THK'ARION PIANO-FORTE has Greater Power than any other other Piano Forte manu factured. IT WILL STAND IN , TUNE LONGER and in its mechanical construction it is more per fect, and therefore, more auraiile man any instru ment constructed in toe usual modern style. The arangement of the Agrnflo, the manner of st rinsing. the peculiar form and arrangement of the Iron Frame, Supersedes all Others. The use of a hart, (which is a part of the Iron Frame) on a line with the heavy steel stringing, girca ' Ureal Strength Where most needed, and in this respect all other Pianos fail. The construction of the WREST PLANK, into which the Tuning Pins are inserted, is such that it is impossible for the pins to become loosened, or the Wrest Plank itself to split, as is too often the case in other Piano-Fortes, THE EXTRAORDINARY EVEN NESS, Throughout the entire scale, the excellent Singing Quality, tho Length and Puriti on Vibration, All go to prove what we claim, viz. : that the Arion Piano-Forte Is the Lest Instrument Marufactured.

We have received two pages and a quarter of closely written foolscap, one entire page of which is solid figures, from James Jami son Shcasgrecn, of North Yamhill, purporting to be a "confirmation of those curious figures pub lished in tho Independence litbje," with a request to publish. We acknowledge our inability to get at the meaning of this immense amount of figur ing, or to tell just how tho production is to be "setup." At the close of the first page of this remarkable production, is the statement that the year 1S72 will usher in "Union and universal peace," a consummation devoutly .fhe wished, certainly, and one which we hope, for tho sake of Mr. Shcasrccn's veracity, if for no other reason, may prove true. In another plaee he says "1871 will prove to be tho end of the TOO years of tribu lation of th. Irish people," which will bo hailed by the Irish and their friends everywhere with pleasure and satisfaction I He concludes his "curious figures" thns : " P. S. I notify the people of the nations to publish and circulate this calculation with all the expedition that money anil printing uiaterinl cau afford," and that's just what we have douc published all wecould afford to for the money. t'OLOnD MAONaJlC0GNJZD.T-Xto New York correspondeat of the Sati '- Francisco Clirotncle writes : ' There is a distnibance in "iha tarmony of some few Lodges over in Jersey City, in consequence of the Grand '3lastet of New Jersey deciding to'rccogaize colored Masons when properly made beneath his -jurisdiction.

Rend The Following: t affords me much ldeaure to cive you, lu theso few linc, a very sincere testimonial for tho Piano Forte? of your manufacture. Wo have now used the "Patent Arion Pianos" in our Conservatories for a year, anil have had a fair opportunity of test ing their durability during that time. The Pianos ave Leeu played inmn almost constantly, trout morning till night, and a Piano must indeed be a good one wben it wiil bear such constant usewith out chowiug signs of defection. As for remaining n tune, it out rivals any Pinno known to me. 1 heir peculiar sweetness of tone in tne treuie , as compared to other Pianos with the ordinary mctal'agraffe arrangement ) is so striking that 1 have had pnpils remark, while takitigtheirlessons, that although thev had at home what they sup- sed to be one of the best makes of Pianos, slill lie treble was very wircy tcued compared with the -MtlO." What makes them still more desirable is their uniform volume of tone, which enables an Artist to perform a composition in ila true character. In total, I can conscientiously endorse an mar is hi imed bv the Arion Piano - Forte Company for their superb iustruments, as I consider them su perior to any other make. Congratulating you upon tho great success you ave obtained in the manufacture of so perfect an instrument, I rcmaiu yours. ery truly, HENRY SCUR0EDER, Director. New York, September 3, 1870.

Concert. The M. E. Sunday School gave a concert at the Methodist church ou last (Friday) night, but as we go to press on Friday, we are not able to give a report of it.

The demand for white and uncolored cheese seems to be steadily increasing. Some of th.e Herkimer -'fancy factories" bare been making this ' kind all the Benson, and the sales haTe been at tbe highest rates. If it were not for the requirements of certain English merchants, there would be no difficulty in banishing all colored . materials from the cheese vats. Especially would this . bo the case if it were generally understood that the annetto used for coloring is pois onously adulterated. . ? . Good News.

The Chicago woman suffragists, at their convention recently, resolved "that man's headship in the State, the church and the home, is an exploded idea of the dead past, opposed to a Republican Govern ment and Protestant religion," and that women have a right to vote without fur ther , amendment of the Constitution.
