Frederick Lawrence, Great Baa1rington Mass, 70, MT Lorenzo Lawrence, Ca naan, 66, Mrs Harriet Adam, Canaan, aged about 6O. MT William Lawrence left Canaan 5 years ago and it is IS years since he has paid visit to his na- tive town. The day passed only too quickly, the time was too short for each to relate their journey of life, but we imagine their thoughts all turned to the dear old home of their childhood and the scenes and incidents of those happy days. We presume many were the stories related of those delightful days, but this is too dear and sacred Q page of their history for strangers to read and we close this little sketch of this happy meeting by wishing each and all of them a reunion in the home be- yond the skies.

 These instruments, having not only taken first premiums at our state and county fairs, but the highest premium over every other American manufac- ture at the Paris Exposition in 1878.
 We select a few testimonials from the large number we are daily receiving: I
 Having fully tested the Ithaca Organ. wo find it our ideal of a perfect instrument. The player has remarkable control of it's power. The movement is prompt, the tone rich and full. We have tried several kinds, but found none to equal this. It is a pleasure to use so complete an instrument.

 Having tested the Ithaca Organ consider 1t the best in the market, we'll balanced in tone and coupling; both ways the player has the whole power of the instrument. I am glad to testify to the merits of this organ.
