A New lELL.-We understand that the Pres
bytcrian congregation of Stauaton, delegated Mr.
JOEL Ettinger to purchase a Bell for the new and
oapa cious byterian Church now progressing ia
completion in his place. After examining the
vlrious manufacture in Philadelphia and New
York, Mr.. E. finally closed contract with
Messrs. Register & Son. Of Baltimore to furnish
Bell of about 2,OC0 pounds weight, at cost of
about ST, 600. 1t is said to be of ma gniGc ent
tone-deep, swelling and solumn-and will be
r2ady for location on the church in several weeks
A we'll toned Bell, as an attachment to church,
is appropriate and expressive, and we are pleased
to learn that the Presbyterian congregation were
so considerate as to place the selection of one to
the judgment of gentleman so competent to de-
decide in everything akin to tho harmony of
sounds, as Mr. Ettinger. It isa high compliment
to Messrs. Register & Son, that their make has
been chosen after q thorough test of the manufac-
ture of other establishments by SO competent a
judge,

to no other purpose than that designated in the
