Complaints of the dullness of business
are almost always in order, but when a
Connecticut man grumbles because of
the dullness in the business of nanu:sc-

The BURDETT CoMB1NArIoN ORGAN
We had the pleasure of hearing this
beautiful instrument to its fullest capa-
city, both as regards power and the sweet
ness of its tones and variety of combina-
ton. To say that it is the best reed
instrument we have ever seen, does not
do justice to it. It is marvel in the
way of organs. The absence of the reedy
tone generally to be found in organs of
the kind, the exquisite voicing, the re-
markable initiating power and facility Of
control, (the transition from the fullest
tone to the softest being instantaneous
are points worthy of remark, and to be
found in no other instrument. Amongst
the stops that struck us as being the
most beautiful, are, LA Perfectione,"
Cello and Celeste, which by careful
combination, are susceptible of almost
endless variation and perfect imitation
of most of the popular musical instru-
ments. L d. Childs, Esq, of our city,
is the fortunate purchaser of the instru-
ment the Messrs. Tremaine and Pierson
used in their entertainments, and we
congratulate him on the possession of
the means of SO much social enjoyment
ana musical qualification. We are happy
to inform our readers that an agency for
the sale of these organs has been estab-
lished in our city in the person of Prot
VIM. 81. LyBrand, the popular leader of
the equally popular 9Th Infantry Band.
