The old custom of ringing the " Pancake Bell" at noon on Shrove Tuesday as a signal for the commencement of fritter frying is still kept up at Davenbury , in Northampshire , ancl elsewhere ; whilst at Woodchester a muffled peal is rung on Hol y Innocents' Day . There is a valley in Nottinghamshire where a village is said to have been SAvallowed up ban earthquakeand it was the custom at one time for the

y ; people to assemble in this valley ancl listen to the fancied ringing of the church bells underground . When the church at Iukberrow was rebuilt on the new site many years ago , it was believed that the fairies took umbrage at the change , as they ivere supposed to be averse to bells . They accordingly , legend tells , endeavoured to obstruct the building , but as they did not succeed the following lamentation is alleged to have been heard b y the startled rustics of nei

the ghbourhood" Noither sleep , neither lie , For Inkbro ' s ting-tangs hang so nigh . " i One of tbe ¦ most widespread and popular of English customs is that of

ringing " the old year out ancl the new year in . " Our present poet laureate has made thisusuage the subject of some masterly verses , the first of which we will transcribe as an appropriate conclusion to our little paper on " Church Bells "— '
