WALTHAM
WATCHES,

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 beside the question to the real value Of these
time keepers.
More than 100000 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets Of the peo
plea proof and guarantee of their superiority
over all others
The superior organization and great extent of
the Company's Works at Waltham, enables them
to produce watches at price which renders com
petition futile, and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from 25 to 50 per cent. more for their
watches than is necessary
The time pieces combine every improvement that
long experience has proved of real practical use
Having had the refusal of nearly every invention
to matchmaking originating in this country or in
Europe only those were finally adopted which Sc
we're testing by the most skillfull artisans in our
works, and long on the part OF the public, dem
onstrated to be essential to correct and enduring
me-keeping.
Among the many improvements would par
tcularize:
The invention and tse of centre pinion of pecu
liar construction to prevent damage to the train by
the breakage OF main-s Prings, is original with the
American Watch Company, who having had the
reSfual of all other contrivanees adopted Fogg's
patent pInion as being the best and faultless.
Hardened and tempered har->prIngs, uni
versally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best
are used in all grades Of Waltham Watches,
Al Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, pro.
tecting the movement from dnst, and lessening the
necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in
other watches.
Oar new patent stem.w Under keyles7 watch
Is already decided success, and great improve
on any stem-winding watch in the American mar
kct, and by far the cheapest watch of its quality
now offered 10 the public. To those living in por-
tons of the United States where watehmakers do
not abound watches with the above mentioned i'm
proyements which tend TO insure accuracy elean-
illness, durability and convenience, must prove in
valuable.

tional government, and that bureau of lcvees
be created in the war department, under the
charge Of competent engineers to attend spe-
cialN to the matter

fined TO the care of the hospital in Washington

thousand were paid during the year for colored
bounties and claims, leaving balance of S7S4
900. Gen. Howard recommends the 420 persons
IN the hospital to be provided for hv an apprO-
priation, and that the hospital be placed in the
care Of the district government. He concluded
by recommending the payment Of bOuuties and
other monies due COlored soldiers to be transfer

the ireedmen's bureau be closed, and its records
turned over to the secretary Of war on the LIST Of
