the well alive and the well filed up. A
large number of persons congregated about
the well on the Sd inst. to dig down and
ascertain the truth of the boys story
When they had dug down about 25 feet,
a stencil arose so nauseating that they had

new line of Transatlantic Telegraph. He
says: at is my purpose to go over the
whole route from Quebec to Europe, trav-
ersing Labrador, Davis Straits, Greenland,
the sea to Iceland, and over that Isle, and
thence by the Farce Isles to Norway and
to North Scotland. I intend to see every
foot of the land and water to be traversed
before I present the enterprise for public
favor. There will be no speculation in my
undertaking. You will never hear of any
stock in this line until it has been deter
mined as practicable route for the tele-
graph proposed"

The FIRST TELRaRApH.-The first cleo
tromagnetic line in the United States, was
constructed between Washington and Bal
timore, the distance forty miles, and was
completed in 1874. Congress, after much
debate and opposition, contributed $4,000
towards its construction. A Company
was thereupon formed, with Amos Kendall
as President, for the continuation of the
line; and in ls45 it was extended between
New York and Wilmington, Delaware,
leaving gap between the latter point and
Baltimore, which was finally filed up ear
" In 1915.
