Berne's Famous Clock-tower

Berne's Famous Clock-Tower.

There is a celebrated clock-tower at Berne, in Switzerland. The approach of the hour is announced by the crowing of a cock. At the same time may be seen at the very top of the tower a man clad in a coat of mail striking the hours with, his sword on a large bell. As the hours are striking a troupe of bears make their appearance and parade around the tower, then make their exit. Long strings of carriages draw up every hour for the occupants to witness this interesting spectacle.
