 The whole is enclosed in a neat case of | chestnut, trimmed with cherry. and the front pipes being beautifully decorated, it makes very attractive appearance. The volcing of the stops has been executed in a thoroughly conscientious and artistic man her, and the smallest details in its construc ton have been faithfully performed. The tones of the foundation stops are deep, mellow and church-like in their effect and yet by the common sense arrangement of the couplers and solo stops, together with the ingenious appliance for making quick combinations, il is a complete orchestra in itself. It is pronounced by all judges who have examined it. to be very superior in strument, redecting in every way the high est credit upon the builders. s.
 Ashley Falls Matters.-The new school house in Ashley Falls is being pushed for ward as rapidly as possible to completion. Now that the bell tower is nearly complet ed. the propriety of hanging bell in it is being discussed. and an exhibition is being talked of to raise money for the purpose This IS capital idea, and now while the iron is hot. those having the affair in charge must stir about in the matter to insure suc- cess. Let there be good bell procured. with substantial and durable hangings for it......The new bridge near Barnum's wagon shop, and the raising of the road leading on and off it, with it's substantial and most ex- cellently constructed walls, is one of the most needed improvements in town. The road on the hill west of the bridge was cut down, and the rocks and dirt carted into the low places, raising them away above high water mark, and now all that remains to be done to make the job complete, is to raise the other bridge to correspond in height with the road leading on it; and make it as good and substantial as the oth- CT. This section of the highway over those bridges has always been in very bad con- dition, and what is now done ought to have been done twenty five years ago. Aman from the upper part of the town passed the work the other day, and with seeming expression of astonishment at the 'sgreat outlay exclaimed excitedly: 'Why! this job will bankrupt the town!" As the town has appropriated MTee Hundred dollars for the work, it is little too bad to be obliged to submit to such an extravagant expendi- ture. We understand the whole three hun dred dollars is consumed in this extraordi- nary undertaking; all gone to thunder;so of course the town of Sheffield is bankrupt. It may be little strange, but there are plenty of towns lying around loose that would be glad to suffer the same kind of bankruptcy as the town of Sheffield is struggling with to-day. We know not who has had the superintendence of this work. but mistrust MT. Henry Chapin is the man. Whoever it was has done himself the credit of doing most excellent piece of work, with but little money to do it with. e. How about the park fence &c. c.?.....We hope the matter of ornamenting the whole vil- lage by the little work necessary to make the park place of beauty and joy forever, will not be suffered to go by default. MT. Griffith says he will grade fine walk, at least as much as on one side, which is a generous offer, and with MT. Le Roys' fence, which we understand is under head way, and MT. Bates will be when he gets there to see to it, presume the work will pow soon be fully completed.
