fJIHB REASON FOE IT. A gentleman who has not long since returned from Maitland tolls a pleasant story of a visitor he met there who was the possessor of a newlypurchased watch, which he has made strenuous efforts to regulate hy what is known in the ancient city as “ the town time.” This time is kept in Maitland by the Post Office clock at one ' corner of a street and the Telegraph Office clock at the other; but the one is regulated by the timeball at Honolulu and the other by the chronometer with which Noah navigated the ark. With a varying difference of from two to four degrees of longitude between the opposite street corners, the disgust of the watch-owner culminated in the discovery that both oltwks . were a standing joke through the district. His ' “ Waterbury ” had been regulated before it left the factory, and kept exact time, as all Waterburys do, thus exhibiting one of its main superiorities. Price 13s Cd.
