Hop american Watches
are Made.

The American Waltham Watch Is made
by no auch uncertain proesss-and by no
such incompetent workmen. 1.-THE oom
pany,s operations, from the reception of
fhe raw ma,erials 10 the completion OF the
watcl. are carried on under one roof and
Inder one skillful and competent direction.
mt the great distinguishing feature of
their watches, is the fact t1at tteir sew
eral parts are allmade by the finest, the
most perfect and delicate machinery ever
bro't to the aid of human industry. Every
one of che moro than hundred parts OF
every watch is made by q machine, that
infailibly reprOduces every succeeding
part with the most unvarying accuracy. 1t
vas only necessary to make one perfect
watch Of any articular style and then to
adjust the hu 'dre1 machines necessary to
reproduce every part Of that watch, and
IL follows that every succ eding watch
must be like il. The Company respect
fully submit their watches on their merits
only. They claim TO make q bet er watch
for the money, by their improved me-
Sbanical processes than can be made un-
der the old fashioned handicraft system.
They manufacture wetches Of every grade,
from a good, w-priced, and substantial
artfJie, IN sond ellVeI huhIlug ehseS, W
the finest chronometer; and alSo ladies'
watches in plain gold or The finest enam-
eled and jeweled cases; but the iEdiSFsen.
sable requisite Of all their watches is that
they shall be GOOD TIMEKEEPERS. II
should be remembered that, except their
sipQle lowest gralo namnd "Home W Watch
Company, Boston," all wa,ches made 5sy
them ARE FULLY WARRANTED by special
certificate, and: this warrantes is good at
Iall times against the Company or its

MADE AT
Waltham, Mass.

The American Watch Company, of
Waltham, Mass respectfully submit that
their Watches are cheaper. more accurate,
less complex, ,mote durable, better adap-
ted for general use, and mere easily Kept
in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market. They are simpler
in structure. and therefore stronger and
less likely to be injured than The majority
of foreign watches, whicn are composed
of from l25 to 800 pieces, while in an old
English wa'ch there are more than 700
parts. How they run under the hardest
trial Watches can have, is shown by the
following letter:

SOMEBODY asked the other day, why
it was that we did not publish the pro-
ceedings OF the Police Court any more ?
One reason why we don't is that very
few cases come before that court now
a-days, much fewer thanls desirable, II
only the pecuuiary interests of those
whose special duty it is to maintain the
peace OF the city, is taken into. consid-
Grafton, for under existing circumstan-
ces, being a police officer is somewh
like being u member OF the Legislature,
it requires man of means TO afford 1t.
Another reason we have is that the
scally-wags who form the generality OF
those who come before that court, have
little or no sense of shame, and rather
regard the notoriety thus obtained as
something to be proud of, so low is
their sense of honor. .l.as
Lastly, so long as the present indvid-
ual attends in any part to the local coll
umn OF this paper he would like to deal
with strict imPartiality, and pub
lish all or none. Yet if u man
or the son OF a man of social disposi-
ton gets into difficulty which brings
him before his honor, Judge Good, the
local is requested not to publish the
matter, 'it was only an unfortunate ac-
cident, and the party will not probably
beguilty again" Our theory is, that the
first offence should be handled severe
~, and the responsibility or the pre-
tended responsibility OF the party is
only "a reason that he should be made to
feel that respectable standing in
community is II something to be guard
ed with sacred care; something that is
to be maintained in its purity as a
moral standard and that cannot be used
as cloak to screen offenders from
publicity. We have always no.
ticed that people who presumed
upon the general good standing of
themselves OF their relatives or upon
the influence of moneyed position to
commit occasional breaches, either of
low or good morals, soon become the
most troublesome offenders known to
the community. These are our views
of the police business, and yet there
has been in time past, and no doubt
will continue to be, people who will diff
fer with US, and will deem 1t exceeding
ly ungenerous to bring the names of
occasional offenders before the public.
but il We bring Que, we will bring all
with relentless persistency.

To az before the Police Court for
brawIss and fights seemed for several
wears past to be the highest ambition
of Patrick QuinIan. He appeared
reckless OF the expense attending the
acquisition of what seemed to him a
reputation he seemed 10 have no idea
that either the press or the public would
ever. be surfeited with recording or
reading the history of his deeds, nor
did he realize that even in his particu-
lar line there is point beyond which
the public will not bear with man
ranging about like wild beast. Peo-
pie have let him alone simply because
it was evident that he was on
the swift road either to the States
Prison or a violent death, and
he has been passing on from one
species OF ruffianism to another
until yesterday he was brought before
Justice Johnson, charged with being
and identified by Charles Stewart, of
Wyoming county, as the accomplice Of
Michael Brady in the robbery COM
United upon him few nights ago.
The Justice committed him for trial
at the Circuit Court. he was also COM
mitted by the same officer for trial for
assault with intent to kill, made upon
Deputy Sergeant John Brady, while at
tempting to arrest him. He fired three
shots at the officer, narrowly missing
him each time. He was also committed
for examination, at a future day, on a
charge of assault and battery on the
person of Mary Mcdonald.
