The immense musical emporium of Messrs. R. & H. is open at all times to musicians and the public generally as a place where they can call at all hours of the day and examine for themselves the various features of a well conducted and stocked musical establishment. The acknowledged leader- ship in the musical business has secured for them the ticket-selling of all ope- ras, concerts and other first class entertainments given in our city.

SOMETHING NEW AND BEAUTIFUL .- Messrs Redington & Howe have just re- ceived a newly patented Burdett organ, with what we should call a Fairy Bell accompaniment. By means of a stop the effect of a beautiful music bor or Mandoline is added. The organ is a perfect gem-worthy of a spec- ial visit to their store.

instruments. They are just as careful to reject the humbugs, and have act- ually declined the agency of several pianos and organs which less informed dealers here have since adopted and are trying to sell.
The immense business acquaintance of Redington & Howe, together with their high reputation in New York, Boston and Chicago, as the strongest and most energetic house in New York State (outside of the city), secures to them the first choice in regard to the agency of any manufacturers of musical instruments in the United States.
Their Mammoth trade enables them to buy cheaper than any other Cen- tral New York House, as they buy so much more largely. While their principal trade is in first-class articles, they are able to furnish second or third grade instruments, cheaper than the first cost of manufacture in this city. They buy of large eastern factories, which, on account of operating on a larger basis, can manufacture much cheaper than small concerns. And R. & H. buy very closely, because buying so much, On this account they can and do sell cheaper-qualities of the goods being considered, than any other house. For this reason parties in Albany, Troy, Utica, Rochester and Buffalo are sending to Redington & Howe for instruments.
We advise our readers to call there-No. 2 Wieting block-by all means, before buying any musical instrument or merchandise.
(From The Northern Christian Advocate, Auburn.)
" This is an old House, and has the best kind of a record for prompt busi- ness ability and for reliable and honorable dealing. They secure perfect satisfaction to all customers, whether wholesale or retail. Their facilities are the best of any establishment in Central or Western New York, and their prices correspondingly liberal. Pastors, Churches, Sabbath Schools and families will do well to correspond with or visit this House. Redington & Howe are known to us and we can recommend them as reliable dealers."
(From The Auburn Daily Advertiser.)
" A prompt, honorable House, who have the best facilities in Western New York for the Music Business, and who secure satisfaction to all customers."
(From The Oswego Daily Palladium.)
" They are thorough, honorable business men, with a larger capital and better facilities than any House in the State, outside of New York City. They keep the best instruments manufactured, and are fully responsible for the warrant they give of perfect satisfaction. We are certain that our citizens will do well to visit or correspond with this House."
From the Syracuse Daily Journal, Nov., 14th, 1868.
MUCH MUSIC .- We had no adequate idea of the magnitude of Redington & Howe's transactions in musical instruments until permitted the other day to see their order book. We were surprised at the number of instruments making their way over the country. We noticed especially a single order recently sent, which surpasses the entire yearly business of many retail es- tablishments. The order was for one hundred and seven Burdett organs and melodeons, having an aggregate value of over $20,000. We now see why Redington & Howe pay the only wholesale dealer's license in the music line, assessed by "Uncle Sam" in Central New York. They sell such large quantities because they can sell cheaper than any other dealers, (as low, if neccessary, as their competitors buy or manufacture their goods.) They are also well known to be entirely reliable and honorable in their transactions.

TO THE PUBLIC.
The great combination of improvements attained in the Dunham Piano-Forte in regard to tone, touch, power, equality, durability and workmanship, has built for it a reputation which, to-day, stands un- rivalled in every section of the country, and has also elicited from the most eminent professors, critics, connoisseurs, and the most energetic of our competitors, the unanimous opinion that the Dunham Piano can not be excelled.
Being confident that the production of a good article is the best and surest road to success, we have always aimed for perfection in our manufactures, regardless of cost. The patronage which such a course of business has gained for us, without the meretricious aid of Medals or Foreign Decorations, has proven satisfactory to us beyond our most sanguine expectations, and placed us in the highest position of the Piano-Forte trade.

