The church clock at Harborne, near Bir-
Hingham, has of late, says our cores
pendent. been most erratic as to it's move
ments. Frequent visits were paid by the
clockmaker, but there was no permanent
good effect. At last he decided to make a
thorough overhaul, and going into the
turret and inspecting the works connected
with the south dial, he found swarm of
bees buzzing away and huge deposit of
honey attached to the dial and some of
tne working parts. 1t took two days to
clear away the honey.

polled, Devons and Jerseys. Every one
has a pedigree.
Probably because none of the fair
directors are enthusiastically inter-
ested in sheep breeding and wool
growing and have thereby failed to
arouse the spirit OF competition among
fiockmasters, the exhibit of sheep is
rather limited, but what have been
entered are of the choicest breeds,
such as Ramboulett merinos, French
merinos, Cotswolds, Southdowns,
Shropshires and high grade crosses.
In the swine department are inter-
esting pens of the Berkshire, Chester
and White Poland breeds and their
progeny.

almost every point. 1t would not be
