to the heavy ice, yesterday transferred her
Cincinnati passengers to wagons at that
point for conveyance to the gity. One of
the wagons, containing nine persons, most

man who had been drinking deeply, and
who was in no way iit to be entrusted with

A Dreadful Fate A Woman and Four
Clalldren Frosen to Deatb.
A letter in the St.; Paul Pioneer, from
Mankato, Minnesota, relates the treezins
to death or a woman ana ner tour" chil
dreu in Noble county, that State, during
the absence of the drunken- husband and
father, who left them destitute during the
recent dreadful cold weather, VThe letter
says he left her out on the open prairie, in
the dead of winter, r with 'scarce a stick of

while she was ' daily expecting confine

tearful storm of the 2nd, anrjL-cwhen that
was expended the poor woman found her
self without fuel. ' Sao? knew i thai she
could scarcely expect her husband home
for several days as jt tQok that time gen

and the conviction came to her that her
tamiiy would soon treeze to deatn unless
succor could be had from-the , neighbors,
the nearest or whom was three- miles dis
tant. . So on Monday, this desperate wo
man, at that time m so delicate a pondi
tlon that she might be confined to her bed
started out in the fierce cold tor-help. At
least suchis the supposition f or the next
day some of the neighbors found hef body,

stark stiff in a snow bank,where she had
fallen faint and peshedTHorrifiedv.they
picked her up and carried her homeland
here, horror upon horror, they found the
tliree little ones also frozen to death. The
drunken brute of a husband and father
was hunted up, and friends fin- this city
telegraphed for, who at once went up and
saw the bodies decently interred.

to indulge at my fathers work-bench
when a girl. I lathed five rooms entirely
and set the studding for three. . I rnade

The New York Jhdmetldenf of Sent, lfith . rtd
of the BURDETT ORGAN :
"it is by far the most perfect reed instru
ment we have ever seen." -. - s
The ClvriiUan Leader of Oct. 2d, says : ,
We had no idea that a reed instrument
couia oe Drougnt to suen perfection."
The press and public everywhere who have
had an opport
rcunit
ity of listening to its beauti-
iul strains, not only give it their unemalifled
xains,n
ai
jproval, but unhesitatingly concede that it
stands without a rival.
The great Increase in the sale of our instru
ments, has enabled us to reduce our prices for
FIRST-CLASS PIANOS,
from ten to twenty-live per cent, less than any
other house (offering the same class Of instru
ments) In the United States.
While we act upon the maxim of "fluid
sales and small profits," we make it, at the
same time, a special object, to furnish our
customers with intruments in no way inferior
to tne ;
Best in the Market.
EVERY INSTRUMENT FULLY GUAR

Many families have had a desire to obtain a
Piano, but could not afford to pay the dealers
a pront of from siou to jim, neither do Ihey
wish to purchase a cheap made instrument,
that would cost more to keep in repair than it
is worth, hence a large class of our music lov
ing people nave Deen oDiigea to ao witnout.
We can furnish' New Seven-Octava Piano
