A SAFETY check for music boxes has been patented
by Mr. C. Henry Jacot, of Hoboken, N. J. Combin-
ed with the cylinder shaft is a ratchet wheel and a
double pawl having a weighted arm, whereby the
shaft will be stopped and held should its speed be
unduly increased, thus preventing the pins and teeth
of the comb from danger of being broken or injured.
LAWRENCE BROS., of Easton, Pa., manufacturers
of six and seven octave "parlor upright" organs, re-
port trade increasing to such an extent that they are
compelled to increase their production, and will
begin at once to build an addition to their factory,
which will make it almost three times its present
size. Their organs have no stops or stop action, the
whole organ being controlled with the knee swells,
simply and effectually arranged. They use their
patent pedals (nickel plated), which give more per-
fect control of the bellows than any made. They are
the ONLY manufacturers of seven octavo organs,
which are meeting with great success.

R. H. RODDA, MANAGES.
PEEK & SON, New York, continue to have their
good trade. They are placing upon the market some
new styles which undoubtedly take well.
KRAKAUED
No better TONE, WORKMANSHIP,
Finer Cases, or more satisfactory In-
struments can be made than the
keep up with their orders. Their glass panel has
made a great hit and all their dealers are crazy for
instruments containing this invention.
THE Behning piano took the" first prize at the
Pennsylvania State Fair, held in Philadelphia a few
days ago. *T. Scherer, the Philadelphia agent, is do-
Ing a large business with the Behning.
THE Wilmington, Del., Republican states that F.
Wagner drives an $1,800 trotter. If this is true, he
ought to be able to "get there" ahead of the other
dealers in the place.
C. J. HEPPE, Philadelphia, Pa., states that trade
is very good. Mr. Heppe does business on the one
price system, and finds it'very satisfactory to the
public and profitable to himself.
WOODWARD & BROWN have a very wide-awake
Philadelphia agent in Mr. Ramsdell. He does not
stoop to any unfair means to sell his goods, yet he
sells lots of Woodward & Brown pianos to the peo-
ple in his territory, and he is making this instru-
ment a very popular one in Philadelphia.
GEO. L. -WALKER & SON, Philadelphia, Pa., inform
us that it is almost impossible to get their pianos
from the factories fast enough to fill their orders.
They say that trade has taken a wonderful spurt
within the past few weeks, and now it seems more
like old times.
