The District Reform school.

The regular monthly meeting of the board
of trustees Of this institution was held last
evening at the school, a majority of the board
being present. 1t was found that all branches
of school work were in the most encouraging
state. The prospects of farm produce were
never better, tho largest crops, both of fruit
vegetables, hay and grain being expected.
The work in the shops continues undimin-
ished, and the receipts therofrom are larger
than ever before known. The recent
cases of typhoid fever have drawn the
attention of the board to tho necessity
of improvements about the buildings which
have been undertaken, and whom completed
it is hoped will free tho school from the
causes of disease. No new cases have been
reported lately. The thorough and prompt
action of the board, with the aid and advice
of tho most skillful physicians, has resulted
in averting danger of further cases. The new
barn now being constructed by Mr..
Motley Anderson, under contract, prom
ises to be one of the best-arranged
and best built barns in the district, filling a
want long felt by the school. A number OF
boys will, on the recommendation Of Supt.
Shellenbarger, be discharged, having won the
honor. Under the management Of Col. Shell
lenbarger the school has prospered in every
way, and it is place well worth a visit and
deserving of the hearty aid and sympathy Of
all interested in refoTmatory work.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE,

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiien
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary solidity and strength
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of precious metal is over
come, and the SAME SOLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is OF
the most simple nature, as follows: a plate
of nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates OF
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the cases,
backs, centres, bezels, &C., are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to ad-
nit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.
