A MYsTERY.-On Tuesday, the l4th, a
jew called at the United States express of
fee and asked for a good sized russell valise,
for Harris Lewis, which he said was sent to
him from Detroit, by his brother, and con-
tanned silks and shawls. Such an article
was there, and as he described it accurately
and had the key to it, Mr.. Lockwood, the
agent, delivered it to him, ON payment of the
charges. A few days after, DR.. Gregg was
passing over the bluffs, near Atkinson's S,
when he saw, near the road, in the woods
this same valise, with the Detroit green label
on it, and directed to Harris Lewis. The
top of the valise was smashed in, and it was
empty. The matter is mysterious. Was
the man who got the valise from the express
Office the man to whom it was sent ? If so
it would hardly seem probable that he would
destroy and throw away good valise. It
may have been stolen property, from Detroit
and he may have taken this mode of getting
rid of the valise containing it. Or, the man
may have been murdered, his property taken
from him and the valise left there by his as
sassins 1t is a mystery which ought to be
cleared up.

HATS AND THINGs.-We notice by the
Union, this morning, that its editor has had
hat presented him, but he says it is too
"scant." and he wants permission to send
it to the suffering freedmen also that he
wants the donor to send dray and take
away the box. We heard about that presen-
tation-it was one of Mack's best jokes.
By the way-speaking of hats, reminds us
that large assortment of them was sent to
our sanctum, this morning, by Mr.. E. H.
Smyth, with friendly note, ("not for publ
cation, )requesting us to take our choice We
selected the latest style, silk, tip-top article,
and we intend to pay for it by asking the
readers of the ARGUS to look at Mr.. Smyth' s
nice goods, before purchasing. He has ele-
giant cloths, of all styles, for coats, vests, or
pants, and tailor who will make nice fits

CARD FROM THE
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 10000 Wat
ches 4 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 European watches
are made almost entirely by hand, and the result
is of necessity lack of that uniformity which is
Indispensable to correct time-keeping. Both the
eve and the hand of the most skillful 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 Azores, Lepines and
so-called Patent Levers-which soon cost more In
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 engraves 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 no such incom
petent workmen-s All the companys 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 ali MADE by the nnest, the most perfect
and delicate machinery ever brought to the aid
of human industry. Every one OF the more than
a hundred parts of every watch is made by a ma
chine-that infallibly reproduces every succeeding
part with the most unvarying 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
the finest enameed and jeweled cases; but the in
dspensable requisite of aiivheir watches is that
| they shall be GOOD TMEKEEPERS. 1t should
be remembered that, except their single lowest
| grade named "Home Watch Company, Boston,
| ALL WATCHES made by them
ARE FULLY WARRANTED
by special certificate, and this warrantee Is gooo
| at all times against the company or Its agents.
