A Musical watch.

A musical watch about the size Of
an egg is now exhibited In st. Peters
burg which performs a religious
chant, with scenic Accomplishments.
Within is a representation Of Christ
with the Roman sentinels. On press
ing a spring the stone rolls from the
tomb, the sentinels fall down, the
angels appear, and the holy women
enter the sepulchre, and the same
chant which is sung in the Greek
Church on Easter Eve is actually
performed. The watch was made by
an ingenious peasant during the reign
of Catharine OF Russia.

Irishman spoke and acted during the day
he was very confident, although not in
happiness. There is deal of discomfort
in his disposition, and it cropped out con-

have him whipped, despite their sweet
words to the contrary.
One thing made him feel badly. He OBJ

CHANGES ON THE JERSEY BEACH.
Old Ocean Comes Ashore and Makes
Many Startling Alterations.

NEW YORK, March 2.-No sailing vessel Of any
description arrived in port this morning and
only few OF the extensive fleet of belated
steamships came in. The storm is still
raging along the New Jersey coast
and much damage has been done to the
beaches and grounds of cottages, which extend
along the coast between Highlands aud Long
Branch, as well as farther south. At Seabright
much damage has been done to property along
the beach, and many cottages are in danger.
The track OF the New Jersey Southern
road is partly covered, and the
surf house, at Long Branch, is
badly undermined. At GIlilee, Monmouth
Beach and Seabright the sea has broken across
the peninsula and formed connection with the
Shrewsbury river on the other side. The gas
mains are broken, and candles and lamps have
to be used. At Asbury Park the beach is badly
torn up and there is little left of the big pavil
ion floor. At Ocean Grove the beach line is
considerably altered At Point Pleasant a ma
jority OF the th-houses were carried away, and
the observatory at Bloomfield Theological semi
nary wrecked. The lowlands are foo led at At
lantic City. At Cape May the new portion of
the beach drive, built last summer, was washed
through to tho meadows.
