February, 1883.
To the Editor OF the Free Press aud Times;
AS Burlington is my old home, perhaps a
a few lines to your readers would not be
amiss. Twenty-six years last September l
left Winooski Falls for Michigan, and conse-
qucntly am one of the pioneers OF Gra,iot
county When we reached Pontiac which
was the terminus of the railroad, and five
miles this side of our destination, we came
by marked trees, and the indians were as
thick as white people. There were no roads,
few schools and no mails, and 1t was
greater change than we looked for The
mail was carried by an Indian on foot once
in six weeks. But we have got well over
such Inconvenience. We have five roads, II
daily mail, the best of schools, and fine
farms. Log buildings have mostly disap-
poared, and frame ones have taken their
places. This is a fine fruit country. The
finest peaches grow here that l ever saw.

THE WATERBURY WATCH.

We have taken sper<al pains to ascertain the
exact facts in regard to this somewhat famous
watch, and we are satisfied that far fron being
mere toy, it is substantial and useful article. AT
first we were distrusful, as doubtless many OF our
readers will he, thinking it impossible that really
valuable time Keeper could be produced at the
the singularly low price Of $500. A leading
dcnomina.ional paper that offers this watch as
premium says of 1t: I'VE have not only inquired
carefully OF those who have disposed Of scores OF
factory at Waterbury, Conn., personally Inspecting
the establishment in all its various departments;
and we have become convinced from the character
OF the men engaged in its manufacture, the amount
OF capital invested and the general verdict IN
regard to the watch, That We are doing our sub
scrbers a real favor in Offering 1t as premium.
About two hundred and seyenty-lve hands are
employed in the factory, and 1t turns out eight
hundred raicheS a day, While we do not suppose
the Waterbury TO stand quite on apar with watch
that costs from $50 to 500, we are nevertheless
convinced mat IL Will compare laNolholl "'h
what are called the lower priced silver watches.
and that many who shall come TO own 1t VIII be
surprised al its accuracy as tIme-kecper. Tie
case Is OF ncklc-svcr, looks precisely like silver
and will wear as 1t looks The watch is STEM
winter. and each one is accompanied with all
needed directions as to its use"

tion of bark, rubber, ivory, nuts and hides.
The liabilities are reported at $500,0O0,

cause of the failure is attributed to the i'm
possibility of shipping various products, on
account of the revolution in Ecuador, and
on which they had advanced heavily on
