m mm A B&ATE WOMAN. MM )s«iil«nt ot the Ashtabula Horror-- f A farawrti Wife Who Won Id Not Be- i ami iamit «n*ba*d. A Detroit correspondent of the New York Herald relates the adventures of Jahnsoa B. Orbnrn and -wife, who were on the ill-fated train that went down with the bridge at Ashtabula. They were on the to SSagiuaw vaiiey. Both are past 40, and Mr, Orburn is an Ohio farmer, who lately purchased a farm in Sagtasw 'connty. As the train pulled oat from Ashtabula the farmer's wife began eating luncheon, and her husband •was trying to read a newspaper by the light of the lamp. He says he felt the first movement when the bridge gave way. fie first imagined that one of the wheels under Mis cz,j Amu become detached, as a cor­ ner of the ear seemed to Battle down a little. He dropped the p iper and seized the baok of the seat in front of him. Then the whole car seemed to lift up, add several women shrieked in alarm. There was no sensation of falling. On the contrary, both agree they thought the ear was running up a steep halL This woald prove that the rear end of their car settled down first. From the time the bridge gave way till the cars struck the ice not more than ten seconds ooflM have elapsed, and yet during that bzfef interval tlie husband threw one arm arotand his wife, she grasped the seat and asked what had happened, aud he told her to secure a brace foY her feet, and added: "We are off the track and running through the fields!" The rear end of tt&eir car struck tirst, smashing itself to kindling wood, the debris being thrown over the passengers in front. The farmer found himself on the floor, hela down by a mass of wreck ou his left legg, while his wife was thrown across him, with the wreck of two or three seats holding her against the side of the oar. While thus hold, and before either had spoken, one end of the car settled a little, and the wife was released. ** Mary^*re* you living?" ftsked the husbafid, being his first words after the fall. Bite replied that she was not even hurt, beyond a bruise or two, and by this time the shouting and contusion around thfcm proved that the train was off the track, though neither one sus­ pected that it was more than a tumble into a wayside ditch. It was wonderful how'a woman could retain her presence of mind under such7 exciting circum­ stances, but Mrs. Orburn didn't even cry out after the shock. Scores of other passengers were shrieking in pain and fright as the oold waters floodod one end of the car and the flames began to eat away at the other. The woman cleared herself of the broken seats just as the fire started, and she then ascertained that her lmsoand was pinned fast to the floor by the wreck of matter on his leg, which was partially bent around one of the iron standards of a seat. She worked with ail her might to set him free, but the raging flames were now only a few feet away, and the smoke and neat were be­ coming terrible. " Mary, take hold of my foot; bend my leg toward you with all your might, and see if yon can't break it!" called the husband, who thought he could easily free himself if the leg was re­ leased from its cramped position. The wife seised his foot, meaning to obey, but at that moment the car lurched over a little and her husband released him­ self. When they left the car her dress was on fire, showing that another min­ ute w^uld hfcve enveloped both in the flames. Both were able to walk to the hotel as soon as released, having escaped with only a few bruises. The heroic wife and mother was not taly ready to obey her husband's orders, but she had a plan of her own. "When I saw the flames just upon ns," she said, " and while I was sure that my husband would be burned alive, I made up my mind to put one of the cushions over him, lie down on top of that, and hope that while I was being burned up help would come to him for our children's sake." " I was afraid she wouldn't be strong enough $$ break my leg," added the husband, u and then it would be all up with me. 1 was going to have her get out, and then, rather than be burned alive, going to - Well, I had the big knife in my right-hand poeket, and my r'sM' urm -sras free to get it and use it!"

The importation of fresh meat from America, writes the Liverpool corre­ spondent of the'Leudon Daily Aews, is rapidly becoming an important branch of trade, and it is expected that in a short time, when the arrangements of the various steamship lines between New York and Liverpool ai-e completed, the shipnM&til to tlie English markets will be liS to cause a very sensible ajhd fcfeioo^e fall in the prioes. Experience <*lw#S" that the quality of American beef is in no way inferior to that of beef of home growth, and, as re­ gards prioe, it cx.11 be sold at a profit to the importers it rates varying from 2d. to 3d. per pound (retail) below those oharged for ordinary butchers' meat. With such advantages on its side as ex­ cellence of quality and cheapness of price, the American beef is fast making its way; at present the weekly supply which reaches Liverpool la about 600 tons. The greater portion of this is at once dispatched to London, where it is taken by t.h« West-ond clubs and other leading Institutions, The remainder is sent to Birmingham--where the result has been a decrease of 2d. per pound in English beef--Leicester, Nottingham, Sheffield, and otber towns. Whys and Mens. Why do people write that they " ac­ cept with pleasure " an unpleasant in­ vitation, when they really mean that they do so with reluctance! Why do ladies bid their servants say that they are not at home, when they mean they are engaged or unwilling to see visitors ? Why do actors grumble that the drama is going to the dogs, when they mean that they themselves are not in favor with the public ? Why do men tell their wives that they will be detained by business, when they really mean to be detained by a club dinner ? Why do women bid their husbands escort them to Broadway, when they really mean to make .them pay for a new bonnet? Why do singers speak with diffidence of the powers of their voice, when they mean to swallow greedily all the com­ pliments you give them i Why do inviters often call their coun­ try house a "little place," when they mean to show von a palatial residence ? Why does yOur friend tell you " any toggery will do," when he means to sport a dress suit and white choker? Why do china dealers name so pre- poBfceroTis a price, when they mean to jump at less than half if they be offered it? Why do pianists complain that they are sadly out of practice when they are asked to"play, while in reality they mean they want more pressing, and then will- ingly yiold to it ? Proposed Admission ot Utah. Delegate Gannon, writes a Washing­ ton correspondent, is " confident of procuring favorable action before the end of the session on his bill admitting Utah to the Union as a State. It is now in the hands of the House Territorial Committee, where it has been since it was offered early last session. He thought it would nave been considered by the House last session had it not been for the absorbing political matters be­ fore Congress during that period, and seems assured that with the subsidence of the Presidential trouble, which he thinks will take place before a great while, it will receive attention. Cannon says it is a well-understood fact that Utan contains a sufficient number of people to warrant Congress in admit­ ting it into the Union. Inquiry devel­ ops the probability that the proposition to admit Utah will be strongly opposed in both houses. It is a scheme that S'ves promise of bringing the entire ormon question into prominence, and it is the opinion of many members that this question will have to be settled one way or other by Congress before Utah can beoome a State." Duels in Massachusetts. The Boston Transcript says: "A duel on the Puritan soil of Massachusetts would not be an entirely unheard- of thing. In fact, the first affair of honor in American annals is one that took plaoe in 1621 at Pi/mouth, between two serving-men, who were therefor sen­ tenced by the stern and prompt moral­ ists of our ancient heirarchy to be tied neck and heels together for 24 hours. The next famous duel, too, chronicled in America, was that on Boston Common (under the late lamented big elm), in 1728, when young Woodbridge killed young Phillips with his sword, to the great and painful scandal and excite­ ment of the community. Dueling was not always under the quasi stigma now attaching to it. Gen. Washington ap­ proved of Gen. Greene's decision to ac­ cept a challenge^ if the latter thought his lioaor wouldseuffey from a (refusal." The Black Hills. Extract frem a letter from Green River, Wyoming: "Eleven miners came into Camp Brown, on the 6th, for supplies, from the head of Wood river, and all bring coarse gold with them. They report about thirty men now in the diggings working with rockers, mak­ ing $10 per day and upward. One man by the name of Watson found a nugget worth $30. The party report no snow on the route and very little in the camp. They return immediately with about forty men, who join them from Lander City, in the Wind river valley, who feel jubilant over the new discovery, as they have been waiting for the purpose of going into that oountry early in the spring, but now leave with the Wood river party. Distance abont eighty miles from Camp Brown." Irou Cars. A correspondent of the Chicago Tribune thinks that the moral of the Ashtabula accident is--iron cars. "Let the cars," he says, " be built entirely of iron, like many of the baggage and ex­ press cars now in use on the New Yora Central railroad. Let them be heated by steam from the engine, or by a fur­ nace underneath the car, so arranged that by no means can fire get into the body of the car. Use less glass surface for windows. Many persons lost their lives by being pierced by the sharp- pointed fragments of glass left in the frames in which they are set. Have the doors open outward, that they may not be blocked and fastened by anything that might face against them. We have iron steamships and iron buildings, why not iron railroad cars?"

Few people in the civilized world to-day, among those who are interested in music and the forms of musical expression, have not heard of the Estey Organ, and smaller still is the number of those who do not, after practical acquaintance with the superior merit* of that noble instroment, cheerfully ooncede the proud claim of its makers, that TIE ESTET OiCAH LEADS TIE WWII. The foremost musicians of JSurope and America hasten to join their testimony to that of professional and amateur organists and instrumentalists, of all degrees of proficiency and celebrity, and all with remarkable unani­ mity affirm that no reed organs, of whatever manufacture, native or foreign, can possibly compare with those from the house of Messrs. Estey & Co. in power, tone, workmanship and style. Such a position and reputation can only be gained legitimately. Mushroom manufac­ turers that grow up in a night and flaunt their wares in the face of the public, gaudy and impudently, may seem to flourish for a time; but their prosperity is a lie, as their pretensions are a cheat. The sure success that crowns honesty, industry, probitV and thoroughness is slow of growth ; but when it comes it is stead­ fast and honorable to the end. The Estey Organs have achieved this success gradually, through years of sturdy toil, patient experi­ ment, tireless watchfulness and unvarying promptitude in additions and improvements. Thirty years ago the primitive prototype of the present magnificent instrument was made. Place the two side by side and read the history of a generation of industry and invention. Thirty years ago only the wealthy could afford to possess musical instruments of any sort, and thousands of churches were destitute of the charm of instrumental music in their wor­ ship. To-day the humblest home may have it* fireside organ, to lend sweet attraction to the home circle, aud the feeblest church or Sabbath school a beautiful instrument, to give voice and earnestness to its pious praise. This happy change is due to the Estey Organ more than to any other one cause. The constant and undevi- atiiig aim of its makers has been to produce a perfect reed instrument that should be within the reach of the popular purse in price. Every mechanical appliance that human ingenuity could devise and human patieuee perfect lias been brought to bear upon this end. Trust­ worthy experience from all quarters has lavish­ ed its ripest fruit unstintedly to promote this object. The materials used have been rigidly subjected to every possible test that could iii anv way conduce to their adapt ability and dura­ bility. What is the result at the end of thirty years? The lowest priced pipe organs that are worth buying cost $1,500. Messrs. Estey A Co. furnish for from $'200 to $300 a reed organ so admirably balanced in tone and power that two- thirds of the congregation in un ordinary small church would suppose it a pipe organ if it was concealed from view. A really good piano from a reliable maker cannot be bought for less than ft400 to £500. An Estey Organ, suited to the capacity and requirements of any family, may be purchased for .*150 or £200, and a thoroughly good one for $70. This is practical philanthro­ py, of a quality as refreshing as it is rare. Thio­ ls something worth working and waiting for : and it is peculiarly gratifying to know that all concerned --maker, seller, buyer and performer --reap an equitable share of the beuetits of a result so trulr beneficent. That which conserves the public welfare promotes private interest. Good wine needs no bush. Honesty pays beat. Messrs. Estey <t Co. have proved the truth of these aphorisms, and in an age of shams have demonsti died that solid merit is the true touchstone of success. Nine thousand organs were turned out there last year and sent to every quarter of the globe, in more than one instance supplanting entirely the instruments of European makers in the old world. These organs represented a busine# of over one million dollars f 1877 Mnsic Books for 1877 H S1LMM I CAPITAL BOOK FOR CHOIRS, ' ilNCLW CLASSES, AND Musical Conventions.

Scientific men, inventors and manufacturers from all parts of the world have visited the Estey establishment and unanimously pronounce it unsurpassed in perfection of detail and com­ prehensive system. Recommendations, such as flood the oountry for every conceivable invention of money making and money spending man, are cheap enough. Many that sound and read well may he bought for a song. At the present time, therefore, it is in order to- quote a few testimo­ nials hich the Estey Organs have c'allcd forth, that are a tost of value and approval which cannot be gainsaid the voice of the masters in music liearing witness to that fine truism, as old &s human endeavor and human fruition, that only true merit achieves true suoccss : [From RICHARD WAGNER, the Composer, par Excellence. ] tone of the Estey Organ is very beautiful aud noble, and gives me the greatest pleas- tire.

Under such circumstances, it cease® to be a wonder that the sale of the ^r8an is increasing with suck rapiditv, both at home and abroad: r.nd that enlarged facilities for its production a}- Ji-ewiy necessary, although the Estey establish­ ment has been for years the largest reed organ manufactory in the world. Nine thousand organs were turned out last year. These organs lepresented a business ol over one million dolr lars! Such figures are more eloquent m testi­ mony of worth than the most flowery and skill­ fully worded sentences. [From MME. E8SIPOFF, the Wonderful Pianist ] '• I have often had the op]K>rtunity to hear and play on the Estey Organs in St. Petersburg and Warsaw and was perfectly charmed with their full, sympathetic tone. On no other organs can be produced, with such purity and precision, the ehoir-like sound in the lower registers so similar to a fine church organ. " [From HERR RUBENSTEIN, Director of the Imperial Conservatory and the Musical Society at Moscow.] '•It gives me great pleasure to give due praise to Messieurs J. Estey Jt Co. for their really splendid Organs. The toue of these instruments is full, noble and charming and has the advantage of pleasing and captivating the tar. To these artistic qualities must be added that they are of solid workmanship and of the most elegaut finish, and I doubt not their having an extraordinary success in Russia." [From CAMILLE DE SAINT SAENS, Composer, Pianist and Organist of the * Madeleine Church, Paris.] " I have played upon the Organs of MOSSK. Estoy A Co., aud been charmed with their quality of tone, which comes very near that of a Pipe Organ, aud the resources it gives to the player." [From PAULINE LUCCA, the Celebrated Prima Donna.] "I have heard the beautiful Cottage Organs ol Messrs. Estey A Co., of Brattleboro'. aud was astonished at the full, uoblc and sweet tone of these instruments, which resembles so much the Pipe Organ--a quality which I have never found in any other American organ or harmonium." AIX-LA-CHAPELLE, Feb. 9th, 1876. ^ [From OLE BULL, tlie Oreat Violin Virtuoso.] '•After having played and examined the Cottage Organs of J. Estey Co., I can fully oon- iinu that they are the best substitute for the Pipe Organs in smaller churches and in schools, and that the smaller ones are very appropriate for family use and should be highly recom­ mended. J. .11. NEBELONG, Organist," COPLXHAOKN, Nov., 1875. , " After having used aud heard the above Organs, in our late concerts, we fully concur in th< above statement, and say in addition that the tone is very beautiful, round and effective.

' OLE BULL-" [From FRANZ ABT, the World Renowned Composer and Author of >( When the Swallows Homeward Fly," etc.] •• Tlie Estey Organs deserve the liigliest admiration, as well l'or their beautiful, sympathetic tone as for their easy, delicate touch and solid* elegant construction.

HOWARD DOANE, Jr., the Eminent Composer and Director, Cincinnati, O.] " l'or purity and beauty of tone, for variety of combination, and durability of construction, I prefer the Estey Organ to any I have seen." THE MAKERM. He hrm of J. Estey A Co. is made up of Mr. Jacob Estey, his son, Julius J. Estey, and his son-in-law, Levi K. Fuller. Mr. Estey senior, is the veteran reed organ maker of America, if not of the world. He begun the business in Brattleboro', thirty years ago, in a single room, with six workmen," and has make his way constantly forward, in spite of more dis­ asters and drawbacks than often attend such enterprises. This fact is due to the man him­ self. He has made himself, through force of honesty, energy, shrewdness and perseverance Plodding on aud on, smiling at disasters by fire .and fiood, planting his feet resolutely on aS obstacles, with indomitable faith in himself and his work, he has reached a very proud plaoe among his fellows, while still in the prime of a hale and vigorous manhood. His executive ability is grtwiL He knows every detail of tie vast business and watches its daily progreas with a marvelous approach to omnipresences. But, however absorbed he may be in this direc­ tion, he has never neglected his liighest dutitjg and privileges as a citizen. Always foremost in everything conducive to the public welfare, actively interested in affairs of church. State and society, his influence has been wide arid good and the cordial esteem he has earned so honorably waits impatientlv for a fitting oppor­ tunity to do him honor in kind. The younger members of the firm, who have been active partners for a decade of years, been trained in the business under the tuition of their senior for some time previous, and tlie partnership only served to concentrate their energies. They are young men of sterlii^j natural ability, and seem to have been p:>rtic;v- larly well fitted for the positions assigned them. Mr. Julius Estey is at the head of tfie counting- room and supervises the mathematical intrica­ cies of the immense business with a clear-head­ ed faculty that might well be considered a synonym for uniform correctness. The count­ ing-room of a manufactory is where its heait beats. Health there means strong and regular pulsation through all the veins «IT4 arteries of workshop and storehouse. Mr. FuUdr is at the head of the mechauics of the concern!,' His native talent, stimulated by a thoroudb mechanical training, has been invaluable and in*- dispensable in the long and uninterrupted se­ ries of experiments ana inventions which, un­ der his readv and intelligent guidance, have been combined in the complete whole known aa the Estey Organ. Both these gentleman are, equally with their elder, in the van of every movement that tends to promote the puhlfc wealth and prosperity ; as reliable, progressive^ faithful and enthusiastic in all such matters as in their personal affairs. Character stamps these men as it does their manufactures. Posi­ tive merit is the underlying principle of their success. THE MANUFACTORY. The Estey Organ manufactory is well worth a visit.to any interested in mechanical and art progress. The works are • situated on an eleva­ ted plateau, overlooking a considerable portion of the village of Brattleboro'. They consist of eight main slate covered factories, which axe forty feet apart, throe stories high, one hundred feet long, aud from tliirtv to thirty-eight foet wide. Near by is a gas house, which supplier not only the factories, but some portions of the village, with illuminating gas of excellent qual­ ity. A steam fire engine, named " J. Estey," is kept constantly ready for use and may "hev manned at a moment's notice by a drilled com­ pany of the workmen. A perfect system * peaking tubes and electric bells establishes i stuntaneous communication between the off and all parts of the premises. Over five huifc^ dred workmen are employed, and every carefe taken to secure for them health, comfort and safety, as well as a perfect and economical working of the establishment. Many ol' the little rooms occupied by the tuners are made charmingly cozy with pictures and flowers, ar­ ranged to suit the taste of the occupants. The •heerful hum of machinery mingles with the •hirping of thousands of reeds, and sends forth, a not discordant song of industry which pene­ trates many of the pleasant homee of the work* men. cow- il?
