Mr. II. C. Scorr:--The Hallet, Davis Co. Piano pur.
chased from you last September, proves to be ex
traordinarily fine instrument. From the long estab-
shed reputation of instruments of this
We expected much, but expectations have been
than realized in every respect. Tho instrument
has been transported from Boston, Mass and been in
use daily for months, without tuning hammer It.
It becomes more and the favorite of house.

Ma. H. c. soorr-Dear Sir:-It gives mo great
pleasure to add my testimony that which you already
have in favor of the Hallet, Davis Co. Piano pur-
chased 20 months ago. There has been but opinion
expressed by my many musical friends who have tried
It. and that u.s. that it is unsurpassed for brilliancy
purity and fulness of tone and for very powerful
though remarkably easy and elastic action. Another
very important feature in these Pianos is the great
length of time they stand in tune can cheerfully
and confidently recommend these instruments to any
wishing to purchase being second to no other make.
The patent suspension bridge lately introduced into
these instruments gives tm volume of tone strength
and durability which is not affected by sudden ex-
trcmc changes of the weather like many cheaper makes
of instruments. II. d. EVANS.
MoGREGoR, Iowa, May Sth, 1865.
Mn. II. G. Scorr-Dear sir:-I consider it pleasure
to give my testimony of entire satisfaction of the beau
tiful Piano purchased of you last fall manufactured
by Hallet Davis Co. of Boston. So far it stancs in
tune admirably and those best qualified to judge have
expressed the highest admiration of its power elasticity
of touch, sweetness of tone and perfect harmony
throughout. consider this make of instruments
superior to many that sell for much larger prices
and can hearth recommend them to all.

YANKEEs.-The Southern people have always
called Northeynsrs Yankees, but Northernep
never accepted the name. All the people Of
the Middle States spurned II, and referred the
seeker for Yankees to the regions Of down

ticut sent him on TO Massachusetts,, Vermont, or
Rhode Island; they TO New Hampshire, and

changed oil that We are all Yankees now,
and accept the name; and it is very good one.

designation Of the people Of the United States,

American that we now share with all the other
peoples OF the continent If IL does will

A WARNING TO CTY RAILROAD CoMPANrEs-
The very proper verdict rendered in the Su-
preme Court, on Tuesday, in the case of the
lady who was injured in stepping of a railroad
car, by which the Second Avenue Railroad
Company were mulcted in $2,500 damages, is q
wholesome warning to oil these companies, as
well as an encouragement to every one who
may be injured through their negligence to
prosecute in all such cases. II. our citizens
were to refuse all compromises, and lay their
grievances before the District Attorney and q
jury Of their countrymen, there would be less
accidents on the city railroads. The same ap-
plies to butcher boys and others who drive
wagons recklcssly through the streets 1t is
but short time since a boy was run over
by two butchers wagons and seriously injured.
His guardian promptly brought an action
against the owners Of the wagons, and obtained
pretty smart damages from one of them. The
other case, we believe, is not yet decided
This Is the proper way 70 deal with such cases,
and II is the duty Of every citizen 10 protect
bis neighbor as well as to vindicate himself by
instituting prosecutions against the offending
parties, whether they be companies or indi-
viduals.

THE CHANCES FOR ANOTHER GREAT BATrIB.-
After the failures of General Joe Johnston to
prevent the junction Of our forces in North
Carolina, il is hardly probable that, single
handed, he will risk another collision with Sher-
man. After the late equally decisive failure Of
Lee to break through and double up tho lines
Of General Grant, II Is not likely that he will
repeat that experiment without assistance. John
ston must fall back to Lee, or Lee must join
Johnston before either can make another fight
In this extremity We should say that Johnston
would hurry up to Richmond but for the dam
gers Of third party menacing the last remain
ing communications Of Lee--and that party is
Sheridan. Ills cavalry are on the south side Of
the james, and within day or two we may
hcar that they have tapped the Danville Rail-
road. Then the only alternative to Lee will be
the evacuation Of Richmond and this will, per
haps, be the next great even! of The closing
scenes of tho drama.

All questions In dispute TO bo loft undecided and con-
sdered as open question:

THE INAUGURAL IN ENGLAND.

The Tines admits that he las fulfilled the duties
which destiny imposed him acih frnsaess and nci-
