A QUIET OLD Lama—A correspondent
writing from the East Sandwich says '—
“There islivin in this place an old lady
by the name-of all, who for more than fifty
years has not been one hundred feet from
her door. The last time she went was
when the English were expected to land
near her in the war of 1812, when she went
to one of her neighbors, about half a mile off.
She has always enjoyed good health. She
has a nephew and also a cousin living with-
in fifty'yairds of her, who have repeatedly
offered tolay a board walk to their houses
for her, but she refuses even to go as far as
that—Nantucket Enquirer.

lady at East Windsor, Mass, the other day
was brushing the dust from the hearth of the
cooking stove, in which was a lull fire, when
suddenly 2. live and:particularly lively snake
suddenly issued from a hole in the stove
door, full in her face. A successions of
screams brought the feminine portion of the
household to the kitchen, and the mother
dispatched the snake, which was charging
about the room the and writhing with pain.
. It seems that a basket of chips had been
scraped up the previous evening, and a mo-
ment before the mother had emptied-a por-
tion of them into the stove, and with them
went the snake.

daily at 8 a. m. for New York, thus giving

Acknowledge thankfully,tbehigb apprecia-

ED SPECTACLES" as shown by the con-
tinually increasing patronage accorded them
at their permanent residence (the past six
years) in Hartford, enables them at all
times to offer to the public, the full advan-
tages which the perfect knowledge of memo-
is sion, combined with their extensive prac-
tice confers. They desire to offer here a few
observations, upon the evils resulting from
the wear of badly fitted and common spec-
tacles in purchasing of unskillful dealers, no
guidance as to the proper glass can be given,
but. customers are expected to select for
themselves; this is usually done when the
eye is tired and wearied from trying on sev-
eral pairs, and consequently most difficult
to fit ; as might be expected under such cir-
cumstances, serious mistakes are made, oc-
castoniug much suffering, and in some cases
permanent injury to the eyes.
MESSRS. LAZARUS do MORRIS,
examine the eye.willi a very poworf‘ul glass,
and decide at once what is necessary, and
themselves select but one pair of spectacles,
which will fit accurately and unei-ringly,
apart from the value of the peculiarlv con-
structed lens they use, this ability to fit the
eyeis of the greatest importance, assuring
iothe purchaser case and comfort, and a
brilliancy and distinctncss of vision, which
to the unitiated is perfectly astonishing.
their charges are moderate, and their motto,
“ HONOR AND INTEGRITY ”
in the conduct of their business, unfailingly
adhered to ; the limits of an advertise-
ment preclude theinsertion of the many tes-
testimonials they are daily receiving. /

The most perfect and beautiful Musical
Instrument in the world for the American
Home Circle.
THE AMERICAN ORGAN makes Home
Attractive, and refines and elevates the minds
pf all. Beautiful in its appearance and ef-
ects. '
Seventeen—fl-Flrst Premiums were awar-
dad to the Anemia organs Ill Tun mom
of 00’1‘00EB,IS65, ov‘er all competitors, at
Illerent state and county Fairs. ‘
First premium awarded to the American
Organs at the Great New York State Agri-
cultural Fair at Rochester, September, 1864,
over the Whole catalogue exhibited .by the
most Celebrated Makers.
THE AMERICAN ORGANS are the
ONLY REAL REED ORGANS now before
the public. Theonly Or an having a RE-
VERBERATING SOU D BOX or WIND
CHEST—which has the some important
part to perform as the Sounding Board has
in aPiano Forte (to give body and resonance
of tone) and without which the Organ be-
comes merely a Melodeon in an Organ Case.
The American Organs not only have. the
Wind-Chest, or Sound-Box but have the
large Organ Bellows, giving power and
great steadiness of tone. These With their
extreme fine voicing of the Reeds and per-
fectin of the tone, make them the MOST
PER ECT ORGAN KNOWN. Then, in
fineness of workmanship, finish of action,and
case, they excel all others. These great im-
provements and superiority of tone and
Workmanship of the AMERICAN ORGANS
place them in the front rank as the best, and
command a higher price than any other reed
instrument in the market. A careful exam-
ination of them, in comparison with others,
will quickly show their superiority.
Special attention is called to the style of
AMERICAN ORGAN. No. 17. containing
the Super-Octave Couple and Sub-Bass.—
FOR CHURCHES in want of a powerful
instrument, whose means are limited, its
price render itvcry desirable.
Every Org-an is Warrant-
ed to Prove Satisfactory.
_THE AMERICAN ORGANS all have
the Reverberatiug Sound-Box, or Wind-
Cbest, and are finished in the highest style
of art, in Rosewood, Jet, Walnut, and Oak
finish, richly Varnishcd and Polished, or in
Smooth Oil Finish, forming elegant pieces
of Furniture for the Parlor or Boudoir; and
the Oak and Walnut especially adapted for
Churches, Lectbre and Lodge Rooms.

A NEW INVENTION.
Wetting the ieei l: 1111: most prolific cause of da-
easc and death known to humanity. It is aim-st
sure to bring one. Cold; and colds, neglected. am
often when not neglectcddcnd to fevers or to coughs
and fatal coiisumpiions. it is in recognition of ills
truth that the inventive talent of' the country he
foryears been devising some method, or uttcmt.
ing to dcvlzc it, for keeping the 1ch dry, and pi
should not give inconvenience to the wearer. Rio-
bcr shoes, in one form or another, have nitheio
been our reliance ; but it. is well know ii, as amo‘g
their many evils, that while they keep the feet dy
from external moisture, they sweat them over mud
and by thus inducmg an undue tenderness incrcac
a susceptibility to colds rather than otherwise.-
They are also cumbersome to the feet and witbl
‘are very cchnsive, The demand is for something
that shall make the ordinary Boot and Shoe impe-
kus‘to water, without aflectlng their elegance c
durability, and, if possible, Without adding sensibi
to the cost of their manufacture. These, y, will 1;
conceded, are most important features, and We col
seicntiously affirm that they are absolutely attains
in the invention herewrtn presented to the public.
The invention consists in 111:8".ng between th
inner and outer sole, when the boot is making, a flu;
METALLIC PLATE, exceedingly ductile, cunibiniii
flexibility With toughness very ligni,und cvery wa
adapted to the end desired, While the additional e:
pcnse is merely nominal. It furnishes a periec
barrier against the admission of Wei. or dampness
though the feel. may be exposed ever so long upon
wet pavements or dump ground.
To the ladies and chiliren the METALLIC Soars wil.
be of inculcalable value, as from their habits of life
and delicacy of" dress, they are particularlv exposed
to the long train of ills that attend upon an inade-
quate protection to the feet.
_ These Soles have already been tried by the best
of all tests, ACTUAL use, and the testimonials to
their merits, freely proffered. indicate that they
must be speedily and universally adopted by the .
public. The Patent Metallic Soled Boots and Shoes
are being introduced into the leading Boot and
Shoe Stores throughout the United States, and will
supplant all forms of overshoes, except possibly for
deep mud or snow, as they become known. Be sure
to gel. them, and take no other. If your shoemaker
does not happen to have them, he can procure them
without difficulty. if he W111 not, then send your-
self to the inventor one dollar and thirty cents, and
obtain six pair, assorted, sizes, with right to use,
which will be promptly forwarded by mail or express
pro-paid, and which can be made up by any shoema-
ker in the country. Agencies will be established in
every city and yulage. and. supplied with Soles and
propriety stamps,“ schedule prices, and liberal com-
mission allowed on sales. Also General. Agencies
for States appornted on application, with proper tes-
