Yankee EDgspuiEy.

A Bath (hIe.) correspondent writes IN
hs following amusing and interesting way
TO Boston paper: l once stopped at the
house of friend. 1t was desirable that
we should take an eAriy train next morn
ing, and, notwithstanding the assurance
of the seryspt that we should be called
bright and early felt anxious On retlr-
ing lest we should not rise in time. /
therefore set myself to dsyising an alsrm.
The oply "base of operation" was my
watch. This opened the face OF, ex>
posing the hands, and laid its back on the
toilet table. The hour hand only was
available to produce the action that
should give the alarm, the minnte>hsHs
having many revolutions TO make ere the
appointed hour. A blade at each end OF
my pocket-n,fe was opened, and the ham
die supported on three pennies (piicd one
on the top of the other), so that It should
be balanced, and at the same time have
the blades on a line with the face, one
blade resting lightly on the figure 4
the minute hand passing over it in It's
revolution. The object of this arrange
ment was to CAUSE the hour hand, on ar
living At tle HOut u II W OOoiO Az SSA-
tact with the blade; and tie knife being
balanced, the hand would have sufficient
power to move it on its pivot Che pens
nies), the opposite end of the knife, Of
course, having reverse motion.
next drove a pin into the handle of
our hair brush, and balance it on the edge
Of the table, just so that it would topple
over were not the end of the pin in il
held down gently by the head Of the pm
coming Under the table at the knife oppo-
site the watch. previously tied one
end OF roy handkerchief to the handle Of
The brush the other end l now secured
to the comb, with which / propped up
the heavy lid of fancy hox that sat on
the table leaving some slack" between
the brush and comb.
The machine was now f'set," and the
expected operation was this: The honr-
hand should push the blade resting on the
figure four; and the other Plade would
have corresponding motion and slip of
the head Of the pin in the brush handle +;
this would allow the brush balanced on
the edge Of the table TO tilt and fall, the
slack il the handkerchief allowing il to
acquire snfiicient momentum in falling to
pull out the comb supporting the heavy
lid of the fancy box, which should fall
with a load noise" These things real
ly came to pass at the appointed hour
and we were aroused from our slumberi
in time to take the early train. and en-
on our way rejoicing.

WHAT RUXG THAT BELL 2

That there IS sleepless Providence
watching over all the affairs of men, ard
often by special agencies, bringing to
light, as in the fash of moment, the
crimes which they commit, fud additional
confirmation in an event which has re-
Gently occurred IN EnfeId, Conn, and
which merits more permanent record
than a mere passing thought. A young
man belonging to one Of our most respect
able families, but who, from bis irregular T
habits, had been strongly suspected of be-
ing guilty Of criminal offence, and BEEN
once under arrest for passing counterfeit
currency, and escaped by foffeiting his
bonds, on Sunday night, few weeks
since, broke into store at HazardviIle,
and loaded a wagon, which he had pre-
Vioasly stolen and drawn to the door, with
various merchandise. He then entered
q stable, and attempted 70 lead out q val
UaJle horse owRod by the man from whom
be had stolen tho goods, intending 20 har,
ness it TO the wagon, and make off with
his booty IN the stiffness Of ths night,
when he thought no eye could see him and
no ear hear him. Just at that moment,
however, the bell from the village church
tower sounded out an alarm loud and
clear upon the night air, startling she in
habitants from their sIumbers, who, sup
posing it to be fire alarm, rushed into
the street. and caught the thief with his
pIu0der, before he had time to escape from
the village.
The ringing of that bell, however, was
a mystery. But upon inquiry, it was as
certained that the sexton, 10 ,inging the
bell for the service the day previous, had
by seeming accident 80 turned it up and
set it, that lie could not pull it down with
she rope, and not having key to tho bell
fry door, be was obliged TO let the bell
remain in that position. Just in time to
detect that youthful criminal it came down
without human help, ard sounded that
midnight alarm. After his arrest, goods
were found in bis possession, which were
taken from q store in ThOmpsonville a
short time previoustly and lac confessed
that with the aid of an aceomplice, he had
broken into it and stolen several hundred
dollars worth Of merchandise. The owner
of these goods had formerly employed him
as clerk iu his store. Thus the ringing
of that bell, without human hands, bro't
several criminal offenders to light. and
arrested one in his dishonest career =

AN EXTRAORDINARY RIDE.-The report
Of an extraordinary ride has come in the in
telligence from California. a young man
named Mowry bet that he would ride three
hundred miles in fifteen hours. The wager
was $4,000 to $4,000 on Mowry. For sew
sral days he trained for bis ride. He had
thirty horses taken to the Park Stables, and
on Sunday morning, at twenty minutes be-
fore five, h0 began his ride on his own horse,
which be rode four times around the track.
The rider weighed about l6O pounds. He
carried canteen filed with water, and a
small pouch containing few sandwiches.
When the Algnal was given the hardy rider
gave rein and was of. The horse broke into
the gallop 30 Common to California horses
and continued it until it went aropud fobr
times, when the rider changed it for second
SoIae of the horses were ridden onlv orce
round tho track, but nearly all of theIn were
pushed around three times.
During the first six hours Mr.. Mowrv
would dismount and mount without aid. bnt
In the after part of the day he was assisted
by persons retained for the purpose. At the
end of 200 miles placarG was display ed
from the Judges stand stating that the dis
tancs had been accomplished in eight hours
two minutes and forty-eight seconds, a short,
sz tims than it had ever been accomplished
