A Useful Family Clock.

DR.. Darius L. Golf has, at his home
on Walcott street, remarkable clock.
The clock, in the first place, has a
history, being an heirloom of the
Carpenter family of Rehobeth, in
whose possession it has been for at
least 200 years, and, perhaps, longer.
It came in possession of Mr.. Golf a
few years ago, he being a connexion
of the family and since his ownership
of it, it has developed powers which
for two centuries had lain dormant
and unknown. It is an old style tall
clock, and occupies position in the
front hall of Mr.. COTS house, where
it regulates the entire household.
The clock never requires winding, the
front door, as it is opened and shut
during the day, performing that work,
Within the dial is also an ingenious
mechanism by which the light in the
front hall is turned up as darkness
approaches, and again is lowered as
the orthodox bedtime draws nigh.
AS morning dawns, and it is time that
the servants bestir themselves, the
faithful old clock rings o bell in the
back hall summoning them to their
daily labors. An hour later bell in
the front hall warns the family that
it is time to rise, and half-hour still
later another peal of the bell sum-
mons them to breakfast. Besides
these arrangements, the clock is, con
nected with another in Mr.. Golf s
sleeping room, whereby the two are
! struck simultaneously. All these in
genious attachments, in which, of
course the aid of electricity is in
voked, are the invention of Mr. Golf
himself. Among other things he has
invented a very serviceable machine
which is in use in the braid factory
in which he is interested, for winding
the braid upon the spool or core. In
the Office of the company is also a
thermometer with electrical attach
ment SO arranged that bell is rung
when the temperature of the room is
above or below a certain point

Thanksgiving at the Commercial
College.

From the London Advertiser, Nov. 12th, 1879
Thanksgiving Day was one of the High
DAYS" at the Commercial College in this
served to the students at the boarding
house.
The repast consisted of an abundant sup
ply of oysters, roast turkey, roast goose
buildings, pies, cakes, fruit and the various
etceteras usually connected with a first
class treat By unanimous vote of those
present, the Principal Professor J. W.
Jones, and his amiable wife, were accorded
the chief positions of honor. Three long
tables in the spacious dining-room were
closely filed with the Principals family and
students of the College. Prominent among
the latter were the members of the Students
High Court" who made their appearance
dressed in their official garb, and accom-
panied with the insignia of their Office.
There was His Honor the Supreme Judge,
S. G.. g., Hungerford, F. r. S. L. L. D.,
in all his dignity of state. There also was
High Sheriff, L. n. Shuh, looking as if he
was quite competent to meet any einer-
,gency Of his exalted position, and whose
solemn countenance never changed either at
court or festival Then there was the Crown
Attorney, E. O. Jones' c. G.. L. Z. D., with
his massive head stored with legal lore, and
cold impressive face, before which prisoners
always tremble. BY his side sat the coun-
sci for the prisoner, Geo. r. Hamilton, P.
D. K. O. L., whose erudition none dare
dispute Then followed High Constable
James Gordon Bennett, the stripes on his
arm showing that he had done valiant ser
vice in behalf of law and ORDER and last
though not least came that dapper little
fellow. Detective Johnny Dean. whose keen
black eyes were ever restless in their sweep,
ready to discover a rogue and culprit vile
under an exterior where ordinary mortals
would suppose that nought but honest worth
and veriest innocence did dwell.
After all present had enjoyed to the full
est extent the deicacies spread before them,
Principal Jones was called upon for an ad-
dress, which was responded to by a few
brief sentences of reorganization and words
of cheer. This was followed by selections
of vocal and instrumental music, in which
all heartily joined, finishing up with Aud
Lang Syne, God Save the Queen, Yankee
Doodle and Old Hundred. a-a n
The whole occasion, from beginning tc
end, was one of the most enjoyable ever
held in this city, and one which will be long
remembered by all who were favored with
the privilege of being present.
