convent in Montreal, last week. P. S.
—Ladies who take the veil_ are always
said to be beautiful, but we do not be
lieve it. On the contrary, we guess

who wouldn't have them. If, by any
mistake or rather whim, any one some
what pretty shduld happen to get into a
convent, they always flee from it after a

women and boys. Such watches are comp n .
sed of several hundred pieces, screwed and tin.
ited together, and require constant repairs to
keep them in any kind or order. All persons
who have carried ancres," " lepines"
Is English Patent Levers," are perfectly and
well
aware of the truth of this statement.
At the beginning of out entetprise, tone
than ten ten years ago, it was our first inject
to make a thoroughly good low priced watch
far the million, to take the place of these fur
eign impositions; the refuse of foreign facto.
ries, which were entirely unsaleable at bows
and perfectly worthless everywhere.
ll=
How well well we have accomplished this,
may be understood from the fact that atter so
many years of public trial, we now make more
than halt of all the watches sold in the United
States, and that no others have ever given such
universal satisfaction. While-this depot meet
of our business is continued with increased fa.
cilities for perfect work, we are at prevent en.
gaged in the manufacture of watches of the
very highest grade known b Chronometry, un
eaqualled by anything hitherto made by our.
selves, and unsurpassed by anything made in
the world. For this purpose we have the am
plest facilities. We hays erected an addition
to our main building, and have filled it with
the best workmen in our service. New ma.
chines and appliances have been constructed
which perform their work with consummate
delicacy and exactness. The choicest and
most approved materials only, are used, and
we challenge comparison between this grade
of our work and the finest imported cronome
ter& We do not pretend to sell our watches
for less money ti.an foreign watchers, but we
do assert without fear of contradiction that
for the same money our product is incompara
bly superior. All our watches, of whatever
grade, are fully warranted, and this warrantee
is good at all times against us or our agents in
all parts of the world.
CAUTIOW.—The public are cautioned to Ot
only of respectable dealers. All persons sell
