o'clock. Singers, and others interested in

The object of this Association is to or
ganize the musical element throughout
the entire county, so as to use the same
books and publications for singing pur
poses, so that annual conventions may be
held, and from their familiarity with the
pieces all can participate.—EDS.
SPRING ELECTION.—The election this
spring will take place on the loth March,
three weeks from next Friday, it is of
much importance to taxpayers to see that
honest and capable men are selected on
both sides, n duty too often neglected.
The assessors and assistant assessors to he
elected this spring will make the next tri
ennial assessment.
DEMAND FOP. HOUSES. —A large num
ber of houses could readily he rented here,
but few seem disposed to build oil account
as they allege of the high prices of lum
ber and labor. A considerable audition
will soon he made to the number of hands
at ITeedom Iron and .Steel Works, most
of whom would rent here could houses
be procured. As it is, the company will
have to erect houses, and our citizens are
tluc, by their inertness, building up Free
dom at the expense of Lewistown.

it passed oil with little damage. Yester

IST O T I O E _
T!IE beautiful Piano Fortes of GROYESTEEN & Co. are
deemed by all good judges to be the Ultima Tliuie of
instruments of the kind.
We cannot suggest what is wanting to make a mu
sical instrument more porteot. although we are slow
t > admit that the limit of improvement can ever be
attained.
He fore they had brought their Pianos to their pre
sent excellence, they had submitted them to compe
tition with instruments of the best makers of this
country and Europe, and received the reward of mer
it. over nil others, at the celebrated World's Fair. It
is but justice to say tuattkcjndgmenr thus pronounced
lias not been overruled by the musical world.
Still, by the improvements lately applied by them
t i their Pianos, it is admitted that .<* more perfect in
strument has been made. They have accordingly
achieved the paradox of making excellence more
excellent. Surely, after this, they are entitled to the
motto "Excelsior." nov 14-1 y

Two VALUABLE
Machine Stitches:
am mm & x uim
E L ASTIC S T I TC II
AND THE
SHUTTLE Oil LOCK STITCII.
rpHE (trover & Raker Elastic-Stitch Sewing Machines
1 are superior to all others for the following reasons:
1. They sew direct from the spools, and*require no
rewinding of thread.
2. They are more easily understood and used, and
less liable to derangement than other machines. .
X. They are capable of executing perfectly, without
change of adjustment, a much greater variety of work
than other machines.
4. The sti'.ch madehy these machines is much more
firm, elastic, and durable, especially upon articles
winch require to be washed and ironed, than any
other stitch.
5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which the
under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump
and beautiful in use, and retains this plumpness and
beauty even upon articles frequently washed and
ironed until they are worn out.
6. The structure of the seam is such that though it
be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches it
will neither open, run, or ravel, but remains firm and
durable.
7. Unhke other machines, these fasten both endsot
the seam by their own operation.
8. With these, machines, white silk is used upon the
right or face side of tho scant, cotton may be used
upon the other side without lessening the strength or
durability of the seam. This can be doue on no other
machine, and is a great saving upon all articles stitch
ed or made up with silk.
y. These machines, in addition to their superior
merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of ad
justment, easily learned and practiced, execute the
most beautiful and permanent embroidery and orna
mental work.
