[BY TKMPUS KDAX RKKUM.J Perhaps iu the later decadrs in part icular the

interest i u olii clocks has generally deepened, and the i r value in the commercial sense has proport ionately increased. Many clocks of comparative an t iqu i ty are very beautiful i n design, and, in cal l ing up the long past, we are reminded tha t grandfather 's clocks were often bequeathed by w i l l to special favourites by thought fu l testators. I t is quite t rue to say that , especially in ru ra l distr icts , a reliable clock has been for centuries one of the most necessary and valued pieces of household furnishings, and iu the olden days, as now, i t was realised tha t on account of the length of the pendulum and i ts general construction, the " Grandfa ther ' s" clock was the most reliable t imekeeper. I n mansion and cottage alike the old clock is s t i l l revered.

I n the year of grace 1916, in the middle of the most fiendish war ever fought, M r A r t h u r Hayden asked M r C. Leo Keid , of Gem Bui ld iugs , Blackett-street, Newcastle-ou-Tyue, to assist h i m iu compi l ing a l is t of nor th-country clockmakers for his then for thcoming book, ent i t led , " Chats on old Clocks." M r Reid, i t appears, was able to give the enthusiastic author the names, and, iu most cases, approximate dates, of specimens of the work of about fifty of the old craftsmen. I n bis book M r Hayden names M r Reid as a contr i ­butor, and siuce its publication the wel l -known Newcastle jeweller has had many other names of old-t ime nor thern clockmakers given to h i m , thus rendering available 271 names. He says the difficulty is to find the date at wh ich these old makers worked, as many of their productions bear no indicat ive figures.

Thomas Bewick, as an apprentice, engraved clock dials. The occupation made his bauds as ha rd as those of a blacksmith , and almost disgusted h i m w i t h engraving. To revive memories which , by reason of their associations, cannot w i t h deeeucy be relegated to the l imbs of forgotten things, may prove interesting, and here, " upon this bank and shoal of t ime ," let us summon the past, and recall vanished forms and t ra i t s of good c i t izenship.

Clocks are enshrined iu the nation's l i te ra ture . Prince Henry , i n ' K i n g Henry I V . , exclaims : " W h y , Percy, I k i l l ed myself, and saw thee dead." Sir John fa ls taff makes answer : " Didst thou '? L o r d ! L o r d ! how this w o r l d is g.von to ly ing . I grant you, I was down and out of b rea th ; and so was he ; but we rose both at an instant, and fought a long hour by Shrewsbury's clock. '

Drydeu's t r ans la t ion ' of V i r g i l alone is sufficient to immortal ise his memory, irrespective of the freedom, grace, s trength and melody of his versification. I u " CEdipus," he wri tes in line imagery :—

" O f no distemper, of no b l a H t h e d i e i l . B a t fell Hkej K u ' a m n f ^ u i t th>i t mellowed lonif ; Kven wondered a t . lieciuae he dropt no noon--r. Fe.te p< e'tu'd to wind h m up for fourscore years ; Y e t feebly ran he on t e n winters more : T i l ! , l ike a clork worn oat with e a t i n t r time, The wheels of weaiy life at. Inst stood s t i l l ."

D r . Johnson said of " The Travel ler , or a Prospect of Society," by Oliver Goldsmith , " tha t there had not been so fine a poem since Pope's t ime ," and " The Deserted Vi l lage ," i u poiut of description and pathos is cer tainly above al l praise. Therein the poet, his torian and essayist—the friend of Johnson, Reynolds and Burke—familiarises the cottager's clock iu sweet, rustic s impl ic i ty :—

** T h e whitewashed w.tlls, the n i c e l y sanded floor, T h e v a v n i . h d cloek that elielc'd behind the door, T h e chest cont.riv'd a double debt to pay, A bed ut l i i v ' h t , ft d u s t of drawers by day."

