We call the attention oil our readers to

the celebrated Stiet Pianos. They have
justly become the favorites OF the musical
public. Performers hke them on account
of their eveness oftouch and singing quail
lily OF tone. Their finish is in the highest
degree artistic, and their general makeup
is not surpassed by that of any other man
ufactury in this country. La proof of this
it is scarcely necessary to revert to the fact
that through the shaking of the Steamer
Louisiana, some time ago. one of these in
struments was Submerged i'm the waters of
the Chesapeake Bay, for period OF more
than four months, and recovered in u re
markable state of preservation, thus fully
establishing the truth Of their assertion,
that Lene bat the best materials are used
in their construction. Evidence OF their
durability Is further furnished by their ex-
tensive use In the numerous sehools and
other institutions. where they are subject
ed the severest tests. Ne aevi,e all who

Discoveries Of Coal.

Discoveries Of Coal
1t is reported that coal has reaHy been
found in the North Mountain, III Berkeley
county, W. Va. The specimens taken cut
aye pronounced to be first class. In several
places in this county along the North
Mountain signs OF coal have been discor-

has been SAID to have been found. We
hope that we may soon hear OF y sufficient
quantity being found to justify extensive
mining. The Doc Coal field South of Il.

that along the same mountain there is q
strong probability Of other mines being
developed.

The Oldest Declaration Of Independence.

The Oldest Declaration OF Independence.
We have been shown the original
manuscript of the Declaration of indie
pendence made and signed by the revo-
lutlonary patriots of Hartford county, at
a meeting held at Hartford Town on the
22d March, l775. This declaration is
older than that of Mecklenburg, N. G.,
which was made in May, ITS, and an
tedates by more than year the Decla~
ration of Independence by the Cont
mental Congress, July 4. 1875. Hartford
Town is Bush Of the present day. and
the house in which the meeting was
held was an old tavern stand, and the
ruins OF which are yet to be seen at
Bush.
The suggestion is made that the de.
seendants Of these 81 guers hold a meets
ing in Belair on the 22d of March next,
for the purpose Of duly celebrating the
l01st anniversary of the Hartford Dec.

A Declaration of Independence was
made and signed III the town of Wood~
