A correspondent of the Buffalo Adrer-

A correspondent of the Buffalo Adrer-
tiser writes as follows:
This afternoon was deeply interested
in witnessing wonderful piece of mech
anism in the form of a clock. 1t is the
ingenious contrivance and make of Mr..
A. o. Morrill,, of this city. His extra
time for the last fourteen years has been
devoted to its perfection, and it is indeed
the wonder of the age. The space neces-
sary to display its capacity and operation
is nine feet by eighteen feet. 1t runs 8
days, and performs as follows: 1t wakes
up a household; strikes the quarters by
four automatons on four bells sounds the
alarm to awaken the master of the house;
lights lamp, and kindles a fire in the
stove. A carriage is seen coming along
mountain road, calls at place of business
and gets clock, left for repair. The bell
is rang to awaken the servant, who rises
in the presence of the audience and draws
the curtain of her chamber to make her
toilet. The carriage is again seen upon
the road; when near rocky covert,
robber springs in front of the horses, and
fight ensues. A farmer boy, by tho
roadside, not seeing the robber, commenc-
es to belabor the horses, when hunter in
the distance comprehends the situation and
fires his rifle at the robber, who escapes to
the mountains, and the carriage with its
inmates drives on to its destination. All
this is done by the machinery of this un-
rivaled clock, which is said to be an admi-
rable timer. Mr.. Morrill, is native Bal
timorean, and is certainly entitled to hon
orable mention for his very ingenious
of skill, amusement and
utilitv." 9 % +