B y nature, W i l l i a m Cuwper was unfit for the rough paths of life. He, however, was not only a voluminous wr i te r but a first-rate poet. I u addi t ion to translat ing Homer, wh ich he d id w i t h more accuracy than Pope, i f w i t h less finish, he wrote " The Task "—the best of a l l his poems—aud translated Madame Guyon's sp i r i tua l songs. I u " Winter Evening " occur the fo l lowing lines :—

» " Anil Katerfelto. wi th his hair on end A t his own wonder-, w nd-rinir for bis bread, ' T i s p'easant, throti -h the lo^p-holes of retreat, T o teep at such a world— to see the stir Of the pe - . t itabel, and u>i to feel the crowd.

One of the leading clockmakers at Barnard Castle, i n his day, was M r Michael Johnson, who occupied tlsc shop and premises for many years inhabited by the late .Mr E d w a r d T i l b u r u . M r Foster is the present occupant. Specimens of M r Johnson's handicraft are fctill to be found iu the town, one clock being iu the possession of Mr J . R. Ar rowsmi th , of " Teesdale House," who is a descendant on the side of his grandmother of this famous clockmaker. The late ML- Michael Johnson was the grandfather, on his mother's side, of M r Michael Johnson Dixon , J.P., of Woodl i igh M r Johnson was known far aud wide, and the fol lowing extract from a letter to the wr i t e r of th is sketch, from M r E d w a r d Wooler, solicitor. Dar l ing ton , the wel l -known aud esteemed ant iquarian, w i l l show the class of work wh ich M r Johnson produced: "Re fe r r i ng to our conversation, yesterday, can you very k ind ly t e l l me anyth ing about Michael Johnson clockmaker at Barnard Castle, as a fr iend of mine has a clock of his wh ich w i l l be about one hundred years old. I t is a t h i r t y hour clock aud strikes, w i t h a beautifully painted dia l , of which I enclose you a rough sketel A t the top there are two ladies engaged iu needlework in a garden, and i n the four corners there are four sporting dogs. I should imagine Michael Johnson to have been sport ing man."

' M r Johnson was a well-to-do, leading tradesman, and his r ich possessions i n gold and silver had evidently aroused the cupid i ty of certain " minions of the moon," for, on the night of February 9 th , 1836, his shor near the Marke t Cross, was broken into, and proper ty oi great value stolen. The place had been deliberately ransacked, the robbers being unheard by tbe inmates of the house, " T h Barnard Castle Associa t ion" took the mat ter up. T h i r t y guineas reward was offered for the discovery of the burglars, but they were never apprehended, aud none of the goods were ever recovered.

Somewhere between 1S18 and 1823, M r Thomas Humphreys was elected a member of " The Barnard Castle Association." The i m m o r t a l Dickens has rendered memorable the words, " Master Humphreys ' Clock," by adopt­ing them as the t i t le of a work of fiction. Perhaps this opportuni ty should be seized to pu t upon record t in : exact premises occupied by Humphreys, the clockmaker, at the t ime of the vibit to Barnard C'astlu of Dickens, some­

where about the year 1836. W i t h o u t doubt the best read man i n Teesdale at t ha t t ime , and for many years after, was the late M r Anthony Bainbridge Nicholson, of Cotherstoue, who served his apprenticeship as a painter w i t h the late M r T . Thwai tes , appurtenaut to the shop now occupied by M r James W r a t h a l l , who is also a paiuter and decorater, immedia te ly west of the Marke t Cross. M r Nicholson never followed his trade, he being a gentleman of independent means, and of ardent l i t e ra ry pursuits. He left i t upon asser-vat ion tha t at the t ime of the great novelist 's v is i t the late Thomas H u m p h r e y s occupied the shop now just again tenanted, at the Amen Coruer. M r H u m p h r e y s afterwards removed to the premises r i gh t opposite the old King's Head Hote l , now the proper ty of M r G . H . L iufoo t , who deals i n music and musical instruments. Dickens, of course, w i t h o u t question, stayed at the King 's Head inn , and commended the ale of the hostelry to Newman Noggs. Clocks made by Humphreys are common in Teesdale to-day. I t may be added tha t the late M r John Moukhouse, postmaster of th is t own , confirmed the statement of M r Nicholson, in his l i fe t ime.

