A MALICIOUS RAS JAL
Enters the Opera House and Fours
Mucilage on Two Fine Pianos.
A piece of malicious rascality wap
perpetrated in Athens Me nday nigh*,
The two magnificent Charges H. Stone
pianos used in MisBes Men's concert
were left in the opera house. These
were very fine instruments and every
one was delighted at their superior tone,
when heard at the concert.
Monday MrTHaselton sold one of
these pianos and carried the purchaser
round to the opera house to show the
instrument. Everything was all right
then. Yesterday be had another call
for the Stone piano and carried a lady
to the opera house to examine the in
truments.
Imagine his surprise when he . found
that the middle scale of each of thes
oianos were gummed with mucilage
The muoilage was poured over the
keys of the middle scale, but none. of
the other keys were harmed. The piano
that belongs to the opera house was net
touched by the malicious rascal.
Mr. Haselton says the instruments
were not damaged, as the .mucilage can
be readily removed from the keys. He
vill offer a reward, however, for the
apprehension of the guilty party.
The two magnificient in
strumente were brought here
especially for the concert given by th
Misses Mel), and had never been
played in the music house of Haselton
and Dozier.
Yesterday afternoon they were taken
from the opera house and placed in the
8tore rooms of Haselton and Dozier.
