_Chertsey, Surrey._--In the town of Chertsey in Surrey, the curfew is

regularly tolled for a certain time at eight every evening, but only

through the winter months. There is also a curious, if not an uncommon,

custom kept up with regard to it. After the conclusion of the curfew,

and a pause of half a minute, the day of the month is tolled out: one

stroke for the 1st, two for the 2nd, and so on.