REDINGTON & HOWE'S CATALOGUE.
While claiming as we do, without the fear of contradiction, for our house, the honor of first introducing to the American public this last great era of Piano-Forte improvement, which has given to American Pianos the Highest honors, and whose perfections have astonished the world, we would state that the First Grand Square Piano made by us some fifteen years since, served as the model for the great improve- ment in American Piano Fortes.
We also own the patent, now expired, for the cross or Over-Strings, which is now in general use-so popular has it become, and so pecu- niarily satisfactory has it proved to us, that we freely gave it to the world.
The Agraffe arrangement we have used in Pianos for a period of thirty years.
MERITS OF THE DUNHAM PIANO-FORTE.
Its Durability has become a proverb.
Thousands of them can be found in use, which have required no repairs, other than tuning, during a period of thirty years.
In Workmanship, It cannot be surpassed if equaled.
The best materials and the most accomplished workmen, only are employed in its construction.
In Power, Solidity, Purity, and Equality of Tone, it has no compeer.
It is pronounced by the elite of the musical profession, and the dilettanti the most perfect Piano made.
As a Safe Investment, it is the best.
Dealers throughout the country, who have sold thousands of them during our business career, have never had one returned for being defective; nor have they, during a period of nearly twenty years, been called on to pay five dollars for repairs on the whole number sold.
It can be sold after years of use, for nearly, if not quite, its original cost.
We havo orders for any quantity of them, at an advance of 33% per cent over any other make of half its age.
It is warranted in the most satisfactory manner.
The commercial standing of our house is sufficient guarantee that any claim will meet with instant liquidation.
The Juries of the Universal Exposition of Paris, admit that Amer- ican Pianos are the best, therefore Americans must be the best judges. Convinced that such is the fact, we have always striven to meet their critical requirements, and their approbation and patronage has been our reward; and we shall continue to manufacture such Instruments as will command the HIGHEST POSITION IN THE ART. regardless of Foreign Modals or Royal Decorations.

THE DUNHAM PIANO-FORTE
In asking attention to the preceding circular of the manufacturers, we add a few
REASONS FOR BUYING A DUNHAM PIANO.
This establishment is the oldest in the country and possessed of the most valuable experience, taking the lead in important improvements. (They were the inventors of the Overstrung Bass and own the Patent.)
They have the largest capital of any establishment, without exception. Their workmanship is the most perfect and durable possible.
Their scales are the most perfect.
NOTE-We ask attention to the following criticism from Watson's Art Journal.
"Their new square is one of the most beautiful instruments we ever heard. In depth, purity, and grandeur of tone, it can hardly be equaled ; its touch is exquisitely sensitive ; the registers are perfectly equalized ; it sings with a wonderful purity of vibration, and the quality of its sound is refined, lim- pid and melodious. and at the same time, great in sonority and briliance. It is truly a perfect Piano.
The house of Dunham has also been among the intellectual leaders of Piano improvers, and this new Piano is another step in advance, which will still further enhance its reputation."
The Action of the Dunham is perfect.
These Pianos have a peculiar timbre of tone, clear and melodeous, pre- ferred by the majority of musicians to that of any other Piano tchaterer.
The price is more reasonable than that of any other first-class maker.
Finally the house is of the most honorable character and ensure beyond the possibility of doubt the most perfect satisfaction to every owner of one of the Dunham Pianos.
A most important improvement has just been introduced by Messrs. Dunham & Sons' in the construction of the Upright or Boudoir Piano.
The large size of the Full ScaleS quare Piano has always been an objection from the amount of standing room required for the instrument. The Upright form has always been preferred and is the popular style in Europe and among the older musical nations.
While possessing a quality of tone so peculiarly its own and generally pre- ferred to the other grades of Pianos, an objection has always been raised to its general use on account of its complicated action. Messrs. Dunham & Sons have removed this great objection in the new
Dunham Upright Grand.
This Piano has all the merits of the compactness and beauty of form of the Upright pattern and employs at the same time the simple action of the Square Piano.
The arrangement of the Scale in the Dunham Upright is diagonal instead of perpendicular, thereby giving an Immense advantage in power and beauty of tone, as well as in the arrangement of the action. In full, round, rich power
IT EQUALS A FULL SIZED CONCERT GRAND!
with an indescribable sweetness that the Grand does not possess.
Another most important feature is the wonderful cheapness in price as com- pared with the same qualtity and quantity of tone in any other form.

