The will of Mrs. B. F. Merrill of Ber-
lin street, was filed recently in the
probate office at Montpelier. George
Blair is named as executor of the will
her property, amounting to "a, 600,
is divided among relatives.
She has bequeathed to the "Church
of the Messiah" the large, interest
ing, old fashioned clock which was
made by her husband previous to his
death. This is one of the most inter
esting time pieces in the city and has
been valued at $3.50. The clock
stands over seven feet high and runs
eight days. 1t contains the moon
changes, and crying and laughing
moon. On the face of the clock are
two paintings made by I. W. Wood,
the artist. One is a view of Camel's
Hump, and the other Memphrema-
cog falls. The clock is set in a black
walnut case, which alone must have
cost $50. The clock is the entire
handiwork of Mr. Merrill. Alter his
accident on the railroad, when one
leg was cut off, he turned his atten-
ton toward repairing clocks, and
then the desire came on him to build
a clock, with the result as seen. Mrs.
Merrill has always greatly priced the
clock.
