The following description of a school clock given by the Philadelphia Intelligent Ger, IS indeed a curiosity :-

 4 Curiosity. y.--In the Ladies' Institute, of this city, conducted by the Rev. k. ". Cushman, in Arch,near Seventh street, there is clock, which for the ingenious round of duty that it Is made to perform, will con- pare with any curiosity of the present day By ninvention of Mir. Gushman, this clock is made to ring bell, calling the scholars together in the morning, and when they are assembled, 1t presents them with the word study" on the upper part of the dia.-- Wheathe morning shalf over, the bell strikes again, and the word ''recess,n takes the place of 'sstudy." By vote of the schol- ars, 1t was decided that not a whisper should be made in the school hours, except during this recess. While that word presents it. self, three minutes only, the school is in a buzz; but when study returns, implicit obe- dience follows. Several other words are presented by the same arrangement and the effect Is admirable. Its advantages are seen in the perfect order which remains in the Institute ; an Establishment, by the way, supposedly none in this city for the excel lence of its conduct, and the thorough edu- cation of the scholars there instructed.-- All the departments are sustained by the most competent teachers; the philosophical apparatus costly, and extensive, and the la- bours of the President unceasing. We hope this Institute enjoys what it deserves a rich degree of favor and patronage.
