--Gensral Grant on the Sd inst. tale
gsaphed to the War Department: 1--WE
are in possession of Richmond. A part Of

Stanton read the dispatch to an immense
crowd Of people in front of the War Office,
and asked the question, "What answer
shall return to Gen. Grant? ?" The null
titude impulsively responded, "Let it
burn" But the more thoughtful cried
out, "No, no, don't destroy it; We can
make good use of it." The noes had it,
and Richmond did not illuminate the VIC

We confidently believe that the LA PETITE
ORGAN, because of its artistic excellence and adapt
edneee to the practical wants of the public is des-
tined to be more widely used both in private houses
and in churches and halls than any other large mu

merits of the Piano Forte which stands confessedly
in the highest place as the interpreter of certain
classes Of music, superiority may be claimed for the
LA PETITE ORGAN In that to SOME extent 1t

are chiefly attached entirely superior to that of
