THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY-
Commissioners to the General Assembly at
Pittsburg, passing over the whole or any part of
the “Pennsylvania Central,” the “Pittsburg,
Wheeling and Cleveland,” the “Pittsburg, Port
Wayne and Obioago,” and the “Ohio and Missis-,
slppi Bail Roads, can pass for half fare} or, pay
ing full fare to the Assembly, can have an ex
cursion ticket which will permit them to return
free.
The “Pennsylvania Northern Central Rail
road,” running from Baltimore, through Harris
burgh to Sunbury, will do the same. An effort
has been made to seoure the same from Stinbury
to Elmira and Canandaigua, which, if successful,
will be published in our newspapers, and will give
Central and Western New York Commissioners a
choice between the route, through Elmira, Sun
bury and Harrisburgh, and that through Buffalo
and Cleveland.
Application has been made to many other roads
for similar terms, but without success:'
The Commissioners are slow to send their names
and residences to the Committee of arrangements
at Pittsburg. Prompt attention to this matter
will save the commissioners and the committee
much trouble. But those who neglect it, will have
places promptly assigned them when they reach
the city, on application to the committee. K.
, Plttaburg, Pa.
All the commissioners, and others, who propose
to attend the meetings of the Assembly, are ear
nestly requested to come and spend the day pre
vious to the organization, In thanksgiving for
mercies past, and imploring the divine blessing.
Many ministers and elders will come from scenes
of revival; they may do the churches in Pittsburg,
and the other .members of Assembly great good, by
bringing up & report of what the Lord is doing fdr
his people.
We need greater showers of divine grace on all
our churches—we need wisdom and” strength from
on high. Let us come together and seek earnestly
the blessing of God.
THE PRESBYTERIAN QUARTERLY
REVIEW, fOR APRIL.
Interesting, readable, and valuable as usual,
No intelligent layman in onr church sbonld be
without it. In the first article, —“ Who is Re
sponsible for the present Slavery agitation?”—
the writer takes an impartial and common sense
view of the subject, dealing out praise'and blame
with even-handed justice to all. The causes
mentioned and discussed are,—-the existence
among ns of such an institution as slavery; the
entirely new ground on which the system is now
defended; the selfish and mercenary motives c?f
many who keep up the agitation; the political
parties; northern presses, secular and religious,
which keep up the slavery agitation for their
own advantage; the interests of trade; and a
practical violation of reciprocal obligations.
To quote from one of our most respectable
dailies : “ The entire spirit of the article is mag
nanimous and free-hearted, and could the prin
ciples of the author prevail, slavery agitation
would be at an end to-day, and liberty and re
ligion would be gloriously advanced.”
The second article, —“Pythagoras,”—is an
examination of the pretensions advanced for the
sage of Croton by the New-Platonistp, in their
controversies with the early Christians. The
reviewer has taken for his text those passages
in Grote’s History of Greece, in which the
usually very cautious historian seems, for some
;reason { to pay nndue regard to the fables of
Porphyry and lambiiehus, concerning their mas
ter. The point is well taken, and an opportu
nity is thus afforded for exhibiting some of the
peculiar excellencies of Christianity as Con
trasted with the beßt attempts of philosophy to
satisfy the religions wants of men.
Article third,—"The American State and
Christianity,”—is a calm and lucid discussion
of a question of present interest. Its spirit is
temperate and tolerant, but firm. The array of
legal opinions, .including such names ag Hon.
John M. Clayton, of Delaware, Chancellor Kent,
of New York, Judge Duncan, of Pennsylvania,
Mr. Webster, in the Girard Will case, and others,
is convincing, and very valuable. The main.idea
of the article is thus presented in the language
of Mr. Clayton: “The distinction is a sound
one between a religion preferred by law and a
religion preferred by the people without the co
ercion of law; between a legal establishment
and a religious creed freely chosen by the peo
ple themselves, and for the full and perfect en
joyment of which, without interruption and dis
turbance, they may claim the protection of law,
guarantied to them by the Constitution itself.”
The application of this principle to the right of
discussion, the freedom of the press, and the
observance of the Sabbath, opens up some in
teresting and. to us. new views of the subject.
We commend the article to the friends of Sab
bath and moral reform, who desire to rest their
efforts for sound legislation upon a proper basis.
