There are ever on the watch, in all COM
munities, those who prey upon unsuspecting
and innocent females. Their Argus eyes
are ever on the alert, and their CLEANS. like
those OF the basilisk, carry death IN their
glance. SedalIa IA no exception, aud this
is cursed with its share Of those
who are fell foes to female virtue. Parents
cannot be too watchiul over their children.
and upon no account should young girIs be
allowed to promenade our streets after

and the subject of remarks which would
make the cheeks Of modesty mantle with
shame. They make acquaintances Of those

mated, if the body and soul are not ruined.
This is the case in every large city, where
young girls are allowed to roam unre-
strained by parental influence.
Last night the Marshal was called upon
by sorrowing mother, who solicited his
aid in retaining her daughter, girl just
budding into womanhood. She was giddy
and thoughtless, and easily led by evil in
Anencer. She had left her home. and the
poor woman had every reason to believe
she was with those who had been for some
time plotting her ruin. And she begged
the Marshal to 60 to where she directed and
recover her daughter il there.
Marshal Smith assured her that he would
find her child If within the corporate limits
of the city, and he accordingly started out
on his mission. Going TO the place indi-
Gated BY the mother, sure enough he found
her child. The girl had retired, but soon
dressed and answered the summons of the
officer, with whom she returned to her
home, greatly to the joy of her mother. 1,
is to be hoped she will heed parental advice
hereafter.

When Judas appears, Satan comes
down from his window and follows
Judas out in the PROCESSION, snd
then goes back up to his place to
watch Judas, appearing on both
sides. As the procession has.passed,
Judas and the three Marys disappear
and the doors are closed. The scene
can be repeated seven times in an
hour il necessary, and the natural
motion of the clock produces it four
times per hour. whereas the Stras-
burg procession is made but once q
day at II o'clock. Below the plaza
is the main dial, about thirteen
inches in diameter. To its right is
figure of Time with an hour glass.
Above this is a window, at which ap-
pears figures representing youth,
manhood and old age. TO the left
| of the dial is a skeleton representing
Death. When the hour hand ap-
proaches the first quarter, Time re-
verses his hour-glass and strikes one
on q bell with his scythe, when an-
other bell ON the inside responds;
then Childhood appears instantly.
When the hour-hand approaches
the second quarter or half-hour,
there are heard the strokes of two
bells. Then Youth appears and the
organ plays q hymn. After this
Time strikes two and reverses his
hour-glass, when two bell respond
inside. One minute after this q
chime of bells is heard when fold
ing door opens in an upper porch
and one at the right of the court,
where the Saviour comes walking
out. Then the Apostles appear in
procession. The clock also tells of
the moons changes, the tides, the
seasons, days, and day of the month
and year, and the signs of the zodiac;
and on top a soldier in armor is con-
stantly on guard, walking backward
and forward. As the hours advance,
Manhood, Old Age and Death take
part in the panorama.
