Found Dead.
A man by the name of Fairweatber was
found dead Saturday night, on liroid
street. He was a tailor by trade.

A New Enterprise.
We are reliably informed that a compa
ny has been organized for the purpose of
erecting a building in the lower part of
the city, near the old Market House, the
upper story of which will ba suitably
arranged aud appropriated especially to
theatrical and other exhibitions. About
SII,OOO ot stock in the enterprise ha3 j
already been taken.
We are pleased to announce the arrival
from the North, where he has been en
gaged for several months iu getting up
ttie machinery, &c., for the Water Works
iu our city, of W. F. Serrell, Esq. He
informs us that all arrangements have
been completed, and that the contracting !
parties will be on in a few weeks to com
mence the work of construction. He
feels sanguine that the work will be com
pleted in the course of next year. This
will be welcome news to many of our
citizens, who have loDg felt the want of
au abundant supply of water in our city.

A Dangerous Place.
At the corner of Randolph and For
syth streets, the ditching made for the
jurpose of draining, are so defectively
covered as to be decidedly dangerous to
vehicles passing over them, particularly
at night. Monday night, a carriage full
of ladies and gentlemen, coming in to
the Concert, was overturned there, owing j
to the above cause. Fortunately, the ac
cident extended no farther than to dam
age the carriage, but it was a Darrow
escape for the occupants. We hope those
having the supervision of such matters,
will see that such accidents may not oc
cur from the same cause again.
Colton’s General Atlas.
The agent for Columbus and Muscogee
county, has exhibited to us a copy of
Colton’s General Atlas of the World. It
is gotten up very elaborately, and on a
scahi more costly and extensive than auy
we have ever before seen. The work is
voluminous, coutaining accurate maps of
all portions of America, Europe, Asia,
Africa aud Oceanica, that has yet been
visited or traversed to the latest times,
tlirongh the efforts of commerce or travel.
Each map is accompanied with statistics,
historical, agricultural, and otherwise,
and greatly increases its value. The
work is invaluable, and is well worth at
tention.
Our Rad Road Enterprises.
We invite special attention to the two
Rail Road articles in this impression of
the Sun Just now that subject is of
vital and practical importance to our
city, and should elicit the sober consid
eration of every citizen. We regret to
perceive the differences of opinion that
prevail, but discussion will at least re
sult in exhibiting the advantages and dis
advantages of the several enterprises in
contemplation. We are glad to see the
matter discussed and elaborated ; it is
decidedly a favorable sympton, and indi
cates a healthy state of public feeling.
Slack Water Navigation Company.
In another place will be found the
provisions of the bill introduced into
the Legislature by Mr. Cook, of Early
county, to incorporate the “Chatta
hoochee Slack Water Navigation Com
pany.” It has already passed to a second
reading in the House, and has been re
ferred to the proper Committee, as we
are informed, and will probably be acted
on in that body to-morrow —or iu a short
time, at least. The bill, in our opinion,
is one in which the citizens of Columbus
are interested, and we invite particular
attention to it.

The West minister Review,
For October has been received. The
present number is full and varied in its
contents, which are as follows: Militia
Forces ; Rousseau, his Life and Writings ;
Spiritual Freedom; Modern Poets and
Poetry of Italy ; Physical Geography of
the Atlantic Ocean ; Garibaldi and the
Italian Volunteers ; Tennyson’s Idylls of :
the King; Bonapartism in Italy. One J
feature of this periodical that deserves i
special notice, is the brief critiques of
Cotemporory Literature, such .as is not j
made the subject of elaborate review.
The price of the Reviews is $8 a
year; “Blackwood” and the four Re- j
views, $lO, re-published by L. Scott & 1

