CoatNG.-Duprez & Benedict's famous
band of Ministries are coming and viii give
one entertainment in Babcock's Hall, Wed
nesday evening June 18th. Mr.. Charlie
Slocum, their agent, was in town yesterday
making the necessary arrangements. The
reputation of Duprz & Benedict's troupe is
so well known that it is only necessary to an
nounce their coming to insure a full house.
They have with them all the old favorites
Messrs. Holmes, Murphy, West, Lavellee,
Bishop, Kent, and the German Trio Jordan,
Hendrick and Kritta. They return with new
songs, pantomimes, burlesques, &c, to say
nothing of the great Black Crook dance by

with crowded house.
They give two entertainments in Daven-
port, June 9th and 7th, and twoin Iowa city

THE spiritualists had their first annyver-
sary in Babcoek's Hall, yesterday afternoon,
where an address was delivered, by Miss Whe-
lock. Several toasts and responses followed.
The attendance was not large. In the even.
ing they had dance at Rodman Hall, which
was attended by just enough to comfortably
dance at one time, and which was participa-
ted in.by such little boys as W. 7. Norris, L.
D. Dimick, Henry Dart and other lads, who
danced like top and had a gay time.
Some of the old tello,cs, just beginning to
raise a little fuz on their upper lips, got SO
spiritual and noisy that they thought they
owned the Rodman House. They were
spanked and put to bed. This morning they
got up with very bad headaches and went
home to their mammas-in Davenport.
We hope they will behave better next time
they 60 away from home.

ACARD FROM TIRE
American Watch Company
OF
WALTHAM. MASS.

This Company beg leave to inform the public
that they commenced operations in 1850, and their
factory now covers four acres of ground, and has
cost more than million dollars, and employs
over 700 operatives They produce $4,000 Wat
ches year, and make and sell not less than one
half of all the watches sold in the United States.
The difference between their manufacture and
the European, is briefly this 4: European watches
are made almost entirely by hand, and the result
is of necessity a lack of that uniformity which is
indispensable to correct time-keeping. Both the
eye and the hand of the most skilliul operative
must vary. But it is fact that, except watches
of the higher grades, European watches are the
product of the cheapest labor of Switzerland, and
the result is the worthless Ancres, Lepines and
so-called Patent Levers-which soon cost more III
attempted repairs, than their original price. Com
mon workmen, boys and women, buy the rough
separate parts of these watches from various fac
tories, polish and put them together, and take
them TO the nearest watch merchant, who stamps
and engrayes them with any name or brand that
may be ordered.
HOW AMERICAN WATCHES ARE MADE
The American Waltham Watch is made by no
such uncertain process-and by such ineom-
petent workmen. All the company's operations,
from the reception of the raw materials to the
completion of the Watch, are carried on under
roof, and under one skillful and competent
direction. But the great distinguishing feature
of their Watches, is the fact that their several
arts are all lnade by the nnest, the most perfect
and delicate machinerye ever brought to the aid
of human industry. Every one of the more than
hundred parts of every watch is made by ma
chine-that infallibly reproduces every succeeding
part with the most unyarying accuracy. 1t was
only necessary to make one perfect watch of one
particular style and then to adjust the hundred
machines necessary to reproduce every part of
that watch, and it follows that every succeeding
part must be like it.
The company respectfully submit their watches
on their merits only. They claim to make
A Better Article for the Money
by their improved mechanical processes than can
be made under the old fashioned handieraft sys-
tenn. They manufacture watches of every grade,
from good, low priced, and substantial article,
in solid silver hunting cases, to the finest chrome
meter; and also ladies' watches in plain gold or
