A Cat Taking To Water.

| was standin.s hy the banks of the
Thames at Ilalliford. waiting for nv
boat, which WAS being rot really BY the
boy, when the heal bHatman came up
to me. saying, "Did you ever see cat
swim before. sirp" and on my turning
round, saw large yellow and white
cat swimming abnut in u narrow strait
of water which divided an island 10
which the brats were mOOred from the
mainland, and apparently enjoying the
refreshing exercise. This cat. which
had often before noticed in the fish
punts and boats, found, on inquiry, is
in the habit Of swimming every morn
ing from the mainland to the island,
where it visits the Ishing-punts. pick
ing up any unfortunate fish who may
have made his scape ont of the well,
and searching for rats which abound on
the island; and he then commits him
self again to the water, and returns
home. The morning after | first saw
him swimming, | determined to try to
witness it again, and l arrived by the
water-side just in time to see him re-
turn from his morning hunt; he came
to the waters edge, and after having
dipped his front paws into the water,
he launched forth, his legs only being
immersed, while his whole body was
out of water, lis tail being erect in the
air like the mast of ship.

Where the Drums Come From.

Granville corners is situated about
two miles north of the Connecticut
line. A large mill stream runs through
the place "a branch of the Westield
river), furnishing number of privi-
leges, most of which are utilized.
Messrs. Noble & Cooley are by far the
largest manufacturers in the place.
They say that in December. 1858, they
first made drum in Mr.. NoLle's faith
er's kitchen, from board found in the
barn. steamed it with a tea-kettle, and
used two hogs bladders for the heads.
Next they made q dozen drums. and
sent them away in booI-box. They
now have a factory 110x40 feet, with
five floors. and use steam and water.
They have made and sold 70, 900 drums.
These were made of wood, lin, brass,
and nickel. They used for tile heads
of all these drums 10000 sheepskins,
which come from Liverpool, of the kind
known as sailed feshes. Let none of
your readers wonder where all the toy
drums are made hereafter. This firm
also made 400 gross Of toy pistols, 49,

MAKING WATCHES.

Defective Watch Cases are one of the
chief causes of so many watches not
being good time pieces. The cases be-
ing thin and not fitting we'll, admit
dust and dirt to the movement, which
soon interferes with the running parts
ofthe watch necessitating cleaning, re-
pairing, &c, and the amount thus paid
out if applied toward buying a good
case in the beginning, would have
ed all this trouble and expense. We
have recently seen case that meets
these requirements, it having been
carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS.
BOSS PATENT STIFFENED GOLD
CASE, which has become one of the
staple articles of the Jewellery trade,
possessing rs it does so many advanta-
ges over all other watch cases, being
made of two heavy plates ofsolid gold
over a plate of composition, and we
advise all our readers to ask their
Jeweler for a card or catalogue that
will explain the manner in which they
are made.
1t is the only SGffened Case made
with two plates of gold, seamless PEN
dants and center, sol joints, crown
pieces, &C, all of winch are covered by
letters patent. Therefore buy no case
before consulting Jeweler who keeps
the JAS. BOSS Patent Stiffened Gold
Case, that you may learn the difference
between it and all limitations that claim
to be equally as good.
For sale by all responsible Jewellers.
Ask to see the warrant that accom- pa
MES each case, and don't be persuaded
that any other make of case is as good
