Baldwin, who, Ashneaur says, has taken
his wife from him and is living with her.

was the last thing that any man should
do to thus bring his family troubles be-

threatened to shoot him, and that the

Read The Following:

1t affords me much plcaure to give you, in these
few lines, very sincere testimonial for the Piano
Fortes of your manufacture. We have now used
the Patent Arion Pianos" in our Conservatives
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 st indeed be
good when it will bear such constant use with
out showing signs of detection. AS for renoi"i"y
tsae, it 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 their 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 tho
"ARION."
What makes them still more desirable is their
uniform volume of tone, which enables an Artist to
perform a composition in its true character.
In total can conscientiously endorse all that is
claimed by the Arion Piano Forte Company for
their superb Instruments, as I consider them SUI
perior to any other make.
Congratulating you upon the great success you
ave obtained in the manufacture of SO perfect an
instrument, remain yours,
Very truly,
HENRY SCHROEDER,
Director.

A proposition is ON foot to annex Utah
TO Nevada. 1t is said that the Nevada
delegation at Washington have been
assured by prominent members of Con-
gress that if Nevada wants Utah she can
have it. Most of the Nevada papers
favor the project. The principal Demo.
cratic organ, the Carson Regisfer, aud
the leading Republican organ, the Vir-
gina Enterprise, both approve the
scheme. When, however, they talk
about annexing Utah to Nevada. the
former having 10000 inhabitants, and
the latter but $4,000, the old puzzle
suggests itself, viz: Which il the tail
and which is the dog?
