The NJ eIish---BIoOd and Thunder.

The Memphis Acalanche contains the
following "bloody lie'--in the shape of
a dispatch from Brownsville:
One hundred militia arrived here
yesterday. After pressing all the hor-

where a squad of militia was fired into
a few days since. 1t is reported that
to-day they destroyed a store, then had
a fight with an armed body of citizens,
in which the militia lost fifteen killed.
This is not fully confirmed. Conside-
rable anxiety and excitement prevails
there. Business entirely suspended.

WEAK.-The Sacramento Reporter assumes
to correct our statements in regard to the
criminal record of Tehama county, and its
article upon the subject is about the weakest
and silliest composition we have ever beheld
in print. The writer attempts to justify
Lacy in shooting Swain by saying that the
former did not walk up behind the latter, but
boldly stepped up in front of him and shot
him dead, in the presence of several wit
nesses. This brave act of course challenges
the admiration of the chivalrous Reporter
man, and in his estimation exculpates Lacy
from the odium which most men attach to a
deliberate murder. The writer boasts of his
'friends' in Tehama county, and from the
manner in which he rushes to the defense of
those who have committed crimes, we can
readily determine what class constitutes his
friends

WALTHAM
w A TCH II =.

The extensive of these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers,
and Expressmen, the most exacting of watch
wearers has thoroughly demonstrated the strength,
steadness, durability and accuracy of the Waltham
Watch To satisfy that class in all these respects,
is to decide the question to the real value Of
these time kee ers.
More than 4OO,OO of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
people-a proof and guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at Waltham, enable them to
| produce Watches at price which renders compe-
ttion futile, and those who buy any other watch,
merely pay from % to 50 per cent. for their
watches than is necessary.
We are now selling Waltham Watches at less
prices in greenbacks, than the gold prices before
the war. There is other manufacture of any
kind in the United States of which this can be
said.
These time pieces combine every Improvement
that long experience has proved of real practical
use. Having had the refusal of nearly every in
venton in Matchmaking originating in this eoun-
try, in Europe, only those were finally adopted
which testing by the most skiful artisans in
our works, and long on the part of the public'
demonstrated to be essential to correct and endur
ing time-keeping.
Among the many improvements would par
ticularize:
The invention and use of centre -pinion of
peculiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakage of main springs, is original
with the American Watch Company, who, having
had the refusal of all other conrivances, adopted
Fogg's Patent pinion being the best and fault
less.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by Watchmakers to be the
best, are used in all grales of Waltham Watches.
All Watham Watches have dust-proof caps
protecting the movement DUST and lessenng
the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in
other watches.
Our patent stem-w -windcr, or keyless watch,
is already decided success and great improve
ment on any stem winding watch in the American
market and by far the cheapest watch of its quality
now offered to the public
To CALIFORNIANS and others living in
portions of the United States where watchmakers
do not abound watches with the above mentioned
improvements which tend to insure accuracy,
cleanliness, durability and convenience, must prove
invaluable.
Every watch bearing the trade mark of Waltham
is guaranteed to be thoroughly reliable time
keeper.
To prevent imposition, buyers should invariably
demand certificate of genuineness.
The trade supplied by Messrs. r. B. Gray & Co..

by all respectable dealers.

another column. This Company is the pio-

and has grown in the short space of fifteen

connection with another important fact
that their watches are now selling at less
prices in greenbacks than the gold prices
asked before the war-illustrates the great
success of the Company.

the perspiration may be checked; the feet may be

back upon the blood. Here is cause for pains
fevers, infammatons. In these cases Brandreth's
