Low Priced' and (toed—The Emerson
Plano.
To meet tile wants of the great number o
persons who desire to possess a piano, but do
not feel able to gq to the expense of the (mill.
est make, and yet would have only a good
substantial miff, we have made a most careful
examlnation of all the lowest prices' pianos
made in the-United States. The result of tide
examination is that we have found those
made by W. P. Lan , eson, to be the best pianos
for the price, and the cheapest good pianos
that are made. TLoy are most substantially
built, on the bounds st acoustic principals: the
wood is the best quality properly seasoned;
thetone rich and powertul.and the touch easy
and elastic; each one is provided with the the
full iron frame, and overstrung bass. They
stand well lit tune and wear well in every par
tied, ar ; this we know from actual experience.
The difference Ut price between the Emerson
• Piano, and the more Costly makes, la caused
by the most rigid economy in the =mum,
Lore consistent with excellence, and
by a saving of labor on those parts,
wLich neither effect the tone or durability.
We do not pretend that the "Emerson' , is the
lowest priced piano mole; many can be bought
at a less price. Such pianos we do not keep,
having found, by our own and others experi
ence that being. -o poorly ufada they soon give
way, lose their tone, become harsh and die
.eorlant, andmive.no sathfuetion to the owner,
but are a constant source of expense and an
noyance. A piano of this kind Is a bad in
vestment. and really the dearest piano any'
ono can buy. We do not and will not keep
them for sale. Fouling the "Emerson" such a
desirable piano, we ut once scoured the exclu
she," agency for them for Pittsburgh and sur
rounding country, and having made special
contracts for a regular weekly sunray for a
long time to coins, wo can offer them at un
usually advantageous rates. All persons de.
siting the best cheap piano In the market,
should not fall to examine the "Emerson. be
fore purchasing any other kind. Liberal db.-

On the dith of August last the safe in the of

of $2,000 In National bank notes. The robbery
Was committed in the day time, and was ef
fected without the aid of drills, or Jimmies, or
skeleton keys or gunpowder. Mr. Joseph MC
/
Coy, the Express agent at tireensidorie, left the
olllce for two or three minutes, leaving the
safe unlocked. In the safe was a package con
taining the Iri,eoe.whieh had been consigned to
Messrs. MeElimy ik Co., of thls city, by Mr.
Shane, a member of the firm. When Mr. Mc-
Coy returned the package had disappeared
and in the most mysterious manner. it seemed
impossible to fix the responsibility for the
“alistraction. on any person, or to form any
satisfactory theory of the theft. The only
well ascertained fact in the matter seemed to
be that the i'=,ooo were gone. Every etroi t was
made to discover this perpetrator of the
robbery, and ono man, we believe, was ar

On the anti of October last the sum of 011,2.33

money was deposited in two installments, WO
being deposited in the morning and the re

were very musty as If they had bees hurled or
