OFFICE OF THE GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT,
ALTOONA, Pa, 18th Dec, 1866. :
GENTLEMEN The watches manufactured by
you have been in use on this Railroad for several
years by our engine men, to whom we furnish
watches as part of our equipment. There are
some Three Hundred Of them carried on our Line,
and we consider them Good and Reliable Iinae-keep
ers. Indeed, l have great satisfaction in saying
y0r Watches qige as less trouble, and have worn and
do wear much longer without repairs 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 acknowledged good
reputation, but, as class, they never keep time
as correctly, nor have they done as good service
as yours
In these statements 1 am sustained by my pre-
decessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extended
over series of years. Respectfully,
EDWARD II. WILLIAMS,
General Superintendent.

Wisdom In Mississippi.

In reading the late letter of Mr.. Albert
G. Brown, Of Mississippi, upon the poilu-
cal situation, it is impossible not 10 Won
der at the enormous cost OF every advance
in society. Mr.. Brown is an intelligent
man, and writes very calmly and reason
ably. Ne was conspicuous rebel, but ne
saws, "First let us have order and q rigid
enforcement of the laws to full extent OF
melting out equal and exact justice with
out stint to all men of all opinions, races,
and colors, and to this end let every good
man resolve to aid the civil and military
authorities by every fair means In his
power" He advises that there be no fac
tious opposition to General Grants .Ad-
ministration that the Fifteenth Amend
ment be accepted; that all good citizens
of the State pledge themselves to each
other, disregarding color and former po-
ltical opinions, to deal Justly by all men,
and TO secure perfect equality OF civil and
political rights to every one before the
law"
Were the indescribable horrors and woe
Of that long war, were Bull Run and Shi-
loh and Vicksburg and Fredericksburg
and Wagner and the WILDERNESS and An
dersonyille and, Salisbury and Belleisle,
all necessary TO teach an Intelligent
American that peace rests surely only up
on the perfect equality of civil and politi-
cal rights? The rebellion was fairly
beaten upon the battlefield" the question
has been settled by the last dread arbit-
rament;' but it will soon appear amazing
and incredible that there was any ques-
ton. Granting the right of revolution,
must it not be reasonably and honorably
exercised? Granting that Lee sincerely
thought that he ought to obey the sum-
mons of his State, could he honorably
obey it for an inhuman purpose? These
men dragged the country into indescribable
suffering and sorrow in order to perpetu-
ate the injustice which Mr.. Brown now
perceives should be banished from the
laws
{ ( We trust that his words will be as wise
ly needed as they are spoken and that,
the people of Mississippi will learn by ex-
perience that there can be no hostility be-
tween different parts of q country, each of
which is honestly bent upon securing
equality before the law.-Harpers Weekly.

The American Watch has some obvious ad-
vantages 1t is cheaper at first cost than foreign
competitors; it is simpler; it contains less than
half as many pieces, and every new piece involves
new liability to break; it is easier of repar; be-
sides the higher grades are warranted perpetually
against all mishaps arising from any defect or
weakness; and it bids fair to be more durable.
But how does 1t keep time? That, after ALL Is the
only question. Its success must be the best an
swer. The character of a watch is selfrevealng
This, on its intrinsic merits, had to fight the old
prejudice, trade combinations, established repu-
tatiOns. In ten years 1t has driven out of our
market the foreign watches which were our staple
Importation. After careful testing, it has been
adopted as the standard on the Pennsylvania Cen
tral, New York Central, and other leading rail-
ways. where correct time is an absolute necessity
The demand for it has steadily increased. At the
Waitham factory one may read its history. Here
wing, there another, beyond third, added year
by year to meet the growing want. The business
has grown so rapidly that now the company
manufacture $4,000 watches annually 1t turns
out complete watch every twO-and-a-half min
utes of the working day The single factory in
Massachusetts, under one roof and supervision,
produces more watches annually than all the
watch.makers of Old England combined. ''-New