Article fourth corresponds more nearly tithe
idea of a review} certain leading works, on the
annihilation of the wicked forming the basis of
: the discussion. The writer adverts to the fact
that the Second Adventists or Millenteß of
nearly twenty years ago instead of renouncing
exploded errors and returning to the chnrch
from whicn they seceded, have almost as a body
become believers and propagandists of the above
mentioned heresy. His exposure of the absurd
and ruinous consequences to which this belief
inevitably tends, is eminently logical, and the
refutation complete. The style is vigorous and
manly, and the discussion seasonable.
Article fifth and last,—"The Insurrection of
the Paxton Boys,”—is an historical study or mo
nograph, already known to the Philadelphia
public as having been read before the' Pennsyl
vania Historical Society. Those who are igno
rant of this singular episode, in the history of
the relations existing between the first settlers
and the aborigines of Pennsylvania, will find in
this article the fullest information, both pn the
matter itself and on a great variety of connected
topics. The facile pen, the versatile mind and
playful fancy, the accurate research, and the
Btrong local and church feeling of the editor,
are manifest in this Sue essay.
Besides a very full and ably treated book-list,
we are pleased to see the feature of Literary
and Theological Intelligence again introduced
into the Review. The present number fully sus
tains the high reputation of the periodical, and
we again cordially recommend it to the patron
age of our readers. r
fjUligiMts
Installation of Rev. Mr. Robbins— Rev. F. L.
Robbins was installed pastor of the Green Hill Church
on Sabbath evening last. Rev. Charles Brown pre
sided and put the constitutional questions; Rev. E.
E. Adams preached the sermon from Luke ii. 14,
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace,
good will toward men;” dwelling upon the idea that
the duty of the church and its ministry was to pro
claim the coming of Christ to men. The charge to
the pastor was delivered by Rev. Dr. Brainerd; and
that to the people by Rev. Dr. Wallace. . These ex
ercises Were Uniformly of a high order. ■ Every "thing
passed off satisfactorily and well, and a good impres
sion was made upph the crowded audience. The
pastor has our cordial wishes-for his success in this
important and growing field of labor.
Noon Ray Prayer Meeting,— Saturday is al
ways specially devoted to prayer for Sabbath School
labors, and much interesting incident generally comes
out on that day. The following remarks'were made
last Saturday.
Sunday Schools. —-I was yesterday conversing with
a lady in this city who had been raised a Hickslte
Quaker-. I’askedher how itJiappened that she had
come into the church of Christ. She said “ she bad
beep requested by a pious friend to allow her chil
dren to go to Sabbath School. After.her little bov had
gone there a short time, h.e said, ‘Ma, why
go to church V He said it quite earnestly, and her
conscience seemed to smite her,' and she resolved to
go as her little son suggested. The Spirit soon sent
conviction to her soul, and she resolved to serve the
Lord'; she communicated the fact to her, husband—
he-tod had been convicted of his sins, and they , both
wdiit together to the session of the church, and soon
were admitted to membership.” That man is a phy
sician, and is now doing what good .be can in his pro
fession, and who can tell the amount of good a pious
physician can do? -See what happy results flow from
that little-boy’s going to Sunday School, or rather
from that pious friend’s asking if'he might go.
West-Point. —l am astrangft- amongst you. I come
from West'Point Academy. The revival has not vi
sited us, there, but there are a few Christian hearts
who still hope and-pray for a blessing. We meet,
some fifty of us, twice a week, half an hour at a time,
to pray for the outpouring of. God’s Spirit. and I ask
yoU to remember us, and join us, as we pray for a
blessing upon the young gathered there. We do not
forget the.children—l superintend a Sabbath School
of the children of the soldiers and workmen, where
fifty or sixty are gathered every Sabbath. We de
sire your .prayers and sympathies, as we feel that -we
are in'a cold and unsympatbizing place. The army
at large also needs your prayers—an officer'in the
army died in your city here a few days ago, and his
sorrowing family stand -especially in need of your
prayers.’ He found" peace in believing, arid” your
meeting here was made- the instrument in bringing
him to a knowledge'of his Saviour. He came, it is
true, only at the eleventh hour.. / . -
In the Cars.—l have 1 just returned from New York
city, where I found the meetings well filled and very
encouraging. In coming over in the cars, I over
heard two gentlemen talking about Jesus. I won
dered if, they would go on talking when the train
stopped at a station, where everybody in the car
cOUld hSir them—we so often talk of Jesus when we
are not apt to be heard—the cars stopped, the con
versation went on, I thanked God for it, and whs en
couraged.
