Mr. Patterson presented a report trod, City
Collector Woodward as to - the 'right of tne

Solicitor states that ender the act of - Assent-
My of April glth, 1864, granting to that Com
pany the privliegeof teeing a single or double
track "to such points In the f
ny and Pittsburgh as they M cities
may el o ect," they
would seem to have in view of said liberal sat
and decisions of the Court to make that loca
tion; but that, having specified a different lo
cation In the bill of injunetion against the
city Lest spring, which DUI was sworn to by
the Company's solicitor, a doubt is relied as
to the right of this Company to locate their
track across Anderson street,by reason of the
principles that, baying made a location, they
could Dot change it without legislative au
thority. The question of such locaUon is one
of fact, and thereare attest facts bearing on
this question, about which the Solicitor Is
making inquiries, and until a more ti enough
examination is made, he cannot advise what
the ebanoes would be in attempting to ex
clude nom that street the great Inconven
ience and danger complained of. The report

Low 'Priced and nood—The Emerson
To meet tho wants of the great number of
persons who desire to poasess a piano, but do
not feel able to go to the expense of the costli
est make, and yet would have only a good
substantial one, we have made a most careful
examination of elf the lowest priced pianos
made In the United States. Thereault. Of Lida
examination is that we have found those
made by W. I'. Emerson, to be the best pianos
for the price, and time - cheeped good pianos
that are made. They are most substantially
built, on the soundest acoustic nnncipalsi the
wood is the best quality properly seasoned;
the elastic; and powerful. and the touch easy
and each one is provided with the the
full iron frame, and overstrung bass. They
stand well In tune and wear well in every par
ticular; this we know from actual experience.
The difference In price between the Emerson
Piano, and the more costly makes. Is caused
by the most rigid economy in the manatee.

lye do not pretend that the "Emerson . is the
lowest priced piano made: many can be bought
at a less price. Such.planos we do not keep,
having found by our own and others expert.
enco that being so poorly made they soon give
way, lose their tone, become harsh and d la
cordant, and give no satisfaction to the owner,
but are a constant source of expense and an.,
noyance. A piano of this kind is a bad
vestment. and really the dearest piano any
one can buy. Wo do not and will not keep
them for Bale. Finding the "Emerson. such a
desirable piano, we at once secured the exclu
sive agency for them for l'lttaborgli and sur.

contracts for a regular weekly sunray for a
