THe Old Bell and Me .Ne1c !Society-We have all heard of the man who borrowed knocker, to wake his friend on the opposite side of the street, and perhaps many visitors in Trenton, (says the Gazette, of that place, have been obliged to resort to the same ex- pedient to save their knuckles, as there is a woful lack of such means of notification at our doors. But we never knew of the happy extent to which this system might be carried, until we heard of the case of a congregation, which, having removed to a new place of worship, sold it's old house to another socie- ty. To that house steeple and bell are at tached, but the purchasers belong to demo- imitation which do not commonly make use of bell, and so declined to take that part of the fixtures. The new church, in conse- quence, retain the old bell, and their sexton proceeds punctually to the steeple of the other house, and rings for his own constitu- ents. The people of the steeple-house hold their meeting at the same hour, but then they are not accountable for the bell, nor bound to hear 1t. Saturday Courier
