An Old Bachelors Clocks.

Not far from the village of Gouglers-
vile, near the extreme end of Breck-
mock township, up to within few
weeks ago, lived an old and eccentric
bachelor by the name of Elias Filter
ing. Yesterday Squire Gougler took
the afidavlts of the appraisers of the
deceased's personal property, the APP
praisement having been made under
the supervision of the attorney for the
parties, |. Q. Becker, of this city. Fit
tering was past seventy years of age,
and lived on his forty-acre farm alone
and unattended, Several weeks ago he
died, when his four-room log building,
with all its curiosities, was locked up
until yesterday, when the appraisement
was made,
The great hobby of the old man was
clocks. In his little home he had no
less than fourteen clocks of as many
styles, sizes and shapes, Nearly all OF
them were of old styles, and contained
musical boxes and automaton figures
In one room he was obliged to lower
portion Of the floor and raise a portion
Of the ceiling in order to place in tall
clock of a peculiar description. He
had small clocks containing " cuckoos,"
and large clocks that played tunes and
worked a number of wooden figures.
One figure was that of a pretty woman,
which he regarded as his wife. "His
sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts"
we're pictured in the remaining figures.
In the society of these speechless au-
tomatons the old man spent many hap
py hours in contentment. In his par
lOr" was a large organ for which, about
1882, he paid S400 This huge instru-
ment is all enclosed, and the keyboard
is only reached after several coverings
are removed It was built in Reading,
but is now somewhat out Of time. The
organ was appraised at $40. In his
cellar the old man had a splendid cider
press built at great cost, There he
pressed his cider and cooked apple
butter. Pots Of apple butter and Jars
Of preserves were found in the house
TO be at least thirty years of
age. In one corner of his room was a
cane with the head to represent Adam
and Eve, with a trailing serpent near
them.
He had several costly musical boxes
and an ACCORDION and flute. Upon |
these two instruments he was quite an /

expert performer. All his tastes and
desires ran to clocks and musical in
struments. In the purchase of these he
was liberal, while he was entirely in
different in the matter Of furnishing his
house. His domestic comforts, from
modern standpoint, were extremely
limited, but he was always apparently
happy. He had a large lot of the
strangest looking tools; two new car
riages were found packed under
quantity of hay, and large number of
quaint and curious articles were found
in his house. He had fine harness and
plenty of hay, and the appraisement
amounted to quite a large sum. The
deceased had no children, and his estate
is to be diYided among his collateral
heirs, about three in number. 1t is
thought that no other house in the
county contains so many clocks and
other quaint and curious articles to be
compared with this. -Reaeljng Eagle.
