MYsrnmous BELL Rlseise.--We
find the following In the editorial
columns of that reliable journal.
the Providence [ X. IL Journal.
Thursday evening, the door bells
at the house Of q well known citi.
zen commenced ringing violently,
and continued at intervals Of some
three hours. So annoying did the
riDning become, that tho wire Of
one bell was detached, and the
other bell was muiIled by being en-
velopcd In q napkin. The pbcnom.
enon was Witnessed by several per
sons, thoroughly examined every
part of the bell apparatus, but
could discover no cause which tend
TO throw any light upon the occur
renee. The wires were accessible
in the whole Of their course, and
did not pass into the cellar or any
where else to render it possible
that q trick was being played by
having q string or wire attached
in some secret place TO be pulled
by q person concealed in the house
or any place adjoining. The knob
or belLpull passed through the
door casing as is usual, and was
attached 10 the semi-circular d.

TO another director, and thence

Into the room occupied by the fami-
ly. One gentleman present took
hold Of the knob and held IL firmly ;
he says there was much force ex-
erted to move the knob while he
held it, and that he distinctly felt
a power attempting to pull it. AS
soon as he let go, the bell would
begin TO move, and flew rapidly
backwards and forwards as though
some one pulled, and then suddenly
let go. He held the knob several
times, and in every instance with
the same result. At the same
time, the bell would ring by Q mo
vement communicated to the wire
between the first and second d.
rector. One gentleman present at
tempted to seize the wire, and Of
soon as his hand approached it the

ringing would cease, and the other
bell commence ringing again. He
tried this repeatedly. and IN every
instance the motion would cease In
the one, and commence in the
other. The same was true Of other
parties.

On the present occasion, her father

DEATH or LADY BYRoS.--We learn
by the Glasgow chat on the II inst,
Lady Byron, the widow Of the great
poet, died in London, in the sixty-sixth
year Of her age. She was born in
1894, and was the only daughter and
heir Of Sir Ralph Milbanke Noel,
Baronet. In 1856 she succeeded to
the barony of Wentworth. She was
married to Lord Byron.in lsl5-the
union proving, as is well known. most
unhappy to both husband and wife,
and be lived with his wife only some
thirteen days. Their only child,
ada, sole daughter Of my house and heart"
was married to Earl Lovelace, and
died eight years ago. The marriage
of Byron with Miss Milbanke was
one prompted by motives of interest

at the time q successor to Mr..
Brown, was elected by the Board,
that the election was a valid one

Brown could have surrendered his
stewardship, with a grace, which
his eiectment by the law, has de-
prived him of. Suits for Office and
the writ Of mandamus, have become
go common Of late, that we believe

loose on any one, who may come (;

was engaged abroad, TO come here
