A REMARKABLE VIRGINIA DWARF. One
of the most remarkable and interesting freaks
of nature to which our experience has yet in-i
troduced us, we met with yesterday in the
person of Colonel Josephus Chaffin, Of Bed
ford county. This parsonage is some forty
two years of age, has all the usual features
and outlines Of manhood, converses with viz.
vacity and intelligence, is twentyseyen inches
high, and weighs btween twenty-five. and
thirty pounds. We learn from Mr. Adams.
an uncle of this little prodigy, that many
years ago he was exhibited in all the cities
of the North and South, and excited then
much interest and wonder Since that period
he has been living in obscar,ty at his
home in Bedford county, and only came to
town yesterday on business quite unconnect-

REASONS WY THE
/, sAAiERIGAN } WATCH
MADE AT wALTHAM, MASS.
rs TTiE BEST.

IS THE BEST
Il ls made on the best principle. It's frame Is
composed ofsOLID PLATES, no jAr can inter.
fere with the harmony Of Its working and no sud
den shock rem sdnmsge its machinery. Every
piece Is made and finished by machinery Gtsef
famous for its novelty as wen as fof its effective
nesS) aud Is therefore properly made The watch
Is what all mechanism should be-ACCURATE,
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Ex-
cept some high grades, too costly for general use
foreign watches are chiefly made BY womenjahd
boys. Such watches are composed Of several
hundred pieces, screwed and riyeted together, and
require constant repairs 10 keep them In any kind
Of order. All persons who have carried 'ancres"
'1splnes" and English Patent Levers, are per.
feetly well aware Of the truth Of this statement.
At the beginning Of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, It was our first object TO make a
thoroughly good low priced watch for themlll-
Ion, TO take the place Of these foreign Impostlons
the refuse Of foreign factories, which we're entire
ly unsaleable at home and perfectly worthless
everywhere ..-, 80. 49,.
How wellwe have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that after 50 many years
ofpubllc trial, we now make MORE THANHALF
OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNI
TED STATES, and thar no othefs hayeever given
such universal satisfaction. While this depart
ment Of our business is continued with Increased
facilities for perfect work, we are at present en-
gagged In the manufacture Of watches Of the very
HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO CHR0NoME-
TRY, unequaled by anything hitherto made by
ourselves, and unsurpassed by anything made in
the world. For this purpose we have the amplest
facilities. We, have erected an addition TO our
main building expressly for this branch of our
business and have filled itwith the best workmen
In our 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, and we challenge comparison between this
grade of our work and the finest imported chro-
nometers. WedO not pretend to sell our watches
for less money than foreign watches but we do as
sert without fear Of contradiction that for the
same money our product is incomparably superior.
All Tour watches, Of whatever grade, are fully war
ranted, and this warrantee is good at all times
against us our agents IN oil parts of the world.
| CAUTI0N.--The public are cautioned to buy
only of respectable dealers, All persons selling
counterfeits will be prosecuted.
