ALMOST EVERY MAIL from far and near bings to us some new evidence of the great favor and growing popularity of this beautiful instrument and abundant festimonials are constantly reaching us, proving conclusively that no other Reed Instrument contains so many excellencies as the PERFECT MELODEON with Base Damper and Harmonie Attachment

The Harmonic Attachment is the most valuable of modern improvements-by it the power of the Instrument is doubled without increasing its size or the No of Reeds Our newly invented HARMONIC ORGAN for Churches. Concert and Lecture Rooms has greater capacity and power than any other instrument made in the country, considering the price. It is far more simple and less liable to get out of order than other Reed Organs.

It contains only half as many reeds as other instruments of the same rower, and consequently not half the expense to keep in tune. It has a fine powerful PEDAŁ BASE with REEDS disconnected with the other part of the instrument.

Another entire new feature in the Melodeon enterprise is the FATENT HARP or Piano Attachment to the Melodeon.

This is rrecisely what its name iudicates, a combination of the Melodeon and Piano Forte, and meets precisely the warts and desires of a large class who have long been Anxious to see two instruments combined in Melodeon size In this unique instrument the Melodeon, or l'iane, may be played separately or combined. producing an effect unknown to any other instrument, and must be heard to be appreciated

We have arrangements w th some of the best Piano Makers to receive from them regularly l'ianos of the very best quality which will be sold at less than Boston prices Also. Pianos and Melodeons to rent.

All Instruments warranted and sent to any part of the country at our risk.

a place in the course of education as the electrical machine, the air-pump, or any portion of the philosophical, chemical, or mechanical apparatus. By a thorough trial, Wheeler & Wilson's machine has proved itself abundantly successful, and has shown that it is especially adapted to the instruction of beginners, as well as being unrivalled for the superiority and variety of its work."

Prof. W. F. Phelps, Principal of the N. J. State Normal School, says:

"Respecting the success attending the introduction of the Sew ing Machine of the Wheeler & Wilson Mfg. Co. into the Normal School, I would say that in many respects the plan has been highly successful. It has awakened a deep interest on the part of our young ladies in the application of scientific principles to the arts of life. It has opened up to them a new field for the exercise of their activity in a most pleasant and profitable way. It has tended to popularize labor by making it pleasant and attractive. Only a very small minority of those who have received instruction and practice in the use of the machine had ever before worked with one, and the exercise has been a great novetly as well as a great pleasure. One hour daily is devoted to the work. Each member of our graduating class is required to devote this amount of time to it, under the guidance of a teacher. Besides being a great source of improvement in an educational sense, I think it has popularized those labor and life-saving devices with a class of persons who would otherwise have been slow to comprehend and appreciate their value."

At an annual public examination of this School held in Trenton, a young lady explained the mechanical principles of the Sewing Machine, its mode of operation, and illustrated, by diagrams upon the blackboard, the various stitches made by Sewing Machines, and explained their merits and demerits. This exereise was received with great favor by a large and intelligent audience.
