universal satisfaction. Thousands of families may each 
gel a premium one this year. They are made by the 
Metropolitan Washing Machine Co., Middlelield, Ct. 
3fo. -13— .4. Tea Sot.— This premium has 
given the greatest satisfaction for the last three years. 
There are six pieces, viz.: .-1 Coff.e Tot, two Tea Pots, a 
( reamer, Sugar, and Slop Bowl— all of beautiful, uniform 
pattern, new style, with raised and embossed figure 
work. They are not the common silver-u>asft«j articles, 
but the heaviest plate, equal to "Sheffield Plate," the foun- 
dation being white metal, so as not to show, even when 
the heavy silver-coating may chance to be worn off in any 
spot by long hard usage. — These Sets are made by the 
Lucius Hart Manu'g. Co., of Nos. 4 and C Burling Slip, N. 
Y. ( Sty. Mr. Hart, " the veteran Sunday School man,'' has 
been in the same place and business for nearly a quarter 
of a century. We have known him and his. work for many 
years, and take pleasure in commending and guarantee- 
ing its value to be as represented. The amount of 
silver on plated ware depends wholly upon the will and 
integrity of the manufacturer. We cotdd give nearly 
as good looking plated ware for less than half the money. 
The Bets given as premiums are boxed without charge, 
and sent to any place by express or otherwise as desired. 
I>'o. -11— Castor and Frnit or Cake 
Basket Combined.— This is a new pattern, both 
novel and beautiful. It can be used as a large, showy, 
Castor, with six cut glass bottles, or be instantly chang- 
ed into a complete Castor, with Call Bell, and a separate 
Cake or Fruit Basket, with a colored glass dish inside. 
Every one receiving it will be delighted. It is from the 
same makers as No. 4:3, of same metal, plating, etc., and 
is sent in the same way. Many lower-priced and less beau- 
tiful Castors could be obtained, but we select the best. 
"So. -15— Ice or Water Pitcher. — A 
large and ornamental article. It is of the same metal, 
plating, etc., and by the same makers as No. 43. For 35 
subscribers at $1.50 each, we will add a round Salver of 
pattern to correspond (value $6); or, for 47 subscribers, 
a large 1(5 inch oval Salver, (value $14.1 large enough for 
two goblets with the Pitcher; and for 5:3 subscribers, 
the Pitcher, large Salver, and a pair of beautiful Gob- 
lets, silver-plated without, and gilded within lvalue $38). 
This complete Set is exceedingly desirable, though 
the Pitcher alone, or that and the smaller Tray or Salver, 
will answer a good purpose, both for use and ornament. 
H'o. 16— One Dozen 'S'cnspoons. — 
These are of fine pattern, " figured tips." Olive-leaf 
Pattern, all of the same metal, plating, etc.. and from

Mo. IS— One Dozen Table Forks.-

irable instruments, for the Home Circle, 
for small « nnrches, for Sunday Schools, for Day Schools, 
Academies, etc. Instrumental and Vocal music in a school

scribers for this premium. We offer Geo. A. Pitmen 
& CO's. Melodcons, for we know them to be good, A 
large one in our own Sunday School room has been in 
use for nine years, and is to-day just as good as 
when first purchased, though used from time to lime 
by a large number of persons. — Several clergy- 
men have obtained this premium for themselves, 
their Churches, or Sunday School rooms. The premium 
clubs of subscribers were quickly raised among the 
members of their parishes. Many others can get 
this premium for their own home use. We have 
given these instruments as premiums for several j'ears, 
and wc believe they have invariably been highly 
esteemed. Send a postage stamp to Geo. A. Prince & 
Co., Buffalo, N. Y., and get their illustrated descriptive 
circular, giving full particulars of forms, sizes, and prices. 
Tie- premium Melodcons will be shipped direct from the 
manufactory at Buffalo, ready boxed for safe transporta- 
tion by Railroad, Steamboat, or by Express, as ordered. 
They go just as safely by freight, as by express.

Frame, Patent Agraffe Table, Gothic Legs, and 
Carved Lyre.— This is one of the most elegant Pre- 
miums ever offered ; regular and only prl«3 $G50. That 
this magnificent instrument comes from the celebrated 
establishment of Messrs. Steinway & Sons, Nos. 71 and 
73 East 14th street, is enough to say ; but it is due to these 
enterprising manufacturers to state that, while their 
pianos have repeatedly received the First Premiums 
by the award of the most competent judges the world 
can produce, at the Universal Exposition, in Paris, 
they received the First Grand Gold Medal for Amer- 
ican Pianos in all three styles exhibited, viz.: Grand, 
Square, and Upright. The following official certificate 
was signed by the President and the five members of 
the International Jury: "Paris, July 20th, 1867. I certify 
that the First Gold Medal for American Pianos has been 
unanimously awarded to Messrs. Steinway by the Jury of 
the International Exhibition. First on the List in Class 
X." The Society of Fine Arts, in Paris, unanimously 
awarded Steinway & Sons their only annual Testimonial 
Medal for 1867. The President of the Musical Department 
of that society reports : " The Pianos of Messrs. 
Steinway appear to me, as well as to all the artists 
who have tried them, superior to all that have been made 
to this day in the entire world." The best judges in 
America say the same. We also speak from 
personal knowledge, as each of our partners has one at 
home, Slid desires no better. This splendid premium 
may be secured by many persons. Only 540 subscrib- 
ers are reqnircd to do it. One lady obtained two and 
sold them, and several others one each, during last 
year, in 1 to 3 months. It will pay for even a year's 
labor. Classes of young ladies at school might unite in 
canvassing, and obtain a present for a Teacher, ora Piano 
for their schoolroom. Wc shall be glad to give this pre- 
mium to a large number. Who will try for it ? Send to 
Messrs. Steinway & Sons for a free circular describing it. 
^fo.55 — Colihri Piano.— This is a newly 
invented Piano, the work of Mr. Frederick Malhushek, 
who has for many years been known among manufac- 
turers as the author of some of the best improve- 
ments introduced into the piano. It is on1y43f feet 
long, 2V, feet wide, of the square form, yet having 7 
full octaves. Some eminent musicians examined it at 
our request, and pronounced it an instrument of re- 
markable power, brilliancy, and sweetness. H. Mollen- 
bau'-r. Director of the Conservatory of Music, New 
York, says: "Their tone is truly a-tonishingly sweet, 
pure, and powerful, and so greatly superior to all 
others, that they must be heard to form a just conception 
of their superior excellence." Its peculiar construction 
secures improvement in sounding qualities, durability. 
otc. It is finished in handsome style, with rosewood 
case, large round comers, fancy scroll desk, legs, lyre, 
etc., and will lie an ornament in anypaflor, besides being 
entirely satisfactory as a musical instrument. Other styles

cially adapted to tin- wants of main- of our readers. 
Messrs. Harlow. Doehler .': Co, 694 Broadway, N. Y., are 
the agents, and will send circulars, giving full particulars.
