Pianos AND Music We learn that Horace
Waters, of 1873 Broadway, N. Y, agent for the
sale of many of the most celebrated makers of
Pianos and Meodeons, is offering them at prices
which we advise all who desire to purchase to
avail themselves Of. He is also selling his largo
and well known Catalogue of Music at one-third
of from the regular prices, and will forward tho
same free of postage. His offers to the trade,
teachers, and schools. are of the most favorable
of which he will be able to fill to
the letter, for having wisely adopted the cash sys
tem.- The Horace Waters Pianos are known a.
among the very best. We are enabled to speak
of those instruments with some degree of conf
dence, from personal knowledge of their excel
lent tone and durable quality.-N: Y. Evangelist