As these wonderful instruments are so well known, we do not take the space to re-produce their price list, (ranging from $650, to $1800. ) These Piano-Fortes have twice taken the first prize over all the Pianos of the World, and are universally acknowledged to be the best that are made.

THE CHICKERING PIANO
has long stood at the Head. We are dealers in these magnificent instruments. Prices from $550, upward.
The Hallet, Davis & Co., Piano. ....
This standard instrument maintains its well established superiority. The Compeer and only Boston rival of the Chickering, (having sever- al times taken the first prize over its world renowned neighbor,) it is furnished by the manufacturers at a very small margin of profit. It is sold wonderfully low for such a complete first-class Piano Forte, affording customers a large saving of money. When we consider its extremely reasonable price, in connection with its unsurpassed quali- ty and durability, and the unexcelled perfection and beauty of its scales, this Piano is UNRIVALLED.
Prices from $150, upward. We supply the Trade.
THE BRADBURY PIANO,
is well known to be of superior merit. We have them at Wholesale and Retail. Prices from $575, to $1,000.
THE CENTRAL PIANO-FORTE COMPANY'S PIANO,
Manufactured by an association of workmen from Steinway's factory, so closely resembles the Steinway, as to be called the Steinway's Compeer. We sell these to the Trade on very favorable terms. Retail Prices $545, and upwards.

HINTS ON THE PRESERVATION OF THE PIANO.
It is evident that if the Piano is to remain in good order for many years. good care must be taken of it. The instrument should be closed when not in use, in order to prevent the collection of dust. pins, etc., on the sound-board: however, it must not be closed for a period of several months or longer, but be opened occasionally, and the daylight allowed to strike the keys, or else the ivory may turn yellow.
Any hard substance. no matter how small, dropped inside the Piano, will cause a rattling, jarring noise.
It is in every case desirable that an india-rubber or cloth should protect the instrument from bruises and scratches, as well as dampness.
The Piano should not be placed in a damp room. or left open in a draught of air-dampness is its most dangerous enemy, causing the strings and turn- ing pins to rust, the cloth used in the construction of the keys of action. to swell, whereby the mechanism will move sluggishly. or often stick altogether. This occurs chiefly in the summer season, and the best Pianos.s made of the most thoroughly seasoned material. are necessarily the most affected by dampness, the absorption being more rapid. Extreme heat is scarcely less injurious. The Piano should not be placed very near to an open fire or a heated stove, nor over close to the hot air from furnaces now in general use.
Moths are very destructive to the cloth and felt used in the Piano, and may be kept ont of it by placing a lump of camphor, wrapped in soft paper, in the inside corner, care being taken to renew it from time to time.
Many persons are unaware of the great importance of having their Pianos kept in order. and only tuned by a competent tuner. A new Piano should be tuned at least every three or four months, during the first year, and at long- er intervals afterward.
How to Unpack a Piano.
Take out the screws holding the lid of the box, remove the lid. take out the Piano legs and lyre, remove the board across the inside box. Place two benches or strong wide chairs. which should be covered with a quilt or other soft substance, alongside the box where the back of the Piano is, slide the Piano toward the end where the legs were-about six inches, have the Piano lifted out by four persons, one at each corner, and set it on the two benches or chairs on its back.
Unscrew the cross-boards on each end of the bottom, and put the lyre and legs on, which are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, for their respective places. Have the four persons lift the Piano off the benches and set it down so that the four legs will touch the floor at the same time. Unlock the instrument (the key will be found tied to the lyre.) and wipe off the dust lightly with a soft silk handkerchief, or piece of buck-skin.
Purchasing Musical Instruments.
There is, probably, no article of household equipment, the construction of which the majority of purchasers know so little of as pianos. There are few articles that are used so continuously, and for the length of time that pianos are, hence the importance of durability. The finest case may cover a fifth rate interior : a fine tone piano when new may subsequently prove to be made of cheap material that fails after a few years use.
Cheap Pianos with which the country is flooded, are invariably the most ex- pensive in the end, i. e .. if we estimate loss of tone and constant annoyance by the instrument being ont of repair. of any account. It is wisest therefore, for purchasers to get their instruments of dealers, if they are to be found, who are known as practical men, both musically and mechanically, as well as honorable .-- Ogdensburg Daily Journal.

