were generally taken down or destroyed,

were offered to them to come over from

The speaker closed with some eXplana-
lions of the Pcacham organ, showing that
among other eXccllances lit has one en-

The peculiarly OF this swell is that the
shades" are set PerpeRdicularly, Instead
of horizontally, and it can therefore be
moved silently and with the slightest el-
font OF the performer. and will stay at any
point where it i left. Any one acquaint-
ed with the organ will see at once the i'm
mcuSe advantage OF this invention.
The address Vas received with excellent
attention and roundly checrcd at lis close.
We have given 50 full au account OF it
because We consider it due to the author,
aS well rs likely To be of great interest TO
many OF the readers OF this journal. We
hope Mr.. Howe will become so attached
heard again i'll due time. and his hand
again touch the keys.
