It is everywhere acknowledged, and that,

most thorough and varied tests, that Pair

in correctness, convenience and durability

We have received several letters dur
ing she past week, from different parts of
the county, inquiring in regard to the
truth Of reports that the cholera had
made its appearance in Woodsfeld. For
she information of all persons we would
say, there has not been a single case of
cholera here at any time-there is no
Sickness Of any kind here now, and in a
very few words, Wocdsfeld is doing as
well as could be expected under the cir
cumstances, and We think will ultimately

people recover their equanimity, which
has been so terribly disturbed by the cir

SPECIAL NOTICES.
N Office

The beautiful Piano Fortes of GRovEsTEEN
& Co., are deemed by all good judges to be the
Ultima Thule of instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make
a musical instrument more perfect, although
we are slow to admit that the limit of i'm
provement can ever be attained.
Before they had brought their Pianos to
their present excellence, they had submitted
them to competition with instruments of the
best makers of this country and Europe, and
received the reward of merit, over all others,
at the celebrated Worlds Fair. II is but JUS
tice to say that the judgment thus pronounced
has not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied
by them to their Pianos, it is admitted that a
more perfect instrument has been made
They have accordingly achieved the paradox
of making excellence more excellent. Sure
ly, after this, they are entitled to the motto,
.'Excelsior," may29.
