Friday evening; said that if the' spirits
could cut up his hat, or handkerchief,
they were welcome. A small stone
dropped on his head, which, when
picked up, be found red hot; and upon
taking out his handkerchief discovered
it cut to shreds. As another instance
very peculiar, a young gentleman, and
confirmed skeptic in spiritualism, with
other persons,.visited the house on last

WALTHAM
WlfjCHES
The extensive "Use or these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers,
and Expres.smen, the most exacting of wetch-
wearers,lias thoroughly demonstrated thcf.t* eugtl
steadiness, durability and accuiacy of the Wal
tham Watch. To satisfy that class in alltheso re
spects, is to decldeTthe question as to the real vai
uo of. these time-keepers.
More than 600,000 of these watches are no*
.speaking for themselves in the pockets of the peo-
ple—a proof and a guarantee of their snperiorxtv
over all others.- _ .
The. superior organization and great extent oi
the Company’s works a,t "Waltham, enables them tc
produce watches at a price wlii'ht renders compc
tltion futile, and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from 25 to 50 per cent more Tor the r
watchesthan is necessary.
These time-pieces combine every improvement
that along experience has proved of real practical
use. Having. had the refusal of nearly every
vention in watchmaking, originating this country
or in JEnrope, only those were finally adopter*
which severe testing by the most skillful a* tisan
in our works, and long use on the part of the pub
lic demonstrated to be essetial to correct and en
during-time-keeping.
Among the many improvements we would par*
ticularize:
The invention'and use of a centre-pinion of pe-
culiar construction, to prevent damage to tn-
tnlin by the breakage of main-springs, is origina
with the American WatchCompany, who bavin
nad the refusal of all other contrivances, adopUu
Foggs’ patent pinion, as being the best and fault
less. .
Hardened and tempered hair-springs, now uni
versally admitted by Watchmakers to be the oe.-»
are Used in all grades of " Waltham Watehcs.
All Waltham Watches have dust-proof caps, pr;
tecting the movementHorn dust and leweeing ti
necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary '
other watches. ►;/ ; -
Our new patent stem-winder or keylesB watch __
already a decided success, and a great improve
ment on any stem-winding watch in the Americas
market, and by far tho cheapest watch of its qi.a-
ity now offered to the public. To those living in
portions of the United States where^ tutch-raaier*
do notabouud, watches with the above mention a.
improvements which tend to ensure accuracy
cleaulmess, durability and convenience, mutt
prove invaluable.
