What a World of Misery Their Clangor Oft Foretell*." \ ‘ . -i Mr*. Peter Wise lives on her farm hi German township, near Tanberhill, 0., and with her lives her son Daniel and hte wife. The family has been greatly annoyed by the unaccountable ringing of a tap bell. The bell commenced to ring once a week for three weeks before the' death of her son-in-law, Harrison Dswel), which occurred near Fayette two weeks ago, and since that 3ad event it rings every morning and evening exactly at 7:30. Atiirst the bell was on a shelf in daily view of the family, but, after ita strange antics, was removed to a table, but this did not stop its ringing. It was then overhauled but it still keeps up the ringing at tho accustomed time. Superstitious people claim it as an omen of bad luck.
