The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1874-09-24

Says the Columbus Journal. The
Penitentiary prisoner whose father re-
Gently died in New York and left him
fifteen-thousand dollars, has been
found. His real name is George L. Fos-
ter, but he is in the Penitentiary under
the name of Henry T Marshall. He
came to the prison in the winter eigh-
teen seventy two, from Cincinnati,
under a three years sentence for for.
CORY. His time will be out in Febru-
ary, eighteen seventy five. He is a
very orderly man about the prison,
and is perhaps one OF the most intel
Iigent prisoners there. The books
state that when he came there he had
Twelve Thousand Dollars, in New
York city. He is the leader of the
chapel choir, and on last Sunday.
when the warden announced the fact
that some prisoner had been left a for
tune, he was noticed by one of the
warden's daughters to color up in the
face and to appear very uneasy and
restive during the rest of the service.
We know of young lady who asked
the question whether the lucky man
was young and unmarried.

"THE BEST Is ALWAYS THE
CHEAPEST"


While this is true in the purchase of articles
generally. it is particularly 50 in the purchase
of PIANO. People can exercise their judg
ment, and form a pretty correct estimate of
every other article that goes into a household,
but when it comes to BUYING PIANO. the great
mass of the people are entirely incapable of
Judging, and cannot tell whether an instrument
is worth 200 or 500 dollars. This accounts for
the large number of cheap and worthless In
struments annually sold as 'FIRsT CLASS PIANOS >
They look v-ry well; seem to have pretty good
tone; but not being aoeR aud honestly made, By
skilled acorkl0en, but made to sell" in / few
years they utterly fail in all that constitutes =
REALLY GOOD INSTRUMENT. and persons buying
such, find their money gone and worthless In
strument on their hands,
There are few manufacturers who have n
National reputation. who have had long expert
ence and ample facilities in manufacturing
and whose instruments have stood the test of
time and hard service, In buying one of these
you RUN No RISK Their Instruments cannot
be bought as cheap as many new concerns adj
vertise them; but persons buying them are sure
OF getting TIE WORTH OF THEIR MONEY, and a
Piano that will be good for Is or 20 years, with
proper usage.
There are three or four leading points of ex-
eeIlence that everyone is desirous of having in
Piano. when they buy. viz: Durability, Tone
Touch and Finish
The "HAZELToN BROTHERS, of New
York, are one OF the Oldest manufacturers an tie
United States. and their instruments, for GREAT
DUR ABILITY, UNIFORM EXCELLENCE. DELICACY,
SINGING QUALITY, AND POWER OF TONE, ELASTIC
TOUCH and BEAUTY OF FINISH, are unsurpassed
by any in the world. They combine in an emf
nent degree, all that goes to make areally FIRST
CLASS INSTRUMENT. L can confidently recon-
mend the ssHAzELFoN'' to all who think of buy
ing as Piano that viii give entire satisJactioR-
They are fully warranted for five years. A
number of our leading citizens have for some
time had in use in their families these excellent
instruments, and viii take pleasure in referring
to them any persons who may wish to see the
Pianos or get the opinions of those using them.
1 shall be happy to order from the manufac-
turers any of these Instruments for persons
