Low Priced and Good—T4° Emerson
Oslo°.
To meet ilia wants of tho great number of
persons who desire to ynAtIOSS n plotne, but do
not feel able to go to the expense of the costils
est make, and yet would here only a good
substantial one. we have 'made a moat careful
examination rd all the lowest priced pianos
:nude In the United States. The resultof this
examination is that we have found those
made by W. U. Elverson, to he the beat pliono2
for the Ogee. and the cheapest gru4 pianos
that are made. They are most substantially
built, on the eoundest acoustic principals; the
wood 1.; the best quelitt• properly seasoned;
the tone rich and powerful. and the touch easy
and elastic; each one le provided with the the
full Iron frame, coil overstrung bass. .They
stand Well In tune and wear well In every par.
Gelder th la we know from actual experience.'
The dl derence Klee between the Emerson
i'lano, and themore costly makes, Is caused
by the most rigid economy In the manutacs
tore consistent with, excellence, and
by a storing of lat,or on those parts,
which neither effect the tone or durability.
We do not pretend that the "Emerson't la ttoc

In the Court of Common Pleas, on Saturday
morning, before lair Honor Judge Mellon, the
question of the eligllfflity of S. B. Cluley, Esq.,
to the office of Sheriff of Allegheny county,
MIS brought to the notice of the Court
through counsel, by Mr. CI nley's late competi
tor before the people, J.l". McLaughlin, Esq.
Messrs. James K. Kerr 11.611 R. Riddle Roberts,
bssis.,
counsel for Mr. McLaughlin, filed in
Court the affidavit of the claimant, setting
forth that Samuel B. Cluley, since the fifth day
of December last, has exercised. and sad ex
•erelses, the functions, rights and privileges.
and receives the lees. perquisites and emolu
ments of High Sheriff of the county of Alle
gheny, without lawful authority. The affida
vit then recites-the fact Of the election of S.
Cluley, In October last, and refers to the
commission issued by the Governor- on the
14th day of November, le, to Mr. Cluley as
High Sheriff, notwithstan ding the fact that the
said S. B. Cluley had been commissioned as
Sheriff of Allegheny county on the 2Sth of Au
gust, and had dlscharged the duties
or the oillce from that time until the first
Monday of December,, 1863, and could not
therefore lawfully be commissioned Sheri tref
said county twice In any` term of alx years, tie.
cause it would be in violation of the 6th aril- .
ele, let section. of theConstltution of Penn
sylvanla. The affidavit further sets forth that
these constitutional provisions have been die
regarded by the issue of the commission to S.
Cluley and that he therefore usurps, and
unlawfully holds and exercises the rights and
privileges and receives; the fees andperqui
sites of the office, to the damage and prejn
slice of the Constitution and laws of the corn.

I commonwealth, therefore prays for due pros

On the presentation of the affidavits the

next, to show cause why a writ QUO trorranto
should not tsetse against a him, and to show by
what authority he exeereises the °nice of
