The STECK PIANO.-We feared that the fetal

The following, in reference to the Steck Piano,

exactly with our own experience the.purchage
of one of these instruments, that we endorse and
adopt il as our own:
People who have tried to get "puffs' in the

the experiment. For the very reason which this
statement implies are quite willing at times
to accept the imputation of putting for the sake
of doing good that we think is deserved.

ing the experience, and 80 awarding the praise
which we are satisfied is honestly due. Now,
we have subjected such an instrument to pro-
tracted trial. and that at the hands sof experienced
and fastidious connoisseurs; and We make bold
to say on the strength of this that, all things
considered-purity and sweetness of tone, price,
finish, and the various technical qualltie. which
are most esteemed-the Steck Piano is every
thing that its makers claim, and that those who
buy it are certain of getting thoroughly good
instrument at moderate rate.

DiabOlical Outrage at Utica.

Michsel Conlin was brought here from Utica
on Wednesday and lodged in Jail Oh charges so
serious that, it proved, they may cad in his
stretching hemp. The substance OF the matte.
is that shortly after the Chicago fire, Mr.. Neary,
u farmer residing mile or two east of Utica,
met upon the highway a young woman, who
said she was trying to make her way from Chi.
cago to her friends in St. Louis, but was desti.
tute, and desired meantime to have employment
TO help her along. Mr.. Neary took her to his
houce, and finding her apt at work, tidy and
irreproachable in conduct, employed her perma.
nently. Meantime she had made the acquaint.
ance Of Conlin, man Of low character, who 90.
casionally visited her at Neary's. Last Saturday
the woman, having earned about SEQ, proposed
to leave for St. Louis, but reaching the depot at
Utica too late for the train, met Conlin, who
proposed to accompany her back to Neary'. The
two, however, did not reach Nesry's, but en-
Tuesday, young man named Prentiss, while
out hunting, heard strange noise in cave.liks
opening in the bluff, aud entering the cavity
found the young woman lying helplessly deIiri.
ous with an empty bottle Of whisksy near her.
She was taken by Prentiss to Neary's, where, be.
ing restored to consciousness, she stated that
Conlin had taken her to the cave on Saturday,
and after violently and repeatedly outraging her
person. had left her in her helpless condition. On
Wednesday the woman died, and Coroner Bry
having held an inquest and asertained the above
facts, issued warrant Tor the arrest of Conl.,
upon which he was arrested at La Salls and
brought to this city and lodged in Jail.
The woman, who was not over 20 years Of age.
states that her maiden name was Ann O'Brlen,

'ahundred years of age; he. received him
kindly, washed his feet, provided supper,
aud caused, him to sitdqkn; but, observing
that the old man eat and prayed not, nor
begged blessing on his meat, asked why
he did not. worship ,theg God Of heaven
The old man told him that he worshiped
fire only; at which answer Abraham grewso
jealous that he thrust the old man out of the
his tent and exposed him to all the evils of

the old man had gone, GOO called to Abra-
