The Old Farmer'. Clock.. To us the most In teresting oxhlblts at the fair last week were a couple of clocks built by an old farmer of Wllliston, and the old farmer himself. The clocks aro elegant pieces of workmanship, and nearly perfect tlnio koepers, but their great Interest arises from tho fact that they were built by a man well along In years, who, before cout mencing upon them, was ignorant of clock principles, but was a natural born mochanlo and mathematician. He manufactured all his tools and machinery to build them with, and built orery part of thorn hlmtolf. In cluding the handsome ornamentation on tho glass. Tho largo clock, which Is the most Interesting of the two, will run nine days without winding and will give an alarm lor rewinding six hours boforo stopping. It has two oscapement wheels and mores perfectly nols- lossly. Instead of striking each hour It plays a tunc, changing to a different tune for every day In the week. Tho musical attachment was built by tho old farmer aud tuned by himself though ho Is too deaf to hear It play. Inside tho pendulum ball li a clock which keeps accurate time, and Is moved by tho vibration motion of tho pendulum It forms a part of. That motion of courso glros It tho samo spoed as the Urgo dock. Tho smaller clock Indicates the timo of day at orery placo on tho glebe, where tho sun Is rising and where It Is setting every moment, and the difference of tlmo be tween any two places. Altogether theso clocks aro a curiosity to any one of a mechanical turn and should bo visltod by every such person who has an opportu Inty to see them. STATE NEWS.

Ono of tho most Importaut reforms of tho age is tho introduction of tho metrio svstcm ot weights and measures, for tho furtherance of which an association, including several roniincnt teachers and others, has lately been organized under tho titlo of the American Metrio Bureau. Tho adoption of tho metric system is merely a question of timo. no ono can examino the sub cot care fully without boing Struek with tho saviog of time, trouble nud mental labor that would bo accomplished could it bo substituted for tho cumbrous and chaotio system if system it can properly be called now in vogue, over tho "tables" of which so many hours of child noou are wasted that might bo put to better purposes. To our posterity it will bo a mattor of wondor that a plan whloh recom mends itself by lis simplicity, symmotry and easy acquirement was so long in making auy hoadway among a pcoplo claiming to bo in tno iront rank: ot progress. iNo better illus tration of its benefits can be found than tho comparison bctwoon our present ourreuoy and tho pounds, shillings and ponco of our forefathers. Uvory ono who has rosidod or travelled in England will recognizo tho ad vantages,' of tho decimal system as applied to coinago its contrasted with tho clumsy and intricato method still in uso thoro. Why should not tho samo simplification which has proved such a boon in tho mattor of currency bo carried into othor depart ments? It has already been adopted iu Franco, Germany, Austria, tho Netherlands, Southern Europe and South America, and is legalized hero as well as in Urcat Britian. There is ono respect, and perhaps only one, in which it is interior to tho present system, and that is its nomenclature, aod no doubt this defeat has stood somewhat in the way of its becoming popular. How much simpler aro tho good old Saxoo terms, "foot," "yard," pound," "gallon,"' "ton," "mile," than tho inillimtrcs," 'hoctolitora.'1 and "dekagrams" of the metrio system. It would greatly con tribute to tho succoss of tho movement wero its promoters to retain tho old familiar terms, and transfer them to their nearest equivalents in tho now system. This sugges tion, wero it adopted, might seem to dotract somewhat from tho universality ofthosoheme, but this would bo rather in appcaraneo than reality, as tho "decimal" terms proper could bo continuod as synonyms for international Intercourse, whilo tho English phraseology was employed in every-day transactions. A correspondent of the N. 1 . Herald at Oil City, l'enn., furnishes somo very interest ing particulars in regard to tho recent rise in petroleum, tor two or threo years past prices havo continued to dcolino. Large wells only could bo mado to pay, and tboso which produced only oight or ten barrels per day wero abandoned, and the ownors oontin ucd to hunt for hotter territory, fortunes wero lost and many good