constructed their lines to meet the requirements
of the proposed North American Telegraph
The fulfllment of these concessions Is the Cd
ject of the present expedition
1t is his purpose to sail along the east coast
of Labrador to lat. Sc, to South Greenland,
where proper places for landing the cable will
be determined upon. Possibly, a part of Green
land will be traversed by an underground line
From Greenland the vessel will sail for Ice
land where like examinations will be insti-
tuted. From Iceland it will proceed to the
Farce Islands and to North Scotland, as the
end of the voyage. Along the coasts of Labra-
dor, Greenland, Iceland, and the Farce Islands,
and in the deep seas between, soundings will
be taken
Col. Shaffner thinks that for sum not ex-
ceeding 81, 100000, the two continents can be
geographically connected, via Greenland, with
a cable containing three lines of communica-
ton, either and all of which can be successfully
worked for practical Geographic purposes.
The longest section will be between Labrador
and Greenland, distance not exceeding 800
marine miles; from Greenland to Iceland the
distance will be from 800 to 500 miles, accord
ing to the point of connection with Greenland
from Iceland to the Farce Islands, 270 miles
from the Farce Islands to Scotland, 200 miles
and from the latter place to Norway, some 4OC
miles. These sections, he thinks, can be
worked practically, though not with the celer

fully down the bay, touching at Rocky Point,
where a portion of the company stopped till
the return trip. Arriving at the grove about
halfpast eleven o'clock, each one resorted to
such amusement as seemed most agreeable, and
every one seemed well entertained-some in
bathing, some in swinging, some in searching
for shells and curious stones on the beach, and
others in genial social way, best suited to
the hour.
A substantial dinner, furnished by Mr.. Ed
mund Cole of the Portsmouth Grove Hotel,
was among the most satisfactory and best ap-
preciated enjoyments of the occasion, to many.

any accident to mar its pleasure. The Band

COL. sHAFFNER,s TELEGRAPH PROJECT.

Col L. z. Shaffner of Louisville, KY, who
has resided in this city much of the time for
the last year or two, stopping with his family
at the Lincoln House, proposes to sail today
[ Monday, from Boston, in the barque Wv

by himself, with a crew of six or seven per
sons, on survey for a route for a line of tele-
graphic communication between this country
and Europe by the way of Greenland, Iceland

being to examine the seas, the bays, and the
lands, contemplated to be traversed by the
North American telegraph connecting the old
and new worlds, over the route designated.
Col Shaffner commenced in 1853 the adyo
cacy of an ocean telegraph, but has ever been

any Atlantic telegraph project like that of
last year, holding it to be utterly impossible

course it is impossible to have under water
To obyiate this difficulty it was necessary to
devise some other course
Accordingly, in 1854, as he states, believing
that subaqueous line from Newfoundland TO
Ireland could not be successfully worked for
practical purposes, Col Shaffher proceeded to
Denmark and obtained royal concession for
the exclusive rights over Greenland Iceland
and the Farce Islands, for The term of one hun.

with America. In 1866 he obtained co.opera-

THE BALL PLAYING SATURDAY.-The ball
and cricket players occupied both the COM
nous last Saturday, and their vigorous play
ing was watched with much interest by crowds
of spectators.
On the new common, the Pascoag cricket
club of Pascoag, r. l., contested with the
Union club of this city. The latter were vic
torious on one inning and nine runs. The
victors made fifty-nine runs in all, OF which
T. Hill, James Scanlon and G. Brennan made
respectively Is, IA and 9. The Pascoag club
made seventeen runs on the first inning, and
thirty three on the second, making fifty in all.
The highest number of runs was by James
GARRISON, who made six.
The game of ball played on the old Com
mon, between the Clipper club of Sturbridge
- e 4l.:e oitv was
watched with deep interest by large crowd
of men, women, and children AT the start,
the Sturbridge club led off, getting twenty
nine tallies to eight by their opponents, and for
a long time they led about seventeen taies.
AT this juncture the Mechanics club resolved
on coup detG. They commenced throwing
low balls, and succeeded in rapidly recovering
lost ground, and made forty one tallies against
twenty by the Clippers, and the game then
stood torty-nine for the Mechanics to fifty for
the Clippers; whereupon the Sturbridge boys
suspended playing, This was unexpected to
the Worcester club, who were calculating to
finish the game and reach one hundred tallies
long time in advance of their opponents. 1t
is to be regretted that the Sturbrdge club did
not continue. 1t was an interesting contest
The common was further enlivened by
drill of the Sd Battalion and music by Joslyn's
