GENTLEMEN:-The watches manufactured by

some Three Hundred Of them carried on our Line,

your Watches 0tUe US less trouble and hayo 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

Der OF persons, made a thorough examination of
the plan OF construction adopted by your Com.

remarkable " any single watch made on this plan
should fail to be an accurately performing time

Watches do SO. Very respectfully,

The Crops i'm England.

Mr.. J. J. Mechi, the famous Eng
lish agriculturist and owner of the
| Tiptree Hall estate, where every new
agricultural project is tried, and every
agricultural implement is expert
mented with, writes as follows to the
London Times under date of June
2Sth, in reference to the harvest in
| England:
Last year there was ruinous de-
ticiency of Matchmaking products.
The twenty two and n half million
acres of permanent pasture zone. half
the agricultural area of the United
Kingdom slded a wretchedly def
cient crop, and heavy national loss,
while nearly ten million acres of
root and green crops and artificial
grasses fell sadly short of an average
crop. Hence our small supply and
high price of homegrown meat.
The large area of cottage and.general
garden was also very deficient in
yield. This year all this is reversed,
and we are blessed with promise of
abundant grass and other vegetable
products, which must have happy
influence OH the quantity and price
of homegrown meat, milk, butter,
cheese and vegetables. Surprising
that we lose trifle on our wheat
area-between three and four million
acres-great will I've our gain on the
forty inillion acres of other products.
1t is stated that the harvest will COM
mence in the early districts about
August lst, and will become general
towards August 10th.

Eric Railroad DIsastcr.


Froli tho New York Herald
The lamentablc consequences which
resulted from the late disaster on the
Erie Railroad were investigated be-
fore cOroner's jury yesterday, the
inquisitiOn necessarily taking tcsti-
mOny rs to the causes which prOduc-
ed the collision. It was found that
the engineer Of the freight train is
wholly and entirely to blame in the
matter. Either from fatigue, or
some other reason not perhaps eX-
planned, this man went to sleep at the
point ofswitch of. Suddenly reused
but not thoroughly awake, he
thought that the express train had
passed and ran his engine on the
main track, when deaf h was imme-
diately on his passengers. Anticipa-
ting the consequences of the sad ca
tastrophe he fled from the scene: but
has been arrested i'm Buffalo. On his
being made amenable the old question
rev erts-What Is to be done? The
man had no intent to murder and
the dead cannot be restored to life.
The company is legally answerable
for the acts or omissions of its SER
wants: and legal penalties, in the shape
of money damages, make the only
form i'll which present punishment
can be effecte. Our whole system re-
lative to railroads, locomotives and
by horse car in cities requires an i'm
partial overhaulIng and revision.
Let the companies bear the cost.
