The weather was excellent and the cheerfulness was kept up bv the enlivening strains from the Durham Band the Society had the wisdom to engage for th_e occasion. The grounds are being gradually improved and in a. few years will be an ideal pleasure resort, Few townships show a more progressive spirit of enterprise in respect to ball and rrounds. Shed accommodation for stock and pan try and a fence around the “ ring” would improve things, but these will all come in due time. Secretary Petrie, and thin W. J. Sharp are most efficient oflicers and the press owes much to these gentlemen for their assistance and courtesy m_g_n'mg mfoxfmation. The press is always well represented.

Any number of tunes may be played or the organ can be taken out of the timepiece and used in the usual way. There are two alarms to this wond- erful timepiece, one can be set to sound the alarm at any time desired, the other to tell when the driving weight is about to run down. In a small cabin at the right side of the} case stands a miniature figure repre- senting an Italian with hammer in hand, so adjusted as to strike hours on a cathedral gong. The inventor and maker of this, probably the greatest curiousity of the age, intends to take it to the Paris Expo- sition. This invention is in the hands of the Patent Solicitor and! will undoubtedly be patented. Mr. Smith has already secured three orders and will no doubt make a handsome recompense for his labors. â€"-DOI{N()CII COR. places and deputy returning ofiicers at next 0 M gnigxpgl election “:exfe duly passe_d_. _â€"rww w-v‘vv-Vu "V.U ““5, W5 ”Council adjourned to meet at Efmwood on 15th Dec. next according to statute.

Mr. Smith is in his 87th year which makes his master-piece, which he has labored for nearly a. year at, the more remarkable. To describe it. fully is beyond our power, so we will give a partial one. It is a clock which stands in a walnut case seven feet high and has eight dials, each dial can be set to indicate different times, namely : school time, church time, railroad time or the time at any place in any country; it tells the seconds, minutes, hours, day of week, day of month, month of year. These dials are governed by one main dial and it is an impossibility for them to vary even a second. Each dial can be set separately inde- pendent of all the others. Above this circle of dials is a semi-circle which revolves around and on which is clearly‘ depicted an evening scenery. The new moon shous itself rising seemingly in the east it increases in size till it reaches the top of the circle, h 1(- ' moon and so I down to Eh 'ssap' vâ€"o-og.“ ”.he 'later is inserted five minutes before the arise and sunset. this ight to which is attach- usual way. this wond- be set to LOWER TOWN.
