Show I I SSSSSII . Published every Wednesday tB4 Star4aj. dream I had striven in vain to recollect was so vivid and clear over night. that it impressed me I had witnessed my father's death in every deed. n I rose early, and wen over to to consult with Dr. Rons.- -- 1 told him little or nothing of my experiences, feeling he would dittblieve in them, but contented myself with minute inquiries as to the nature and extent of the postmortem examination in which he had assisted. Dr. entered at length into particulars, aad repeated that he was perfectly satisfied death had resulted from paralysis, I gathered from him, however, that Dr. Gryant had perform j ed nearly the whole of the practical part of the himself, and that beyond generally satisfying himself, of the truth of what his brother practitioner demonstrated, Dr. Ross had made no thorough personal examination of his body. ..), Returning to Crankford, I called on Dr. Gryant. He had almost entirely recovered his with the daylight, but was still quiet, and reserved. I found him employed at his surgery bell. He had taken out the I went upstairs with and him, to examine the bell itself, and found e, he had taken, away crank, and all from that end, and there was, iu fact no wire of any kind now attached to the bell. The bell hung, as it does at present, in a corner, about two inches either way from the wall,' and certainly he left nothing attached to it which could account for disturbing the peace any more. That night I was away from home between 10 o'clock and 2 the next morning. My business took me to the catacombs of Crankford Church. But it is a fact that, notwithstanding all communication had been cut off from the doctor's bell, the bell still rang at 11 o'clock that night, with the same monotonous steady "loll"' as before. ' It rang for nearly a minute, and then ceased. I found, on my returning home, that Dr. Gryant had again rapped at the door, nearly beside him self. I did nof wonder then, for I knew why. The following day I remained at home. I had important business there, which led me to lock myself in the dining-roolor a great part of the day, and also to lock the dining-roodoor when I had finished. In. the afternoon, among gome old letters in .an escritoire, I found a piece of apef on which the contents of my father's .cashbox were specified. Towards evening T ascertained ; from the housekeeper the "precise position in which the caslibox was found when my father kdied,; nnd where; hi loose guld and notes lay on the floor. Doctor Ross spent that evening with me. Eleven o'clock struck. 1 pulled a little .cord by th fireplace. . My fathpr had been accustomcd.by this cord to unlatch the front deor, Without leaving his seat. I set ,the front door ajar. ,T,lien I lid my hand on the book where the parrot s cage had hung every night till now, kepi it; therej witl guntle pressure.' and waited. I a minute or t,wo we he ard Doctor Gryant's door1 unlocked. He came to ours, and finding it open, ran into the ' passage; ,1 V, r, "This is some" infernal t'rick, Mr. MorI and will know the rights of it. ley, Did.any wie, in this house ring my Vwllff' Hi lipsjwna, bloodless and, quivering as he' spoke, his worihi quick and friglit- - mortice, which, being covered by cobwebs in a dark corner, was not very ap-parent to so hurried an obsorver as a guilty man.

I dow know the fearfully anxious tiint the last ten days bad beea to him. The tw abstfuce of mspfyjon hitherto had only" laattd long' enough to excite each night a dread lest th Coming day iliould reveal the whole truth vivid and plain to all. Judge, the, what Doctor Gryant foil when that night he heard my father ivmtAonf again? my father' being dead, and wider groundJ,"Oue two hree-fou'' rhe- - bell tolled out, harsher and mere horrid than he had yet heard it. "Pomb pomb" it went on, never hurrying or staying its measured beat. "Toll, toll, toll," and the dreadful thing rang on as if it would never stop until he answered it. How could he help recollecting my father's words: "Whenever you hear the bell ring in that way remember it it I, and I want you!" lie threw on his things and went down to the door, whit and trembling, and bis knees quaking under him. As he passed along the passage the bell stopped. 