Whitefidd was once stopping at the house of a ge
neral in the army living in Rhode Island; as he was
about-to depart the thought struck him, “ I have not
said anything to this,man -.or his . family specially
about their souls, and it is now l too late.” He turned
tothe window and wrote with hiS diamond ring ;up6n
lie glass, “One thing thou jaokest.” r After he was
i tb “theroSnTanS at once
read the sentence in the window. 11 was as an arrow
to his heart, God blessed it, and he became a con
verted man. - The etching is still there' on that pane
of glass to-day, and Whitefield and the general are in
heaven.
! Young Men's Christian Associations.— The
Seventh Annual Convention of the Confederation of
the Young Men’s Christian Associations of North
America was held in New Orleans, commencing its
sessions ontbe iith ult., and adjourning on the 16th
ulfc., to meet the next year in St, Louis',-Mo.
: There wore present nearly one hundred and fifty
delegates, representing every section of the country,
and <;he entire community of New Orleans seemed to
take an interest in the deliberations of the Conven
tion, largely attending its extra sessions.
Wm. P. Munford of Richmond, Va., was the.pre
siding officer, and Jno. Wanamaker of this city the
pnnoipal Secretary. From facts reported to the
Convention, we learn that there are now in ex
istence, and in active operation, two hundred and five
Young Men’s Christian Associations in this country,
with a total membership of 25,000 young men,'which
in comparison with the statistics presented at the
Convention in Troy, June 1858, shows a large in
crease both in Associations and in membership—at
least five thousand young men have enrolled them
selves in this army since that time. What a mighty
power for good is this if rightly employed. Inter
changes of experience were freely made, and .plans
adopted which we doubt not will tend greatly to ex
tend the usefulness of these excellent institutions—
—that gathering of loving-disciples of the Saviour in
that far off Southern clime cannot but result in good
to Zion.
The Central Committee, having in charge the af
fairs of the Confederacy, has been removed from Rich
mond; Va., to Philadelphia,‘and the following is the
Committee for the coming year.
George H. Stujirt, Jno. W. Sexton, John Wana
maker, 'George Oookman, James Grant. *
Also one person from each state who aidih keeping
the Associations stirred up to continued effort. We
regret our space does not allow us to give a more ex
tended report of this interesting Convention, hut close
our sketch with the following admirable resolutions,
introduced by Mr. Wanamaker of this oity, which
were unanimously adopted: s
Resolved, That this Convention re-affirm the decla
ration of the Troy Convention, that we do not intend
that this institution shall take the highest place in
our affections, Or the-largest share in onr labors, but
that we hold this organization as auxilary to the di
vinely appointed: means of grace—the Chureh, and
the preaching of the Gospel.
Resolved, That the Associations should, in all cases,
carefully avoid in their enterprises, anything that
might interfere with the duties of members to their
respective churches.
Presbytery of Coldwater.— At the recent meet
ing in Hillsdale, Rev. James Knox was installed as
pastor over the church in that place. Rev. George
Duffield, D. D., of the Detroit Presbytery, by invita
tion, preached the sermon; Re v. H. L. Stanley delivered
the charge to the pastor, and Rev. Wm. Fuller to the
people. Accounts of several revivals within the Pres
bytery, added to the interest of the meeting. Among
the places specially named were Coldwater, Three
Rivers, and Parkville. Rev. Wm. Fuller, and Elder
Levi Baxter, were chosen Commissioners to the General
Rev. Elijah Buck and Elder William
McMecbeu, alternates.
A remarkable missionary meeting has been held at
Liverpool, England, which continued for five days, and
was attended by a large number of returned mission
aries, among them Dr. McGowan, an American Mission
ary from China. The d iscussion took a wide range, em
braeing the whole theory and management of missions,
and mituy valuable practical suggestions were brought
out. It was the prevailing opinion that the missionary
operations may be relieved of much of their present
cumbersome machinery, and rendered,more economical
and effective.

Buffalo. —Extract from the minutes of a meeting
of the Session of the First Presbyterian Church of
Buffalo, held April 9,1860.
This being the first Sessional Meeting subsequent
to the removal of our late pastor, Rev. Dr. Thompson,
the following minute was prepared, and the Clerk
was,directed to place it on our records, and transmit
a copy to our late pastor, to wit: ' .
The circumstances under which we are now con
vened; forcibly remind us of the loss we have sus
tained in the removal of our late presiding officer.
