TIE MASON b HAMLN CABINET ORGANS
No one who hears these instruments Will
be surprised at the very strong favor with
which they are regarded by our leading or
ganists. Their quality of tone is admirable,
round, sonorous, pure, and sympathetic !;
while they have abundant volume OF tone for
any private house, and quite sufficient for
smaller churches and for such halls as are
usually occupied by Sunday schools. With
all this, their capacity for expression is Won
derful, exceeding in some respects even that
of the largest and most costly church organs.
This is mainly effected by the introduction OF
slCeH, operated upon an entirely new prin-
ciple, which gives the performer very efficient
control of the tones he produces The mod
crate prices at which they are sold, and the
little space they occupy, are important prac-
tical advantages in these instruneuts.-Ncac

CAUTION FROM THE
AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY.

1T haTirg come to our Knowledge that i'm
tations of The American Watch have been
put upen tie market in great number, calcu-
lated hv their utter worthlessness to injure
the reputation Of our genuine producIs, to
protect our own interests and the public from
G position, we again publish the trade marks
by which our Watches may invariably be
known.
We manufacture fou- styles of Watches.
The First has the name
"AMERICAN WATCH CO. Waltham
Mass" engraved on the inside plate.
The Second has the name
! "APPLETON, TRACY & Co, Waltham
Mass, engraved On the inside plate.
The Third has the name
"P. S. BARTLETT Waltham, Mass" en-
graved on the inside plate.
All the above styles have the name Amer
lean Watch Co. painted or the dial, and are
warranted in every respect.
The Fourth has the name
"WM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass" engraved
on the inside plate, and is not named on the
dial
All the above described watches are made
of various sizes, and are sold in gold or silver
cases, rs may be required.
1t is hardly possible for US to accurately
describe the numerous limitations to which
we have alluded. They are usually inscribed
witk names so nearly approaching our own
as TO escape the observation of the unaccus-
toned buyer. Some are represented as made
by the "UniOn Watch Co., of Boston, Mass. "

named the "Soldier's Watch to be sole as
our Fourth or VIM. Ellery style, usually
known rs the Soldiers Watch" Others are
named the "Appleton Watch Co. )" others
the P. S. BaItLEr," instead of our "P. S. Bart
lett :" besides many varieties named in such
a manner as to convey the idea that they are
the veritable productions of the American
Watch Company
We also caution the public, and particu-
iarly soldiers, against buying certain articles
CALLED watches. so freely advertised in illus
trated papers as 'Army Watches" F0ficer's
Watches" 'Magic Time Observers" "Arcana
Watches" &C.. the prices of which are stated
to be from seven to sixteen dollars. A good
watch, in these times, cannot be afforded for
any such money.
A little attention On the part of buyers will
protect them from gross imposition.

EsaA week ago we had the pleasure of
attending the June Festival. held in the
Spring Mills Academy by the ladies and gen.
tlemeu of that vicinity and can truly admit
an agreeable surprise. We had been antici-
pating something fine, but the reality sur
passed anything our imagination had dared
to picture. 70 attempt a description of the
performance in detail would surely result in
failure to give any idea of its excellence,
and we viii be compelled to cenfine ourselves
to such as pleased our fancy most. The solo
ofa patriotic song entitled, "Unfurl the Flag"
was finely rendered by Mrs. F.; "Sleep On"
a quartette, and "Ring the Bell, "a full chorus,
were listened te with pleasure while the
song of jefferson D"-Slightiy changed to
suit the times--was received with great
applause. We noticed in this, however, a want
of proper respect for the ''prominent charuc-
teristc" of the Southern chivalrv." We
fixed the "American Girl IS Song" and
the "Gipsey Girl" didn't sing much like the
covered carts, pots, kettles, and pipes of our
youthful fears and dreams Mr.. Youngs'
performances on the violin are equal to the
best efforts of the masters--but we are much
afraid his story about the farmers dog and
the lost youth will have bad influence on
the rising generation. The Tableaux were
of superior character, particularly "Joan
d D'Arc"-very impressive, very difficult, but
very successful. The "Rising Sun" was a
"tall" sell, while Jeff was q sad reality.
The "People's Lawyer" was worth travelling
thirty miles to see. Solon Shingle, his apple
sass, darter and song are entitled to our
heartfelt thanks. Jus SOP
