A WATCH LOST AND FOUND. Mr. Willaad J. Parker, proprietor of the Mineral Spring Stook and Pasture Farm, at Junotion City, Kans., writeß in regard to a Waterbury watch :— Fonr years ago I had a boy working for me, and some time in August, 1885, he traded for a Waterbury, aud, boylike, he soratohed bia initials on the baok oaae. Ho lost the watoh in the hayfield the aeoond day after trading for it, and could not find it. A few days sinoe my little girl, while raking hay, aaw something glisten. When the horae and rake had passed over she ran to it, and behold it was a Waterbury. She brought it to me, and there were the scratohed initials, proving it to be the watoh which was lost four years ago. Sinoe the watoh was loat I have made hay on the ground three times, and have had three prairie tiros paes over the watah ; yet when my daughter brought the watch to me I wound it up, and waa surprised to see it begin running, and still more so to find that it keeps aaourate time. I am oarrying the watoh myself. The crystal was craoked, and the owe somewhat tarnished, but otherwise none the worse for wear. The watch is uite a treasure in the family. The ohildren eaoh want to wind the " tioker " as they call it. "VT EWS FROM FIJ (If. LxvnxA, 19th November, 1889. Gentleman,— "Deeiring to expreßa my admiration of the Waterbury Watoh, I place on record the following facts in oonnection therewith that I am personally acquainted with, viz., that for the last two years I have constantly carried a Waterbury, and have always found it to keep excellent time. I have made a point of often comparing it with a £12 12s Waltham and a ship's ohronometer kept by the harbourmaster, and have very rarely fonnd it to differ in reading from either. I oan also state for a fact that Waterburys are worn in preforenoe toothers by several of the moat prominent business men of thia town."— L. Johnston. P.S.— I also time the Bank of N.Z. olook with it. 1 " HALLOA ! WHAT'S THIS P" ' STRIKE. STRIKE. STRIKE.
