IMPORTANT TO 
WATCH BUYERS 
The WALTHAM WATCH bearing the trade-mark of 
“ Crescent st." meets the requirements of a large class, snclt 
as Travelers, Railroad Men, and others who lead active lives. 
This watch has an extra quick beat, and on this account Is 
not so liable to be disturbed by the constant jar of Railroad 
Travel. It has a Micrometrical Regulator, is adjusted to 
heat and cold, and contains every improvement that expe¬ 
rience has shown to bo desirable. They arc already in use 
on all the leading roads in the country, and arc worn by 
those who require strong as well as accurate timekeepers. 
The Superintendent of one of the Nevada mines writes that 
“YOUR (WALTHAM) WATCHES ARE THE ONLY 
ONES THAT WILL STAND THE SHOCK OF BLASTING. 
WE HAVE IN THIS MINE BOTH FOREIGN AND DIF¬ 
FERENT KINDS OF AMERICAN WATCHES, BUT THE 
WALTHAM WATCH IS THE ONLY ONE ADAPTED 
TO OUR PURPOSE.” 
For sale by all leading jewelers.

How to Purchase a Clothes-Wringer. 
Iu purchasing- a Clothes-Wringer, we prefer one 
with cog-whoels, as they greatly relieve the rub¬ 
ber rolls from 6train that would otherwise occur, 
and add much to the durability of the machine. 
The next point is to see that the cog-wheels are so 
arranged as not to fly apart when a large article is 
passed between the rollers. It matters not whe¬ 
ther the cog-wheels arc on one end or both ends of 
the shaft; if large articles disconnect them they 
are entirely useless. This is very important, for 
the larger the article the greater the strain; 
therefore if the cog-wheels separate so as to dis¬ 
connect, they are of no service when most needed. 
We have taken some pains to examine the various 
Wringers, and much prefer the “Universal,” as 
lately improved, because it has long and strong 
gears (Rowell’s Patent Double Gear), and is the 
only wringer with “ patent stop ” for preventing 
the cog-wheels from separating so far as to lose 
their power.— New England Farmer. 
Having used for many months the kind of wring¬ 
er mentioned above, we fully indorse all that is 
said of it by our New England contemporary.—

BANKING HOTJSE OF FISK & HATCH. 
New York, January 10th, 1873. 
The Chesapeake and Ohio, the Central and Western Pacific Bonds, all of 
which have been negotiated by us, we believe to be among the best and most desirable Investment 
Securities in the market, which in time must become very scarce, especially as the Government will 
probably, during the year, pay off in gold another large lot of Five-Twenties, and issue in their place 
Five Per Cent Bonds. 
The Chesapeake and Ohio Six Per Cent Gold Bonds, the total amount of 
which is only $15,000,000, are secured upon a property worth $35,000,000 to $40,000,000, and are fully 
equal in intrinsic value to the Central Pacific Bonds. They are issued in denominations of $100, 
$500, and $1000, coupon or registered, and at their present market price (86 aud accrued interest) 
are very desirable. 
The Central Pacific Six Per Cent Gold Bonds are too well known to require 
description or commendation. Their total amount is $35,885,000 ; they have for a long time ranged in 
market price near or above par. 
The Western Pacific Six Per Cent Gold Bonds amount to $2,735,000. This 
road is consolidated with the Central Pacific, and the payment of its bonds, principal and interest, 
is assumed thereby. Coupon Bonds, $1,000 each. As they have recently been introduced on the Stock 
Exchange, we expect to see them rapidly rise to the price of Central Pacific's, being substantially 
the same in character and value. 
We buy and sell, as usual, Government Bonds, receive deposits, on which we allow interest, make 
collections, and conduct a general hanking business in all its branches.