THE BURDETT ORGANS.
REDINGTON & HOWE,
Are happy to announce that they have secured the State Agency for the shove Organs. Our own opinion agrees with the acknowledgement of all leading Mu- sicians as to the great superiority of the Burdett Organ, with its present patente improvements.
A careful examination of these Instruments will convince any lover of the beautiful in music, that these organs contain more purity of tone-more variety of expression-more power, than any other Organ known.
We would call especial attention to their last great improvements, the CowBI- NATION ORGAN of Mr. Burdett, and the wonderful Vox CELESTE STOP ; the CAx. PANELLA ATTACHMENT of Mr. R. M. Carpenter, together with his IMPROVED Vox HUMANA TREMOLO. Also, the improved HARMONIO ATTACHMENT, (doubling the power ;) the PATENT MANUAL SUB-BASS, (giving a wonderful depth and volume of tone ;) the ORCHESTRAL SWELL; the DOUBLE BLOW PEDALS, and others.
THE COMBINATION ORGAN
Has one and a half Banks of Keys, with four Sets of Reeds, tuned in a manner to give the greatest variety possible in a Reed instrument.
We have only space to mention one peculiar and beautiful stop in the Combina- tion Organ, the effect of which heretofore has never been heard in a Reed Organ.
THE VIOLINCELLO STOP,
used for solos alone, is most entrancing when used with the Vox Humana. It -
seems almost to speak words-certainly it speaks to the heart of every listener. No one should fail to make inquiry about this Organ.
THE VOX CELESTE STOP
Is a new and most valuable improvement, which brings into use an extra set of reeds, which, by their peculiar arrangement and method of tuning, produce a wonderfully beautiful string quality of tone, with a most astonishing power. sur- passing all the previous efforts of the inventor. This admirable improvement, which has created such a sensstion among Organ makers, as well as with the musical Publie, is found only in the Burdett Organ.
THE CAMPANELLA ATTACHMENT,
The latest and best of all mr. Carpenters inventions, now for the first time placed before the public, will, when listened to, tell its own sweet story. The Campa- nella is a stop resembling the tinkling of Fairy Bells, or the rippling waters of a fountain, making music so sweet and harmonious, that it passes AEolian-like over the senses-as passes the music of a Harp at night touched by Fairy fingers. This enchanting stop should certainly be heard by all lovers of music. The patent has been applied for by Mr. Capenter, the inventor.
--
THE VOX HUMANA TREMOLO
of Mr. R. M. Carpenter, so much admired by musicians every where, needs only a word. It has already become a Household Glory, and no Organ is complete without the beauty it imparts to the tone. This stop should not be confounded with Mr. Carpenter's former invention. It is an improved Vox Humans-has no third pedal-is perfectly noiseless in its operation-has no clock work to get out of order-is entirely simple in construction-is found only in the Burdett Organ- and when once heard, delights and fascinates the listener.
We invite the most rigid scrutiny of these Organs by Dealers, the Profession and the Musical Public, to prove the justice of the title acknowledged to them as THE BEST ORGAN IN THE WORLD.
We have constantly on hand a large stock of these Excelsior Instruments. We supply all classes of dealers, as well as retail customers, at the lowest Factory rates. Agents will soon be found at all principal points.

THE ESTEY ORGANS.
This Veteran House (established in 1546) holds its rank at the head. and are now finishing every month hundreds of Organs and Melodeons, which are a just credit to American skill and enterprise.
The vast amount of patronage received, has been secured more by the actual merits of the instrument, than by extensive advertising and the pretentious pa- rade of their wares before the public. They have emploved and retained, from the first, some of the finest mechanics and inventors of the age, and have adopt- ted, and patented more valuable improvements, than any other establishment in the land. As the result. their instruments stand unrivalled by anything found in this country or in Europe, as is admitted by all impartial judges. The most eminent Pipe-Organ builders and performers-the last to discover excellence in reed tones-pronounce them much superior to others.
They possess the following improvements :
THE PATENT HARMONIC ATTACHMENT is an octave coupler used on a single manual, and doubles the power of the instrument without increasing its size or number of reeds. Thus. by the use of this improvement, an Organ con- taining two sets of reeds is instantly made equivalent to one of four: and a tri- reed equals an instrument of six sets of reeds, making the MOST POWERFUL instrument of its size yet known in this country.
THE PATENT MANUAL SUB-BASS brings into use an independent set of large and powerful SUB-BASS REED3. which are played with the ordinary keys and controlled by a stop. The manner in which this set of reeds is placed upon the air chamber increases the volume of tone at least one-third. This new and val- uable invention requires no extra room, and has all the effect of pedal bars, and can be used by any ordinary performer.
THE PATENT KNEE-SWELL, whereby the player has complete control over the instrument, obtaining a perfect CRESCENDO OF DIMINUENDO, more beau- tiful than the Automatic swell. of shy other ever before used.
THE PATENT ORGAN BELLOWS greatly enhances the power and quality of the tone without ineressing the size of the case.
THE PATENT REED BOARD, whereby the toneis greatly improved, ren- dering it more like s Pipe Organ than is found in any other instrument. This important improvement is covered by two patents.
THE PATENT VOX HUMANA TREMOLO.
In attempting to describe the effect of this stop, we are at a loss for language ; its beauties cannot be written. but must be heard to be appreciated. By this stop an ordinary performer can produce an effect which requires a lifetime of practice for an artist upon the Violin.
It changes entirely the reed-tone, giving the sympathetic sweetness of the HUMAN VOICE, making is so melodious and pure that it never fails to enchant the appreciative listener.
The Tremolo is produced by means of a REVOLVING FAN placed just back of the swell, which imparts to the tone a charming wave-like effect hitherto un- known in instrumental music.
THE FOX JUBILANTE
Is a new and beautiful stop. peculiar to the ESTEY ORGANS. The character of the tone is marked and wonderfully effective, giving a style of music hitherto unattained in instruments of this class. This is accomplished by an extra set of reeds. ingeniously arranged, and adjusted to meet this special, and hitherto un- supplied want. It is considered by competent judges a great success.

Popularity of the Dunham Piano.
We are sometimes asked why the Dunham Piano Forte has not been more prominently before the public for the last eight years. We give the reason. At the commencement of the late war, the Dunham, senior. concluded to de- grease the very large manufacturing done by himself, so long as public et- tention should be so completely absorbed in the stirring events then tran- spiring, consequently he diminished his force employed and sent during the war the greater portion'of his pianos to the Canadian Provinces, (Where the demand for the Dunham Pianos call for more than five hundred instru- ments every year).
At the conclusion of the war, he associated with him two sons as partner .. built a new factory, and the firm of JOHN B. DUNHAM & Soxs are now manu- facturing very largely.
The high opinion of their pianos entertained by Piano Dealers is evinced by the great desire of the principal houses to secure the Dunham agency.

YOUNG WARRIOR MOWER
MANUFACTURED BY THE
WARRIOR MOWER CO.,
LITTLE FALLS, N. Y .. SUCCESSORS TO BRAMER & PIERCE. FABIUS, N. Y.
This popular Mower has been in use for the past five seasons, and is. therefore. no ver unfried ma- chine, but one that has been practically tested and perfected. and is a perfectly reliable first-class Mower, as hundred- who have them in use will testify. We claim for this Mower superiority over most others in the following points :
It is the lightest draft of any machine made, average drait in heavy grass being only 175 lbs. ; it is simple. compact. neat and durable. No bearing down on hor-es' neeks ; no side draft. Has an easy seat to ride on. and is the easiest and most convenient machine to manage. manufactured. Iron frame, two driving wheel -. planetary gearing entirely enclosed from grass. dirt. &c .. flexible fobiling cutting apparatus, closely guarded, made of the best material. in a good workmanlike manner, and fully warranted.
ASTOCK COMPANY has been corporated at LITTLE FALLS, N. Y .. known as above. for the manufacture of the Young Warrior Hower, in which the former proprietors, Messrs. BRAMER & PIERCE. have a large interes. and who will give their personal attention to their manufacture, and the public can rest assured that the reputation of the Mower as to finish and ex. cellence of mechanical construction, will be fully sustained. and. If possible. increased. Hoping that the patrons of the old company may be counted a- patron- for the new, and promising to do our utmost to make a first-class desirable Mower. we remain. yours respectfully.
WARRIOR MOWER COMPANY. To whom send all orders for CIRCULARS. MACHINES and EXTRAS. EXTRAS for the YOUNG WARRIOR may be found at
