CURIOUS RlNG.—There is now in the pos-
session of Mr. HoisisoN of this city, watchmaker, a sin-
gularly engraved and antique funeral ring. It is of a very
large size, and is what is called a thumb ring. A piece
of glass is set in the gold, in the form of a coffin, within
which appears a skeleton, accurately and very minutely
engraved. Around the ring is also engraved a larger
skeleton, the workmanship of which is curious ; there are
likewise several other emblems of mortality, as the hour-
glass, &c., and the motto " Memento mot i." Within is
inscribed the line, " Prepare to follow J. CRASWELL,
1728,"- York Herald,
