Good Prices for Potatoes.

John Horn wishes to caution the
farmers against contracting to sell
their potatoes to persons travelling
around the country wishing to buy
them for future delivery. He advises
them to bring them to market and get
the highest price. He pays sixty cents
per bushel for early potatoes now, and
feels confident that late ones will be
worth great deal more when they are
ripe. Z JOHN HORN.

The Importance of abOlishing the Ii
quor agency is beginning to agitate the
minds of the people of this town. Some
think it is an evil, as we have to shout
der the sins of the Barnet people, and
take the blame of selling to them. 1t
has been pretty strongly limited that
there are other places in town where it
is sold as well as at the agency. Hope
the town will show back bone enough
at town meeting to hunt up those places
and abolish them as well as the agency.
Make aelean sweep and put in officers
to see to it, that have a back bone, and
will purify the town of the crime.

lowest bass would be represented by a
note written on the 9th added line be-
low the bass staff, and is an octave
lower than the lowest C on a seven Oc-
tave pianOforte. This is going pretty
near to the foundation of things.
The highest tone that can be produc-
ed upon it would be represented by a
note in the 18th space above the treble
staff, or an octave higher than the
highest on a seven octave pianofOrte /;
being a compass of nine octaves. The
smallest pipe is about the size of a quill

1t is not, however, in these extremes
of dimension or details of construction
that the excellence of this instrument
consists, interesting though they may
be, but in the fine quality of the mate
rails and workmanship displayed IN it,
and in the beauty and individuality of
the different stops. Those who are
qualified to judge declare it to be the
finest specimen of the Organ-builders

THE ORGAN.

A description of this instrument, so
complete in every respect, may not he
without interest: 1t was built for the
church by Hutchings, Plaisted & Co. of
Boston. The case is of cherry, of beau
tiful design, with ornamental speaking
front pipes. The key boards are brought
out to the front of the gallery, so that
the organist can face his choir. instead
of sitting with his back to theirs, as is
the usual arrangement.
That greatest trial of the orgauist's
life, the blower, is here superseded by
n willing aud tireless servant, this ser
from the st. Johnsbury aqueduct COM
pany, which supplies the town, which,
operating an engine furnished by the
Boston Hydraulic Meter Co., blows the
bellows in a more efficient manner than
the most intelligent of the genus homo.
When the softest stop is playing its
motion is slow, but quickens with the
slightest increase of tone, until the full
organ is brought on.
The organ has two manuals of 81
keys, or five octaves, each from c, sec
ond line below the base staff; and a
pedal of % keys from c, an octave
lower than the manuals. The great or
gan contains IL registers, 793 pipes
The swell organ contains II registers
SOB pipes; the pedal organ, 1 registers
SO pipes. There are also 9 combination
pedals, SO arranged that the player car
increase through all the gradations
from the softest to loudest and bach
again without taking the hands from
the keys.
Besides the ordinary qualities of ton,
to be found in all organs, and which ar,
produced by pipes known as diapasous
there are in this flutes, violins, a violOn
cello, trumpets, an oboe and bassOon
and that wonderful vox humana, OF hu
man voice, which is so perfect an imita
ton as sometimes to deceive the listen

The Organ Concert.


A beautiful and perfect organ, an
organist of wonderful skill, a talented
and pleasing vocalist, new and ele-
CANT church, all cOnspired to make
the concert given at the new North
church on Tuesday evening one of
great interest and beauty. We have
not the ability to describe it. 1t was
the desire of the builders of the organ
that Mr.. VIM. II. Clarke of Toronto ex-
hibit it. The performance of Tuesday
evening demonstrated that the builders
knew who could do it. We cannot go
through the program. Suffice it to say
that this king of instruments was eN-
hibited in all its various combinations,
to the delight of all and the wonder OF
many. The GROWING piece was the
performance of 1.-THE Mountain Storm,
rs given upon the celebrated organ al
Fryb for the past 20 years, to the
delight of tourists from all parts of the
world. This scene describes peasant
travelling through the mountains

One evening last week the mixed
train on the Lake Road, due at Lunen-
burg about Gas p. M, did not arrive
until after 10 the cause was a broken
car truck. A young man whose name
we forbear to mention, was aboard the
train in company with a young lady.
Being somewhat faint from lack of sup
per, he started in search of food.
He had been gone but few minutes
when the train started, leaving him be-
hind. When the train got to East st
JOhnsbury, they tried to switch off the
broken car, but again got it off the
track. This gave our pedestrian time
to catch up with the train, which he die
after running about two miles.