We had already in common with the congregation of
whieh we are members painfully, realized the loss of
his accustomed ministrations in the desk. But this
occasion—our present condition—the vacant chair
which he had fbr more than eleven years filled with
such impartiality, dignity, and Christian courtesy,
bring home to our hearts and sympathies more fully
than we can express, the value of what we have pos
sessed, and the loss we have sustained. We shall
ever cherish with pleasure the memory of his official
-intercourse with us as a Session, as well as with us se
verally as individuals. Though ho longer officially
connected, with ur, the bonds of our common friend
ships are not severed. He still has a remembrance,
and a home in our hearts. He carries with him to
his new field of labor our earnest sympathy, and our
ardent desire and prayer is, that the, great Head .of
the Church may make him to those whom be may
hereafter minister what he has been to us, a blessing
and a bond of union. By order of Session.
James Crocker, Clerk.
■I . ■
Rev. Dr. Spear, of Brooklyn .—Many of our
readers, says the Evangelist, are aware that this
excellent and devoted pastor of the South Presby
terian Church, Brooklyn, has been obliged, in con
sequence of impaired health, to suspend his labors
for nearly a year past. For a season, it was feared
that his disease was of a very serious character, en
dangering even his life. But entire rest, giving the
constitution time to recover its tone, has removed this
depressing conviction; and on the 14th inst., he sailed
in the Adriatic for Europe, in company with his sod,
to he absent on the Continent six months.
On the Thursday evening, previous to his departure,
a number of his parishioners waited upon him at his
residence, and; after a pleasant interview and many
hearty wishes for his safe return, in restored health,
one of their number on behaif of the people, presented
him with a purse of gold, containing $1,250, begging
its acceptance, as an expression of sympathy in his
present affliction, and of their-undiminished interest
and attachment. r •
In receiving such a token of love and confidence,
Dr. Spear replied with-much, feeling, alluding tothe
unity, which had ever characterized the people—to the
frequent baptisms of the Holy Spirit—to the gradual
increase of the Church from small beginnings to , its
present position and .usefulness-—to the: lights and
shadows, which had alternated through a pastorate of
seventeen years. The whole scene was interesting, as
illustrating the mutual devotion of pastor and people.
It ought to be stated as a still larger proof of the
liberality of this people, that daring the long period of
the pastor’s disability, his salary has been punctually
paid and his pulpit supplied, and such will continue to
be the case during his absence abroad. Under such
assurances of love and sympathy,,our beloved brother
departs, and we bid him God speed, praying that he
may return fully restored to his wonted health, and
better qualified than ever before, to lead his flock be
side the still waters and into green pastures.
' Testimonials. —At a meeting of the First Presby
terian Church and Society in EUicottville, KF. Y., the
following Preamble and Resolutions were unani
mously adopted, to wit:
Whereas, the Rev. Charles Jerome has requested a
dissolution of the pastoral relation so long and hap
pily existing between us, therefore,
' Resolped, Xhat.in view of the pecuniary embarrass
ments'under which this Church and Society now la
bor, it is but just to Mr. Jerome and his family that
we accede to hib request: while', at the Same time, we
deeply deplore the necessity that sunders the endear
ing ties which nearly six years of faithful labor in the
Lord have interwoven between us.
Resolved, Thai thB self-sacrificing labors of Brother
Jerome in remaining with us so long to his pecuni
ary loss, and our spiritual gain, have placed us under
obligations to him that our feeble language cannot
express; and we earnestly pray the Great Giver *of
all good abundantly to replenish'him with all tempo
ral audspiritualblessings.
. Resolved, That we commend this brother beloved in
Christ, to the churches, as an able preacher and a
faithful-pastor, and we sincerely desire him the best
success wherever God in his providence may call
him to labor; and we tender him, as well in trial
and sorrow as in prosperity and joy, the highest as
surances of our continued affection and esteem.
Resolved, That this action Of our Church and Soci
ety be published in the American Presbyterian and
the N. Y. Evangelist. Dated EUicottville, New York,

Presbytery of lowa City.— The Presbytery of
lowa City has just held its semi-annual session at
Clinton; R&v, L. F. Dudley, Moderator, and Rev. I.
W. Atherton, Temporary, and by subsequent elec
tion on resignation of Rev. S.'Storrs Howe, Stated
Clerk. The churches were weli represented; and the
occasion was one'of some interest and profit. Rev.
