit would not warrant the appli-
cation being granted. The Judge upon
looking over the newspapers referred to,
overruled that portion of the affidavit re.
ferring to them, but suggested certain
amendments, which being made the appli-
cation, was granted, and the trial postponed
until the 18th of next month
The next prisoner brought into court
was Patrick Magrath, who claims TO be an
American citizen. Mr.. Mckenzie made
a similar application for postponement as
before.
