peclally admired was very deliberately car
we'd with floral devices upon stipplod
groundwork, while in handsome letters
upon the top appeared the motto, "She
sang Of love as flowers would sing IL love
could lend their leaves tongue" Moth
ing neater or more charming could be inn
agined; and we feel sure that we hazard
nothing in predicting that this instrument,
at least, will never come home from Phila-
delphia. The church organ, however, as a
matter OF course was a more imposing and
costly affair than either Of the others. This
instrument stands about eleven feet in
height, and Is supplied with two sets Of
keys OF five octaves each, and twenty stops,
two of which-tho "Tuba Mirabils" and
the "Ophicleide''-have never before been
applied TO one of these instruments. 1t is
also furnished with two sets Of pedal bass
reeds go notes,) one of sixteen and one OF
thirty-two foot tone, and grand organ at
tachment, operated by the foot. The case
is OF black walnut the front being in Goth
ic style aud the top oval. At the base are
two pillars, veneered with light French
burl, each surmounted by the figure Of an
owl. On either side Of the case, and, con-
nected with it, stands a high column com
posed of light French burl shaft, with
black walnut base and capital, in tho up
per portion of which is an alcove wherein
appears the statuette offs angel blowing a
golden trumpet. The trimmings are Of
silk and velvet, and in all its details it
evinces the most tasteful design and the
most thorough pains-taking workmanship.
The musical powers of this instrument
were displayed by the well known organ
lists Messrs. ]. IL White and f. A. Hall,
for the benefit of the visitors who thronged
in during the afternoon; and judging from
the looks and tones OF admiration INDUCED
in alike by ladies aud gentlemen, we con-
Guided that none were disposed to feel
ashamed Of BrattleborO's chief contribu-
ton to the Centennial.