Abner D. Chapman of the Presbytery of Franklin,
Ohio, was received as a member, and a commissioner
was appointed to install Rev. I. W. Atherton as pas
tor of the First Presbyterian Church at Cedar Rapids,
which was reported in hopeful condition, and as being
about to enlarge and improve its present chureh edi
fice. The overture of the last Gene: al Assembly in
relation to a Formula of Doctrine was answered by
common consent in the negative. The churches ge
nerally gave, favorable reports of their temporal and
spiritual prosperity during the last half year. The
church at Marengo, of which Rev. Alexander Lemon
is stated supply, had been visited with a gracious re
vival of the Lord’s work, resulting in an accession of
from twenty-five to thirty members, and in a greatly
' improved condition of-the community, as Well as the
strengthening and enoouTageraent of the church. The
churches at Mt.' Vernon and Camanche were prose
cuting, hopefully, the work of erecting new church
edifices;, two otherswere about to make improve
ments; and there was a prospect, through the bless
ing of God on the energetic efforts of its pastor, Rev.
Daniel Clark, that the Chureh at Lyons would be
speedily relieved from financial embarrassment.
The Presbytery appointed as commissioners to the
General Assembly, Rev. George E. W. Leonard and
Elder William Stewart, principals; and Rev. G. D.
A. Hebard and Elder Lysander Jones, alternates.
The following resolutions were passed: Resolved-,
That it is the duty of members of churches and of
ministers in this body to take all proper measures to
suppress the use and sale of intoxicating liquors. '
Resolved, That this Presbytery hereby re-affirm its
confidence in the American Home Missionary Society
and its General Agent for the State, and expresses
the hope that there may be continued co-operation in
the great work of building up the cause of Christ,
which assumes such special importance in this wide
and rapidly developing field of the West.
The Stated Clerk was instructed to send an abstract
of the minutes for immediate publication to the Evan
gelist, the American Presbyterian aud the Central
Christian Herald; and was specially enjoined to in
sert the resolution in relation to the American Home
Missionary Society. - ■

Charleston Contention.— The National Demo
cratic Convention to nominate candidates for the
highest offices of the nation, is in session in Charleston,
and has .been for more than a week.. Hqn. Caleb
Cushing, of Mass., was chosen President of the Con
vention. Perhaps more than the usual tumult and
conflict of discordant opinions/ which characterize
such meetings .are apparent, . The great struggle
seems to be on the: part of ithe South to retain their
ancient ascendency over the Democratic party; and to
force that party stilf farther in a pro-slavei-y direc
tion. A great battle has been fought both in- the
Convention and in Com mittee, on ! the platform: of prin
ciples to be adopted. A majority and two minority
reports have been mase, neither of which, however,
Is likely to satisfy the ultra Southern wing, unless" an
individual pledged to the protection of slavery in the
territories is nominated for the Presidency, the
.contest for the nomination is clearly between such an
.individual and , Stephen A. Douglass,,the champion
of popular sovereignty, or the right of.the: inhabitants
of the territories to settle the question*of slavery for
themselves. :
' Sinee penning the above, we learn that a platform
'has been adopted acceptable- to the friends of Mr.
Douglass, (re-affirming that Cincinnati platform and
sustaining tße Dred Seott decision,) but that the de
legations from Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, -Mo
. rida and-Texsts, with most of those from- Arkansas
and South Carolina, at ones withdrew from the Con
vention, and others were preparing to follow their ex
sample.,. . .....
The brutal prize fight between Heenan, the Ameri
can, and Sayers, the British, pugilists, at length came
off on the 17th of April. It seems tq have been a
drawn battle. Heenan was nearly .blinded, and Say
ers., had an arm badly injured in the conflict. A
contemporary says: “If any other protest against the
practice of pugilism than .the simple account of this
fight be needed, we may, indeed, .despair of , our hu
manity.” Yet it was a spectacle exceedingly humi
liating to witness the eagerness manifested in our
city by'thousands upon thousands of all classes of
society to procure the : earliest and fullest accounts of
the fight issued by the press.
- Death of Lawrence Johnson, Esq.—Lawrence
Johnson, Esq., the well-known type founder and ste
reotyper, died of paralysis at two o’clock; on the
morning of the 26th ult., at his residence at Eighth
and Pine Streets. Mr. Johnson appeared to be in
his usual health on Tuesday morning, and in the
afternoon of that day was taken ill while attending a
meeting of the Board of Directors of the Green and
Coates Streets Railway Company. He was taken
home, and,died as stated.
