NAE DOOT.
There is generally a few minutes' difference between the Town Hall time and that of the clock at the Colonial Bank; 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 expense and attention naturally follows. The only horological instrument so far that never varies is the Waterbury Watch, which, possesses less than half the mechanism of a Swiss or Englieh watch, is not liable to disorder, and in case of accident can be repaired for the nominal sum of half a crown. This wonderful watch, faithful to its trust, ticks on, year in and year out, with an accuracy as certain and implacable as fate.
