THE Weaver Organ Co., of York, Pa., have issued a
novel and handsome catalogue of their new styles,
consisting of separate sheets of heavy, finely calen-
dered paper, each sheet having an engraving of one
of their organs. These sheets are enclosed in a neat
portfolio.
THE suit of Rachel Rauth against Charles and John
F. Jacob, constituting the firm of Jacob Brothers, was
decided in this city in favor of the plaintiff, on No-
vember 11, the jury giving her a verdict of $131.25,
whloh with costs made a total of $246.82. It was all
about a piano purchased on the installment plan. If
Jacob Brothers gave truthful testimony, it looks to
"a man up a tree" as though the verdict should have
been for the defendants.
AND now the courts are shutting off the Commer-
cial Agencies from giving out what they canlearn con-
cerning the reputations and standing of business men
By and by there will be no protection whatever, and
no source of information for the mercantile com-
munity. It looks like putting a premium on com-
mercial fraud and trickery. However, let it go on
and when trickery has reached its limits there may
be a reaction in favor of commercial reports. The
commercial agencies may sometimes make mistakes,
(we are all human), and sometimes may deliberately
do wrong, but in the main they are instruments for
good.

FOURTEENTH STREET in this city has about reached
its limit as an available location for piano ware-

will probably be from ten to a dozen firms on that
celebrated thoroughfare within the next six months.

MR. H. M. BRAINARD of H. M. Brainard & Co.,
Cleveland, has been in New York city and called at
the MUSICAL TRADE REVIEW office on the 20th ult.
He said that his brother Mr. Charles Brainard, also
of Cleveland, was now in a fair way to recover his
health, although at one time for about two weeks he
was in great danger.
SEVERAL New York piano manufacturers are great-
ly increasing their facilities.
THE Weather Bureau of the United States should
be indicted for disorderly conduct, or worse, for per-
mitting such weather as that of the 22d, 23d, 24th
and 25th of November. We can stand a good deal
of weather about New York city, but that which pre-
vailed on those dates was something unique even in
our experience. A llttlejmore of the same sort and
the telegraph and telephone companies may be ob-
liged by bitter necessity to put their wires under-
ground.

MANY of our leading violin makers seem to have
but one ambition—to make passable imitations in
form and color of old violins. Is it not about time
that that ambition was stiiled ? We believe that
such imitations are frequently used, though not
necessarily by the manufacturers to swindle unsus-
pecting persons. There is nothing in the piano
stencil business to compare with it.
IT IS a cold day when the piano workmen do not
take a hand in any movement that will stir up the
manufacturers. The eight-hour business has hit
their fancy, and has given them an opportunity to
make speeches and show how little they know when
away from their benches. Perhaps it all acts as a
safety valve for them, and they might just as well
work off all their superfluous energy on the eight-
hour law as in any other way. Meanwhile, as is
generally the case.during labor agitations, the beer
saloon-keepers are happier than usual.
IT IS reported that one of our numerous esteemed
contemporaries, when the word " Stencil" is spoken
before him, cries out, " I will say ' stencil' if I want
to; I will, I will, I will say it!" And then he sits
down on a curbstone on Fourteenth street and
shrieks, "Stencil!" " StencilV!" " S T E N C I L ! ! ! "
" STENCIL !!!! " until some public-spirited person
comes along, spanks him, shakes him well and
locks him up in his own office.

Gun, our prominent home

admiration of all by its
fine shooting qualities. It
registered in both the 10
and 12-bore claaies ; the
greatest number ot pellets

THE Sterling Organ Company has our heartiest
congratulations that the fire in their factory on the
morning of November 18 was attended with such
comparatively small damage. The workmen were
prompt in fighting the flames, and the stock of
pianos and organs under way escaped easily.

MESSRS. CONOVEB BROS, seem disposed to push
their libel case against the Friends. They say they
expect to have it in court before long.
CHABBIEN PELOUBET, father of Jarvis Peloubet,
manufacturer of the Standard organ, died at Bloom-
field, N. J., on Saturday, November 28. He was
born in Philadelphia in 1806, and was nearly eighty
years old at the time of his death. He originally
manufactured llutes at Watsessing, N. J.,and in 1852
began the manufacture of melodeons. He had not
been actively engaged in business in several years,
and to the later generation of the music trade was
hardly known. Mr. Peloubet was of French descent,
and his father nearly lost his life during the French
revolution.
MR. B. DREHER, of Cleveland, Ohio, has taken out
a patent on a music desk, which is said to be simple
and to work satisfactorily.