'He unbolted and unbarred the door, and looked out into the night. The moon shining on the pavement, And the wind blowing coolly on his damp forehead, houses asleep, streets deserted,, not a soul abroad, nor light from door nor window, and Mr. Morley's front door closed. Nothing else. Awfuller to him thun any vision of another world were the silence and the stillness and the sight of the quiet stars, when his very heart cried aloud in fear with hrm. Almost fainting be got back to bed, and tossed there till morning. The next night it was the same, with this exoeption, tbat frightened beyond endurance, and, really'.longing for the sight of a fellow creature, Doctor Gryant rapped at my door. Not being gone to bed, I answered him myself. His face, always white, looked ashen and deadly in the moonlight. "For Heaven's sake, Mr. Morley, tell me did you ring my surgery bell?" "No," said I. "But what on earth possesses you? Yon look like death itself." "I fancied I heard the bell ring, Mr. Morley, and that it rang like he ran it for me tha night he died ' I mean your father; bull am nervous tonight, and it may have been my fancy after all." "Fancy," I repeated, "that is absurd. There could, be uo fancy about hearing such a bell as that.- - Either you did hear it or you did not, for it is a bell that will -t- wake the dead." Inadvertently and lightly I spoke ir these words, effect on Dr. I thought he Gryant was terrible. would have fallen, and so asked him to come into the diaingroom to take something. He looked at me wiyi leag, vacant, tare, and then, with a shudder of horror, stammered quickly beneath his breath, 'Ko,I cannot,''' and staggered out into the street, and shut himself up in his own house. The man's manner impressed me so much as that of a cowardly criminal who did not dare to face something he had done, that, when I re1 began to turned to the dining-roosuspect him of being one. I was sitting in the same room, and near about the very pot, wheTe my father died, ten days before, at that very hour. I give the coincidence for what it is worth, because, in my opinion, the surroundings had much to do with driving my mind irresistibly uone ;djrcc-tioSubjectively, I believe myself to have been under the influence of my father's spirit, through the operation of this coincidence of .time and plaee, taken in conncotiyrtVith hat had. fallen from Dr. Gryant,sbut of any objective or supernatural presence I was unconscious. of a direct rafluence, I was mereU-.awaron my mindwhUo I &t thinkingover Dr. Cry ant's singular and marked agitation. When for instance, I reflected that this agitation might be. the result of imple nervous disorder on his part, and my thoughts showed signs of wandering to the diagnosis and treatment of such aberrations, the influence would strongly impress orray mihd'the fact that Dr. Gryant had himself connected his terror about the bell with my father, while by his marked dread of entering the house he had shown reason for fear w hich he associated wil.thi house.;, la spite of myself, whenever my thoughts took any direction favorable oDr Cryaat they were blocked by some startling suspicion or hint of motive which I had before overlooked. I know that I was thus influenced in sttme manner from outside my own mind, until I became unwillingly forced to the conclusion that Dr. Gryant had done some great wrong against my father. Having reached this conclusion, the end seemed less unreasonable to me than the steps by which I arrived at it. I must have unconsciously dropped off to sleep in my ciair, for I awoke cold and chilly, the fire gone out and my limbs numb and stiff, I know that I had dreamed, and that the dream had been about my father and Dr. Gryant, but the particular of th dream were gone from my memory. I yet had a distinct knowledge of having seen vivid, things in .my aleep. It was as though some light bad flashed into my mind for an instant, lit up a picture .'there of something I very much wanted to know, and then suddenly and irrevocably . died out. But I awoke, I remember, with the impression that I Bhould tee my father's body in the room, and that " I; .must c it ; thdre. There was nothing unusual in the room. Still I could not. get rid of the impression of the dream j and, again', in spite of me, the influences, of which I was the conscious buinawiilingtagentj swlrted round my mind till I felt I must see my father's body for myself. I then went to bea, believing my thoughts would recur to what I judged a more healthy tone in the morning. I slept, dreamless till early twilight and then by that singular property of the brain, unconscious celebration, whereby the brain, of its own accord, will produce images which the! will has been powerless to make it recall, I remembered distinctly every particular of the but-the- , n. - Something bell-hand- le , bell-wir- m T .

