Conscien tiously I can say, from a long experience, that the action answers all demands; it is highly sensitive, firm and elastic Whatever the touch employed it receives response. The tone is rich and fun ! which can be graduated to ail degrees of j light and shade. It is sympathetic and capable of remarkable sonority.

Wheat, cf the Gaffney Man ufacturing Company, returned jesterday from New York, having with him a trav eling companion that excited universal admiration. It was a fall-blooded St. Bernard dog, the handsomest thing ia the way of dog flesh seen sere for many years. The magnificent animal, known as "Bar re the Second," is registered in New York, and was presented to Mr. Wheat by Mr. Geo. Bayne, of Carey, Bayne & Smith. The dog is full grown. As he wonld rise in his beauty and strength and shake himself, "he locked almost like a yonng lion. His head is perfectly formed, and bssides being a re markably sagaciouB looking animal, his eyes beam with a kind, protecting ex pression, such as childish fancy can never disassociate from the St. Bernards of the Alps. Mr. Wheat's value of the d3g is al ready priceless. He is going to train him to stand guard over the mill daring his absence; to be literally the watch dog on the tower. There was nothing abont the station that excited such admiration as this beau tiful animal. Mr. Wheat promised to briag him over to let other friends see him as soon as he got to be a little better friends with him, and got him per fectly well groomed. Good for Senator Walsh.