price of the Westminister one year is $3. .
The Election Saturday,
Did not come off, owing to the over
sight iu the appointment of managers.
The City Council at its regular meeting
to-night, will, we presume, reconsider the
matter, and prepare another proposition
to be submitted to the city. As it must
necessarily be acted on de novo, it is sup
posed the question will be put in a differ
ent shape from, the former one Whether
it would be better to act upon the ques
tion of aid to both routes jointly or sep
arately, we are not fully prepared to say,
but with the lights before us, we are more
inclined to favor the submission of each
proposition to the people separately, as a
[ consolidation might hazard the success of
either. The postponement of the ques
tion will resu.t iu good. It has never
been sufficiently canvassed to enable all
those to decide upon it to vote under
standingly, and for this reason os well as
the discussion of the question in all its
| bearings, we feel no regret on account ot
I the failure of t:he election. Our columns
will be cheerfully opened to cominunica
y tions from the friends of both enterprises.
High Price for Negroes.
In Charlotte county, Va., lately there
were sold six negro slaves, the property
| of Mr. David Comfort. They were four
girls and two boys, and ranged from 11
| to 21 years of age. They averaged $1,350
I each! One girl, seventeen years old, sold
; for $1,625. All were sold to parties in
i the country, and for cash.
“A Friend to Columbus,”
Over this communication
appeared in the Enquirer of Saturday,
commenting upon the following language,
used in an editorial article in ihe Sun of
the 2d instant :
“ she friends of the LaGrange connec
tion urge that it would bring to Columbus
the trade of Harris and a portion at least
of Troup and the country adjacent, and
I “ Iso , the valuable trade of Chambers,
j Randolph and other counties in Ala
bama.”
He would not violate a rule prescribed
by us, which is not to notice the effusions
of anonymous writers, behind the masked
battery of a fictitious name, but the com- 1
muuication of “A friend to Columbus” is
couched in terms so respectful, and the
purlieus of billingsgate are so carefully j
avoided, that we deem it due to ourselves ;
to explain the language above, lest we
remain in a false position.
Prompted by a desire to awaken an
active interest in our Rail Road enter
prises, we wrote and published a short
series of articles, under the caption of
“Columbus and her Rail Road Interests.”
j Among other objects advocated, was a
! connection with Charleston. There were
as now, two projected Roads competing
for it, viz: those via LaGrange aDd
Thomastou. Uncommitted then to either,
we simply enumerated, without comment,
j the peculiar advantages claimed and
j ur god by the friends of each, and iu that
i connection and sense only, did we use
the language quoted in the coinmuoica- i
tion of “A friend to Columbus”—the
principal object being to elicit informa
tion and induce practical reflection on
the subject.

Tlie Sacred Concert.
Notwithstanding the inclemency of the
weather, a select auditory assembled at
Temperance Hall Monday evening, at
tracted by the occasion of the second Co- j
cert of the St. Cecilia Society. In ac- |
cordance with the request of maDy friends
and citizens, the programme of their first j
entertainment was repeated, and this in ;
connection with the undivided attention
| given, is perhaps the highest evidence of
the brilliant style in which the pieces !
composing it were rendered.
The Organ Melodeon, owing to the dif
ference in ttdaptation of the two Halls to
its power and volume of tone, was ex- ;
hibited with better effect than before !
The Solos, Duets, &c., were rendered by I
vocal powers of surpassing sweetness,
compass,Jand flexibility—in fact the first
two Concerts of the St. Cecilians have
made their Society a permanent institu
tion, and to the lovers of vocal music—a
necessity.
We venture to suggest the propriety of
interspersing the Concerts for the future,
with nowand then, a piece of instrument
al music. The amateurs of the city would
doubtless volunteer their services on any
occasion. In common with many citizens,
we congratulate the community on the
independent and inexhaustible resource
of home amusement, which the St. Cecil
ians have so successfully inaugurated.

The page Murder—Startling Devel
opementa.
The Montgomery Advertiser of Mon
i day, says:
A rumor reached this city on Saturday
i last, to the effect that the murderer of
Mr. Page, and also an accomplice, had
J been arrested in Couecuh county a day
or two previous, and immediately burnt
by the former neighbors of the unfortu
nate deceased. It is also stated, that these
two fellows, before passing through the
terrible ordeal to which they bad been
subjected, confessed that they belonged
to a regularly organized band of highway
robbers, composed of nine other individ
uals besides themselves. These are in
deed startling developements, and it is to
be hoped that the inhuman wretches,
who have alike trampled upon the law of
j God and man, will be eventually brought
to the most condign punishment.

