large glass, earthen, or stone-ware jars, by merely corking or 
tying paper over them, and using them from lime to time, 
as wanted, without fermentation being occasioned by weeks 
of exposure to the air.

THE NEW METHOD FOR THE PIANO-FORTE, by 
YVilliam Mason (the distinguished pianist), and E. S. 
IIoadly, is a great improvement upon all previous works, 
and is used and recommended as such by the best teachers. 
It preserves what is valuable in previous books, and adds 
many new features. It is the only modern piano-forte in¬ 
structor published, presenting tlie technics of modern piano- 
.•forte playing. St is easier to teach and learn from, and se¬ 
cures more rapid and thorough progress than any other 
book. No teacher of the piano-forte can afford to do with¬ 
out its aid. It is the best book for beginners, and the best 
for those who have made progress. Price $4.00. To facili¬ 
tate its examination by teachers, we will, until July 1st, send 
a single copy to any teacher of the piano-forte by mail, 
postage paid, for half price, two dollars. An edition is pub¬ 
lished with European fingering, and one with American 
fingering.
