BELLE.

a.
The people Of North Hydepark are mo-
wing for large new bell for one of their
churches If We are not moving little
more quickly in this shire VIC shall be
sdistanced by our more retired friends in
this matter. We much need good, deep
toned bell--one which will add some
thing to the gravity Of funeral occasion.
The old COW. bell we now toll to announce
that "another soul has gone out, always
brings with its cracked din sensation Of
increduity, which almost prompts one to
give it The lie. Its well enough to ring,
to call the acicLed to the halls Of justice,
or to clnng for a Gre alarm but the idea
of toNing such an old cracked clevis for a
departed spirit, Or even to chime it for
living mortals to coma to prayer on a
quiet Sabbath morn, is sacyilcgious.
"a, A bell, weighing 1000 pounds, With
hangings complete, and tolIing hammer,
can be had Of Messrs. Davis & Toulmin,
New York for $465. we believe there is
no bell in the county weighing more than
1900 pounds. and bell Of the latter
weight, of the old bell metal, would cost
much more than the above figures. The
genainc Amalgam Bells are becoming
very popular, and are, without doubt, the
cheapest good bells now made. The
manufacturer says; "Not bell has failed
in the last Is months" Every bell is
warranted for one year, and if it fails in
that time, by fair ringing, new one is
given in exchange for it. Several Of our
liberal citizens have already offered s25
each towards such a bell and we presume
the amount could be easily raised.

beautiful lines The Bells" from the
last stanza of which We quote: .ss7ar
