A TOWN CLOCK.

[to the editor.] . ' Sir, — I think it is high time we had a ■town clock of some kind or other (the Exihibition clock under offer by the Government would' be rather too expensive a toy, I imagine), so that we might all have a standard time to go by. As it T is, folks are ■guided by their own time-pieces, or perhaps by the clocks at Dupre's or Bish's shops; and on Sundays a great many are guided by the bellr at either the Anglican or C. Church, which, as far as the former is concerned, has a time of its own, and is most erratic, both ;as to when it begins and leaves 'ptf, and the fi^aLuncertain way it ia rung or tolled. On Sunday morning it lelt off ringing nearly five ■ minutes too soon, thus making a number of people late for church, who, otherwise, would have been in good time. This is disturbing both to those who have been made to entor church late and to those already assembled. Therefore I hope soon to see a good, reliable time-piece filling up the circle left for the purpose in the Post Office tower, than which I don't know a better or more central place for a town clock. — I am, &c, • . : .
