SPECIAL NOTICES.

The American Watch Company, of Walthum.
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches
are cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more
durable, better adapted for general USE and
more easily kept in order and repaired than any
other watches inthc market. They are simpler
in structure, and therefore stronger, and less
likely to be injured than the majority of foreign
watches, which are composed of from 125 to 500
pieces. while in an old English watch there are
more than 700 parts. How they run under the
hardest trial watches can have, is shown by the
following letter:
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD COMPANY.
i~4i OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
-l.r-r- .- ALTOONA, Pa, Is Dec, 1866,
Geaattenaen The watches manufactured by you
have been in use on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches as part Of our equirment There are
now some three hundred of tn m carried OF, orr

time keeper. Indeed, 1 have great satisfaction
in saving your watches give us less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches VIC have ever had in use
on this road As you aware, we formerly
trusted in those of English manufacture, of ac-
knowledged good reputation; but US class they
never kept time as correctly, nor have they done
as good SERVICE as yours.
In these statements am sustained by INV pre-
decessol, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over a series of years, fk
Respectfully,
EDWARD Fl. WILLIAMS,

chased of Watch Dealers throughout the country.

A handsome miss, leaning upon the
arm of a son of ex-Mayor Gunther,
wore lace dress, the skirt pulled,
and corded with blue satin. A blue
satin waist, and peplum cut in long
points, or streamers, gave the costume
a jaunty appearance. The body of
the lace underskirt was spotted with
small bows Of narrow blue ribbon.
Miss $780, of West Thirty-sixth

dress, with trail. The skirt was trim

white lace. Her hair was powdered
white, and her face looked very pale

tight coat sleeve. H.f if amag
A young lady with Mr.. John Hoey,
Jr., was dressed in white satin, the
bottom of the skirt being trimmed
with two rows of swan s-down. It
was plain but beautiful dress. The
lady had remarkably small waist,
which was the admiration of all who
like to see small and graceful forms.

long tulle ends foated. The dress

double-sixes, the tray the deuce"

about the bottom of the skirt in ad-
mirable. confusion. Miss wore
rose-colored silk dress, made plain;
her hair was crimped, and flowed
from the head to the waist. Very
few chignons were to be seen at the

A Story OF Turkey River, Iowa.

On Turkey river lived Amasa Bark.
or, a worthy itinerant minister of the
Methodist, Church. Besides being a
fisher of men be was q fisher of fish,
and also delighted in the pleasures of
the chase, To him one fine Saturday
night came another son of Nimrod
Jack Waters. Jack woke up the
minister by calling to him from the
outside. The parson put his head out
of the door and recognized his friend
at once. .a
Mr. Barker" says Jack, "fine night
for coon hdnting. Can you come
out and have shot?"
A muf1ed protest in feminine voice
was family heard inside the house
but the good minister was too ardent
a hunter to yield even to petticoat
Influence. "A moment later he appear
ed at the door in hunting trim, and
the two, men started off although the
protest was repeated. more atrehuous-
ly, accompanied by the apparition at
a window of q head incased with a ruff
fed night cap. Spite of the fine night,
however, J., and the skill of the two
hunters, luck was against them, and
several hours had passed before they
met with anything worth taking home.
AAt last the parson deserted fine coon
in q tree, Being q sprightly parson
and an agile, he climbed up after the
animal,. following it to quite a hight.
At last,j getting good chance, he
levelled his gun.
",Why don't you fre?" hoarsely
whispered Jack, after waiting several
minutes during which the parson re-
mained ,sudently transfxed neglect
ing TO pull the trigger ..
81 say, Mr.. Waters" he replied,
"what time is it?" Remember this is
Saturday night. ... ...
No it, isn't" says Jack, looking at
his watch, otis Sunday morning.
Just five minutes past twelve. Now,
fire quick you won't have such a
chance again" .a ..
r.""No, nos replies the minister, Hit
won't do, Mr.. Waters. Too late now
we must come another time" q
"But just give the coon q crack," ("
urged Jack. 49, g.. '.i.,.-
"Can't do it," said the minister,
slowly descending. "ReCollect what
the commandment says !: Remember
the, Sabbath day to keep IL holy-coon
or no COON" s. o. iI..l..t
So the virtuous Sabbatarians went
home. --
