Orange County Journal, all of which papers are
to be united and printed at Windsor. The
Windsor Journal is 10 be furnished in place of
the Aurora and Orange Couaty Journal with a
change Of heading. AS they are both to be
printed at Windsor, it will leave Orange Coun-
ty without any Republican County paper, and
we therefore trust our friends will take the OPP
portunity to give the Freeman a good addition
by way Of new subscribers. There is no reason
why paper would not prosper in Orange
County if in any County so near the Capital
for the County is as prosperous, and the people
as generally patronze home papers, as any
County in the State. But there is too much
competition, and too many poorly conducted
papers in tho State still.

TIE LARGEST Music STORE IN THE UNITED
STATES --We condense the following descrip-
ton of D,son & Co. g new Establishment from
Dwights Journal of Music. 1t is the most ex-
tensiye Music Publishing House in America
the largest probably in the world.
Ditson & Co. s.-The splendid new store,
| No 277 Washington street, which has sprung
up in our midst like a palace in the night. as
in oden days of magic, has become occupied
| BY Messrs Di,son & Co. and is undoubtedly
the most extensive and best establishment, Of the
kind in the country, if no, in the world. The
building is of granite on the front, five stories
high. and from the foundation stone to the Top
is devoted 10 the sale Of music The retail de
partmenl is on Washington streat, and is very
lasiefully andconvcniently arranged for public
accommodation. In this department, the music
embracing every published note that has come
from the press for years, is classified and letter
ed so accurately, that demand for piece o.
music of remote or recent date, whether foreign
or domestic, is instantly answered. The vari
Gus kinds Of music are placed in compartments
by hemselves-airanged under the system o.
numbers and letters, and the naming of piece
with statement Of lis character, if inslru
mental or vocal, Immediately suggests its local.
lily, and the clerk Of the department specified i.
enabled at once to place his hand upon it. The
system is perfect and its advantage is constantly
tested Below the retail store, in the base
ment, is the vast stock of reserve sheet music
TO supply The store above, and the visitor walk.
through lanes of silent song wherein is every
r specios of written musical composition, await
ing the call te be heard. Passing up and MP
through the five stories, the same exceilen, dis
cipline is observable. The second is appropri
aed TO the storage of pianos. of which xrg,
number are constantly lei. The third is devoted
to the storage of books, comprising mostly III,
publications Of the firm, including the vauabl,
edition of the operas lately published All tn,
a musical publicatiors of the land may also b,
a found in this department. Farther up, the op
Grafton of plate stamping is performed, an,
; again farther up is where the printer throws of
Q the sheet music that is prepared for them by thu
stampers below. Over one thousand reams o
music paper are annually consumed in the publ
cations thus prepared. An immanse safe, 70
the reception Of the plates after printing, is sit
usied in the basement Of the building, which i
full from top to bottom. The increase of bust
= ness to call for all this must be very great. w
d remember Mr. Ditson when he commenced bus
ness at his old stand, then full cOmmodiou
enough for his operations, and have watched hi
increase since with interest. We feel glad a
his success, and regard ii as another instance o
the poweref music.
