This instrument took the highest prize over all

Soundirg-B0ard is made to vibrate to its fullest
possible capacity, producing much greater power,

discovery the common sized Square Piano is equal

FERTILITY OF THE WEsT.-Saturday we re-

Less than six weeks have passed since the
spot now occupied by the town of Evans was
howliDg wilderness of prairie. There was
not house here. To-day there are at least
one hundred completed and twenty-five more
going up. One week from to-day, if the wealth
er holds good, the number win be very largely
increased, for the completion of the railroad
will greatly expedite the transportation and
arrival of material and hurry up the compile.
tion of new buildings wonderfully. We
now have four or five good hotels and
boarding houses, but they are rather SMALL
Another house of respectable dimensions is
now going up, and when completed will ac-
commodate large number of guests, but
there is yet room for more. Like all new
towns we have a surplus of salo ons, but we
also have several good substantial wholesale
and retail grocery houses, either of which can
fill respectable sized wholesale bill upon rea-
sonable terms. We have butcher shop, shoe
makers shops, glove and fur store, black
smiths shops, corrals, ETC., etc., but no dry

GOVERNMENT AND RAILROAD SKcURITIEs-
The Secretary of the Treasury has advertised
that he will buy thirteen millions of Govern
ment bonds during December. This may keep
the price up to the present figure, but as Con-
gress may decide not to continue these pur-
chases, 1t is very likely that lower rates may
be looked for. Banks inform us that many
persons are now selling their Governments
while the premium is still large, and re-invest-
ing in first-class railroad bonds, which pay
about one-third more interest, and which are
a perfectly safe security. Among the bonds
now offered we know of none better than those
of the Ceutral Railroad of Iowa. The road
runs through one Of the richest portions Of that
splendid State, which is already we'll settled,
and gives it large business; and the directors
are gentlemen of wealth and high-standing.-
The bonds are being rapidly taken, and the ad-
vertsed agent in this place will furnish all par
ticulars. One thing is certain, a first mort
gage for a moderate amount, upon good rail-
road it one of the best possible securities.
