Al 900 of $40 Bonds, or $l46,Sj on 100000 showing
the advantage to investors of changing their Govern

duce a still more favorable result
The high premiums which the stock of all the East

The Waters Pianos are known as among the
very best.--N. y. ErGagetlst.
Wecan speak cf the merits Of the Waters Pi
amos from personal ledge as being of the very
best quality. Christian I1fsliigsaesr
The Waters Pianos are built Of the very best

Our friends will find at Mr.. Waters store the
very best assortment of Pianos, Melodeons and Or
gans to be found in the United States -Graham's
Magazine.
MUSICAL DoISGs,- Since Mr.. Waters gave up
publishing sheet music, he has devoted his whole
capital ani attention to the manufacture and sale
of Pianos and MelOdeons. He has just issued
catalogue Of his new instruments, giving q new
scale Of prices, which shows a marked reduction
from former rates and his Pianos have recently
been awarded the First Premium al several Fairs
Many people Of the present day, who are attract
ed, if not confused, With the flaming adeertise-
ments Of rival piano houses probably overlook the
modest manufacturer like Mr.. Waters; but we
happen to know that his instruments earned him a
good reputation long before Expositions and ''hon-
ors' connected Herewith were ever thought of;
indeed, we have one of Mr.. Waters Pianofortes
now in our residence (where it has stood for many
years. of which any manufacturer in the world
might well be proud We have always been de-
lighted with it as a sweet-toned and powerful in
strument, and there is no doubt Of its durability
more than this some of the best amateur player,
in the city, as we'll as several celebrated panistss
have performed on the same piano, and all pro-
uounce ii superior and frst-class instrument.
