The Rev. Mr. Peter Rae, minister of the gospel at Kirkonnel
in Scotland, has finished a curious astronomical and musical
clock, which has cost him many years study and labour, and
performs to the very great surprize of all that have seen
it. Besides all the motions of an ordinary clock, it chimes
on 15 bells every third hour through the week till Saturday
night, but will not chime after ten that night till the
Sabbath be over, and then begins again of its own accord.
