TO BE PUBLISHED IN SEPTEMBER. A NEW METHOD

fob the PIANO-FORTE,

by WILLIAM MASON AND E. S. HOADLY.

This book is modern,-original and complete Coming after so many others on the same subject, it contains that which has proved of value in them, and has aduea many new features, which, though they have never before been published, have been thoroughly testod in private teach ing, and are of great value. Some of them have long been known to the best teachers, while others are quite novel, being comparatively unknown. Of the latter class are the Accent Exercises invented by Mr. Mason, which form the most important improvement in the art of teaching which has been introduced lor many years. The method teaches the art of fingering more fully than any previous work, introducing new modes of overcoming difficulties, elucidating principles by copious analyses, ana ti.us enabling the learner to understand \hoiu easily. It gives very important and hitherto needed directions in regard to training the hand. It teaches the true mode of accompanying vocal music, both sacreu and secular, and imparts sunicient ins ruction in harmony for those who wish to extempoiize interludes and other short pas sages. Its selection of pieces for practice is largo uud very pleasing; for notn aiugle composition has beec ad mitted that is not really attractive. These pieces are ar ranged progressively from the simplest Recreation, adapted to a beginner, up to a highly wrought and do ligucful Anaante by Mozart, now for tne hist time print ed in this couniry, w?iic? forms a fitting cli ax to tue whole. Th work is remarkable also for its omissions; for difficulties aro oarofully excluded until the learner is prepared for them It furnishes tho necessary material, aud shows how to train pupils in the most thorougu manner, so that pupils who tollow its instructions faith fully wili gain artisuc prolieieucy in a much shortor time, and with vasLyless labor than has usuady been required.

Two edidons will be published, one having the Ameri can nngenng, and ttie other t?o European.

One largo quarto volume, --21 pages, price $3 75. An early specimen copy wilt be mailed to any address

MATHUSHEK PIAJVOS. By a recent invention of Mr. Frederick Mathushek (the

New Patent Equalizing Scale with Lineas Bridge), the d. wer of the Piano is so grea lv in reased that an in strument of little mor than half the usual size, and less th "n one-third the weight, is in tone, Volume, brilliancy and all other re pec s, equal to that of the full sized Piano. This is demonstrated in the COLI ,RI PIANO, four feet nine inches long, two feet eight inches wide, yet having seven ful1 octaves. THE ORCHESTRAL PIANO (ordinary size), by the same arrangement, e uals a Conceit iirand.

H, Gbovestsen, who has had practical experience of over hirty years in their manufacture, is fully warranted in ovory particular.

THE "GROVESTEEN PIANO-FORTE" Received the Highest Award of Merit over all others at the Great World's Fair, where were exhibited instruments from the b?*st makers in London, Paris, Garmany, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston and New York; and also at the American Institute for five successive years, the gold and silver medals from both of which can be seen at our warerooms.

Bv the introduction of improvements we make a still more pcrfcot Piano-Forto, and by manufacturing largely, with a strictly cash system, are enabled to

Offer these instruments at a price that will preclude all competition. TERMS?Net Cash in Current Funds. Descriptive Circulars sent free.

United States Mutual Piano-Forte Association. (Charterea According to diet or Legislature.)

This Association is chartered for the purpose of furnishing its members each with a Piano-Forte of the first class, with all the modern improvements at the cost of manufacture?to be paid for in monthly instalments of HO. All funds, as fast as received for iubicriptions or otherwise, to bo invested in Piano Fortes; which at least once in each month are tobe dstriluted tosuoh members as will pay the highest premiums for possessions o an instrument at onoe, the said premium tobe paid on delivery of the Piano-Forte, after which only *i0 per month will be required, until the instrument is paid for at the original cost.

Non-subscribers of the Association who wish to avail themselves of its advantages in getting its Piano-Fortes can do so by paying in cash the cost of an instrument and an advance of $40.

By the foregoing it will be seen:

1st. That you are sura of getting a first-class Piano-Forte?warranted in every particular?at the lowest pos sible price?say at $360, whioh class of instruments are generally sold at (COO.

2nd. That you can get an instrument costing $3 0 at once by paying a small premium of oerbaps $20 to $30, and the i stallment of $10 per month afterwards until the $3ti0 id paid, which is le?s than an instrument of the aine class con be rented.

3d. That there can be no risk, at all moneys are invested in Piano-Fortes as fast an received, which are dla? tributed to the subscribers menthly, hence it is one of the safest institutions in the country.

4th. That one-half of the premium paid for the immediate possession of the instrument, will probably be suffl. oieni to pay all ex. eases?owoe-hire?advertising?printing, and interest on money advanoed, &c.

5th. That as all the funds for premiums and profits on instruments sold to non-subscribers, after paying ox

penses/ go into the general fund?consequently, as it belongs equally to every subscriber, those who choose to

wait for their instrument will receive credit for their share of s id funds which will accumulate monthly until perhaps?before the expiration of three years, they will be entitled to an instrument at less than one half or

one QUarter the original cost?besides making it o ie of the best of investments for small sums?as the share?

will increase from 10 to 15 per cent, annually?a largo inteiest?and rendering them always saleable
