T'HE NEW
W A L T II A M

The past twelve months at the waltham Watch |
Factory have been the busiest in the Companys |
history. Seseral wholly new stem-winding watches
have en- produced, and great improvements nave
been effected in the manufacture of al variety oil
their standard Watches until now they include
every size in both key and stcm-wndlng, that can
be desired, of every quality and every price, At the
same time new inventions in machinery, and other
large economies, have cheaDened the cost, 80 tnal
at present 1t is not too much to claim that the wal
than Watches are the best and cheapest watches IN
the worli. These claims are in fact, almost every
where admitted. In til country it is matter OF
fact that hardly any fine American watches,are SOLO
but those OF the waltham make, while orders are
now regularly received from England, Austraa,and
the British Possessions generally and foreign coun
tries are aban Joining the hand made productions OF
Switzerland and England, and eagerly a-optng
American machine made waltham watches in their
place.
BUYERS Of silver watches should be careful to OBJ
serve the stamp of the Company on the case,as wei
as sn the movement, as the waltham Watch move
ments are frequently put into cases which are infe-
rior both in quality of metal and workmanship

VALUE OF THE CROP TO THE PENINSULA.
The peach season of 1874 closed about the
frat of October, and the shipments by the car
load ceased on the 3rd Of that month. The sea-
son WAS very little shorter than usual, it begin
ming about as early and continuing about as late,
but the daily shipments were much below the
average Of the several preceding years and the
aggregate of the crop was considerably lesseued
thereby The bulk of the crop was moved TO
market by rail, the region OF growth being most
" confined to small area lying on both sides oil
the Delaware II. r and extending about twenty
or thirty miles with it's length. Only limited
quantity OF peaches for market was grown along
the BAYS and numerous water courses OF the Pc
uinsula aud the shipments from some OF them
were very meagre indeed. .

ATTACKING AN EDITOR
An Actress Attempts to whip Dra-
matte Critic, but Fails.

RcCB ESTER, N. Y, Nov. a.
Late last night Mrs. Harry Ray
nor, second lady in the opera
house company, accompanied by
her son, entered the Democrat and
Chronicle editorial room and
waited for the coming of the dra-
matte critic, Adams. When he
came she asked if he wrote the
criticism Of her actingas Elizabeth
{, the effect that ''her queenly car
riage was Jar from perfect. and her
int1nation and expression very
poo"," He said he wrote the ar
ticle, when she drew a small rid
ing whip and struck at him. The
first blow glanced from his arm,
when Mr. A. as seized the whip,
and, taking it from her, ordered
her and her SON out of the room.
The latter threatened to use q
knife, but he was walked out by
the shoulders, and the mother and
son disappeared together.

If, sitting with his little worn out shoe,
Aud scarlet stockings lying on my
knee,
knew The little feet had battered
through
The pear.y gases that lie twixt heaven
and me,
couo be reconciled and happy, too,
And look with glad eyes toward The
jaspar sea.
If, in the molping, when The song Of
birds
Reminds me of music far more
sweet;
listen for his pretty, broken words,
And for the music of his dimpled
feet
would be almost happy, though
heard
No answer, and saw only his vacant
seat.
III could know the little feet were
shod
In sandals wrought Of light, Of better
lands,
7 ID chat the footprints OF tender
God
Ran side by side with his IN golden
sands,
could bow cheerfully and kiss the
Sine, Benny was in wiser, better
hands.
II he were dead, would not sit to-day
Aud stain with tears the wee sock on
my knee.
| would not kiss the tiny shoe and say:
Bring back my little ones to me"
And would be patient, knowing twas

But, 0 to know the feet once pure aod

The haunts of vice had boldly enter

The hands hat should have battled for

Had been wrung crimson in the clasp
Of sin;
And should he knock at heavens gate

To fear my boy would hardly enter
in
