WATCH -MAKER Tliis epitaph is said to be a faiths ful copy from a tombstone in the cemetery of Llwadlwfwdl. Such a name as this could come from nowhere but Wales, and the won- der is how the people who were obliged daily to pronounce such names ever found time to do any- thing else. "Here lies, in a Horizontal posi- tion, the outside case of George Rutleigh, watchmaker, whose abilities in that line were an honor to his profession. Integrity was themain spring and prudence the re, gulator of all the actions of his lite. Humane, honest and indust, rious, his hands never stopped until he had relieved distresses. He had the art of disposing of his time in such a way that he never went wrong, except when set going by persons who did not know his key,: and even then was easily set right again. He departed this life December 4, 1811, wound up in the hope of being taken in hand by his Maker throughly cleaned, regulated and repaired, and set agoing in the world to come." BIRTHS.
