It is a timepiece in the shape of a watch and bear- ing the name of " Joseph Davis, London, 1221." The genuineness of the article is unqueetioned, and its groat valuo lies in the fact nab the earliest record of a pocket thnepiece is 141.14 and is Swiss, Tho Davis watch has been an heirloom of tho Swan family for nearly 200 years. It finally came into the poseession of Frank :swan, one of the family, who lives in Nevada, He did not, appreciate the value of the watch, and gave it to his children to play with, and when Mr. Longalmugh saw it, about fourteen years ago, the hustle had been broken off and ono of the three eases within which the works were enclosed was lost.
