The Perfect MeIOdeOn,
WITHOUT AN EQUAL.


A LMOST every mail from far and near brings
N to US some new evidence OF the great favor
and growing popularity OF this beautiful IDstru-
ment, and abundant testimonials are constantly
reaching us proving conclusively that no other
Reed Instrument contains so many exellencies as
the PERFECT MEL0DEON WITH BASS DAMPER
AND HARMONIC ATTACHMENTS,
The Harmonic Attachment is the most valuable
Of modern improvements-by it the power of the
Instrument is doubled without increasing its size
or the number of its Reeds.
Our NEWLY INVENTED HARMONIC ORGAN
for CHURCHES, CONCERT and LECTURE Rooms
has GREATER CAPACITY AND POWER than any other
instrument made in the Country, considering
the price.
1t Is FAR MORE SIMPLE and LESS LIABLE TO GET
OUT OF ORDER than other Reed Organs,
1t contains only HALF AS MANY REEDS as other
instruments of the same power, and consequent
ly not HALF THE EXPENSE to keep in tune.
1t has fine powerful PEDAL BASS with REEDS
disconnected with the other part of the instru-
ment.
Another entirely new feature in the Melodeon
enterprise is the PATENT HARP, or PIANO ATTACH
MENT, to the Melodeon.
This is precisely what its name indicates, CON-
BINATION OF THE MELODEON AND PIANO FORTE.
and meets precisely the wants and desires of o
large class who have long been anxious to see the
two instruments combined in NELODE0S size. In
this unique instrument the MELoDEoN, or PIANO,
may be played separately or combined, producing
an effect unknown to any other instrument, and
must be heard to be appreciated.
We have arrangements with some of the best
Piano Makers to receive from them regularly
PIANOS of the very best quality which will be sold
at less than Boston prices.
Also, PIANOS and MELODEONs to RENT
All Instruments warranted and sent to any part
of the country at our risk.
EsTY & GREEN, Brattleboro, vt.
10 The undersigned is authorized to act as
agent for Esty Green, in procuring for any who
may desire it, one of their Justly celebrated in
struments. Ifany of our readers should want ONT
of the best melodeons in the world, and will MAKE
known their wishes, they may rely on being served
to their entire satisfaction.

NEW lORk, April Z. IetIer from thc
Secretary of the Treasury to the Collectors
say. that in consequence of the control of
the warehouse of the government in the
ports of South Carolina, Georgia, AL
ALBANIA, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida
and Texas having been usurped, it is i'm
practicable to continue the privilege of
bonding goods for transportation to those
ports, and Collectors a re instructed that
no entries for Transportation in bond to
said ports can be permitted.
The Posts Washington dispatch says
the question of the reinforcement of Fort
Sumter is still open, and its reinforcement
is not considered improbable.
Proposals for s, 100000 of the new loan
came from Boston, and $2G,000,000 from
New York. .......
New ORLEANS, April 2. Texas advices state
that Col. Ford has been reliably Informed
from Matamoras that Gen. Ampudia with
5000 Mexicans is GO miles off, marching
on Brownsville. Ampudia has dispatched
expresses with placards and handbills
announcing that Texas rightly belonged
to Mexico that she would no longer have
the support of the Federal government,
and now was the time to take her. Rein
forcements in large numbers were rapidly
coming in to him.
HARTFORD, April Midnight. The
Republicans have elected their State tick

Nothing of Importance has transpircd

sions are scarce at Fort Pickens.
Troops, provisions and ammunition are

It was noon and we were sitting on a

the rushing together OF: vast bodies of
water: The natives Jumped up in
stantly and raised an uncarthly shout,
scampering in an opposite direction.
Turning toward the lake, I beheld a
secAc which I never shall forget. I,
too, had to run off some distance
to escape the great heat. Tho whole
surface of the lake was in q state of
tho widest commotion. Wave
clashed on wave, and all was confusion

LAKE OF FIRE. il

A correspondent of the Alt1 cali.
fo,,aia,. gives the following incidents Of
a visit to the volcano Kilanca, in tho
Sandwich Islands, thirty-six miles
from, rHilo. After saying that. the
crater Of this volcano IS in a vast pit
in the midst Of an immense plain, hav.
ing only a gradual rise to the center
and that within a quarter of annie is
the entrance to-a great cave, which he
and his guide explorcd-he says:
Suddenly wo5cano to a high bank,
and looking down We bshcld the lake
Of fire. s-haneath rs about seycnt-fivc
feet. This lake IS some thin moro
than a mile in circumference. There,
lin fullvicw, were real waves Of liquid
fire, ola bright red color, sputtering
and splashing like ocean waves! 8 A
little island ofshard lava stands in the
middle Of the lake, against the black
sides of which the waves Of fire dashed
with tremendous fury, and breaking
on lis jagged cliffs, they would cast
their red spray high into the sir. The
sides Of this lake are solid walls Of, red
fire, glowing with fearful intensity.
