ORCHESTRAL ORGANIZE. William H.
Iomllns, gave Tuesday and to-day, in Vii
lage Hall exhibitions of the power of the
new Orchestrals Organ made by Mason &
Hamlin. These exhibitions were really a
series of excellent concerts, for the instru-
ment is not only the best attainment in the
manufacture of reed organs, but Prof.
Iomllns IS II master of it. The organ
gives, as It's name implies, the effect of an
orchestra; the organist having at his COM
mand by means of its stops the tones OF
violin, flute and several other orchestral
instruments. The instrument approaches
In power nearest to a pipe organ of any
reed instrument yet made, and evidently
marks as great an advance from the cabi-
net organs of the present as they did from
the old style melodeons.
\ special meeting of the Ladies' Tenn
perance Association will be held in the
vestry of the Church of the Messiah, on
Friday evening of this week, at half past
