He carne here with an organ which Dr. Kapp had selected while on a recent visit to the f aotory in Ann Arbor. It ia a fine toned instrument and has a handsome case, like an uprigbt piano, and very elegantly finished. Mr. A. started in business in 1873, in a small way, but the superiority of his instrument has brought him a good trade and he is now employing eight men and is now doubling the size of his factory to meet the demanda for his instruments. Wishing to re move a large stump that stood near his new house, Milo Rowe, of Sharon, put a charge of three pounds of hercules powder into it, expecting to blow it to atoms.

It will cost considerable to repair the damages, and the stump is not all out yet.
