\ presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, We
L boldly announce the greatest triumph IN musI-
cal instruments of the age. During the past hall
century, the French ana Germans have manufac-
tured reed instrume nts with double bellows and
pedals for the feet operate, but the want OF
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (wh ch Is the
only bellows used Ia INSTRUMENTS made II I'M
possible Tor them to produce the mellow, rich and
musical tone Tor which our instruments are ceie-
bTated.
Another objection to this method of blowing
was, that both teet being occupied, no opportunI-
~ Was offered for the management of the swell.
Within the past two ears, instruments Construct
ed on this European plan CT " double blowers, ,"
have been manufactured IN this country, and to
counteraci this difficulty want of a s~ei) lever
has been projected fran the centre of the insiru
ment, 10 act upon the swell, and operated BY the
knee. The Inconveuie &c and contortIon neces
sar, TO effect thls object, dIsagreeable enough
to gentleman, but a lady the OF such an
appendagr IS nearly impossible
Our AutmatIc device ObvIaIes this d hicnlty en-
tirely, the simple OF blowing with more less
force giving The desired increase or decrease IN
the volume OF tone. For seventeen years the
been questioned, and tor two years past the enor-
NOUS demand has made IT impossible Tor us to
meet our orders promptly With our increased
facilities, we teel warranted in assuring our pat
rOns that their orders II be promptly met, and
solicit continuance OF their patronage.

MILK.-We were called upon yesterday by
one of the dealers in milk in this vicinity, who
explained that the high price of the article
teight cents per quartz was caused by the
farmers, who "refuse to reduce their price in
consequences, as they say, OF the high price Of
cows, and that it cannot be afforded for less"
How that may be with the farmers from
whom most Of the milk is obtained that is
brought to this city, we cannot say. But this
we do know, that on the line OF the Maine
Central road milk can be obtained much
cheaper than it can on the Grand Trunk. In
proof Of this we notice an advertisement OF
Mr.. Henry Caswell, in the Lewiston journal
of yesterday, stating that on after Monday
next he will furnish the citizens OF Lewiston
with good pure milk at FIVE cents per quart.
We advise our milk dealers here to try that
region, unless their suppliers win reduce their
price. aAs ga e
