An Historic Ring.

In the possession Of William B.
Fry. of Driftou, y. Y. is n relic
which, to him, is almost priceless II
is at once symbol, sign and II

freedom and liberty which received
the ovation of continent only few
months ago; a sign OF the veneraflon
which was felt for the liberty bell
wears ago, and which time has IN
creased and strengthened and IA token
that will remain precious heirloom
in the family of Mr.. Fry.
The relic is in the shape of ring
and WAS made from the metal that was
cut away along the zlg-zag crack OF
the liberty bell with the idea that IT
would restore the tone of the bell.
Joseph Buckley, cousin OF Mrs,
Aurelia 5. Fry, the mother of William
b. Fry, was in charge OF the bell at
that time. He took the clippings and
had this ring constructed ont OF them.
In the wear 1850, while Mrs. Fry was
on visit to the family of Mr.. Buckley,
in Philadelphia, the latter presented
her with the ring, and, naturally, sh,
guarded il with jealons care, until on
Christmas of last year when she pre-
scented it to her son, William b. Fry. -
