history. Several wholly new stem-wnding watches
have been produced, and great improvements have
been effected In the manufacture of al variety of
their standard watches, until now they include
be desred of every quality and every price, At the
same time new Inventions in machinery, and other
large economics, have cheapened the cost, so that
at present 1t is not too much to claim that the wal
than watches are the best and cheapest watches in
the worll, These claims are, In fact, almost every
where admitted. In this country it is matter of
fact that hardly any ne 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 aban lonlng the hand made productions OF
Switzerland aud England, and eagerly adopting
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 vel

is enormous, and continues with
out abatement. The Union Pa

ploy the passenger coaches Of con-
Meeting roads East to move the

arrive at Omaha, and sometimes
three emigrant trains are des-
patched daily. Three thousand
FIVE hundred of them were car
ried from Omaha during the first
seven days of this month. Eight
hundred were there on the 9th
inst, and we're to leave by special
trains that night. During the
month of March, California alone
received over 10000 of these set
tiers. This great travel is exclu-
sive of regular frst-class travel,
which is also proportionately large.
