AMERICAN MANUFACTUREs-TH
ICAN WATCH COMPANY OF WALTHAM,
Mass. Our readers know that the best
| merchanism of the best manufactures of
this country is unsurpassed anywhere in
the world The genius of American in
ventors and mechanics produced the cot
ton gin, the mechanical reaper and NOW
crs the sewing machine, the best tele-
graphic instruments. and last but not
least, the wonderful machinery of the
American Watch Company of Waltham,
Mass, mechanism that takes hold of
the raw material-the brass and steel, and
gold, and precious stones, and under
competent direction turns out that daily
wonder and necessity perfect time
keeper.
Beginning in 1880 in very moderate
! way, but with the determination to make
none but thoroughly good watches, the
Company have continued to enlarge their
works from year to year, as they were
unable to supply the demand, until now
they manufacture about one half of all
the watches sold in the United 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 sew
eral of the railways of the country now
furnish them as a part Of their equip
ment: and while recommending other
lines to adopt the same precaution against
accidents, the editor of the Boston Rail
,ody Times remarks: I'VE have carried
one of these watches for the rast four
years, and although it has had to submit
to rough usage in camp life, horseback
riding, &c, we do not hesitate to say that
it is the best time keeper and less expen-
sive to keep in order than any watch we
ever carried. y The Company's success
has stimulated the manufacture and i'm
portation of many worthless counterfeits,
so that beyers should be careful to see
that they ,btain the genuine American
watch made at Waltham

FATAL RESULTS OF BATHING WHILE
WARM AND FATIGUED.-As we go to
press, says the Sheboygan Falls Record,
we learn from Mr.. Geo. L. Young of
Glenbeulah, that on Monday evening last
MIR. Bernhardt Bonaslli, an estimable
German citizen of that village, after a
hard day work in the hot sun, went to
battle in Dillingham; & Cos mill pond,
where lie was taken with the cramp and
drowned His body was recovered the
next morning. He was 80 years old, and
was the chief support of his aged parents
We also learn from the same source,
that Mr. William Miller, residing near
Jones Carding Mill, died last night from
the effects of bathing on Monday even
ing, while too warm
These fatal results should be warning
to ,lany in our village who are in the
habit of bathing when the system is
heated.

We have received the following COM
munication from Brillion. We are al
ways pleased to hear from surrounding
towns:
In the town of BrilGon Calumet Coun-
ty on the 18th of July died of convul-
sivc fit, Mrs Fuller, leaving behind a
husband with several young children to
lament their loss of an affectionate wife
and mother.
At the same place. on the 18th of Ju-
~, a young child of Mr.. Mills died sud-
denly from fall
In the town of Brillion Sabbath
School has been organized this Summer
by the lnstrumentality of Mr.. STEIN the
Sunday School Missionary in this State
Mr. Mills volunteered to be the Superin-
tendent, Mrs. Jones is active as a teacher
and Mrs. Forman is enchanting the chill
dren with her excellent performance in
singing. Many thanks. to Mr. STEIN for
the cheering visit of his to the much re-
.1ected Bnll,on, May the good seed sown
by him there bear much fruit.

= Mr. A. E. Goodrich informs us that
he proposes to run during the coming
winter one of his steamers to this port,
provided that the work on the harbor has
sufficiently advanced so that the boat will
be able to run into the river. This is a
most desirable project and of great i'm
portance to our citizens, especially the
business men. Every nerve should be
strained in pushing forward the work on
the harbor piers, and we understand that
with 3 reasonable amount of fair weather
the necessary work can be accomplished
Mr.. Smoke tells us that he is ready to 10
his share of the work, and we have y,
doubt but that Mr.. Schuette, who has
the contract for doing the dredging, will
also put forward a little extra exertion in
pushing ahead his part of the work.
Just think what an excellent arrange
1nent it would be to have boat two OF
three times a week during the entire
winter.

as it will be seen by an article published
IN another part of the paper, that large

BARGEs FROM LAKE MICHIGAN.-The
Detroit Post, of the 23d ult., saws:

BARGES FROM LAKE MICHIGAN.-The
Detroit Post of the 23d ult, says:
During the present season of naviga-
ton parties interested in the lumber traf-
fic have adopted the method which has
already been introduced here of transport
ing that commodity in barges, which have
been constructed either from the hulls of
condemned steamers or vessels which
have been placed out of commission. A
few of these barges, we learn, are to be
transferred to this locality, doubles for
the reason that the treighting facilities
are much better and easier or access.
The tug Goodenow arrived a few days
since at Saginaw with one of the above
barges which was of an entirely new CON
struction, called the Dartd Smoke. She
is now taken on her first cargo, and it is
said will cary large load. In conse-
quence of the barge Planet having re-
Gently changed ownership, she remains
on Lake Michigan.

We had occasion last week, to take
trip to Chicago, on one of Goodrich s
steamers-the Orioa-and were well
pleased with our voyage. The superior
accommodations. and gentlemanly set of
officers who have charge of the boats,
make the line favorite with the travel
ing public. Pleasure seekers can ask for
nothing better during these warm sum-
mer days, than trip on one of the boats
composing this line. Everything is done
for the comfort and pleasure of the ira
velers, and IN the future, music band
will accompany each boat between Mil
waukee and Chicago. See the time table

How TO Preserve A BoouEr.

How TO PRESERVE A BooUET.-
When you receive bouquet, sprinkle it
lightly with fresh water then put it in a
vessel containing soap-suds; This will
nutrify the stem and keep the flowers as
bright as new. Take the bouquet out CT
the suds every morning and lay it side
ways (the stock entering first into fresh
water, keep it there minute or two,
then take it out and sprinkle the flowers
lightly by the hand with water; replase
it in the soap-suds, and it will bloom as
fresh as when first gathered. The soap
suds need changing every three or four
days. BY Observing these rules bou-
quet may be kept bright and beautiful
for at least month, and will last still
longer in a very passable state, but at

CHARAcrER1sr1c.-It has often been

CHARACTERISTIC has often been
remarked in our presence that man of
responsibility cannot be found in this
place, who has not at one time or another
been subjected to the abuse and insult of
our detestable neighbor over the way.
Mr.. Fred 3crcherdt came in for his
share last week. Now, Mr.. B. requires
no defense from us; he is altogether too
wen known-and we may add, will be re-
spected and remembered for his many
virtues, while his yilli6er fills drunk
ards grave, to which of late he seems
rapidly Fastening. The name of Mr.. B.
was used as blino in the vain hope of
eliciting the name of the person who
wrote the article that has raised such a
stir. We care not what is generally be-
lieyed" there is not shadow of evidence
that Mr. Borcherdt wrote the article in
question, and we will go further and say
there is no one save the writer and our
selves who knows who the author of that
article is. And there is still another
point: calling man a lar does not
make him so.
The Nord- Westen also charges that Mr.
Borchert is the author of the communi-
cation in regard to the GRAND Jury, pub
lished in the TRIBUNE, and without en-
deavoring to prove that the charges are
without foundation, likewise makes a.
most abusive personal attack upon Mr..
B.
Now such talk is entirely out of place.
Our correspondent made some grave
charges, and if they are not true, why
don't they prove them to be SO. But it
is evident that screw is loose some
where, or else our contemporaries would
not resort to the low business of calling a
man liar and claim that it would be
useless waste of paper to defend our
"selves or anyone else against the attacks
" of this gentleman.
The attacks of our contemporaries upon
the TRIBUNE, are, as usual, without any
cause. The people have right to be
heard through the columns of paper on
matters which interest them, and the
paper which publishes the communica-
ton is not responsible for the contents.
We pay no attention to such abuse. 1t
hutrs no one, and proves some one is
defending a bad cause The TRIBUNE
makes no charges against any person
without proof to back it up. Ground
less attacks are below our Office. Our
contemporaries have sole possession of that
field and they are welcome to it.
However, our correspondent appears
to have hit the nail on the head, or else
our contemporaries would not resort to
personal attacks upon the supposed
writer, but would prove that the charges
are not true.
