NO TICK.

[To the Editor.] Sir,—As a resident of some years who has invariably depended upon the post office clock for the correct time, I should like to know what has become of that useful piece of mechanism. The clock was always in an inconvenient position round a corner, and persons had to bob either up or down to see its dial. Since the public timepiece struck work nearly all the watches, and consequently the clocks, have gone cronk, and unless there is an immediate amendment day will be turned into night and people will continue to miss trains. I hope the clock’s absence will not be permanent, and that when it is replaced it will be hung in a more convenient position. —I am, etc., Open Face. [Though many post offices boast a public clock, we are not certain whether this particular one is’meant for all and sundry to gaze at, or in other words it does not appear to be a public clock, but no doubt the officer in charge could make it of public utility by placing in such a position that it could be seen from the street, without inconveniencing the staff. If our correspondent’s remarks about the watches going wrong is correct, then we can easily suggest a remedy—take them to Crysell’s.—Ed.]
