" sound in every respect, weighed 8
pounds at her birth, and . common tea
cup covered her little head and shoulders.
She is now nine months old, wsighs 81

Our able amateur organist and vocalist
Chas. 8. King, has opened at No. "a
High street, an agency for the sale of the
Ithaca organs. Beauty Of design, sim
plicity Of construction, and purity oil

weekly production Of instruments in
1875, to IS in 1881.
