A Wonderful Clock.

A correspondent of the Boston Her.
aid, who does not take the trouble to
go into details, contributes this sur
prising Information: Perhaps the
most wonderful timepiece ever heard of
is clock described by Hindoo RaIah
as belonging to a native princess of
Upper India. In front of the clock
disk was a gong, swung on poles, and
near it was pile of artificial limbs.
The pile was made up of the full num-
Der of parts OF twelve perfect bodies,
but all lay heaped together in
seeming confusion. Whenever the
hands of the clock indicated the hour |,
out from the pile crawled just the num-
Der of parts to form the frame of one
man, part joining itself to part with
quick metallic click; and, when com
pleted, the figure sprang up, seized
small mallet, and, walking up to the
gong, struck l, the first hour. When
2 o'clock came, two men rose up and
did likewise; and so through all the
hours of the day, the number of figures
being the same as the number of the
hour, till at noon and midnight the en-
tire heap sprang up, and, marching to
the gong, struck one after another,
each blow, making twelve in all, and
then fell to pieces again.

CANDLEMAs.-Mond last February
p is known as Candlemas Day. and is a
festival in the Catholic Church in COM
memoration of the publication Of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, being the fortieth
day after Christmas. All the candles
used in the ceremonies of the church dur
ing the year following were blessed on that
day in the Catholic Church. Lights have
been used on the altar during mass from
the early days of the church as emblems of
the light of faith, signs of spiritual joy and
like Specifications. The custom of the
church requires candles to be lighted on
the altar from the beginning to the end of
mass nor can they be dispensed with on
any consideration. The candles must be
of pure wax, and of white color except in
masses for the dead, when the wax pre-
scribed is yellow. Two candles may be
lighted at a priests low-mass. or, if for
parish, convent, or one of the greater So
lemities, four candles, six for high mass.
seven at the mass of bishop and twelve
at the benediction of the Blessed Sacra-
ment. Candles must be lighted when
communion is given.
The day is also known as Ground Hog
day, it being a tradition that the ground
hog comes out of his hole on that day and
If he sees his shadow returns to remain
six weeks, during which time the weather
will be of an abominable character. Ifthere
is any faith to be placed in the sign then
we may look out for squalls. Monday was
bright. crisp and cold, and there was not
an hour between sunup and shutdown that
his hogship could not have seen his
shadow.

DIR. ROBERT G. EVE.-The intelligence
was received here on Saturday last that
DIR. Robert G. Eve had died at his resi-
dence in Augusta, ! Ga, on the day previous,
aged about AZ years. He had been in del
icate health for several years, and the slow
wasting away of his constitution by con-
sumption prepared his friends for the sad
bereavement.
DR.. Eve came to Virginia during the
war, when quite young man, as surgeon
of one of the Georgia Regiments. Some
time afterwards he was assigned to hospi-
tai duty in Staunton. While here he was
married to Miss Willie, the eldest daugh-
ter of the late Col. M. G.. Hartman. After
the close of hostilities he settled upon a
farm near StauntOn, where he remained
several years, and then returned to
his native town to practice his profess
sion, which he did with success. He
was an accomplished gentleman, skilled
physician, warm friend, and tender and
devoted husband and father. There are
many in this vicinity who will remember
his gentle, courteous demeanor. his kind
ly nature and high character. He leaves
his wife and five children, who have the
sympathy of their many friends here
Mrs. M. G. Hartman left for Augusta on
Saturday last to be with her daughter in
] her deep distress.

tents, Of Mr.. Geo. w. Roadcap, in the
Hebron Church neighborhood, were con-
sumed by fire. There were i'll the barn five
horses, two COWS, five tons of hay, four
hundred bushels of corn, ten bushels of
wheat, plows, harrows, harness. and other
farming utensils. all of which were burned.
The fire occurred in the middle OF the
night and Was clearly the work of All III
cendiary. When discovered, the wind was
blowing gale. and the flames had made
such progress, hat it WAS impossible to
get within fifty yards OF the building.
The corn crib was forty yards from the
barn, and the dwelling about eighty. The
former was consumed with its contents,
and the latter only escaped by the eXer-
tions of MI. R. s family and the neighbors,
who had gathered in. 1t is a severe loss
to a very worthy man. There was no in
surance on Mr.. RS property. He had
but recently purchased a small farm, but
had not removed to it. The premises de-
stroyed- belonged TO Mrs. Engleman. and it
is stated were insured.
