A CLoCK.-Mr. J. III. HAYES, resident
of our village, has just received patent
for newly-invented calendar Clock, I"
which is, beyond all doubt, very ingeni-
Gus and convenient article. The clock will
run for one year without winding or set
ting, and, in addition to its value as cor
rect time-piece. its calendar exhibits the
month, the day of the month, the day of
the week, and the year. The machinery
of the clock is simple, and its movements
are strictly accurate. It's designation Of
the day of the month is surprising. For
the months having but 80 DAYS it denotes
that number, and so for 81 days, while for
February it points to only %, except for

Coop TAsrB.-The following very hap
py and equally true sketch is from the Lon
don Quarterly:
"You zee this lady turning a cold eye to
the assurances of shopmen and the RECON-
menda:ion of mflliners. She cares not how
original a pattern may be if it be ugly, or
how recent a shape If it be AWKWARD
Whatever fashion dictates, she follows of
her own, and is never behind it. She
wears very beautiful things Which people
generally suppose to be brought from Par
is, or at least made by q French millinery
but which, as often are brought from the
nearest town and made up by her own
maid. Not that her costume is either rich
or new-on the contrary, she wears many
a cheap dress, but it is always good. She
deals in no gsudy confusion of colors.
nor does she affect studied sobriety but
she either enlivens you with spirited con-
