WALTHAM
w a ATCHE -

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 as to the real value Of
these time keepers.
More than 100 900 of these watches are
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the
peope-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-
tition futile, and those who buy any other watch,
merely pay from 25 to 80 per cent more 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 no other manufacture of any
kind in the United States of which this can be
said.
These t'me-pieces combine every improvement
that long experience has proved of real practical
use. Having had the refusal of nearly every in
vention in Matchmaking originating in this coun-
try, or in Europe, only those were finally adopted
which testing by the skilful artisans in
our works. and long the part of the public
demonstrated to be essential to correct and endur-
ing time keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par
ticularize
The invention and use of a 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 contrivances adopted
Fogg's Patent pinion as being the best and fault
less.
Hardened and tempered hair springs, now
universally admitted by Watchmakers to be the
best, are used in all grades of waltham Watches.
All Watham Watches have dust-proof CAPS
protecting the movement srom dust and les seninr
the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in
other watches.
Our new patent stem -winder, OF keyless watch,
is already a.decided success and great improve
ment on any winding watch in the American
market and by far the cheapest watch of its quality
now offered to the public.
To CAHIFuRNIANS 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

The Red Rock Howal TRAGEDY.


While L was snow bound in Monroe |
gathered all the information to be had in
regard to that horrible murder which
occurred near Red Rock few DAYS ago.
Ii seems that Shafer had made up his
mind some time ago that his wife must die,
as she would not live with him. and he loved
her SO dearly he could not see her live with
others; and he says he could think of
nothing short of death to her and himself
also. lie says in his confession that after
having some words with his wife in the
slttlng-room, she got up and started for a
bedroom that stood on the west side he
started after her, when his mother-in-law
lnterfered that he took up chair and
struck her (his mother-in- law on the head,
knocking her down. He then told her to
leave the house or he would kill her too-
lie then went into the bedroom where his
wife was, and when she saw him coming in
she ran out, when he caught her around
the waist with his left arm, and putting the
revolver close to the back of her head he
fired, killing her instantly He then laid
down by her side, and putting the pistol
to his head snapped all the caps on the
remaining barrels, but none would explode,
Throwing the revolver away he took
knife he had provided himself with and
endeavored to cut his throat. He made
deep and ugly wound, cutting the wind
pipe hall OF and many small arteries, but
his cutting was all done directly under
the chin; he did not reach the main jugu-
lar. When his windpipe was cut his
breathing became difficult, and at times as
the blood from small veins ran in strangula-
ton ensued; so, according to his own
feelings, he imagined death would soon
release his sufferings. One of his little
children, but few years old, who had been
running and crying all round the house,
came and laid down between them, where
1t was found by the persons who first
reached the house. Such a scene the
poor innocent child-heart broken, scared
lying between father and mother-the
mother dead and the father gasping the
last breath that linked him to the world ;
only step to eternity. The author of all
this sorrow and wickedness is still alive
He eonverses freely; says he is not sorry
for what he has done, and only regrets that
he did not succeed in putting an end to
himself also He says his wife was a good
woman, one of the dearest and loveliest in
alfthe world, and that she has gone straight
to Heaven, and if he had only died with
her he would have gone there too. He
had no intention Of killing or hurting any
one but himself and wife.-Des Monies

Gen. Sherman at West Point.
EXCELLENT ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

EXCELLENT ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.
General Sherman made a very signifi-
cant address to the graduates at West
Point. He told them that to be good
offers they must be good men, and above
all, must love their country and their pro-
fession with an ardor in comparison with
which every other feeling will pale as the
rushlight in the sun. Some practical and
useful end must also be kept in view. Sci
ence may test to pound the strain
upon every cord and brace and rod in the
most complicated structure, or it may sep
arate the component parts of every mine
raj, but it cannot penetrate the hearts of
men, The soldier in the ranks is not a
block of wood or a mere unit, he is man
full of feeling and passion, varying, IN
size and strength and all the attributes OF
manhood, as one man varies from another.
So bodies of men vary still more, while
certain characteristics pervade them all. The
only school where war and it's kindred sci
ences can be learned is in the camp, in the
field, on the plains, in the mountains, or
the regular forts where the army is. Y on
must understand men, without which your
past knowledge were vain. You must
come into absolute contact with soldiers,
partake of their food and their labors,
share their vicissitudes, study their habits,
impress yourself on them and be impress
sed by them, until they realize that you
not only possess more book knowledge
than they, but that you equal, if not sur
pass, them in all the qualities of manhood
in riding, in swimming, in enduring the
march and biyouac, in the sagacity of the
true backwoodsman and hunter; and
what is most important of all, you must
acquire that great art Of human control
by which masses of men are led to deeds
Of infinite courage and heroism.n

HALLEcK AND GRANT, General Hal
leck hes issued his farewell order on leav-
ing the command ofthe Military Division
Of the Pacific. He must have been some
what "put out "by the order returning
him to this side Of the Mississippi. He has
very large business interests on the Paci-
fc slope to look after, which made his
station at San Francisco profitable as well
pleasant. He must be worth over half a
million, mostly made in real estate opera
tions. We presume that he would be glad
now if he had treated Grant little bet
ter when the latter was under cloud and
Halleck was the great Mogul Of the West
ern army. Halleck suspended Grant no
less than three times within six months
in 1862, and when he was summoned to
take command of the army, tried to avoid
leaving Grant in command of the West
ern army by offering it to Gen. Robert Al
len, Quarter-master. These little anne
mites probably form pleasant topics of
reflection for Halleck just now Er-
change. #
