Stolen Jewelry,

The police arrested two young men yes
terday morning at the instance of IL. W.
silver watch of the value of S35, and pin
which he claims was diamond. They
gave their names as Thomas Bourie and Il.
X. Brown. They had all three slept in the
same room at the National Hotel the night
previous, and had left the door of their
room ajar. They were taken before Justice
Price. On hearing the testimony for the
prosecution, which was very thin, assistant
County Attorney Morrow, dismissed the
case. There is no doubt but that Childs
lost the articles, but the testimony was not
sufficient to make out case against them.

A large clock at the English House
of Parliament is the largest one in
the world. The four dials in this
clock are % feet in diameter. Every
half minute the minute hand moves
nearly seven inches. The clock will
go eight days and a half, and will
only strike for seven and a half, thus
indicate any neglect in winding it
up. The winding up of the striking
apparatus takes two hours. The
pendulum is Is feet long; the wheels
are cast iron the hour bell is S feet
high and feet in diameter, weigh
ing nearly fifteen tons, and the ham
mer alone weighs more than 400
pounds. This clock strikes the quar-
Ter hour, and by its striking the
short. hand reporters regulate their
labors. AT every strike a new re-
porter takes the place of the old one,
while the first retires to write out
the notes that he has taken during
the previous fifteen minutes.

YOU came t. die if you could only
lay your head ON Parker's dogs
bosom you could breathe your life