It was the parrot, which kept on repeating the same words, and I could not- - atop ttv 1 never heard in my life a sound so ghastly. . When he heard that, the murderer shrieked and leaped from us mad! It was with great difficulty he was secured, and bound handj and foot to, prevent .his injur'iug himself, y, , , ..; at The Coroner's commission was reopened, nd followed by a 'formal Uriah' Doctor Gryant was sentenced to be confined during Her Majesty's pleasure in a criminal asylum, where he soon died raving mad. With the aid of my father's memorandum I recovered inost of the gold, and all the notes, of which I had the numbers. ,We found them in a drawer in Doctor Grysnt's surgery. Respecting the bell, as you will have guessed, it was put up originally by the former owner of tho large house, to ring for his butler in the smaller house, as an unmistakable summons In case of serious akrni at night. The houk in the dining-rooand a similar one in the above, used to have cords attached to them to pull. The principle on which the .bell was struck was very simple- " merely a . hammer, like; a pvanoforto hammer, which, except in the act of striking, was hidden at the back of the wainscot, and worked through a slit or I ' 't , --- , ,J . , bed-roo- . m , '., About r (oll. Gold is ifound sparingly in many hard rocks, such as granite, mica slate, chlorite slate, and cluy slate, and sometimes even in limestone and other similar rocks. It occurs far more abunin quartA, pure unmixed flint, or dantly silcx. In igueous or niotamorphic rocks, the quartz usually occurs in veins, or in large, irregular bunches or lumps, with veius diverging from them. These veins are most commonly only a few feet wide, and for tho most part traverse the rocks in a vertical or highly inclined position. Sometimes, however, veins or irregular masses occur many yards across in every direction; and sometimes, but very rarely, quartz is found in such abundance as to make what even might be called hills of itself. The gold is dissemminated in this quartz, sometimes in such exceedingly minute particles as to be invisible, not only to the naked eye, but even to the eye aided by a powerful lens. Most commonly, tho gold is seen as little yellow specks, flakes, or grains scattered through tho quartz. When the quartz hits a crystalline structure, which it often has, little nests of gold, likewise erystaliine, may be seen embedded between the interlacing crystals of the quartz. Where the interstices in the quartz are large, these are sometimes entirely filled up with gold;, but not unfrequently irregular holes and crevices seem to have been formed in the quartz by decomposition or rottenness, which have sometimes been subsequently filled with gold. In these cases, this gold assumes irregular forms, ' such as melted lead will when poured into water forms which ti.e given people the idea of the gold having been deposited in a, state of fusion, a notion in all probability 'utterthe gold got in tho ly unfounded.---Hoquartz,, is a point at present so uncertain, that no man of science would take upon himself' flie responsibility of 'answering Mie question. J he size of the irresular lumps ; thus entangled in the quartz varies greatly, the largest hithertpknown singVe lump in the world being an Australian one of 2,108 ounces weight. " It is,' .however, usually found in small flakes, grains, and deniritio strings, weighing ouly a few grains. Whenever tho moving waters of the sen, by which ' drift materials were formed and deposited nnd attacked rock containing gota, it would ot course break oti' lumps of it, just as of any other rock, and equally wash, roll, and knock it about, and hus break it into smaller fragments round it into pebbles, nnd grind it iuto Bund. In this way. much of , the gold would be knocked out of tho rock, and much water-worgold accumulated, or water-wor- n fragments of gold end quartz together. t From this pointi of time, however, thero is a remarkable difl'erence observable in tHo action'of the1 water on the gold, and on the rock which contains no gold. All kinds .of rock, or earth, or Stone, at all events all the qommoivkinds, tre pretty nearly' of the .iine specifio is to guy, of tho same gravity--fh- af weight, bulk, for bulk. Chalk, elay, limestone, eoippact saudstoao, gvauiie, marble, basalt, have all specific gravities varying from 2 to 3 that is, they are twice or thrice the weight of their bulk of water. Pure gold has a specific gravity of 10, or is nineteen times as heavy as its bulk of wakr; and the most impure ore of gold that occurs in nature has at least a specific gravity of 12 to 1". Gold i about six or seven limes as heavy as quartz or any other stone it u, likely to be astijted withj Thq cotisriuonco of this is, that moving water has at least seven times less power over it less power to move it along, either suspended in the watr or rolling along its bed. When ihe drift, therefore, was formed, vast quantities of stone might be removed to great distances, while the gold ,was left, behind, not far from if native site. All the large lumps of gold will certainly be but little removed, as also the large lumps 'ftf quartz, heavily freighted with gold. Grains of gold and small lumps mcy further, and fine dust, especially while scale-gol- d if flat and thin, may be carried to very considerable didtatices.jJoryrtn'jnVwA Trade Journal. to tbe finmt i'.oropean Watrhi,fr accurate time, that cost double or thn-- times tbe money.
