prosy extracts which the General has cut

The Union Pacific Railroad
Open 425 Miles.

A few weeks since we noticed the open.
ios Of tbs Union Puvfnc haiiruua TO Jules,
burg, 377 miles west Of Omaha, and we
now have to report its completion to Grow
Creek, a point 4S miles further west, ma.
king a total of 425 miles. Fifty miles
of track in addition are graded ready for
the iron, and there is no doubt of the
completion Of the road to the base of the
Hockey Mountains early in the FALL
The Company are confident hat the
whole line will be open for business in
1870. The Indians have annoyed the
surveying parties and tie-cutters, who
are many hundred miles in advance of
the work ; but they have a wholesome
fear Of the population that a railroad car
ries with it, and all trains run without
interruption.
The business Of the Company has been
most fattering. The earnings for the
quarter ending August lst, were about
100000; but as the report for the last
week in July has not been received, the
exact fraction cannot be given. These
earnings accrued from operating an aver
age Of not mere than $50 miles of road,
and after deduCting operating expenses,
the balance is far in excess of the inter.
est obligations of the Company on the
amount Of bonds they can issue on that
distance. 1t should be remembered that
this result is from a ,oay business alone,
through a new country, and is not to he
compared with the vast through business
that must follow the opening Of the whole
line to the Pacific. The success of the
enterprise seems to be thoroughly assur-

A CARD R % THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY,
OF
WALTHAM, MASS.

This Company beg leave to inform the
public that they commenced operat pns in
1850, and their factory nJw covers four
acres of ground, and haS cost more than q
million dollars,and employs over 700 opef-
ti,es, They produce 10000 Watches o.
year, end make and sell not less than ono
half of all the watches sold in the United
States.
The difference between their manufacture
| and the European, is brify this. European
: Watches are made almost entirely by hand,
and the result is of necessity a lack Of that
uniformity, which is ipdi spensi BILE to cor
rect time. keeping. Both the eye and hand
ofthe most skillful hand must vary. But II
Is a fact Tint, except watches of the higher
grades, Europeans watches are the p oduot
Of the cheapest labor Of Switzerland, and
the result is the worthless Ancre', Lepines
and SO called Patent Levers-whi,h soon
cost more in attempted repairs, than their
original price. Common workmen, boys
women, buy the rough seperate parts Of
these waite he's from various ia etc ries, polish
and put them together. and lake them to tho
nearest watch merchant, who stamps and
engraves them with any name or brand that
may be ordered.

no such propess-and no such incompetent
workmen. All the Company's operations,
from the reception of the raw materials 10
the completion of the Watch, arc carried on
under one roof, aud under ono skillfpl and
competent direc. ion. But the great distin-
gushing feature of their Watches, 10. the
fact that their several parts are all made BY
the finest, the most perfect md delicate ma.
chinery ever brought to the aid of humanin.
dustry. Every one of the moro than q hun
doed parts Of every watch is made by q ma
ohine-that insrllibly reproduces every
succeeding part with the most unvarying az
curacy. 1t was only necessary to make one
perfect watch Of any particular style and
then adjust the hundred machines necessary
to reproduce every para Of that watch, and
II follows that every succeeding watch must
be like II. al5 rsaH
The Company respectfully submit their
watches on their merit only. They ciaimto
make
A Better Article for tho Money
by their improved mechanical proc esses
than can be made under the old fashioned
hvndicraft system. They manufacture watch
es of every grade, from o good, low priced,
and substantial article, in solid silver hunt,

indispensable requisite Of oil their watches
Is that they shallbe GOOD TIMEKEEPERS.

SILEsr IknnKSeE.-It is the bubbline
spring that flows gently, the little rivulet
which runs along day and night by the farm
house, that is useful rather than the swollen
flood or warning cataracts- Niagara excites
our wonder, and we stand amazed at the
power and greatness of God there. as he
'spours it from the hollow of his hand" But
one Niagara is enough for the continent or
the world, while the same world requires
thousands and tens of thousands OF silver
fountains and gently flowing rivulets that wa
ter every farm and meadow and every garden
and that shall flow on every day and night,
with their eeutie, quiet beauty. 80 with the
acts Of our lives. 1t is not by great deeds,
ike those of the martyrs, that good is to be
done-it is by the daily and quiet virtues of
life. the Christian temper, the good qualities
of relatives and friends and all, that 1t is to
be done. Albert Barnes.

An old document contains some intere5tins
information unknown TO many, and rarely
encountered in the newspapers. Among
ether things il contains table exhibiting al
average age attained by persons employed In
the various popular professions of the day.
In this particular, as 10 most others, farmers
haze the advantage over most of the rest OF
mankind, a. their average is sixty-hve. Next
upon the docket come the judges and justices
of the peace, the. dignity of whose lives IS
heightened out TO sixty-four. Following

their existence with as much pertinacity as
they retain their oliices-they never resign
their offices, but life forsakes them at hfty>
six. Coopers, although they seem to stsye
through lite, hang On until they are hity
eight. The good works Of the Clergyman
follow then at fifty FIVE. Shipwrights, hat
tiers, lawyers and ropemakers lsome very
appropriately GO together at kfty four. The
.village blacksmith like most of his CO.
temporaries, dies at fifty one. Butchers fol-
low their blood, career for precisely half q
century. Carpenters are brought to the
scaffold at forty nine. Masons realize the
