GENrLEMEN-The watches manufactured by
you have been in use on this railroad for several
years by our enginomen, to whom we furnish
watches as part of equipment. There are
now some three hundred of them carried on our
line, and we consider them good and reliable
time keepers. Indeed, have great satisfaction
in saying your watches give us less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches we have ever had in use
on this road. As you are aware, we formerly
trusted TO those OF English manufacture, Of ac
knowedged good reputation; but as class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done
as good service as yours.

decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended

We copy the above from the Southern
Churchman: Although the grand jury quashed
the indictment in Mr. Williams case, he has
been forced to the conclusion that his ustlnl-
ness is at an end and hence his request to be
deposed from the ministry. While all will rc-
greet the sad necessity which has terminated in
such result, we believe none will doubt the
propriety of such action.
