The Perfect MelOdeOn,
.. 90
WITHOUT AN EQUAL.

A IMOST every mail from far and near brings
N to us some new evidence of the great favor
and growing popularity OF this beautiful llstru-
ment and abundant testimonials are constantly
reaching us proving conciuslVely tnat no o.he,
Reed instrument contains so many eXellencies as
the PERFECT MELODEON WITH BASS DAMpER
AND HARMONIC ATTACHMENTS,
The Harmonic Attachment is the most valuable
of modern improvements-by 1t the power OF the
Instrument is doubled without increasing lts 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,
Ii 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 a fine powerful PEDAL BASS with REEDS
disconnected with the other part OF the instru'
ment. t,A
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, COM
BINATION OF THE MELODEoN AND PIANO FORTE,
and meets precisely the wants and desires OF a
large class who have long been anxious to see the
two Instruments combined in MELoDEoN size. In
this unique instrument the MELoDE0N, or PIANO,
NAV 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 MEL0DEoNS to RENT.
All instruments warranted and sent to any part
of the country at our risk

YANKEE sTRATAGEM.

During the Revolutionary war, two
brothers from one of the eastern ports
were commanders of privateers; they cruz
sed together and were emincntly sue
sessful, doing great damage to the enemy
and making money for themselves. One
evening being in the latitude of the shoals
of Nantucket, butmany miles to the east
ward of them, they espied large British
vessel having the appearance of merchant
man, and made towards her, but to their
establishment, found her to be frigate in
disguise. A very high breeze prevailing,
they hauled off in different directions
One only could be pursued, and the frig-
ate gained rapidly on him. Finding that
he could not run away, the commander had
recourse to stratagem. On sudden he
hauled in sail, and all hands were employ
cd with setting poles, as if showing his
vessel off bank, The people on board
the frigatc amazed at the supposed dan
ger they had run, and to save themselves
from being grounded, Immediately clawcd
off, and left the more knowing Yankee ito
make himself scarce" who as soon as night
rendered itprudent for him, hoisted sail
in sea two hundred fathoms deep

NUTTING TIME.

The nuts are ripe and the day is fine,
The purple hills in the sunlight shine
And the brown nuts redden the trembling tops,
Of each gnared tree in the hazel copse.
The copse is filed with the happy noise
OF laughing girls and Ginning boys.
And the beaten branches yield their fruit
That heavily drops at each old trees root.
Under the brow of the copse-crowned hill.
Ethel and sit silent and still,
And hold in mine her small white hand,
The smallest and whitest in the land.
Gather your fruits We lads above,
And fling the nuts at the girls you love;
The only fruit that to me was dear,
have gathered to-day in the white hand here.

New Article for n Bed.

New Article for Bed.
We had an opportunity the other day of exam
lining a model of the new Spring Bed, recently
invented by Mr.. Thomas Toman of Fitchburgh
Mass, and which is 81 highly recommended by
those who have used it in Lowell Mas hua,
Fitchburgh, etc 1t looks like first rate thing
1t is made somewhat on the principle of pair of
bellows-ar tight at the bottom, with the eXcep-
ton of holes with " clappers" over them to
admit the air when the pressure is taken from the
top of the bed. When the pressure is again made
upon the top, by movement of persons sleeping,
the " clappers'' close, and the air is forced out
through the upper part or - stuffng' of the bed,
which is porous, thus continually ventilating it
and keeping it free from all impurities The
upholstry is set upon spiral springs, braced so
perfectly as to render it impossible for them to
slip out of place and the filling is made of either
hair, moss, or prepared husks as any one may
desire. 1t is certainly a very perfect bed, and its
invention reflects much credit upon the ingenuity
of Mr.. Toman.
We are also gratfed to refer to a few of those
who have used these beds in st. Adams and vi
cinity, viz -

Hangkow the distance is one hundred and

1t is an enormous place, although not half
the size 1t was, as seen by the ruins. Life and
activity prevailed, and, if not interiered with
by revolution, its already immense trade is
likely to increase. Communications by water
lead from it in all directions. The principal

We are indebted to a friend who left lamp.

that vicinity. 1t is Truly u hard matter that
we should he thus cut off from our friends and
relations by a ruthless, cut-thruat horde, who
up to n week or 50 ago, prolcSsed undying
friendship for US because they made
money out Of us. Those men Of the Rvolu-
ton who joined in The Union 81 reluctantly;
does this state OF affairs not show their pru.
dence and foresight? Did not the Scrdid,
grasping, over.rcaching spirit Of the Puritan
convince thcm hat they were uniting the
destinics Of their cilildrou in bonds that would
lose the spirit that animated the Sirrs Ct I'd
But a day Of retrihution is IT hand.
There were but two Union votes given in tire
town of Hampton.
On Thursday, Major Ewcli, Mr.. Ray and
another gentleman, were taken prisoners while
on guard in the vicinity VI Hampton. They
were afterwards released. On the same day
in the evening about three o'clock, two regi-
ments Of Federal troops from Old Point, NUN
boring about l $50 lncn, marched out Of the
Fort fully armed and equipped, with riled
cannen, muskets, etc. Their destination was
Hampton. On arriving within a few hundred
yards of The bridge, about ! 900 Of them, con.
sisling Of the artillery aud , II portion
Of the musketry, came TO u halt, Us q
reserve, whilst fj0 of the troops, con.
sisting chiefly Of r~ite,neD, marched into the
town, rs high as the Cross Streets. When
they were proceeding over the bridge, they
were luct by Major Cary, vino wished to DC
informed OF their intentions; 10 which they re-
piled that they cane for the purpose Of re-
connoitering. He then asked if they intended
to modest anything; they replied that unless
they were molesttd they would not. He then
marched up as far US they went, through the
town, in company with the officer in command
Of the Federal forces, and returned to the
bridge with them, where they parted.
Immense excitement prevailed among all
classes; the women and children were cndeay-
oring to escape FROM the clutches Of the advan-
cling demons, whilst the men and boys were
anxious TO march to the bridge TO meet their
hatred foes in mortal combat. They we're,
however, ordered to the country BY Major
Gary, which they submitted to, though Sp-
parently with great indifference
Major Cary's conduct OH the occasion can
not well be too highly commended, US a single
act of rashuess would have been sufficient 10
have enveloped the town in flames.
During the night, the citizens were tuSily
engaged III moving their furniture, goods, &C.,
to places Of safety in the country.
On Friday. about six o'clock, y. NJ, an
alarm was given that Tie Federal forces were
again crossing the bridge, caused by an ad
vsnced guard occupying the posts which oui
guard had been holding up to that time. There
was another general equipment Of the ~citizeas
with ELL kinds of aYallnnie XeanuuS.
