pnKsESr PROGRESS AND PAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The time for holding protracted meetings is
usually directly after the entering in Of the New
Year, and in accordance with the custom, pro-
tracted meetings are now being held in nearly all
our Methodist churches.
Grace il in its second week, and the meeting
i- growing III interest and solempity. The leo
ture room is nightly filed, and about a dozen
penitents are at the altar Six persons professed
conversion last evening, making thus far 2i The
meetings are not characterized by tho usual
demonstrations at the altar on such occasions,
but though quiet, the work seems to be equally
efiectual. Much of the interest, thus FAR, has
been among the young ladies of the Wesleyan
College.
At Asbury, the meeting which commenced in
December (suspended during the holidays) still
continues, with indication of drawing to a close.
About 40 persons professed conversion before
the holidays and 20 since, or 60 altogether.
At Union the meeting il now in it's third week
and the growing interest indicates work OF
considerable power The conversions, last
night, numbered 5, making 20 30 far.
AT Scott the meetings are well attended, and
have resulted thus far in or conversions.
At Madley, there are nightly five or six pen-
tents at the altar.
At St. Paul's meetings have been held nightly
for the past two weeks, but they have not result
ted, no far, in any conversions. The members
seem to be enjoying season of communion in
prayer and p raise with beneficial results.

the persons represented. Our correspondent at

W A L TIL A M.

The past twelve months at the WathRm Watch
Factory have been the busiest In the Company's
history. Several wholly new stem-winding watches
have been produced, and great improvements have
been effected In the manufacture OF all variety OF
their standard watches, until now they include
every size In both key and stem-winding, that can
be DESIRED of every quality and every price, At the
same time new Inventions In machinery, and other
large economies, have cheapened the cost, so that
at present is not too much to claim that the WAL
than Watches are the best and cheapest watches IN
the world. These claims are, in fact almost every
where admitted. In this country 1t is matter Of
fact that hardly any fine American watches are sold
but those of the waltham make, while orders are
now regularly received from England, Australia, and
the British Possessions generally, and foreign coun-
tries are abandoning the hand made productions of
switzerland and England, and eagerly adopting
American machine made waltham watches in their
place. 5. .....s rut t..r5-tf
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 frequently put cases which are infe-
rior both in quality of metal and workmanship.
