Mb. Wiixard J. Paekee, proprietor of the Mineral Spring Stock and Pasture Farm, at Junction City, Kans., writes in regard to a Waterbury watch : Four years ago I had a boy working for me, and some time iv August, 1885, he traded fora Waterbury, and boy-like, he scratched his initial c on the back case. He lost the watch in the hayfield the second day after trading for it, and could not find it. A few days aince my little girl while raking hay saw something glisten; when the'bonte and rake had passed over, Ehe ran to it, and behold, it was a Water bury. She brought it to me, and there were the sof-Ultu initials, provingit to be the watch v> ;h was losb four years ego. Since the ■crsich was losfc, I have Made hay on the ground three times and Lave Ead tbre? prairie fires pass over the iraScb'T ye f> when my daughter brought the witfUii to ins, 1 woui d it up and was surtyijijud tc see it begij running, and still jaore so to find that it jeeps accurate time.
