A Wonderful Violin.

David Johnson, of Alliance, O., has in
his possession probably the oldest vio-
lin in America. The instrument has
been a family relic for many years,
having been the property of Johnson's
father, Ellis N. johnson, the centen-
arian who died few years ago. The
violin is very handsome piece of
woodwork, the rim around it having
been cut from thick wood and richly
carved. On the stem is carved bust
Of one of the old-time masters. On the
back, in inlaid work, is a design repre-
senting one of the ancient towns of
Italy, while the keys are mounted
with pearls. The instrument has a
very rich, deep tone, but cannot be
tuned to any of the violins now manu-
featured. 1t is almost an exact coun-
terpart of the famous Mojetta violin,
and has been handled by some of the
finest musicians of the land. Around
the edge is Latin inscription signify
ing: whilst living I was in the woods
for God, but dying passed away into
a sweet death" The exact age of the
violin is not known, but exceeds two
centuries and possibly four
