FOUND HER LOVER DEAD.
A tragic story Is reported from the
little town of Moloskvltsa. In Russian
Poland, of a young girl who lost her
lover on her wedding day. Ivan Mar
chon, the son of a wealthy land-owner
at Smollna. was to have been mar
ried to Katrlna Rltkar. The guests
assembled for the wedding, but wait
ed in vain for the bridegroom. Fin
ally the bride, who could not endure
the suspense any longer, left with her
father and a party of friends to drive
in the direction of Smollna, in the
hope of seeing the missing lover.
When they had gone half-way they
found the young man lying dead In
the snow beside his horse. The girl
was taken home in an unconsclou
condition.
CLOCK OF 1790.
An interesting specimen of a long
clock, made In 1790, Is owned by a
gentleman at Lutterworth. It has an
oval face, a hand which points to the
day of the week, completing the
round In seven days; one which shows
the true dead beat, and another which
points to the chimes and quarters,
says the Westminster Gazette.
On the upper part of the clock is a
small orchestra, which includes
flute, a 'cello, and two violins, and a
boy and girl in addition to three sing
ers. The hours and the quarter are
struck, and every three hours a tune
la played "three times over either on
the bells alone, the Iyricord, or on
both together." while the three figures

The "church boat" Is a popular In
