American Watch
made at
WALTHAM, MASS.
The American Watch Company, of Waltham
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches are
cheaper, more accurate. less complex, more dura-
BILE, and better adapted for general use, and more
easily kept in order aud repaired than any other
witches in the4market. Theysaare simpler in
structure, and therefore stronger, and less likely
to be injured than the majority of foreign watch
es, which are composed of from l25 to 800 pieces,
while in an old English watch there are more than
700 parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches have, is shown by the following let
ter:
PENN. RAILROAD COMPANY.
OFFICE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
ga Altoona, Pa, 10 Dec, 1868
GENTLEMES-The watches manufactured by
you have been in use on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, TO whom furnish
watches rs part of our equipmen There
now three hundred OF them carried our
line, and We consider them good and reliable
time keepers. Indeed. | have great satisfaction
in saying your watches give less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without re-
pairs than any watches We have ever had III use
on this road. As you are aware, formerly
trusted TO those of English manufacture, of ac-
knowledged good reputation; cut ats a class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done
rs good service yours.
In these statements j sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over series OF years. Respectfully,
EDWARD Ii. WILLIAMS,
sFEs@ SO s. General Superintendent
American Watch Co., Waltham.
We make five different grades of watches,
named respectively as follows:
Appleton, Tracy & Co, Waltham, Mass.
Waltham Watch Company, WaltEaI, Mass.

VIM. Eliery, Boston, Mass.
Home Watch Company, Boston, Mass.
All of these, with The exception of the Home

the most approved principle, and to possess every
requisite for reliable time keeper. Every dealer
selling these watches is provided with the Com

DIVIDENDS,

From carefully prepared estimates, based upon
the amount of business done 10y the companies
now in operation, and giving them equal share
of the business between competing points, the
company confidently believe that large and re
munerative dividends can be made and they
further believe that taking into consideration the
great advantages which they will possess in n
short and direct route, they will be able to secure
nearly all the business along the line, which will
place the stock at a high premium, and make it
one OF the best investments TO Be found
WHEN rO BE DOM.
The company propose to commence work at an
early day, and to push it forward rs RAPIDLY as
possible, and intend to have their lines completed
without delay -
DiSTRIBUTIO OF DIRECTORS.
The stockholders will be represented by Direc-
tors at the principal points of the line.
THE PROSPECT
Is NEST n'ttering. The location of the line is
one OF the best IN the country. 1t passes through
a large numberof important cities and tow ms where
commercial intercourse is large and rapidly in
ereaslng. The country along the river is receiv-
ing constant accCssions Of wealth and population
and these viii bring an Increase OF trade which
must correspondlngly add largely every year to
the business and profits of the company. AlIthe
old telegraph companies throughout the country
are now, and have been, paying satisfactory div
ldends, on capital stock that has been repeated
eddy watered. If these companies controlled by
few wealthy individuals ownin nearly all the
stock, can do this, it is quite reasonable to SUBJ
pose that n company, owned and managed bv iIs
patrons, with its lines desirahly located, and
with limited amount OF stock, can at least do
equally as well. H5ta-

Flash Weddings.

The correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury writes from New York that the
month succeeding Easter Sunday, In which
we have now entered, will-be one of the
most e%xtravagant, especially in wedding
expenditures. lie says:
Anew York IL positively running wild
on weddings. The fashion papers announce
the approaching nuptlals of about n dozen
of the hlrest bellies of the city, and It Il
fair TO suppose that an equal number OF
swains will be made too happy to dwell
any longer on earth. Fashionable weddings
are now conducted on n scale of royal
magniilcence. An expenditure of ten
thousand dollars Oh q bridal outfit Is an
ordinary occurrence. From six to ten
bridesmaids are often seen following Il fliI
one to the altar, and they are sometimes
arrayed as magnihccntly ~ the bride her
self. One young lady who was married q
few days ago wore 4 veil that cost two
thousand dollars ia gold, and another
whose nuptials took place n short time be-
fore, wore Il point lace veil and n tiouncC
of the same material, which cost seven
thousand dollars. When matrlmony Is
commenced In this style it Is not difficult