Mr., Johnson was about sixty years of age at the
time of his death, ; He was an Englishman by birth,
and he emigrated to this country while quite a young
man. The house of L. Johnson & Co. has been, for
many years, the leading establishment in the country
for the supply not only of tjrpe, stereotype plates,
electrotypes, &c., but of every'other article of print
ers’ findings. ' 7 '
Johnson & Co. had a braneh establishment at Cin
cinnati, and their business was as wide-spread as the
Union. Mr. Johnson was also active in private en
terprises. He owned Sansotn. Street Hall, and much
other valuable property, and. he was also largely in
terested in the city railway enterprises; He was very
wealthy at the time of his death, and his success in
life is,attributable to,his industry and strict integ
rity. 7""'*''

MASSACRE IN ROHE.
> There has-been a bloody affray at. Rome. The
streets of the seven-hilled eity have beep deluged with
blood, men liave been cat down, women slashed and
wounded, and infants murdered in the arms of their
mothers. This has not been the work of an insur
rectionary populace of infuriated liberals. The mur
ders have been committed by the Pope’s savage guard
(not the French soldiers; who behaved With hu
manity) upon the unarmed people in the Corso.
The, details of this , massacre, which was unpro
voked, are heart-sickening. A plot was laid to en
trap the people a second time. Placards were issued
calling upon them to rise, and cannons were pre-.
pared in the hope that they would obey and be slaugh
tered. But wise men were on the alert, and met the
conspiracy by, a warning to the intended victims.

Nice, Sunday, April 15, 3P. M.—At 1 o’clock,
P. M., to-day, cut of the total number of 7,000 voters,
5,000 had already registered their votes. The news
from the neighboring comm ones is excellent. The
voting in favor of annexation to France, is unanimous.
An insurrection of ~ a formidable character has
’ broken out in the Sicilies, against the Neapolitan
government. There has been much 'fighting and
Woodshed, particularly at Palermo and Messina, At
last accounts the insurrection was not suppressed,
though the government forces had prevailed to some
extent.
Ihe Pope s Bull, —This document issued from the
Vatican, March 20, 1860, formally excommunicates
all those who hare taken part in the “sinful” insur
rection in the papal provinces, in usurping, occupying
and invading them, as well as those who have been
their warranters, supporters, helpers, counsellors, fol
lowers, those who have connived at executing these
deeds under whatever pretence and in whatever man
ner. It speaks of the adversaries of the Catholic and
-Apostolic See as having made themselves detestable
by their attempts which were characterized by lying,
hypocrisy, and trying ;to deprive the Holy See of its
secular power. ' Inthis language, reference "is doubt
less made to the French .Emperor, who, however, is
only once mentioned in the bull, and then without
any definite accusation. Not so with the king of
Sardinia. He and his government are singled out as
bearing the principal part in “ these mischievous and
perverse in trigues.'’ The Pope, ignorantly or falsely,
we scarcely can decide which, charges the Sardinian
government with obtaining the universal vote in their
favor by force, money, threats, terror, and other cun
ning means. He is hot bold enough, however, to ex
communicate either of the offending princes by name,
heinous as lie may regard their conduct. Meanwhile
we learn that the cabinet of the new Italian kingdom
is to he composed of 3 from Piedmont, 2 from Ito
magna, and one member each from Tuscany, Lom
bardy and Modena.

Dear Sir:—l take great pleasure in being able tp certify
that for the last ten months I have carried a witch from
the manufactory of the American Watch'Company, and
that it has given perfect, satisfaction as a time-keeper.

The American Watch Company— Gentlemen;—I have
worn one of your American watches for the last six
months, and lam greatly pleased with it. It keeps time
to my entire satisfaction.
Wilton BLurk; S. C., Oct. 20th, 1859.
R. E. Robbins, Esq—Dear Sir;—The three watches of
your manufacture which I purchased to be used on my
plantation, have proved to be the most correct time
keepers I: have ever known:; I gave my head servant,
my head carpenter, and my head engineer, each, one of
them; and since they have been in their respective pos
session, every thing on the plantation has moved like
clock-work, in consequence of the extreme accuracy
and regularity with which these watches perform.
American Watch Company, Walthh, Mas^ —I have
tested with extreme care the running of the watch I
bought of you, now nearly a year since, and so accurate
and equable has been its performance, that I have
thought-it would intereHt yon, -amtrail • ottigra-ftmrttlar
with horology, to see a record of its. variations. It was
finally set to true time, after it bad been regulating in
my possession for three months. ,

CAUTION.—As our watch is now extensively coun

the public'that no watch is of our production which is
unaccompanied by a certificate of genuineness, bearing
the number of the witch, and signed by our Treasurer,