Succeeding M r Michael Johnson, iu the same shop, was Mr Thomas Wilsou, who, as a clock-maker, was widely known. Many of his t a l l , well-finished clocks are s t i l l to be found iu the t o w n . The cases are most ly of mahogany, and are exceedingly we l l made and ar t i s t ica l ly designed. The dial of one now in the Market ­place shows his name, aud at each of the four corners is an excellent representation of a toy spaniel, whi le at the top is the pic ture of

quaintly-dressed maiden ca r ry ing a water jar , a rugged piece of fencing being shown i n the back-ground.

There is a clock in Raby Castle, and also oue at Barnard Castle, made by " Dgden, Dar l ing­ton . " M r Wooler says there were t w o Ogdens, clockmakers, i n Dar l ing ton , Bernard O g l e n and John Ogden, though i t would seem tha t thei r clock dials do not give the respective christened name of either — at least i n those of their manufacture Which have so far come under observation. The oaken case of a grandfather's clock tha t t icked for long, long, years at the Shaws, Wostwick, then occupied by Chris topher—popular ly kuown i u the farming communi ty as " K i t t y "—Rowlandson, is s t i l l extant . The original works of the clock were supplanted by first-class modern mechanism, by the present owner, who had the flue wood-work, already r i c h l y in la id , carved from drawings of wha t was at the t ime described as the oldest rereilos i n Eugland. I t was i u Brough Church, Westmoreland.

Considerable pride is taken iu old clocks in the dales, and in Barnard Castle as elsewhere there are numerous ornate specimens of the work of past artificers. M r Thwai tes was a line and honoured member of the profession, and carried on business at the foot of the Bank.

Perhaps one of the most famous clock and watchmakers who ever resided i n th is t own was .Mr W i l l i a m Porthouse, who was chosen a chajielwarden iu 1778. As a man who d id credit to the town of his adoption, M r Port-house is, iudeed we l l wor thy of mention. He was the owner of the promises w h i c h Air E r i c Richard Hauby Holmes, solicitor, announces for sale i n th is day's issue of this journal , comprising two shops 35, aud 37, Market­place w i t h cottages and extensive space iu the rear. The property is s t i l l known as '• Porthouse's Yard ," aud here he set up machinery of his own invent ion for the spinning of flax, w h i c h was moved by horse­power. He was the first person also to introduce the thrashing-machine into Teesdale; and at his field, near Bedekirk, people collected in scores on a market-day to see corn thrashed by this novel method. M r Porthouse's ingenui ty aud enterprise demanded a wider area than Barnard Castle could then afford, aud, i n 1784, he removed to Dar l ing ton . Here, iu M r John Kendrew, he met w i t h a k indred s p i r i t : the two men entered into partnership, and after a whi le brought out a series of engines for preparing and spinning flax. W i t h the assistance of M r Backhouse, the banker, they obtained a royal patent, and conducted the i r business on an extensive scale for tha t day. John Marshal l , of Leeds—the fpunder of the firm of the same name, wh ich became of world-wide celebrity—came over to Dar l ing­ton, and bargained w i t h the patentees at so much a spindle. B u t we hasteu on. The two, however, u l t imate ly separated, Kendrew moving to Haugbton-le-Skerue, and Porthouse to Coatham-Mundevi l le ; and at these two places the first two Engl ish spinners of flax by machinery received line and tow from the hecklers i n the neighbourhood, w h i c h they manufactured in to yarn , at a stated charge for each bundle of s ix ty thousand yards. A t one t ime nearly a l l the ground in Dar l ington upon w h i c h Keudrew-street and Albion-street now stand, belonged to M r Kendrew. He died at Haughton i u 1800: M r Porthouse died a few years afterwards.

M r C. Leo Reid asks : " May I appeal to your readers to send me the names, and, i f possible, dates aud detailed descriptions, of any old clocks in the i r possession, made by N o r t h Country makers ? I w i l l be glad to send any reader iuterestecf a copy of the list I have completed, as I find f rom numerous enquiries tha t there is a growing interest i n this subject."

Meanwhile, " after life's fitful fever they sleep wel l"—the veterans who w i t h marvellous industry and much ar t is t ic sk i l l laboured incessantly in their honourable cal l ing, s t i l l hoping " fo r a muse of fire tha t would ascend the brightest heaven of invent ion ."
