 . 4 Cracked BeH. The b ell in the Episco- pal church is SO badly cracked that it is now regarded as dangerous to ring it. l, is @ Meneely bell, bought and raised to it's present position in June 1867, and weighs 22OO pounds. It is said that before the bell had been used a year, a defect was discov cred in the tone, and it was thought to be cracked, but close examination failed to locate the seam, and the matter was sl- lowed to pass for the time. A year or more later the want of correctness in its tone was stil! more manifest and another examination was made, and this time with a magnifying glass. which resulted as be- fore, in the detection of no visible imper- lection. Last fall the sound having become about as musical as we'll developed dinner pot, the crack was easily discerned, which has been growing larger and extending farther up through the whole mass, till something like three weeks ago, when it had reached the top, and the separation was complete from the bottom and the bell rendered utterly unsafe to be rung. This IS the second Meneely bell that has been raised in that belfry. The first was raised in the fall of the year 1866, and was cracked and removed the next spring, when the present ''incumbent" was lifted to the position. Efforts are to be made at once to get another, and this time 1t is hoped one that will stand the frost.
