CLOCK FOR THE TOWN.

TO THE EDITOR. km,—A short tiin.3 a<jo you advocated public subscriptions towards the procuring of a peal of bells and a clock, to be erected in I lie new Catholic Church, and) as nothing Ins been don - - in the matter sin e, I hope you will allow me,to s<iy a few wires in favor of the same. That a clock and penl of bel's would he a great boon to the district none, I take it, will deny, and that it would also be a great: convenience to business people, there is not the shadow of a doubt. Therefore the ad"oca'ing by yon of the same, on public grounds, is to be comnvnded. I think all prejudices sho i d bd laid aside, and everyone in the place give their mite towards this most undertaking. The advantages ia having the correct tiraj visible n -uiy part of die distrist, besides having every fifteen minu'es tolled out throughout the day and night, would mire than recompense those that contributed to-rt-nril* it. I think the people of Temuka ought to be thankful to Father Fanvel for placing the spire of his handsome church at Ih. ir disposal, and show their appre" eiation by coining forward and subseribmg owards the peal of bells and clock If the district was canvassed, and the m tter taken up properly, I have no hesitation in saying the amount required would be forthcoming.—l am, &c., Correct Time.
