To. those raoro youthful tho triumphs of electrioity have not yet lost the keon edgo of novolty, and tho telegraph,' tolophono, microphone, and tho electric light: stand as shining beacons to mark tho marvellous progress of the' nincteonth century. Tho general impotus which tho irivontive genius of tho ago has givon.to tho arts and seienees Is •strikingly illustrated by tho wonderful improvements in the manufacturs of Watches. S. E. COOPER can now sell for a comparatively trifling sum, Watchos that for gonoral oxcellonco could not have boon produced for twico tho money only a J> few years ago. Thoso sceptical as to thia , assertion should inspect his stock, which is not only tho largest and most varied in Hawke's Bay, but does not contain a single specimen of tho "Brummagem" goods . which English cheapjacks try to palm upon colonial buyers, using tho po3t-offlco and stilted "coupon" announcements to deceive the, unwary^ Every sensible man knows that the best way to get a good Watch 1 is to purohosOjfrom a rohablo ' . Tradesman, and that to .trust to birds of passage, or to purveyors of puffed-up glm- - cracks mado for the fancy shops of Houndsditch, is simply to mv i to loss of monoy and much vexation.
