mechanical principles. If the watches good,
it is because the machinery is good. OF course
there must be no defect in the principle or plan

nothing wanting in their properties, and no error
in their positions. These points once thoroughly

Suspension in Troy.

Troy, n. Y, July 30.-The first note Of
the coming financial crash was heard here
to-day in the suspension Of the prominent
Wholesale grain house of Moore Il Covell
The liabilities are $4,000, while the as,
sets are said to be in condition to realize
but little. 1t is alleged that the firm have
been financially embarrassed for some lit.
tie time. The immediate necessity for O
suspension arose from the recent sudden
death Of the junior member, Mr.. Silas l.
Covell, who fell from a grain elevator
some days since. A very general regret
is expressed here at the suspension of 0
