AN ADVANCE IN MUsIC.-The first
organette has reached town and is now
on exhibition at the Book Store of w.
H. Bargelt & Son. They furnish the
instrument and give instructions, by
which the amateur musician, who can
not tell the difference between the tones
Of the finest violin and those of E. B.
tuba, can, after Is minutes instruction,
rival the most skilled and popular
musicians of the day, in the accuracy
and perfect execution Of the most DIFF
fcult pieces Of music. Sceptics are in~
vi.ed to examine it. The round and
patent note singers can beth play on
the instrument with equal success. A
child four years Of age has been known
to play difficult pieces with more ae-
curacy than boarding skill miss can
play on the piano, after SIX years in
struction and six hundred dollars ex-
pended for music and musical instruc-
ton. All are invited to see this Won
dprful instrument. Price, including
instruction, music and instrument, only
$40.