After brief sojourn round about
the head waters OF that ceiebra-
ted river that uniucky politicians so
frequently visit, your correspondent
has returned, safe and sound, and
ready with enlarged experience, to
battle with those, who rob and plum
der the toiling masses of TIE just re-
wardof their honest labor. The re-
suit Of the late elections i'll Ohio and
Pennsylvania, have, however, demon
strated this fact, that either the toll
ing masses" are yet il state OF bliss
ful ignorance OF that which pertains 10
their interests, or, that they are tie
careless and willing dupes OF dishon-
est and INSCRIPTIONS men, who do
not hesitate to enrich themselves, at
the expense of other mems labor. In
either case, it becomes the du.y of all
Democrats, to work with ear
nest and persistent efforts for their
enlightenment, and the result will be,
that the Radical party, will find last
and final resting place where all the
salt of the earth would not suffice to
preserve its memory from being for
ever execrated by all honest men.
Old Winter with his snowy locks
has been here and paid us very un-
welcome visit, for he came all out of
season. "There is time for all
things said Solomon, but Winter in
October was entirely too premature,
for the fall crops arc not gathered. and
it will require week or two of fine
weather yet to'compIete the work of
the season. To-day the sun shines
again, and the snow, having nearly all
gone, the weather now has the well
come appearance of Spring.

In 1895, Lne managers OF the society
contracted debt upon its account Of
about $1,000, and in 1862, there were
outstanding obligations to the amount
of Sl400 (Which was drawing interest
at the rate of 10 per cent. per annum.
The officers have devoted their earn
est efforts to the extinguishing of that
debt, and have SO far succeeded that
on the first of January next the debt
outstanding against the Society will
amount to but $75. In addition to
this, during the last year $500 were
expended in constructing new fence
on the front part of the Fair Grounds
and the premium list has been increas-
ed from 1920 to $375. 1t is frequent
ly alleged by those not conversant
with the facts, that the financial affairs
of the Society have not been properly
managed, but we thiDk, in view Of
the foregoing exhibit all such charges
are manifestly groundless. When it
is considered that since 1862, the en-
tire receipts of the Society have been
but $4457, of which amount, nearly or
quite one-half has been paid out for
premiums, it is surprising how the Of
ticers have managed to meet the cnr-
rent expenses and liquidate an indebt-
edness of $1400, drawing interest at
10 per cent. It's also worthy of no te
here, that during the last few years
with receipts much less than in 1866
and Z, the premiums paid have been
as large, if not larger than them
1t has required pretty close finan-
cering to accomplish these results,
and we don't believe any 9TH
er set of men can be found who could
have made better record.
A meeting of the Board of Officers
of the Society will be held at the of
flee of William Goldman, Esq, i'll
Dodge's Block, next Tuesday after
noon, which, all those interested in
the future prosperity of the Society
are earnestly invited to attend. The
people of Rayenna are especially in
terested in this matter, and should not
fail 60 be present, as this meeting is to
determine whether or not the Society
will hold another Fair in this place.

Six inches of snow fell here last
Tuesday night, which pretty much
disappeared by Thursday. The late
cold snap, (which beats the oldest IN
habitant" froze all the apples not
gathered-and the greater part were
not gatherd-but probably no serious
injury was done, if the apples could
be gathered without further freezing.
Late peaches and grapes are ruined.
Probably, a good many potatoes have
been frozen in the ground, and unless
we can have long spell of favorable
weather, farmers will be unable TO
dig the crop, three-fourths of which
remains undug.

so long, have been used for ventilating
as well as for lighting the building,
have been put in good repair and re-
ligious services were held last g First

A large gang of workmen are taking
out the culvert under the r. R. bridge
at Jeddo, on the Erie Ry., in the south
part Of this township. The Mahoning
Co. originally was at great expense
in building bridge at this point, but
subsequently put in a culvert one
hundred feet long, under the bridge,
and nearly filled with dht the space
of about fifty feet between the bridge
and the cnlvert. The culVert, how
ever, in short time, was filled with
" flood-wood," and was useless. A
boom is to be put in above the new
culvert to catch the food-wood, if
possible. If the plan is successful, it
will save to the company considerable
expense. III.
