Read The Following:

II affords much plcaure to give you, in these
few lines, very sincere testimonial for the Piano
Forfes of your manufacture. We have now used
the Patent Arion Pianos in cur Conservateries
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 mist indeed be a
good enc when it will bear snch constant uscwith-
out showing signs of detection. As for reDsafnfay
in fame, i. out rivals any Piano known to me.
Their peculiar sweetness of tone in the treble,
(as compared to other Pianos with the ordinary:
metal agraffe arrangement is so striking that
have had pupils remark, while taking lessons,
that although they had at home what they sup
posed to be of the best makes of Pianos, still
the treble was very wirey toned compared with the
#.ARION.''
What makes them still more desirable is their
uniform voiume of tone, which enables Artist to
perform composition in its true character
In total can conscientiously endorse all that is
claimed by the sArion Piano Forte Company for
their superb Instruments, us I consider them su-
peror to any other make.
Congratulating you upon the great success yen
lave obtained in the manufacturc of SO perfecl an
instrument, Iremain yours,
Very truly,

ESCAPED FROM THE PENIrENTIARY-
Fifty Dollars ReUard.-On Wednesday
night, some time after nine o'clock, a
convict named James Lewis effected his
escape from the Penitentiary at Mounds
Vile. He was confined in the second
tier of cells, the third or upper tier be
ing still unfinished. By some means
he succeeded, probably ten days ago, in
cutting off the rivets or bolts that fas'
tened together the iron plates constitut
ing the ceiling of his cell, and, showing
one of the plates aside, climbed into the
unfinished cell above, whence he crept
along the wall to place where he
could descend unobserved by the
guard The rivet-heads in his cell had
been initiated in putty stuck in the
proper places and properly colored so
as to avoid detection. His absence was
not discovered until yesterday morning
and prompt measures for his recapture
have been taken.
James Lewis was convicted in the
Circuit Court of Marshal county for
pocketpicking at Benwood, and has
still the greater part Of his term to
serve. He is described as being twenty
six years of age, FIVE feet and seven
inches high. light complexion, gray
eyes, brown hair, and having a scar on
his left temple, the mark Of burn on
his left arm above the wrist, and an ink
mark between the thum and finger OF
his left hand. A reward Of fifty dollars
is offered for his arrest and delivery at
the Penitentiary in Moundsvills.

THE MlDDLEBeURNE CAsE.-We learn
that in the case OF Doctor Maloy, OF
Middlebourne, receHtly on trial in Tyler
county for rape, an account of which
we published last week, the jury failed
to agree and was discharged without a
verdict. The popular excitement is
said to be very great and public senti-
ment is strongly arrayed against the
Doctor. The lady was an invalid under
his professional care at the time that it
is alleged the crime was committed.