business men wero driven to bankruptcy. Somo of tho small oil towns were entirely deserted, and others, which bad formerly had a population of 8,000 to 1U.UUU, wero lelt with only a few hundred voters, in tho midst ot this long continued depression thcro camo a sudden turn in tho market; and dunug tho mon'.h ol August tho price of crudo oil nearly doubled, and somo largo fortunes wero mado in a single day. Upon ono day whon thoro was an ad- vauco of ,n cents a barrel one fortunate peculator cleared 8800,000. This great advance is attributed mainly to tho growing demand lor consumption without the in creased productiou to offset it. During Aug ust 2G8 new wells wero sunk, but of theso 40 wero unproductive. The aggregato daily production ot theso now wells was 3,ouu barrels. During tho same month last yoar thcro were only GO now wells completed, giving an averago daily production ot 14 1.) barrels. (Jo tho urst ot September there wero being drilled in tho cntiro oil region, !)()! wells, and tho utensils were being got into place lor .So J others. At that timo tho daily production of tho entire region was 20,500 barrels. Tho August demand had absorbed tho entire productiou of tho month and drawn from tho reserve slock on hand, 11,878 barrels per day. Tho total amount of reserved Btock in hand ou the 14th of September was 3,104,384 barrels; Tbc prico at tbo wells, ono year ago, was 'Jo cents a barrel ; tbo present prico is g.i.'JU per bar rel, with a still upward teudenoy. Tho Fpccial correspondent of tho New York World at Philadelphia has been amus ing himself in getting the opinions of tho foreign exhibitors at the ecntounial regardiug this lankco nation, and has compiled bright and gossipy letter therefrom.' Tho Turks think tho Americans "good, big chil drcu," impertinent and ill bred. The com inissioncrs Irom iMoJlahons llepublio say that "tho American modo ol lite, as tar as catiug is conoorned, is detestable," and that we need a public school of cookery, such 0110 as Iur. liakor of Wellcsly proposes to found. "American clothing is choap, but shoes are doar ; our machinery is ingenious but requires too much coal. Los Kspanoles declares tho Yankees to be "tho most cordial and honpitablo pcoplo in tho world." Meat is doarer in Philadelphia than in Madrid or Seville, aud our clothing is higher than that furnished by the Spanish tailors. On tbo whole, living is cheaper hero than in Alfon so's kingdom. Tho Italians thiuk our coun try "a money-making machine, whoso "god is tho dollar," and they urgo a reformation in our cuisino. Living hero is nuito as cheap as in Italy, houso roots excepted, 'lbo Swiss express satisfaction, but miss their "after-dinner coffco." Tho Germans consider America tho paradise of working men, but its domestic life imperfect as compared to that ol the rather land, lbo Austrians do- nloro our icnoranco and inability to eav 'please,'1 and "thank-you." Tho Danes say that. our middle classes are not so well cdu cated as theirs. The liclgians think our stomachs must bo out ot order and that wo eat too much meat. Tho Dutch Cod clothing and rents dearer bore than in Holland, the Mexicans recommend tho hanging of cxtor tionato hackmen, and the Chinese Bay that it "coiteo muchoe money to liveo in Molica." All thoi'blatsted furrincra" would like to iostituto social reforms, and all aro unani mous in thoir verdict of bad, indigestible food, Tho new birth of business continues to bo felt throughout tho country. Kigbt steam ships sailed from New York, Saturday, aud were toon iiisuiiicicnt to iuku iiiu iiiiiiiou.iii freight of grain, flour, cheese, butter, fresh meat and meat provisions, cotton, tobacco and leather, which was offered for shipment. Chicago and St. Louis report rather moro demand for money irom tno country, itio northwestern farmers, howevor, aro disposed to tako their timo about marketing their products, and the millors of Minneapolis havo formed an association to purchaso all the wheat for salo in northwestern Minnesota and convert it into flour at tne rate of 000,000 bushols a.month. Wool is the most buoyant raw ttaplo just now, greatly to tb satisfaction of Vermont and othor farmers, The dry goods manufacture: and trado con tiuuo to itnprovo, also tho leather and boot and shoo Interest, 'ine iron interest is still very dull, und may not recover much beforo another spring, Ooo or two Sheffield Qrms are crodited with an intention to rcmovo their works to this country.