Letter to Sirs. L. Marta Child.
J&FFKRBon Cos., Va., Nov. 9.
, MR3. L. Mama CniLD, Waylaud, Mass.:
Your extraordinary letters to Governor
Wise and to John Brown, the man cou
. victcd of endeavoring to bathe my neigh
borhood in blood and rapine, dated Octo
ber 2Gth, together with your note to the
“ Liberator,” have induced me to ad
dress you as ore Christian woman to
j another.
God has been pleased, in bis Provi
dence, to cause a great many blacks from
Africa to be brought by your fathers to
this country before you or I were born,
that they may be placed here as wards
under guardians, to be instructed in the
ways of civilization. You call them
slaves, but, in reality, they are warJs.
Unfit to be left to their own guidance,
and, feeling it, they cling to the whites
as protectors, and are in their normal
condition when so placed. Custom had
rendered the connection mutually bene
ficial. and, when undisturbed by outside
influence, there is no happier home than
those of the agricultural districts of our
State. Here you may see the absence of
the exciting cares that attend too many
families among you. There is no preten
sion, but much of simplicity and honest
content. Together, we and our servants
! spend a life time of mutual services.
With us we see the same faces around us
i until death or misfortune sunders the tie,
whilst with you a constant change iu
your domestics is daily to be expected.
Your convenience is the only bond that
unites you to your help, as you term it;
with us, affection, which has strength
ened from childhood to age, hallows the
connection.
In sickness we attend and nurse our
servants, in age we maintain them, and
when death separates, tears and mourn
ing attest our love for the departed. To
gether, we and our domestics joy over
God’s blessings and abundance; we have
one interest and make one family. The’
same gospel we bear they hear ; the same
civilization we have we strive to incul
cate. That this is so, you may learn
from the greater value the Liberian Colo
nial Government places on emigrants,
who just come from Southern guardian
ship or slavery over the free negro emi
gration. That we have done our duty to
the negro you may learn, also, by com
paring the native African, or even the
Haytien, with the Southern slaves.
Madam, your hero, John Brown, came
among us to incite our domestics to rise
against us, to break up a peaceful Chris
tian community, doing you nor yours no
harm. We were happy, and our servants
were happy ; we were treading together
the narrow path of duty, enjoying our
lives humbly and unambitiously, and this
man of blood came to change all of this,
and you who call yourself a Christian,
say in the Liberator:
“ My thoughts are so much with Cap
tain John Brown, that I can scarcely
take comfort in anything. I would ex
pend all I have to save his life. Brave old
man ! Brave and generous, though sadly
mistaken in his mode of operation.
Whether they put him to death, or he
escapes from their hands, I think this
will prove the ‘Concord Fight ’ of an im
pending revolution, and that ‘Bunker
Hill Battle’ will surely follow. May God
make us strong for freedom ! I would say
that evil days were near, were it not that
no days are evil that lead to good.”
Surely your morals must have been de
rived from the study of Byron, and not
from the teachings of our Lord and Mas
ter. That sentimental poet deified pi
rates, murderers, and a libertine life in
general; you do the same—nay more,
you ask our Governor to allow you to
play the Medora to the robber Conrad.
Is this the lesson you would teach our
people? Would you have us first import
wild pagans from Africa as your Massa
chusetts fathers did : sell them to others,
with the reservation that when the pur
chasers, after toil and industry, had par
tially civilized the barbarians, and a
prosperous and piogressing civilization
had set in, then that our children should
pursue the innocent and useful purchas
ers with fire and sword, to devastate the
country and return people and land to
their native savagery ? If these are the
Christian principles you would inculcate,
we want none of your teachings. What
is your plea for such base conduct ? You
say slaves are sometimes whipped ; they
are also cruelly treated—are separated
from husband, or wife, or children. Such
cases are, no doubt, to be found; they
are incident to evil human nature. But
in your free State civilization unattended
with wrongs and horrors ? Alas! I wish
it were ; for I desire to see human nature
better than it is. Yourpapers are loath
somely full of the worst crimes—the most
inhuman practices that can disgrace so
ciety.
For every one unhappy deed perpetra
ted on the poor negro, I will engage to
find a hundred perpetrated on your own
kind among the Pharisees of Massacbu
setts. Deity mercifully agreed to spare
Sodom if but ten righteous men were
found there ; you would destroy a whole
people because there may be ten unright
eous ones among them.
Not to make my letter unreadably
long, I will reserve what I have to say
farther for another occasion.
Your obedient servant,
A VIRGINIA MATRON.
Accident to Bishop Paine.
A Choctow Nation correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican, under date of Oc
tober 26, writes as fol’ows:
Bishop Paine, of the M. E. Church,
South, preached an able sermon here
yesterday. He is on his way to attend
the Indian Mission Conferrence, which
convenes at the Creek Agency on Thurs
day next. The Bishop had a providen
tial escape from death a few days since,
near Bentonville, in Arkansas. The
stage in which he was traveling upset,
the horses took fright, and dashed off at
a furious rate, dragging the vehicle over
a rocky road, fracturing two of the
Bishop's ribs on the left side, and con
fining him inside until the top of the
coach was broken to pieces.

