ADVENT.
Advent Bells.
—Advent bells are rung in many parishes throughout various parts of England during the month of December. A correspondent of N. & Q. (1st S. vol. i. p. 21) says that, in his neighbourhood—on the western borders of Berks—he has heard their merry peals break gladsomely upon the dark stillness of the cold evening from many a steeple round.
