One remarkable fact in connection with the reliquary in which this bell was encased is that sinoe it was made, in about the year 1091, in has never been lost sight of. From the beginning it had a special keeper, and in snecetding generation? its caatody was continued in the same family and proved to them a source of consideri^t - emolument, In after ages, when its profits ceased to accrue, Jong association bound it up so with the affections of the keeper's family that they almost held their existence on the tenure of its safe custody. Thus it was handed down from generation to generation until the relic became so ancient and valuable that the object of their former care passed into the keeping of the Royal Iriuh Academy. — Chicago Post.