To the Physicians of the Southern States :
Wolfe’s Genuine Cognac Brandy.
Wolfe’s Genuine Port Wine.
Wolfe’s Genuine Madeira Wine.
Wolfe’s Genuine Sherry Wine.
I am now supplying the trade with pure Cognac
Brandy, in bottles, both for medical and private
use. The immense success that has crowned my
efforts toplace a pure Gin within the reach of all,
under the name of Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps,
and to drive out of the market the pernicious com
pounds sold as Gin throughout the country, led
many leading druggists, apothecaries and medical
men, for some years past, to solicit me to pursue
the same course in regard to the article of Brandy.
I should have complied with these requests from
all quarters loDg ago, but was deterred from it by
the fact, that owing to the exhorbitant* prices of
Brandy in France, consequent upon the shortness
of tho grape crop for some years, there was no
chance of my being able to inport the choicest
Brandy, bottle it and sell it at moderate prices.
Fortunately for me, the grape crop for the last and
previous year (and the prospect for this) was
abundant, and prices of Brandy have fallen to
the standard ol ten years ago. The duty on Brandy
is also seventy per cent lower, and I have now
made arrangements with four Brandy exporters
in Franco, of the highest repute, and am regularly
receiving consignments of the best Cognac Brandy,
which I am bottling and selling as Wolfe’s Genu
ine Cognac Brandy. I guarantee, with my seal,
labels and certificates, the Brandy so bottled by ‘
me, as the pure, unadulterated article, and it will
be found, when used as a medicine, a beverage, or
a cordial, healthful and invigorating. It has been
a matter of universal complaint, that a bottle of
pure, unmixed French Brandy, was very difficult
to obtain, and the purchaser, nine times in ten,
was deceived with a vile manufactured imitation.
Of-all descriptions of ardent spirits, Brandy, from
its high price, has been the one article that mixe rs
and sellers have turned their attention to, and
millions of gallons of the so-called French Brandy
have been scattered annually through the land,
and have been the primary cause of murders, sui
cides, cruelties and crimes, and have sent thou
sands to an early grave, self-destroyers, from de
lirium tremens, mania-a-potn and horrors, names
unknown, until unprincipled men began to make
maddening compounds and sell it as the pure
Fiench Brandy.
The virtures of pure French Brandy need not
be told by me. They are known throughout the
world as a medicine or mild stimulant. It is, as
the French nation poetically call it “Eau de la
vie,” the water of life. But this applies to it only
when pure and unadulterated. Manufactured with
the fearful ingredients that make agood imitation,
it becomes a death drink to innocent tens of thou
sands of our race. To remedy a fearful evil, I
have commenced importing Brandy, bottling it,
and selling it as “Wolfe’s Genuine Cognac Bran
dy.” lam daily receiving orders from the drug
gists and apothecaries in all parts of the Union, to
sell it tor medical purposes.

