How Watch Cases are Made.

Most persons have an ambition to carry
a goldwatch case, and yet few people know
how watch case is made or the vast diff
ference in.thequality of them. aSoLID
GOLD WATCH CASE, aside from the ncces-
sary thickness for engraving and polishing,
a large proportion of the metal is needed
only to stifen and hold the engraved por-
tions in place, and supply strength. Tho
surplus is not only needless, but undesira-
Jle, because gold is soft metal and cannot
furnish the stiffness, strength and elasticity
necessary to make the case permanently
strong and close-ftting. The perfect watch
case must combine gold with some metal
that will supply that in which the gold is
deficient. This has been accomplished by
the James Boss Gold Watch Case arr " .,,x
which hsaves the WASTE of need q q
less gold, and INCREASES the soLrDITY and
STRENGTH of the case, and at the same time
reduces the cost ONE HALF.

Let Us Have LIght.-In passing
through Tontogany on Monday night we
noticed that every lamp was burning and
the town was handsomely illuminated,
eaual in fact TO the streets OF city where
gas is in use. On reaching Perrysburg we
found all darkness and gloom, and had no'
the train men called out the name we could
not have recognized the town after resi-
dence of eighteen consecutive years.
Is II not time that the Council take some
definite action TO remedy this? The lamps
were erected in good faith by private cili-
zens several years ago, under the promise
and after an ordinance had been passed
guaranteeing that they would be furnished
and lighted at the expense of the corpora
tion, 1t il not keeping good faith wi tn
those who erected lamps, and 1t is not
creditable TO the enterprise al our citizens
to llow the town to drift back into the
dark ages for the want of stamina to en-
force the ordinances passed. Let MS have
more lamps and have them all lighted on
all dark nights.

The lie Conte Pear.

Prof J. Z. STEELE, agricultural editor of
the Mobile Register, has been on trip to
Florida. and turned aside at ThOmasville
to investigate the now famous lie COnte
pear. which seems likely to settle down
on Thomas, though Liberty county is its
Georgia nativity. His observations and
conclusions appear in the Register IN con-
nectiOn with the Oft-repeated history of
the lie COnte pear so far as it is known;
but the Professor does not appear to lave
made any discovery enabling him to throw
light upon its origin beyond the statement
Of DIR. Jones that s'it was called the Japan
or Chinese sand pear" The doctor also
states that Major lie COnte obtained
the two trees in a nursery near Philadel-
phia.. The name by which it was called
might give some clue, but would not be
conclusive of its origin. Another history
traces the two trees to a nursery in New
York, if we mistake not, perhaps by Mr..
VarnadOe or Mr.. Sanford. We remember
that it was stated and believed for several
years that the pear was brought over
from China or Japan during the Consul
ship of Hon. John f. Ward to the former
country, which ended just previous to the
breaking out of the late war between the
States. but correspondence with that gen.
tleman elected the fact that he knew
nothing about the pear or its importation.
SO far as any evidence exists to the
contrary it is an American pear. Ger
tainIy if any such variety is known in
Japan or China the present friendly rela-
,fr.fo
and America would enable our people to
discover it. We see no reason why it
should not have been hybridized from the
Chinese Sand and the Bartlett or some
other good pear, and thus far that seems
quite as reasonable as that it came from
Asia already perfected in its species.
