_Anecdote of a Peal of Bells_.--There is a story, that a person had
long been absent from the land of his nativity, where in early life,
he had assisted in setting up a singularly fine peal of bells. On his
return home, after a lapse of many years, he had to be rowed over some
water, when it happened that the bells struck out in peal; the sound
of which so affected him, that he fell back in the boat and died! Can
any of your readers give a reference where the account is to be met
with?
