The HENRY I. MILLER PIANO FoRTgs -
The instruments fIom this establishment
are rapidly coming into PUBLIC notice
and favor. and already occupy a foremost
position among r>t-class pianos.
Mr.. Millcl is himself practical mechan-
ic, and thorough musician and the su.
periority which these pianos have over 9th
ers, is OWN. in large measure to the
careful supervision which each instrn.
ment receives from the manufacturer be-
tore it is allowed to leave his establish
ment. The award Of the contract to FUR
nish the public schools OF Boston with
pianos must be very gratifying 10 Mr..
Miller. and is "A testimony Of the musical
pubic to the high position which these
instruments occupy. The, severe test that
they have received at the New England
Conservatory OF Music. and at many 9th
er public Institutions where they are III
constant daily use, is a guarantee of their
many excellent qualities, and especially OF
their durability. They are used and rec.
commended by Host Of the leading must
ians of Boston.

THE BAPTIST SOCIAL UNION.

The First Annual Banquet at Calvary Church.
Some two or three years ago an organization of
members of the different Baptist churches Of this
city was formed and designated the Baptist Social
Union, the object being mutual benefit and unity
in the support Of the Church. This organization
came into existence with considerable Vigor but
unfortunately went into a decline, and after two
years Of strBggin its spark Of life became totally
extinct. The friends present at its demise were
cOmforted and set about forming q second society,
similar TO the former with but few exceptions
They succeeded admirably, elected Hon. William
Stickney president, adopted a constitution, and
the prospects are fair that the last Social Union is
destined to achieve life of longevity and useful
ness. Last Monday night was the anniversary
meeting, and the event was commemorated in an
appropriate manner by banquet in the p8rlors
attached to the Calvary Baptist church. The
ladies Of the denomination in this city and OF the
WOmen's Christian Association we're intrusted
with perfectinG the arrangements for the ban
quet, and subsequent developments gave evidence
OF the fact that the trust could not have fallen
into better hands
Early in the evening the members of the Union
and invited guests, among whom was noticed
Postmaster General Jewell, Hon. Mr.. Williams
Rev. DR.. Sunderland and Others assembled in
the body Of the edifice, where they were treated
to some excellent vocal and instrumental music
while awaiting the arrival OF the remainder of
the members. At s O'Clock the doors OF the spa
cious rooms were thrown open, and gave view to
q very pretty sight. Five tables, tastefully
decorated with flowers and loaded down with the
choicest articles the market affords, were placed
before those attending the banquet to tempt their
sppetites, which it did amazingly, and required
much food to statiate. Forty young ladies, fresh,
fair, and some very pretty, attired in Normandy
costume, volunteered as walters, and filled the
position elegantly and very acceptable, especially
in the minds Of the young gentlemen.
One hundred and fifty persons partoOk Of the
banquet, and at the conclusion President Stick
ney arose, thanked them for their attendance
and then briefly reviewed the society from its
birth TO the anniversary evening. He then in
trOdueed Postmaster General Jewell, who, in
speaking, gave a very interesting description of
the Russian court, manners and custOms-the
Bsptist-Of that country, and concluded with a
description OF his celebrating Washngton's birth
day in st. Petersburg. He was followed by Hon.
Mr.. Williams, Rev. DR.. Sunderland, President
GallAndet, Of the Deaf and Dumb College at Ken
dali Green, Rev. DIR. Parker, and T. Edwin
Brown. The company rose from the tables about
IL O'Clock, but, previous to separating, passed a
resolution OF thanks to the Social Union for the
very enjoyable evening they had spent, and their
generosity in declaring their intention OF donating
the profits accruing from the entertainment 70 the
Women's Christian Association.

Laren, .. H. Mytinger, Richard Norris, r. W.
Black, D. NJ. Browning, Mr.. T ]. Barton, man
sger Of the National theatre, and several repre-
sentatives Of the press. Prot. Starr opened with
short definition of what real spirit Is and then
commenced the fun. An the manifestations were
very successful and skilfully performed. We
have not space for full description, but must
seen equalled. One was the sealing of one of
Prof. STAIRS assistants, Mr.. John Edwards, up in
sack, and he getting on the outside Of the sack
most remarkable test we ever witnessed.
The committee were handed the sack and told
to examine 1t, which they did thoroughly, and
pronounced It sound and nothing but an ordinary
calico sack. As soon as they were through and
had marked the sack with private marks Mr..
sack was then pulled up over his head and tied
by one Of the committee and sealed by another.
We then were allowed to examine the sack again,
and Mr.. Edwards was carried by Prof. Starr,
sack and all, In the next room, we watching him
all the time. As soon as he had taken him TO q
chair he Immediately came out to where We were,
closed the door, and In q few seconds Mr.. Edwards
came out after him, outside Of the sack, and car
rying it in his bands. The sack was then handed
the third time fSF examination; but nothing could
the exception Of its being empty. That was
enough to convince us that II Prof. Starr and his
assistants could do such things as that they could
the Davenport Brothers feats, the blowing OF
horns with his mouth full Of water, and, In fact,
all the feats were performed with consummate
skill and could not possibly be done better.
The following is the certificate handed to Prof.
Starr at the close Of the exhibition, with the well
come signature of every minister present:
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 9, 1875.
Having attended an exhibition given by Prof.
CIV. Starr in private room at the Ebbitt house,
we satisfied Of his ability to perform the feats
usually exhibited spiritual manifestations, and
believe that those who are inclined to accept
these as supernatural tests may be entirely salts
fed Of their human origin, and the exhibition will
be Of interest to all citizens.
