Al New AND SINGULAR CLocK.-We
have seen and examined very singular
piece of mechanism in the form of a
clock or time piece, invented and manu-
featured by DR.. w. H. Stanson, Practl
cal Dentist. Il VIII keep the time Of
day, days Of the week, days Of the month,
and also the name Of the month. But
the most peculiar feature is, it keeps the
odd days of the month, and also leap
year and the odd minutes Of every moon,
SO that it never requires setting. This
We believe, has never been done with
any other time pieces made III this coun-
try. The striking properties are no lie $
remarkable.
On either side Of the temple is a door,
and at the h, ur for striking the figure OF
a Knight fully equipped in his panoply'
walks out OF the door, which immediate
ly closes again, on a semicrcular area,
and when in front of the temple lifts his
hand and strikes very distinctly the hour
OF the day; he then resumes his circuit,
and when he approaches the other door
it opens for bis ingress, and then closes
as soon as he gets iato the inner Court.
There are several other unique matters
connected with this ingenious piece Of
mechanism which we cannot notice at
this time.
DR.. Stanson never turned piece OF
brass or steel until he attempted this
work. He planned and worked out its
intricate combinations without assistance
and mas made The whole Of the structure
with his own hands mostly at night.

From The Neto Bedford Mercury.
The GrinneIi Expedttiou.

| New Bedford may well be proud of her sons
| many of whom have done her honor and rendered
disting guished service To the State. Among others
who deserve to be cherished in the memories of all,
are the brothers Grinnel, who, having become emi-
nent merchants, have also acquired reputation in
other departments of usefulness. Mr.. Moses H.
Grinnoll has represented the cityof New York in
Congress. Mr.. Joseph Grinnell is at the present
time popular and efficient Representative in that
body. MIR. Henry Grinneli has not been ambitious
political honors but has been content To build up
high reputation an enterprising, skiiiul, and
upright merchant. The recent act of munificence
OF the latter has given him world wide renown.
His brother in New York has long been known by
his princcly liberaty, both in his immediate sphere
Of action and in behalf of the benevolent objects OF
the day; but Mr.. Henry Grinne has entered upon
wide field of human enterprise IL is indeed
beautiful spectacle TO behold private citizen fitting
a subject OF foreign power, who has perllled and
perhaps lost his life in undertaking to add to our
knowledge of the earth which live. Sir
John Franklin, the famous navigator, has been
missing for a very long time, and no udings have
reached the civilized world showing in what part Of
the frozen regions he may be found. Yet, looking
at the matter with the eye of faith and hope
thy of city has undertaken to tit out
pedition TO go in search OF him. He has sent out
forlorn hope, with only mere chance Of relieving
the lost Englishman and his gallant companions.
But although such is the principal object OF this phi
anthropc movement, there is secondary object in
view of great Importance To the whole civilized
world. The expedition directed to make sci
entiic observations and benefit the world by their
discoveries. Whether Sir John Franklin be found
not, there is little doubt that the admirably con-
trived expedition fitted out literally by Mr..
Henry Grnnell, will be of great service to man
kind. We await tidings of the brigantines com
manded by De Haven and Griffin with intense
anxiety, and none who have human hearts can fail
to take deep interest in the perilous voyage in
those little vessels and to wish them Good speed.
