removing worms from cotton. He says:
The remedy used was unslacked ashes,

have to be applied after every rain, and, it
may be, oftener. Most of my neighhors will
try the experiment. We are sanguine ofsuc-

The American Watch Company, of Waltlam,

d cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more
lrable, better adapted for general use, and
orc easily kept in order and repaired than any
her watches in the market. They are simpler

atches, which are composed of from 125 to 500
,eces. while in an old English watch there are
ore than 700 parts. How they run under the

Gentlemen The watches manufactured by you
i've been in use on this railroad for several

saving your watches give us less trouble, and
I'VE worn and do wear much longer without

sgood service, as yours. l
In these statements l am sustained by my pre-
acessoi, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
yer a series of years,
Respectfully,
EDWARD II. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent

We make now five different grades of watches,
named respectively as follows: a..

VIM. Ellery, Boston. Mass.
Home Watch Co., Boston, Mass.
AL of these, with the exception OF the Home

Watch Company to be the best material, on the
most approval principle, and to possess every
requisite for a reliable time Keeper. Every deal
or selling these Watches is provided with the
Compary's printed card of guarantee, which
should accompany each watch sold, so that buy
ers may feel sure that they are purchasing tie
genuine article. There are numerous counter
feits and limitations of our Watches sold through
out the country, and We would caution purcha-
sers to be on their guard against imposition.

Street Crossings.

Street Crossings.
The much needed improvement on our
public streets in the construction of stone
crossings has at last taken definite shape.
Several Of these crossings have been fin-
ished, and are decided improvement
The last one constructed is that across
Main street, from Bell & Dieffenbacher
TO Duffy's Store The location is per.
haps all right, but the construction is al
most universally believed to be wrong
This is undoubtedly the case if the street
is to remain as at present. The crossing
is entirely too high, or the street is too
low. If the street is not filed up, the
crossing will prove to be an obstruction
on the public highway, aud therefore a
public nuisance.
Who are the responsible parties in the
construction of this crossing? Rumor
says that the masons employed overruled
their employer, and constructed the Job
to suit themselves.
There were certainly enough inequali-
ties in our Main street without increas-
ing their number. Whoever has the au
thority in the premises, should see that
whatever work is necessary.:on our streets,
is dnoe in such manner as to be of some
practical use.
