Proofs Of the Superior Quality
of the
American Watch
made at
WALYHAA6, MASS.

The American Watch Company, of Waltham,
Mass, respectfully submit that their Watches are
cheaper, more accurate, less complex, more durs-
Bile, and better adapted for general use, and more
easily kept in order and repaired than any other
watches in the market They simpler in
structure, and therefore stronger, and less likely
to be injured than the majority of foreign watch
es, which are composed of from 125 to 800 pieces,
while in an oldEnghsh watch there are more than
70o parts. How they run under the hardest trial
watches can have, is shown by the following let
ter:
PENN. RAILROAD COMPANY.
OFFICE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
Altoona, Pa, Is Dec, 1856. /
GENTLEMEN-The watches manufactured by
you have been in use on this railroad for several
years by our enginemen, to whom we furnish
watches part of our 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 less trouble, and
have worn and do wear much longer without
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-
knowledged good reputation hut as a class they
never keep time as correctly, nor have they done
as good service as yours.
In these statements I am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over series of years. Respectfully,
EDWARD II. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent.
American Watch Co., Waltham.
We make now FIVE different grades of watches,
named respectively as follows;
Appleton, Tracy & Co., Naitham, Mass.
Waltham Watch Company, Waltham, Mass
p S Bartlett. Waltham, Mass
VIM. Ellerv. Boston, Mass.
Home Watch Company, Boston, Mass.
All of these, with the exception OF the Home
Watch Company, are warranted by the American
Watch Company to be of the best material, on
the most approved principle, and to possess every
requisite for reliable time-keeper. Every dealer
seiling these watches is provided with the Com
pany's printed card of guarantee, which should
accompany each watch sold, so that buyers may
feel that they are purchasing the genuine ar
ticle. There are numerous counterfeits and imi-
tations of our watches sold throughout the coun-
try, aud we would caution purchasers to be on
their guard against imposition. 's.a3 .asE-g
Any grades Of Watham Watches may be pur-
chased Of watch dealers throughout the country.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder of a new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paraly ne the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
serofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless sslve.
DIR. MaggePs Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating ayalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples throats. One of Maggiefs Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in
space Of time short enough to be almost classed

In fact Maggiel's Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for

twenty years, has proved itself a sover-
eign remedy for all diseases of the Skin;
having effected a radical cure in every

obstinate cases of fifteen or twenty years
standing, that had previously resisted all
remedies prescribed by the best medical
talent of the country. Its effect is aston
ishing. in a few days the soreness and
irritation is removed the skin becomes
smooth and healthy, and remains perm
anently healed, without the use of any
other remedy,
Thus, letter, Salt Rheum, Itch, Sol
diers' Itch, Erysipelas, Blotehes, Pim-
piles, and every form of disease of the
skin is punctually cured, no matter of
how long standing. 1t has cured bad
cases of Inf amed Eyelids, and Disebar
ges from the Ear, when nothing else
would heal them. Piles, that have
sisted all other treatment for many
years, have been effectually cured by the
use of only one box of this Ointment.
Burns, Scalds, and Old Sores, it heals in
very short time. Price 80 cents per
: box. If not sold by your Druggist,

Hon. Ben Wade, of Ohio, who is now President
Of the Senate Of the United States in q speech

following language in relation to the qualifications
of Irishmen, with other foreigners and negroes, to
vote properly upon the great questions Of the day
Comments upon such assertions are unnecessary:
sIf you will take the poor Irishman, or other
foreigners who come here and know nothing of our
institutions; if you will permit him to vote after
Eve years residence, then insist upon the same
right for the other class of persons (the negroes)

The National I,telEgcncer in speaking of the late
amnesty proclamation of the President, says:
.During the deliberations of the Cabinet, yes
terday. it is understood that it became evident
that, in the opinion of every member present, the
legal effect of the contemplated amnesty procla-
nation would be to relieve all persons included
within its terms from all disqualification, as well
as oil penalties incurred by their completely in the
late rebellion, and of course ESQ far as the action
of the General Government is concerned frem
disability to the exercise of the right Of suffrage
We may, therefore, congratulate the country upon
the prospect of speedy settlement of NIL our diff
culties upon principles conformahle to the Const-
tuition, and in harmony with our republican. form
Of Government That such will be its effect, no
sound lawyer entertains doubt, nor is it to be
presumed that it willb seriously denied by my
considerable. number of respectable men of the
radical party in or out of Congress"
It will be remembered that the only condition
prescribed, precedent to enjoying the benefits of
this proclamation is that those for whose benefit 1t
was issued, should subscribe to the oath contained
in the proclamation itself. 1fthe view Of the No
t;onal Intezgencer be correct, then oil persons TO
whom the provisions OF this amnesty extend are
enf,anch.sed and have the rightto vote at all fu-
