Time’s Ticker.

We have shown an old silver watch by Mr. Charles Howard, that, besides being a good substantial piece of property, has a good record of over a hundred years. It belonged to the father of the late Felix Franklin, and has passed down to its present owner. Mr. Felix Franklin at his death, was near a hundred years old and carried the watch for a long time. It is a quaint old piece of antiquity, very large, with thick projecting crystal that looks something like a bull’s eye lantern. In old times when a watch was repaired the jeweler would place his “imprint,” or card inside the case, printed on a piece of paper the size of the case. This watch has three or four of these. Mr. Mountcastle, who is authority on the subject, says there is probably but one other piece of mechanism of the kind in the section. It keeps good time and bids fair to record the millennium.
