HAPPENING in at the store of O.W Owen a few days since we were shown a fine chronometer, which he had just brought out froitt4he city. These are rery tine and expensive time keepers, and are very seldom found outside of the city. Mr. Owen's principal reason for bringing this one out was to regu­ late the old English'elock, which he is the owner of. This clock is new ovqr one hundred years old, and is indeed a rare relic, and Mr. Owen informs us that it will keep as good time as any of the modern makes. It Is a great curiosity and ono that relic hunters would pay a large amount to possess. It will pay anyone to call at his store and see II. As Mr. Owen will keep this chronometer here but a short time, our citizens will do well to call at his store and get their watches regulated oy it. They never, will have a better oppor­ tunity.
