arrangements to have the next news from Europe
transmitted TO us by the magnetic telegraph, from
Bosten as tar as the telegraph should be extended

the news. II did not at first enter our mind that
lightning was seldom to be had in the winter. II is
only IN the hot, sultry weather of the summer that
