46.1,5 Df Our Cfptulir,s, —Rev. J. Garland Hamner, lata pastor of the Wharton Street Church, has gone with his family in pursuit of health to spend the summer among the . Mountains of Western Maryland. On the evening before his departure a number of his people called to take leave of him; and as an expression of their love, presented him with a purse containing two hundred and fifty dollars, together. with a copy of the following Resolutions beautifully engrossed and framed. Whereas, The 'pastoral relations here tofore exiiiting.between the Rev. J. Qar land Hamner and the . people of this church have, at his special request and desire, been, dissolved by Presbytery, and as he now takes, his departure from among us, Therefore be it Resolved, That it is with the pro foundest grief that we part with one who, in his ministry of five years, has endeared himself to ,the great majority of his flock by his universal courtesy as a gentleman, kindness as a pastor, and earnestness as a minister of Christ. Resolved, That the present spiritual and pecuniary prosperity of this church is due, in the largest .measure, to his ex ertions; but for his untiring energy in regard to its. worldly affairs and zeal for its spiritual welfare, it could not possibly have attained to its present position. Resolved, That for the future welfare of himself and amiable wife, the prayers of this people will ascend to Him who directs the destinies of all His creatures for their best interests; especially will we pray Him for a speedy restoration of His servant's health, that he may again be permitted to enter the field, and labor for the salvation of man. Resolved, Thiq a copy, of these Reao lutions be properly engrossed, signed, and presented to Mr. Hamner as a token of our esteem for him as our pastor and friend, and in acknowledgment of what he, under God, has done for us as a Church.

A record of the watches produced at the Waltham Manufactory may be not improperly prefaced with a brief mention of the considerations which induce us to press them upon the attention of intelligent watch buyers. Fifteen years' enc;:essful experience justifies uc in claiming for the Waltham Watches peculiarities of ex cellence which place them above all forei n rivalry. The system wh.ch governs their construction is their most obvims source of merit. The sub.titution of ma chinery for bend labor has been &Mowed not only by greater simplicity, but by a precision in det,il, and ac curacy and uniformity In their time-keeping qualities, which by the eld methods of manufacture are unat tainable. The application of machinery to match-making has, in fact, wrought a revoluti n in the main feature s of the businees. In coniunction with enlarg el power of production, it h..e enabled us to secure the smoothness and certainty of movement which proceed from the perfect adaptation of every piece to its place. Instead of a feeble, sluggish, variable action, the balance, even under the pressure of the lightest main-spring, vibrates with a wide and free motion. The several grades of watches have mere than a general resemblance each to its pattern ; they ere perfect in their uniformity, an d may be bought and sold with entire confidence as to the qualities we assign to them, These general claims to soperiority are no longer contested. 4n English watchmaker, in a recent lecture before the Horological Institute of London, describing the result of two months' close observation at the va rious manufactories in the 'United States, remarks in referenct. to Waltham: "On leaving the factory, I felt that the manufacture of watches on the old plan was gone." Other foreign makers, some of them eminent, have publicly borne the game testimony. They admit that the regatta aimed at in Europe by slow and co-tly proceases are here realized with greater certainty, with an almost aSsolute uniformity, and at a cost which more than compensates for the difference between manna/labor in the Old World and the New. But we assert for the Waltham Watches more than a gener I superiority. •Theinadvantages, in respect of quality and price, over English and Swiss watches, are not more marked than are their advantages over the products of other American manufactories. These are pAitive in their character, and are tho natural conse quences of the Precedence we acquired in the trade, and the proportions to which our manufactory has attained. No industrial law Is better established than that which cheapens the cost of an article in proportion to the Inn nittitie of its production. The extent of our establish - ment-the combination of skilled labor on an extensive scale, with maeltinery perfect and ample—enable us to offer watches at lower rates than tho,e of any other manufacturer. The aggregate . of profit is the end 1. opt in view—not the profit on any single watch. An!, act ing on this principle, with reduced cost of proinedou and an aver widening demand, our watches are offered at prices considerably below the watches of other Amer ican makers, comparing quality. with quality. Our an nual manufacture is double that of all ether makers iu this country combined, and 'much larger than the en tire manufacture of England. The conditions which makes this cheapness pos-ible are also . favorable to the excellence of our work. Our artisans long ago ceased to be novices. Time and effort, under a superintendence which combines the subtlethr of science with the strength of practical skill, have pro duced a body of artisans whose efficiency is for the time pre-eminent. We have the best workers in every de partment that are available--workers whose expertne:s and experience would be alone sufficient to at cu-e fur Waltham its high position. Among oth,r tributary causes, may be stated the, readiness with which each succeeding invention and improvement has been teste, and if approved, a !opted. We are always ready to ex amine whatever experience, or art, or ski:l may suggest, but we. adopt nothing until experiments have demon strated its excellence. Ia pursuance of this rule, we have brought to our aid all 'the mechanical improve ments and valuable inventions of the last fifteen years, whether home or foreign in their.origin. We have thus acquired the exclusive possession,ot the best and most valuable improvements now known in connection with wateh-making, and secured for the Waltham factory a force and completeness not shared by any similar es tablishments in the world. • These constant efforts to perfect in all ways, and by all means, both - the machinery of the factory and the construction of our watches, have placed within our means the production of a greater variety in grade and finish than other American makers have attempted In the manufacture of very floe watches we have no com petitor in the United States and only very iew in Eu rope. ,The various styles of these watches have und. rgone the severest trials la the service of Railway Engineers, Conductors and RkpreSstnen, the most exacting class of watch 'wearers, and the presence of over 400,000 Wal tham Watches in the pockets of the people is the best proof of the public app. oval, add must be accepted as conclusive of their superiority by discriminating Watch buyers, especially so since the Important matter of price is also very greatly In favor, being at least twent3 - five pet ceut. cheaper, quality tor quality, than those made elsewhere in the United States.
