NAE DOOT.
There is generally a few minutes difference between the Town Hall time and that of clock at. the Now Zealand Insurance Buildings ; but then that is not to be wondered at, because the best chronometers vary and require frequent rating. Where mechanism of a delicate and extremely complicated nature is employed, to produce a given result a great deal of exjjense and attention naturally follows. The only horolojncal instrument so far thatnever varies is the Waterbury Watch, which, possessing less than half the mechanism of a Swiss or English watch, is not liable to disorder, and in case of accident can be'repaired for the nominal sum of half-a-crown. This wond.erful vvatch, faithful to its trust, ticks on year in and year out, with an accuracy as certain and implacable as fate.
