MEssRs. EDTORs-I am pleased TO see through the
columns of the Daily Necs, that an interest is
ifesting itself in regard Town Clock. 1t is true
that the munifcent gift of Mr.. Howard, towards our
public schools requires that clock shall be erected
in the Howard building which have no doubt our
City Council viii take the necessary steps TO pro
cure.
The correspondent Of the Netos is slightly mistaken
in sruposing the clock work on exhibition at the
Fairgl >unds TO be fsoo clocks 1t is only clock,
made in 4 JPlRrs-one for time-keeping, the other
for striking the hours. This is found tobe a great
Improvement in clock machinery for public purpo-
ses, as it not only relieves the time part from all
unnecessary strain and vibrations and consequently
allows it to operate with more exactness, but it per-
mtstke striking part to be made much stronger and
in proportion to the far greater power that is trans
mitted through its parts.
The clock on exhibition is of the largest size and
is capable of running ias Of ten feet dirmeter and
OF bringing the flH tone IA any bell up to ten
Thousand pounds weight
1t is constructed ON strictly scientific principles,
with dead beat escapement, having due regard to
isoehronism in the motion of the pendulum and is
warranted to keep correct time. 1t has maintain
ing power. so that no time is lost during winding
pivot hOcs arc al 80 NAiSeA
can be taken out to clean or repair without even
taking down the frame work. The pallets are jew
eled and every part highly finished 1t is capable
of driving the additional machinery requredfo for IL
ILLUMINATED dials and can be made to inside dials
on each floor Of hotels soROOl-bOuses or other large
buildings simultaneously with those outside, and SO
insure uniformity Of time throughout the estab
hshment
Now as there is a proposition before the City
Council from sundry fremen and citizens TO erect
watch tower, in which to keep Waterman, day
and night, to prevent 40 large an number of
false alarms and also give the proper direction in
case of frs. could net araingment be made with
the Masonic Fraternity to build tower Of SUI
feien, size for tBe above purpose also to contain
large bell Of sn cent dimensions to be heard at the
remortcst part of town. The same bell could be
used fos a clock of the above description, and the
lsition and heIght Of the building, max it the most
desirable point in the oity for those purposes.

DEVOTION HELPS INTELLECTUAL knowledge
relates more or less directly TO the character
and works of Go6. All the sciences are de-
velopments of his attributes. Astronomy,
mathematics, natural and mental philoso
ply sc, are but so many ways in which
the laws of Gods great empire is made
known to US. The child at school learning
the simplest combination of numbers, aud
the philosopher who scars TO the sublimest
height of science, are alike conversant with
the works of God. The intellect of the one
may be 10 the other as hafa dozen rays TO
the full beams OF the sun J but yet, it is
what God is, or what God has done, that
occupies the attention of both.
Now, as it is Gods works that occupy the
intellectual powers, so it is most reasonable
10 suppose that those who come TO the study
of these works, or, in other words, engage
in any intellectual pursuits, if they bring a
right state of heart towards God, will enjoy
peculiar advantages for success. The mind
being in happy harmony with Him will
move with vigor and power. A cheering
sense of his favor will animate it. Each
intellectual attainment is a new discovery oi
a Being chosen already as the hearts su.
prone good it is the perception of some
new and lovely feature in the face of "a friend
"Bessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God.o
