Nae Doot.
♦ There is generally a few minutes' differ* encebetween the Town Hall time and that of the clock at the Colonial Bank; but then that is not to be wondered at, because I the best chronometers vary and require frequent rating. Where mechanism of a t delicate and extremely complicated nature | is employed to product* a given result a great deal of expense and attention naturally follows. The only horological instrument, bo far, that never varies is the Water- ; bury Watch, which, possessing less than half the mechanism of a Swiss or English watch, is not liable to disorder, and in case of accident can be repaired for the nominal snm 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.
