MELODEANS
THIRTY-FIVE THOUSAND NOW in USE
Every Instrument w arranted for F,veYears

n presenting the AUTOMATIC ORGAN, we
l. boldly announce the greatest triumph in must
cal instruments of the age. During the past half
century, the French ana Germans have manufac-
tured reed instruments with double bellows and
two pedals Tor the feet to operate but the want of
the reversed or Exhaustion Bellows, (which is the
only bellows used IN our instruments, made il i'm
possible Tor them to prod ace the mellow, rich and
musical tone tor which instruments are cele-
brated.
Another objection to this method of blowing
was, that both feet being occupied, opportu nj
~ was offered for the management of the swell.
Within the past two ears, instruments construct
ed on tins Europesn plan of &c double blowers, >,
have been Manufactured in this country, and to
counteract this difficulty (want of a swelD lever
has been projected from the centre of the instru
ment, TO act upon the swell, and operated by the
knee The Inconvenience and contortion neces
sary to effect this object disagreeable enough
10 gentleman, bat To lady the use OF such an
aPPendage is nearly impossible. -aF
Our Autmatlc device obviafes this difficulty en-
tlrely the simple act OF blowing with more or less
force giving tbs desired increase or decrease In
the volume of tone. For seventeen years the
superior excellence of our Melodeons has no,
been Questioned, and for two years past the enor.
nous demand has made 1t impossible for us tc
meet our orders promptly. With our increased
iscilitles, we teei warranted in assuring our pat
rons that their orders will be promptly met, and
solicit continuance of their patronage.

Publishes the following singular nara.
tive:
A case exhibiting strange fatality 10 .
family has occurred in Trowbridge. There
was family named Watts residing at
Mtlkshan Forest. The father was taken
i'll, died and buried. On the return Of
the mourners from the funeral they found
the mother dead. She was buried, and
on the return Of the sorrowing relatives
from the grave. they found the daughter
dead. Last week surviving son died.
and letter containing the sad intelligence
was sent to Trowbridge, to the only snr-
viying child, woman named Jane Watts.
Her son took the letter, and, by way of
gently breaking the news to his mother,
told her her brother was i'll. Looking
up, she caught sight of the black border
Of the letter, and exclaimed: "He's dead |!
Ishall die, too"
Although previously well. she sat down
fainting in chair Her son, not think
ing his mothers words could be verified,
started for Melksham to see the last Off
ces performed to his uncle's remains. 10
his absence neighbor named Barnes hap
pened to 60 into his mothers house, and
found her partially insensible in chair.
attempted TO rouse her, but che fell from
the chair under the CRATE. He summon.
ed the neighbors, and medical assistance
was procured, but in spite of all attention.
she sank and died within . few hours Of
receiving the intelligence. At the in.
quest held on the body, the Coroner said
it was most extraordinary case. The
jury returned verdict of "died by the
visitation of God"