Columbus, Ga., Nov. 17,1859. j
W hereas, the hand of the grim Destroyer has
been again laid upon us, and another of our
little band has fallen ; in the full vigor of man
hood, and in the midst of his eareor, our broth
er member, F. Bachle, has been cut off from
among us, and it becomes our duty to offer
some tribute to the memory of the departed.
Therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of Mr. Bachle, Vig
ilant Fire Company has been deprived of a
most active, efficient and essential,member, one
who was never found to shrink from the calls
of duty, or the post of danger, but has at all
times, been foremost incontests with our dread
enemv.
He.solved. That we most heartily lament the
untimely fate of our late brother, and tender
his friends our heartfelt sympathies, and our
testimony to his modest merit and generous
nature; and that in further token of our re
spect, we will drape our apparatus in the
usual symbols of mourning for the space of
thirty days.

A CARD.
MR. JOHN ROBINSON, formerly of the firm
of Robinson A Eldred. now senior of the
] firm of Robinson A Lake, is pleased to announce
that in a few days hii extensive, and completely
organized Troupe, will visit Columbus and would
beg the public to recall that his exhibitions have
ever been regarded as entirely satisfactory. Theie
| has been but. one verdict in the South, and that
has been, that Robinson A Etdred, when con
j nected in business, always gave the best show of
j any company traveling. Mr. R. now pledges
I himself that his present company is eqna’, aye.
’ superior to any of his previous combinations, and
I trusts the public will discriminate between his
Troupe and the numerous trifling little humbugs
that steal the Thunder of Great Exhibitions, and
! swindle the communities through whico they
p?ss. His ComDany will visit, during its present
tour, the whole country, from Mason A Dixon’s
line to the Florides, and from the Land of Flowers
to the base of the Rocky Moan tains, -o that his old
patrous will have an opportunity to witness the
entertainmeata of a Genuine Menagerie and Cir
cus ; and are politely requested to let the little
humbugs pass by. and wait for the Big Show#
Posters and large Pictorial Bills will announce
the exact time of the arrival of the Company.
MR. WM. C. PRE3TON, the Traveling Agent,
will precede the Company some two or three

DAILY SUN OFFICE. )
Columbus, Ga.. November 22,1859. j
COTTON—The transactions in our market
yesterday amounted to 239 Kales at quotations
in our statements annexed. The advices per
Canada served to make factors firmer in their 1
demands, which shippers were unable to accede
to, being under limits in some instances, and
in others regarding prices asked too high. The
receipts for the day amounted to 450 bales.
Our last weekly report, closing on the 12th !
inst., left the market quiet, Jput- firm, at 10 to !
10)4 for Middling to Good Middling. The week
now under review has been remarkable, as re- 1
spects the large business from wagons on the I
streets, and the very limited business in the j
warehouses; it might be appropriate to remark
just here, that the daily reports of sales does not
embrace street transactions, but is taken alone
from the sales of legitimate factors. Monday and
Tuesday, the two first days under review, hold
ers were firm at our last quotations, but in con
sequence of the difficulty in shipping and what
buyers regarded as high prices, only 263 bales
changed hands; Wednesday and Thursday,
holders hoping to accommodate the views of
buyers, conceded %e., but at this only sold
1.132 bales; on Friday and Saturday holders
evinced more anxiety to reduce their stocks,
which have increased with heavy receipts very
considerably during the week, but at the an
nexed quotations buyers were unmindful of
the urgent solicitations of holders; the sales of
the first day only reached 306 bales, and the
last day 484 bales, at an irregular decline for
the week of %to %<*. We submit the following
quotations, prefacing them with the remark—
that difference of opinion exists as to the actual
state of the market, the natural result of so
small a business: in short, the market closes
without a satisfactory understanding :
QUOTATIONS:
Low Middling 9)4 to 9%
Middling 9% to 10
Strict Middling 10% to 10%
Good Middling to 10%
Middling Fair 10)4 to 10%
Receipts. —Notwithstanding the interruption
to the Mobile and Girard Rail Road, in conse
quence of a recent accident by which the mo
tive power of that Road has been materially re
duced, they are 5,491, being an increase on
the corresponding week of last year of 1,713
bales; the decrease is now reduced to 10,595
bales.
Stock.— Continues to accumulate, in conse
quence of the difficulty in shipping eastward.
the Muscogee Rail Road, with an inadequate
supply of cars from the other end, is taxed
beyond its capacity. Some improvement in
this respect is promised this ensuing week.
The stock held by local operators is large; one
by one, daring the week, has filled up and re
tired, waiting more auspicious events to re
duce.
Crop.— We hear nothing more to change our
previously expressed opinions as to the result
in this vicinity; frequent intercourse with plant
ers confirms our extreme estimates of produc
tion. A slight fall of rain, which we have had
during the week, will not change the result;
the weather at this writing is all that could be
desired by planters.

AMERICAN WATCHES,
MADE BY THE
American Watch Company,
AT WALTHAM, MASS.
A Iteration is invited to tbe following statement
■nd the accompanying letters of recommendation
and testimonials of these celebrated Watches.
A gold medal was awarded the Company by tbe
Massachusetts Mechanical Association, 1856.
A gold medal was also awarded them by tbe
i American Institute at New York, in 1857.
The Company also received the first premium—
a gold medal—from the Franklin Institute, Phila
delphia, in 1858.
These watches have now been in the market for
nearly ten years, daring which time they have t
been tested as to accuracy, durability and rclia- {
biltty, in every conceivable manner, and have
proved themselves to be the most satisfactory
time-pieces ever offered to the public.
This result has been brought about by a strict
application of mechanical science to the construc
tion of the Watch from its very inception, render- j
ing it, when finished, mathematically correct in all
its proportions, and, necessarily, as perfect a-time- ;
keeper as it is possible to make.
The Company liavo tested their Watches, in
many instances, by actual daily noting, and the
result of this test has been that tticy hare exhibited a
rate equal in regularity to the best Marine Chronom
eter. The following certificates are from gentle
men who have carried their Watches with them in
their daily avocations, and are, therefore, rc-liable
indications of what msy be expected from the
American Watch when in ordinary active use :
Letter from Paul Morphy, the celebrated Chess
Player.
New York, October 16th, 1869.
Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir:—The American watch, No. 9240, pre
sented me by the New York Chess Club, has
proved to be a most reliable and accurate time
keeper—almost nnnecessarily so for ordinary pur
poses It is now nearly five months since it came
into my possession, and during that period its
variation from standard time has been but a trifle
more Ihnn halt a minute. The following is a
record of its performance. It was set June 3d,
correctly:
June 15, fast 4 sec. Aug 15, f*st 18 sec.
July 1, “ 6 “ Sept. 1, “ 23 “
“ 15, “10 l5, 2B “
Aug. 1, “ 18 “ Oct. 1, “ 32 “
I give you permission to make such use of this
statement as you may think proper. I am, with
respect, yours truly. PAUL MORPHY.
Boston, Sept. 27th, 1859.
Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—lt gives me great pleasure to com
ply with your request for a report of the perform
ance of the American watch which I purchased
of you Dec. 2d, 1858. It was set on that day, and
its variation from true time to tho 19th of Febru
ary, 1859, when 1 let it run down, was ten seconds
fast. From that time to the present, it has run
with nearly perfect steadiness, having, during the
; eight months, varied not more than two seconds,
’ and this with uncommonly rough usage I can
commend yonr manufacture in the highest terms.
Yours truly, JAMES H. CLAPP.
Firm of Clapp, Fuller A Brown,
Bankers, Boston.
The following is from Mr. Porter, the well
known Marine Chronometer and Watchmaker:
Boston, Sept. 28 th, 1859.
Mr. R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—I have sold daring the last yuir a
considerable number of watches of the Waltham
manufacture, and am happy to ray that all of
them, without exception, have fulfilled my guar
anty, and have given satisfaction to the purcha
sers. GEORGE E. PORTER.
Willton Bluff, S. C., Oct. 20,1859.
| K. E. Robbins, Esq.:
Drar Sir: —The three watches of your manu
facture which I purchased to be used on my plan
tation, have proved to be the most correct time
keepers I have over known. I gave my head
servant, my head carpenter, and my head engi
neer, each, oue of them; and since they have
been in their respective possession, everything
on the plantation has moved like clock-work, in
consequence of the extreme accuracy and regu
larity with which these watches perform.
Truly yours, LEWIS MORRIS.
Boston, Aug. 20th, 1859.
R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—The “ Waltham,” which I purchased
some six months since, has given entire satisfac
tion. Its time has boen fully equal to tbat of a
“ Frodsbnm,” which I owned more than a year.
Truly yours, ALBERT METCALF,
65 Franklin st.
Booh Room, 200 Mulberry street,
New York, Oct. 6th, 1859.
R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
Dear Sir :—I take great pleasure in being able
to certify that for the last six months I have car
ried a watch from the manufactory of the Ameri
can Watch Company, and that it has given per
fect satisfaction as a time-keeper. Judging from
the one I have, I do not hesitate to predict that
the day is not far distant when watches made in
the United States will supercede all others.
JAMES FLOY, D. D.
Boston, Aug. 9th, 1859.
R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watbh Cos.:
Dear Sir :—I take pleasure in stating that the
American watch I have of your manufacture,
performs to my entire satisfaction, running regu
larly at the rate of thirty seconds fast per month.
Capt. GORHAM 11. BASSETT.
R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos. :
Dear Sir, —The watch I bought of you—one of
your adjusted Chro. Bal. movements—runs to my
entire satisfaction. For the past three months it
has not varied more than one minute, and is now
running at tbat rate. It has seen the hardest
service in every way in point of locomotion.
Yours truly, C. C. SHEAFE.
j New Haven, Conn., Sept. 27th.
R. K. Robbins, Esq.:
Dear Sir :—Yours of the 23d was duly received.
In reply I would say, that the American watch
No. 6939, has proved itself one of the best watches
for railway purposes.
The American watch, in my opinion, is far bet
ter than any watch I have used for the last four
teen years on railroads. I remain, respectfully
yours, G. A. FULLER,
Conductor New Haven, Hartford and
Springfield R. R.
R. E. Robbins, Treas. Am. Watch Cos.:
DearStr:—The American watch that I pur
chased of you about a year since, runs with great
exactness ; its variations being so slight tbat I
have not found it necessary to set it for several
months. Yours truly, WM. B. SPEAR.
CAUTION.—As onr Watch is now extensively
counterfeited by foreign manufacturers, we have
to inform the public that no Watch is of our pro
duction which is unaccompanied by a certificate of
genuineness, bearing the number of the Watch,

by our predecessors, APPLETON, TRACY A CO.

VIZ: THAT
Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative
WILL preserve infallibly the growth and color
of the hair, if used two or three times a
week, to any imaginable ago. Perfectly restore
the gray, cover tbe bald with nature’s own orna
ment, the hair; make it more soft and beautiful
than any oil, and preserve the scalp free from all
diseases to the.greatest age. Statesmen, Judges,
Attorneys, Doctors, Clergymen, Professional men,
and Gentlemen and Ladies of all classes, all over
the world, bear testimony that we do not say too
much in its favor. Head the tollowiug, and judge:
Hickory Grove, St. Charles Cos., Nov. 19, 1867.
Prof. O. J. Wood— Dear Sir: Some time last
summer we were induced to use some of your Hair
Restorative, and its effects were so wonderful we
feel it our duty, to you and the afflicted, to re
port it.
Our little son’s head for some time had been
pei fectiy covered with sores, and some calied it
scald head. The hair almost entirely came off in
consequence, when a friend, seeing his sufferings,
advised us to use your Restorative, we did so with
little hope of success, but to our surprise, and
that of all our friends, a very few applications re
moved the disease entirely, and anew and luxr
riant crop of hair soon started out, and we can
uow ssy that our boy has as healthy a scalp, aud
as luxuriant a crop of hair as any other child.
We can, therefore, and do hereby, recommend
your Restorative, as a perfect remedy for ail
diseases of the scalp and hair. We are yours re
spectfully, GEO. W. HIQGENBOTHAM,
SARAH A. lIIGGENBOTHAM.
Prof. Wood — Dear Sir: My hair had, for sev
eral years, boon becoming prematurely gray, ac
companied by a harshness which rendered the
constant application of oil necessary in dressing it.
When I oommenced using your Hair Restorative
about two months ago it was in that coudition;
aud having continued the use till w ithin the last
three weeks, it hag turned to its natural color,
and assumed a softness and lustre greatly to be
preferred to those produced by the application of
oils or auy other preparation I have ever used. I
regard it as an indispensable article for every la
dy’s toilet, whether to be used ns a Hair Restora
tive or for tho simple purpose of dressing or beau
tifying tbe hair. You have permission to refer to
me all who entertain auy doubt ol its performing
all that is claimed for it.

Wellington, Mo., Dec. 6,1857.
Prof. Wood—Dear Sir: By theadvieeof a friend
of mine, who had been using your Hair Restora
tive, I was induced to try it. I had the fever,
some time last May, and nearly every hair is my
head came out. Now my hair has come in a great
deal thicker than everit was. Nothing but a duty
and sympathy that 1 feel to communicate to oth
ers who are afflicted as I have been, would induce
me to give this public acknowledgement of the
benefit I have received from Prof. Wood’s Hair
Restorative. Yonrs respectfully.

The Restorative is put up in bottles of 3 sizes,
viz: large, medium and small; thesmall bolds

proportion than the small, retails for two dollars

MRS. WINSLOW,
An experienced Nurse and Female Physician, pre
seats to the attention of mothers, her
SOOTHING SYRUP,
For Children Teething,
which greatly facilitates the process of teething,
by softening the gums, reducing all inflammation
—will allay all pain and spasmodic action.and is
Sure to Regulate the Bowels.
Depend upon it mothers, it will give rest to
yourselves and
Relief and Health to your Infants.
WE have put up • and sold this article
for over ten Qj years, and can say,
in confidence and truth of it, what we
have never been able to say of any other
medicine— NEVEß HAS IT FAIL
ED, IN A SIN- Qrj GLE instance, to
Effect a CURE, when timely used.—
Never did we know an instance of dissatis
faction by any one who used it. On the
contrary, all are do- rf\ lighted with its opera
tions, and speak in teims of highest com
mendation of its magi- cal effects and medical
virtues. Me speak in this matter “what
we do know,” af- rK ter ten years’ experi
ence, and pledge w our reputation for
the fulfilment of what we here de
clare. lnalinostev- F-4 ery instance where
the infant is suffering from pain and exhaus
tion, relief will be found in fifteen or
twenty minutes after LQ the Syrup is adminis
tered.
This valuable prepa- ration is the prescrip
tion of one of the most experienced and
skillful Nurses in New England,and has
been used with never failing success
in
THOUSANDS OF CASES.
It not only relieves the child from pain,
but invigorates the stomach and bowels,
corrects acidity, and gives tone and energy
to the whole system. JQ It will almost instant
ly relieve r.
Griping in the t> Bowels, and
WIND P* COLIC,
and overcome convulsions, which if not
speedily remedied end in death. Me believe
it the best and sur- J est remedy in the
world, in all cases of Dysentery and
Diarrhcee in Chil- Xfl dren, whether it
arises from teething, or from any other
cause. M T e would say 2j to every mother who
has a child suffering from any of the fore
goingcomplaints—do not let your pre
judices, nor the prejudices of oth
ers, stand between your suffering child
and the relief that will be SURE—yes, ab
solutely SURE — to follow the use of
this medicine, if time- .ly used. Full direc
tions for using will jf\ accompany each bot
tle. None genuine un- less the sac-simile of
of CURTIS & PERKINS, New
York, is on the out- side wrapper.
Sold by Druggists throughout the world.
