The Buffalo Republic says three pieces Of the Atlantic
cable which purchased by Messrs Tiffany Il Co.,
of New.YoIk have been laid the Mississippi at
ST. LOUIS in order to put that office 10 connection With
the Eastern lines. The fret cable worked very well
for about three weeks the second about thirteen hours,
and the third, which laid Saturday evening, gave
cut on Sunday night. On Ihurrdsy the second cso.e
was dscoveed-notbiUg percepble TO account for tho
cessation OF the working capacity Of the cable Toe
las cable was put to good test having been entirely
subn eyed for over two hours before being laid The
6rst cable was examined from 81. Louis 70 near tho
Illinois shore where the cable, having been imbedded

there nothing percepuble that could tesd TO the
