no sudden shock can damage its machinery. Ev-
cry piece IL made and finished by machinery 1T
self famous for Its novelty, we'll ss for Its ef
feetiveness) and IL therefore properly made Tho
watch IL what all IN echanism should be-A ceurate,
simpie, Strong and Economical. Except some
high grades, too costly for general -use, foreign
watches are chiefly made BY women and boys
Such watches are composed or several hundred
pieces, screwed and riveted together. and require
constant repairs to keep them In any kind OF or
der. All persons who have carried "ancres, "le-
pines" and "English Patent Levers" are pei feet
ly welleware Of the truth OF this statement. Fl
At the beginning Of our enterprise moro than
ten years ago, II was our hrst object to make
thoroughly good low priced watch for the million,
TO take the place of these foreign postonsj the
refuse Of foreign factories, which were entirely
unsaieabis At home and perfectly worthless every
where. . sia'
How well we have accomplished this. may be
understood from the fact that after so many years
of 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 sat
isfaction. While this department OF our business
Is continued with Increased facilities for perfect
work, We are at present aged in the manu- as-
turs of watches of the very highest grade known
to Chronometry, unequaled by anything hitherto
made by ourselves, and unsurpassed ty anything
made In the world. For this purpose We have the
arnplest facilities. We have erected an addition
to our main building expressly for this branch of
business, and have filled II With the best workmen
in service. New machines and appliances have
been constructed which perform their work with
consummate delicacy and exactness. The choicest
and most approved materials only are used, end
we challenge comparison between this grade Of
our weak and the finest imported chronom eters.-
We do not pretend to sell our watches for less
money than foreign watches, but we do assert
without fear Of contradiction that for the same
money our product Ia incomparably superior. All
our watches, OF whatever grade, nre fully war
rantcd, and this warantee Ia COED at all times
against our agents in all parts of the world.

spectacle dealers. All persons selling counter

THIS celebrated Perfume, which has of late en-
l. amored the fashionable world abr Dad, posses
ses n two-fold usefulness. II contains the vola-
tile essence of Turkish plants. known in the SER
agiios and harems of the East as possessing the
power to create Love and greatly influence the at
feetions, producing q sentiment OF oneness orunity
IN Love, even in the most rowing Of minds. This
virtue renders the Fragrantie Invaluable to per-
sons who feel the abseuce or loss Of the affections
Of those whose love they prize. There Is produced
q warmth of feeling in the hearts of those whom
1t Is intended to affect, thus promoting marriage
and rendering conjugalty a continued Joy.
1t speedily dispels all nervous fear, awakens the
sluggish or dilatory lover, quickens the unapp-e-
eiating friend, removes tho bashfulness of the
maiden, developks the heart feelings, equalizes
love, makes the rough path fpeevish nature even,
and opens in each breast n little heaven. To
wives who fear or feel their husbands love decay,
II commends itself beyond all words. To lovers,
or those who would be loved, Its silent influence
Is hourly exerted with the happicst results. It's
effects are Irresistible. To those who mourn an
absent dear one, its aroma comes like n Foothing
balm. No walk In life so gloomy, no nature
uncouth no heart so pulseiess, as not to acknowl-
edge the sunshine Of its presence.
Asa perfume tho PRAGRANrIE not only sur
masses all other preparations in luxurious rich
moss, but withstands the action Of the atmosphere.
The aroma IL delicate, and capt. ates the senses
Constantly bestowing its sweetness, II Is mex

THE ANNrvERsARY.-As our readers
are generally aware, the eighth ami
versary of the Young Mems Christian
Association of this city will be celebrat-
ed tomorrow evening, with appropri-
ate exercises, in the First Presbyterian
Church. The programme for the even
ing is completed, and is attractive and
highly creditable. Rev. VIM. b. Cults,
Of Philadelphia, and Prof. Evans and
| Col. Fisher, of Cincinnati, will reach
hero this evening, and will be present
and deliver addresses tomorrow night.
Philip Phillips, the "Sweet Singer" has
kindly consented to sing two or three
hymns. Rev. R.V. Dodge, one Of the orig
inal founders Of the organization, has
prepared a short history of the Associa-
ton, which will be read. A number Of
appropriate hymns have beer selected
and printed for the use Of the congrega
ton. We are confident the meeting
will be one of the most interesting and
impressive ever held in the city.
Representatives of sister Associations
Of this, and probably other States, are
expected to be present. The South
Wheeling Association "sends greeting"
to the committee of Arrangements, and
promises to send at least t~hirty-6ye
young men to participate in the meet
ing.
The Wheeling Association was organ
lied in 1859, and at that time had but ten
or fifteen members. Since then, notwith-
standing, the interruption occasioned by
the war the membership has steadily in
creased, and to-day it numbers near one
hundred men. In addition to the estab-
lishment Of the Religious Book House,
and the distribution Of tracts and Bibles
in this city and portions Of the State,
the Association has done . great and
good work in the way Of seeking out
young men, upon their arrival in the
city, and securing for them boarding
houses and employment. and introdut-
ing them into the Church or Sabbath
School.
Arrangements are now being made to
enlarge the usefulness of the organiza-
ton, and in q few weeks a free reading
room will be fitted up, and the rooms
of the Association will be open every
evening in the week, except Sunday.
The collection to be taken tomorrow
night, at the close of the Anniversary,
is to assist in ~defraying the necessary
expenses incurred by the Association in
the great and noble undertaking we
have Just alluded to.
