Reed & Sons’ Organs.

If you wish to buy a first-class organ with the latest improvements, the sweetest quality of tone and the newest style of case, send to Reed’s Temple of Music, Chicago.

Even as in America this season has been exceptionably “ dreadful” in the South, just so has the usually “sunny clime” of Italy and Southern France been cold, damp and uncomfortable in Europe. It hats been “perfectly excruciating” everywhere, and there’s no use for anybody complaining anywhere.

The Mason & Hamlin Organ Co. have completed and now occupy their new factories in Cambridgeport, Mass., in which they have introduced machinery to an extent never before employed in the manufacture of organs. By the aid of this they not only produce the best organs, but with greatest economy. Twice as many organs can be produced, in proportion to the number of men employed, as would be possible with ordinary facilities, and this is the reason not only for such admirable instruments but also for such low prices.

—And here is the first demonstration I may say it was ever in my power to witness in cowology—a cow “ coasting” down hill: The barn stood upon a hill, at the foot of which the cattle had been accustomed to go for drink. But last Monday morning the hill was covered with ice, and the boy placed a tub of water near the barn-door and let out the cow, supposing she would slake her thirst from that tub. The cow, however, started off for her old place at the foot of the hill, and, finding herself slipping, she squatted upon her haunches, like a dog, and bracing her feet in front she slid a distance of twenty feet to the bottom ; and, as she brought up of a sudden, she recovered her hind feet and looked around as if to see “what had

happened.”-
