A nvsterIous Clock st,iktna,

Apropos of the mysterious striking, re- gently, of the old clock which once belonged to Washington, in the relic room at Mount Vernon, the Rev. A. P. Buel, of Cleveland, Ohio, sends to the Tribune the following &C., count of an incident which took place in 1846, while he was at Yale College: 'At that time was taking my meals in the part from the present site of the New York and New Haven railway depot. The house was a low one-story wooden building, the large brick chimney standing in the center and go- ing straight up through the roof. On the first floor there was a large room on either side of the chimney. In the east room 8 wife and mother had died two weeks before the incident which am about to relate occurred The house was so near the flats that one could hear the wash of the waves as the tide ebbed and flowed. Snow had fallen to 8 depth of eight inches, and this had been followed by q heavy rain. Everything therefore, was moist to the touch Coming to the house one night found the ladies greatly alarmed. The clock in the unused room, where the death had occurred, had been heard to strike in the afternoon. They asked me to examine the clock and the room, as they dared not. I found an old-fashioned twenty -four hour clock, with thin pine back, standing on the mantlepiece, and close up to the chimney. As the chimney was large, open and low, snow had fallen and had melted on the inside. Of course the bricks of the chimney back of the clock had absorbed much moisture The linen cord of the striking weight had con- tracted just enough to lift the weight and cause the striking. It was only the unseen fingers of common moisture, and not the unseen fingers of ight-heeled ghosts, that started the sonorous brass and filled the la- dies with fear /"
