How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
Ecture of the james Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over yfve hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. Ther
son of this increase is this: In the james
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, while the re-
maindeT, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, combination pro-
.ducing watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. ~ v,v.
Over 100000 of these cases & 3
have been sold, and every jeweler in the
country can testify to their quality and
merit. ,o
Il w M Marsh, OF the Democrat bought jas Boss
short time ago, when purchased it, and sold 1t to
customer The case showed no signs of wear, except
that natural to any case, and am satisfied can be
sold the James Boss Gold Watch Case for many years.
and tho parties who bought the first ones carry
ing them to-day, as we'll satisfied though they had
regard them the only cases Of this kind jeweler
SHOULD sell who desires to give his customers the
worth Of their money or values his reputation

Quite large PARTY of our people
accompanied the Eureka B. B. C. to
North Stratford last Monday to see
the game of ball which resulted in the
defeat of our boys by a score of 70 to 7.
The game was close and exciting, and
abounded in good plays by both mines.
We are glad to hear that the game was
not marred by the pickering and ques-
tioning of decisions, altogether too
common in close games of ball. After
the game the Eurekas We're treated to

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES,


We presume there is hardly lady
to he found in our broad land who, il
she does not already possess a sewing
machine, expects some day to become
the owner of one.
But after the mind has been fully
made up to purchase one of these in
dispensable articles, the question
arises as to what kind CT q machine to
buy.
1t should be so simply constructed
that the most inexperienced can suc-
cessfully operate it. The other points
mainly to be considered, and which
are the most desirable, are durability,
rapidity, capacity for work, ease of
operation, regularity of motion, uni
formity of tension, and silence while
in operation.
The "Light-Running New Home"
fills the above requirements, and is
said to combine the good points of all
sewing machines, with the addition of
many new Improvements and labor
saving devices.
The price is no higher than that of
other machines, and every lady who
is the happy possessor of one may rest
assured she has indeed a treasure.

illustrated catalogue and enclose their

The New York Dramatic Company
occupied the Island Pond Hall last
Monday and Tuesday evenings, giving
two such dramatic representations,
the equal of which has not been wit
messed here. Their rendition of Pyg-
malion and Galatea on Monday even
ing evoked hearty and general express
sions of delight from our amusement
loving patrons, the marked ability of
each member of the company being
thoroughly recognized. Tuesday
evening "Rose of Kildare" was pre-
sented, the company catering very
happily to the pleasure and enjoy.
ment of the large audience. The
browning feature of the evening, how
ever, was the recitation by little Sea
nille," which fairly took the house
by storm, the deafening applause that
greeted her at its conclusion testifying
in unmistakable terms to the keen de-
light of those present, and her manner
of delivery, her gestures and quaint
ways will not soon be forgotten. Oar
people are not slow to recognize talent,
the universal verdict being that no
such enjoyable performances have
ever been given here. Come again,
we shall be glad to greet youall.

The Loss of the Amsterdam m.

New YORK, August s.-Dispatches were
received at the office of the steamer Amster-
dam in this city giving the names of the
lost. They were Henry Schellenberg and
William Dicks, steerage passengers, and
Treminer Brommel, coal passer Captain
Cove. of the steamer Brooklyn City, plying
between Newport and Bristol, arrived here
Sunday. Yesterday he stated that his steam
er and the Amsterdam were together from
the morning of the 10Th of July to the
morning of the S0th, AMI parted about noon
that day one hundred and twenty miles
from the scene of tine wreck. On both
these days Captain Cove says he found HIM
self eighteen miles Off from where he ought
to have been and his steering compass prac-
tically useless OH account of weather dis
turbances. This, he suggests, must have
been the case with the compass of the Am
sterdanl, and thus caused her to go ashore.
