AMERICAN MANUFACTUREs-THE AMERICAN
WATCH COMPANY OF WALTHAA, MAss.-Our
readers know that the best mechanism Of the
bes manufactures of this country is unsur-
passed anywhere in the world. The genius of
American inventors and mechanics produced
the cotton-gin, the mechanical reaper and
mower, the sewing machine, the best tele-
graphic instruments, and last, but not least, the
wond erful machinery of the American Watch
Company of Waltham, Mass, a mechanism that
takes hold of the raw material-the brass and
steel, and gold, sud precious stones, and under
competent direction turns out that daily Won
der and necessity-a perfect time-keePer.
Beginning in 1850 in very moderate way,
but with the determination to make none but
thoroughly good watches, the Company have
cont inued to enlarge their works from year to
year, Gas they we're unable to supply the de-
mandy until now they manufacture about one
half OF all the Watches sold in the Unlted States
Their factory covers over three acres OF ground,
and as an illustration of its extent, we may
mention that it is supplied with over sixty
miles OF iron pipes. These watches have
proved so reliable that several Of the railways
OF the country now furnish them as q part OF
their equipment; and while recommending
other lines to adopt the same preCaution
against accidents, the editor Of the Boston Rail
way Times remarks: "We have carried one of
these watches for The past four years, and al
though it has had 10 submit to rough usage in
camp life, horseback riding, &C, we do not
hesitate to say tha it is the best time. keeper
and less expensive to keep in order than any
watch we ever carried" The Company's sue
cess has stimulated the manufacture and i'm
portatien of many worthless counterfeits, so
that buyers should be careful to see that they
obtain the genuine American watch made at
Waltham.

AccrDBNrs.-A serious and probably

ACCIDBNTs.-A serious and probably
fatal accident occurred az the new board
mill Of Welcome Allard, at the outlet Of
Ball mill pond, in Westmore, on
Monday last. Milo Smith of Sutton,
young man about twenty-one
years old, in trying to fit a new saw
to the old arbor, attempted to hold
the saw while some one started the
mill, to wear the eye Of the saw larger
that it might slip easier on the arbor.
But when the machinery started he was
Immediately overpowered, falling on the
saw and horribly mutllating one arm,
and cutting deep and large hole in his
side, which physicians think sufficient
to cause death.
On the 25th Of April, while Mr.. L.
o. Hoyt of Cabot was adjusting a belt
to drum in his shop, his left arm was
caught and drawn around the drum,
breaking both bones below the elbow,
and driving them out through the flesh.
Fortunately the drum was running at a
low speed, so that when his stomach
was drawn against it his weight stopped
the motion. There being two or three
men outside the shop, he was immedi-
ately relieved. DR.. Wallace set the
bones and he is now doing well.
