DRowNED.-re learn that Rev. 5 M
Merrill, pastor of the NJ. Z. Church a.
Plattsburgh, was drowned IN the Saranac Riv
or, about 10 O'Clock Wednesday evening 1t
seems that Mr. Merrill with hIs three sons
were in a boat fishing above the railroad
bridge, when IN attempting to draw in an
anchor. he lost bis balance and fell over
boNd The current which was quite swift
bore him toward the railroad bridge. HIS
boys rowed after him, and heard their father
cry ''all right, but on reaching the bridge
he could not be found.
The river was dragged that night and yes
terday, but Mr.. Merrill's body bad not been
discovered at last accounts. Mr.. Merrill
had recently preached at North Adams, Mass
and his name has been lately quite prcmi-
nent IN the newspapers in connection with
an alleged clopement. He was a preacher
Of great ability Times.
We are informed that discerning persons
in Pittsburgh do not credit the story Of
Mr.. Merrill's death by drowning; that the
water where It Is said to have occurred Is
altogether too shallow to drown an active
man and that the transaction and report is
believed to have been concoctod to cover the
voluntary disappearance Of that gentleman,
consequent upon renewed investigations into
the facts OF the olopement scandal. We he
STATED to publish the original story Of the
elopement without more proof Of its truth,
and were glad to see the subsequent very
square retractions Of it, and to believe Mr..
Merrill TO be a slandered instead Of a guilty
man. There seems, however, to be some
thing about the whole case which needs
clearing up. The public probably have
not heard the last Of it.

AMERICAN Musical INSTRUMENTS. -Amer-
lean energy, ingenuity ami perseverance, are
triumphant in whatever they seriously under
take. It Is interesting TO watch the progress Of
manufactures, and observe how rapidly we are
excelling the Old World Nor IS this merely in
those common articles which require little skill
IN their construction IL appears 10 be the fact
that the greater the ingenuity required, the
more sure Is our Yankee land 10 carry off the
palm.
In piano-iortes, for instances, It Is well known
thst those Of the best makers among Us already
equal, if they do not excel, the best Of Europe
an makers. In reed Instruments. such as Ca
binet Organs. the superiority is yet more deci-
dedly with the American Instruments It is
conceded BY the best judges that the Mason x
Hsmlin Cabinet Organs, which have attained so
great a reputation at home, are far superior 10
any foreign instruments Of the class. The last
number of " New ZeitschrIl for Music" the
famous Leipzig musical journal, has a notice Of
one Of the Mason & Hamhn Organs, which the
editor has seen, and Of which he admits the
superiority. not only in full volume Of tone and
general characteristics, but especially in "the
mellow aud pleasing character Of its tones -
This favorable testimony is just. Those who
have not heard these beautiful instruments have
little idea OF the improvement which these max
ers have effected, and Of the charming qualities
Of their organs. II is not surprising that the
demand for them Is 50 large.-.N. Y. Musical
