ANGRY The South western employees
who are waiting here for their pay are
naturally becoming more discontinued
and impatient of delay daily, Tuesday
morning We heard loud threats of tear
ing down the piers of the bridge, and
the reiterated assertion that no one
should be permitted to do more upon it
until all arc paid. These men are in a
very hard situation and no one can
blame their impotence and anger; yet
it is to be hoped they will do no violence
as that would not make their case in any
way easier No wrong has been intend
ed them, and it is only by force of cir
cums:ances that this really great hard
ship is put upon them. But let the
cause be what it may, the delay has al
ready become, to them, an outrageous
one, aud can not be much longer contln
ued without danger of serious, trouble.

nial for the piano-POrtcs OF your manu-.
faci.Fe. We have now used the "PATEST
ARIoa PIANOS in our Conservatives for
a year, and have Ind fair opportunity of
testing their durability during that time.
The Pianos have been played upon almost
constantly, from morning till night, and n
Piano must indeed be good one 4 then it
will bear such constant use without show
ing signs Of detection. As for retaining
in tms, it outrivas any Piano Known to
ne.
Their peculiar Sweetness Of tone in the
treble, las compared TO other Pianos with
the ordinary metal agraffe arrangement,
is so striking that have had pupils re-
mark, while taking their lessons. that al
though they had at home what they sup
posed to be one of the best makes Of Pianos,
still fhe treble was very wiry-toned com
pared with the &" AKRON"
What makes them still more desirable
is their uniform volume of tone, which
enables the artist to perform n composition
in its true character.
In total, can conscientously endorse
all that is claimed by the AnloN PIANO
FORTE COMPANY for their superb instru-
ments, as consider them superior to any
other make.
