Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms.

The new terms offered by the Mason & Hamlin Organ Company for the sale of their celebrated instruments create dissatisfaction with many dealers, who declare that they wil| greatly injure the business of selling other organs, especially by peddlers. By these terms a person is allowed to hire an organ, paying only a reasonable rent for it—having the privilege, of course, of returning it at any time after six months, or of purchasing it at any time. If the purchase is completed within a year the whole cost of the organ is only 5 to 10 per cent, more than if all cash had been paid at the beginning. Dealers say this is much too small a difference for the accommodation in time, and privilege of returning, given. The Mason & Hamlin Company are determined to try the experiment thoroughly at least, being confident that their organs will prove so attractive and satisfactory in use that scarcely any will ever be returned to them. Circulars with full particulars can be obtained by addressing them in Boston, New York, or Chicago.—Exch. Now that the season for husking bees approaches, the far-seeing young man will buy up all the red ears which are offered at ten cents apiece. —The school census of Milwaukee, just completed, shows a total of 94,405 souls namely, 47,198 males and 47,207 females.
