Though removed early, few have won a worthier

1868. His first experience in the field un-

also participated in defending that post against
the attack OF Gen. Price, who repulsed. He
saw much active service in various expeditions,
and was present at the engagement at Little
Rock, Pine Bluff, Mobile, and Selma. After the
evacuation of Mobile by the enemy, he was sent
to Galveston, and thence to Brownsville, Texas,
of which post he was Provost Marshal until the
close of the war.

1t affords me much pleaure to give you, in these

Fortes of your manufacture. We have now used
the "Patcnt Arion Pianos" in our Coneervatories
for year, and have had fair opportunity Of test
ing their durability during that time. The Pianos
have been played upon almost constantly. from
morning till night, and Piano must indeed be k
good one when 1t will bear such constant usew5th-
out showing signs of detection. As for ressa;wixg
in twne, it out rivals any Piano known to me. .
Their peculiar swcctness of tone in the treble =
(as compared to other Pianos with the ordinary
metal agraffe arrangement is 50 striking that \
have had pupils remark, while taking thcirle
that although they had at home what they spp-
posed to be Of the best nakes Of Pianos, sun
the treble was very wirey toned compared with ths

What makes them still moro desirable Ia their
