It was only out in th- mechanic's shopfwa littie, while having a new lock placed on it, a precaucio i rendered necessary thrmnzh miskiilel performers having a penchant for using it, which, though fun lo them w.is death to the harmonium. At the same time f take this opportunity of informing the Ophir community generally that the instrument-is still availab e for any religious, charitable, deserving public, or private use, an I any of them desirous of using it for any such piup >se will not readily be wit .hell the k-y. Bit as a safeguard against a repetition of the abuse now veine Red, it has been decided that those who may desire to use the instrument should Le prepared to state if called upon, that the person or persons intended to perform thereon are qualified -o extract a m-r'olyat least superior to ordinary pigsquialing. f am, War.
