hard labor the flames were kept under and ex-

A Town CLocK.-Throughout the
country to the Eastward, and especially New
England. nothing is more common than town
clocks. Every village, every borough. every
city, have their clocks enc or more There Is
no more striking feature than this, and We can.
not conceive why there should be a scarcity
Of public time keepers in our Western csun-
try, seeing that the inhabitants are generally
from the East and bring an attachment to
their customs v it'll them.
We have several fine bells in Davenport.
The one on st. Marguerite's Church is fine and
ful!-toned, and that in connection with the Con-
gregAtional Church is scarcely infs ior. Either
would be fit to be annexed to a town clock, if
public spirit enough could be mustered to have
the proper clockwork procured.
Nothing is more pleasant to stranger-and,
in fact. to q resident-than the regular noting
of the hour by splendid bell In the still
hours Of night there is something in the sound
which seems to seal more completely the bond
Of attachment to place. A little spirit on the
part Of our population would produce the re-
suit Of having the time publicly noted. but no
spirit at all will permit US to 60 on year after
year without anything of the kind, let it be
ever 90 convenient and necessary.

GRIswoLD CoLLEGE.-We learn that
the efforts Of Bishop LIE. in raising funds for
this Institution. have thus far been highly sue
cessful. His duties have called him home from
the East for short time, but he is soon to re.
turn there to continue the work in viii n he
has been engaged during the Winter. We are
pleased to know that there is every prospect
Of entire success in due time
most complete and beautiful set of Maps
haye recently arrived for the use Of the Col
lsge. and the philosophical apparatus is daily
expected. Library has been commenced.
and we are requested to hint to our citizens
the desIrableness of contributions of books for
its increase. Most persons aud families hav e
books that would be useful in such al Insttu-
ton, which can be easily spared, and it is
hoped that many will help on the good work
in this way. The Rev. Mr. Judd. Principal OF
the preparatory echool, will receive any euch
contributions, either at the College or at his
residence on the College grounds
We trust that our citizens generally will do
all in their power to place the College on a
firm basis, and to make 1t q praise and
blessing to this community, and to our whole
State.

WAsuISsrOS, Feb. ls.-Op, February 22d
it is proposed that there shalt be an effort
made throughout the United States to raise
sufficient funds to carry on the work upon
the Washington National Monument dur
ing the coming year. Citizens in every
part of the country can contribute through
the Postmasters Of their respective towns.
About one thousand Postmastcrs have
boxes for the purpose placed in their OH
ccs and have raised within The last four
months moro than $4,000. There are
nearly 90, 900 Postmasters who have not
been heard from and it is to he hoped that
they will cooperate with the others. II
they will consent to do SO, and If their
offices average only dollar and a half per
year or shilling per month, the work can
he kept in progress. A very slight effort
made in each place throughout the country
would ensure the completion of the mon
ument in very few years.

NEW YORK, Feb. Is.-Three thousand
persons attended the Italian sympathy
meeting last night The proce :dings were
quite enthusiastic. Speeches were made
by the Rev. DIR. Bellows, Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher. Rev. DIR. Thompson, Prot. King,
Prof. Mitchell, and others. Letters were
read from John a. Dix, Chas. Sumner, G.
5. billiard, Geo. Briggs, +. Joy Morris,
Benz. Silliman, and others.
The Tribune says the agreement between
Commodore Vanderbilt aud the Pacific
Mail Company, had not been actually
signed at " late hour this p. ~, but there
were only few important details to ar
range, and little doubt was felt that the
signatures of both parties will be attach
eli tonight. The only question, VIZ be-
lieve unsettled was that of the division OF
the treasure freightS between the Atlantic
and the Pacific Companies. Mr.. Wander
bilt demand $50 per cent. This, however,
only involves the question of some $780,
900 per annuIn, and is not likely to break
up the negotiations.
The scheme of the arrangement, as far
rs made public, is substantially as stated.
The Pacific Nail Company buy the VAN
darbilt boats on the Pacific, with the ex-
ccption of tho Champion, tor $75O,OOO, of
which $500, 900 is to he paid in Pacific
mail stock at par, and $25O,oOo in cash.
The Champion is either to be taken by the
Pacific Mail Company in exchange for the
St. Louis or for $l5O,OOO in cash. Mr..
Vanderbilt is to be paid $4,000 to bring
her back to the Atlantic. The Vanderbilt
and Roberts steamers are to do the whole
Atlantic service. and the Nail Company
the service on the Pacific. The revenue
of the line is to be divided go per cent to
the Atlantic, and 10 per cent to the Paci-
fic, with the exception of the freight treas
urc. 1t is proposed to put passenger fares
back to the old rates, but they will be
materially advanced. 1t is believed that
by this combination of the interests of
| Commodore Vanderbilt and the Mail Com
.pany, q very profitable business will be
done, without danger of any opposition
line being established.
Lane, the dcfHulting teller of the Fulton
Bank, has been convicted.
Geo. Wilkes, editor of Wakes Spirit OF
the Times, sailed for Europe, to-day, in the
City of Washington, to report the Derby
