finest and most complete manullcJory OF
reed organs in the world. /. is owned and
run Ly E~tey a Co, which firm enjoys a re
putatiun that Is cosmopolitan, and it IS well
deserved. The magnificent system to which
the art of making organs has been reduced
had its incipiency at Brattleboro in SO.
After three wears struggle, the men who
had the enterprise in hand abandoned 1t t5r
the more seductive prospects Of cold-hunt
ins 10 California. MIR. Jacob Estey, then
thrifty plumber of the place, came forward
with capital and expressed his willingness t.
become silent partner. In lo57 the firm
was Es;cv 4 Greene. I'm lS6l EStey took
it alone. In 1854 hc was burned oat, but
nothing daunted. the business was started
again by j. Estev ~ Go. Later still. Mr.
Levi X Fuller and Mr.. Julius j Estey JON
ed Mr. Jacob Estcy in the management of
the business.
After the burning ont in lcdi, the manu-
factory was located upon the '' lat-, bat
the disastrous effects of the ire~het~ in that
locality admonishcd them that another locl-
ton must be sought for the growth and en-
largcment Of their buSincsS. \ farm of
some sixty or seventy acres, fronting on
Birse Street. and overlooking the village,
was selected rs 4 suitable site for the cree
ton of the needed buildings, in 1869, and
the firm now has, beyond question. the most
convenient, complete and extensive reed or
gan manulactory in the world. There are
eight three-story factories, one hundred feet
long. and from thirty 10 thirty-eight feet in
width. In the rear Of these main building
are two large lighthouses. which are used for
seasoning the lumber Thereare also black
smiths shops, a building for the steam fire
engine, and a fire-proof engine house, and
they are now Building a large store house
and gas works, for supplying the manufac-
tory with gas. There are also within the
inclosure two dwelling houses, occupied by
theexpreSsmen, watchmen and tiremen con-
nectei with the establishment, and in the
rear Of the mandatory inclosure there has
sprung up quite a village of comfortable and
tidy-looking dwelling-houses, many of which
are occupied by their work men.
Over 500 persons are employed IN the e>-
tablishment. The present production IS 500
organs a month, but the demand Is always
ahead of the supply. There are million
dollars invested in the enterprise, which
bids fair to extend and perfect ITSELF still

MEETING OF Tng coKrES-SEssAGE o. rsEsi-
DEST CASTELAR,.
MADRID, Jan. 3.-The CorteS reeonvenei
in session yesterday and President CASTELAR,
read hi message lie SAYS order prevails
everywhere in the country, except in the
north, where 4 Carlist war exists, and at
Carthagena, which was captured by 4
criminal insurrection. That city and the
fortresses and iron-cla Is have not been
recapturcd because of the want of
troops and resources, but the final
overthrow Of the insurrection Is certain.
There are undoubtedly direct connections
betSeen the Carli>t and Carthagena in
surgentS President CASTELAR, says the
Carlist war has been terribly aggravated
by the disOrganization, lack Of discipline
and dissenti0ns in the republican ranks,
and he appeals to all in the face of trouble
in the country, to sink party differences
and unite in defence of the republic.
While war exists, nothing but a war policy
is possible. The expenses of war during the
recess of the COrtes, were fi00. 900. The
government has distributed military com
mands among generals of all parties in order
to give tue army national character. PreSi-
dent CASTELAR, recommends the passage OF
bills prov iding for free public instruction
and for the abolition Of involuntary seryi-
tude and slavery on both sides OF the Allan
tic lie says You must first establish
stable Government, then European powers
will soon recognize the Republic. No na-
ton has any insurmOuntable autipathy to
the Republic. All countries first desire to
see order maintained and protection given
to.the immense commercial interests. Senior
CASTELAR, promises to lay before the COrtes
all documents in regard to the Virginius
affair These, he said, will demonstrate
that war can be avoided while the prin-
ciple> Of international law are upheld.
CASTELAR, OVERTHROW.
The final and decisive vote by which Cas-
| telar was beaten in the COrtes stood l20 to
100, the majority against him being 2O
| instead of l20 as first repo- ted. ~
/ soon a. the result was announced Gen.
Payia sent an officer with letter
4 demanding the dissolution of the COrtes.
/ Senior Salmeron and others urged Cas-
telar to continue in power, but their
! prayer was refused, whereupon com
/ pany Of the municipal guards entered
the palace OF the cortes and expelled the
| deputies. Pavia with his staff held posi-
tion outside, with cannon po inted At the
| building.

shal Foster proceeded to Cabot. on the 9ath

was attempting to get away with about
IS 900 Of his creditors money. lie found
that Damon had left during the night, and
81 followed on his track, and succeeded IN
arresting him at Montpelier about noon Of
the neNt day Damon was brought here ana
had hearing before Judge Smalley on
the lst, which resulted in his being
bound over in the sum OF 5000 for
his appearance before the court for examina-
ton a such time a. it may direct. The bail
was fixed at this small amount because
Damon had delivered to the Marshal on
his arrest Sl,0jo, and expressed wiling
ness to deliver the balance to j. \. Earring
ton of Cabot, who had been appointed
PROV isiOnal assignee of his estate. Col. +.
V. Randall of Montpelier and Allen Perry
Of Cabot. were accepted as sureties for
Damon appearance This seems to be =
very aggravated case. Damon had been 4
produce buyer among the farmers in the
vicinity Of Cabot. who had been in the habit
of trusting him for their produce, while he
could take it to market, dispose Of it and
return them the proceeds Oft the sales. The
last trip he made, he received 5000 and
on his return, refused to pay up to the
farmers Such case shows the good work
ings of the present bankrupt law. Damon
could not have been effectually reached in
the State courts, but the bankrupt law steps
in, makes him divulge ut once. and account
fer every dolla he had received.
