INCREASING TELEGRAPHIC FACILITIES WITH
EUROPE Two events reported this morning
show that the opportunities for telegraphing
between Europe and America are improving
The Atlantic cable laid in 1866 has been re-
paired and is now in perfect working order,
and the shore end of the new telegraph cable
has been successfully landed at Rye Beach,
New Hampshire. The steamer Ambassador
from which this shore end was laid, was to
proceed later yesterday to lay the cable from
Rye Beach to the shoals and then to sail east
ward with the Faraday. 1t will not be long,
therefore, before this new Atlantic cable com
munication will be open to the public. The
people of New Hampshire were rejoicing
greatly over the successful enterprise in con-
nection with their coast. A hundred guns
were fred and skyrockets and other fireworks
were exhibited on the occasion. The cable
business, evidently, is profitable. Let us hope
the increased number of cables will lead to O
reduction of the rates, and thus promote trade
and the diffusion of intelligence between
America and Europe

ONE OF OUR Mosr experienced engineers
suggests that the general use of white pine in
our buildings is one of the causes of our ex-
tensive conhagrations. He says that even in
New York our doors, window castings, sashes
and inside work are of pine. This is more or
less saturated with oil and covered with paint,
30 that during dry season like the present
in Chicago. which is the largest pine lumber
market in the world, and where half the build
ings are of pine, it is wonder how fire once
under good headway can be stopped. He
thinks hard woods should be used and pine
rejected as much as possible, as in Europe,
and that the insurance companies should
charge for extra risk where pine is the prin-
cipal wood in building ''When we pur-
chase kindling wood" he writes, ''we want
pine. When we want security against fire
should we not reject pine 2"

Cumberland COunty.-From the Cum
berland county papers of last week, we
copy the following:
Some evenings since a young lady, who
took part in recent entertainment iG Car
Isle, lost diamond ring valued at $500
whilst on her way to the Hall. A light
was procured and the ring found on the
street.
We learn that on last Thursday morning,
about half-past three o'clock, fire was dis
covered in the grocery and dry goods estab-
lishment of II. II. Lamb & Co., in Shepherds
town. The flames spread rapidly, and the
main store house and Office of DIR. Ross,
were totally consumed. Colp's hotel and
the dwelling of Dr. Ross were also consid-
erably scorched, and 1t required the united
efforts of the neighbors to save them from
total destruction. The loss will probably
reach ten or twelve thousand dollars.
On Wednesday morning of last week,
Wash Thompson, a colored assistant at the
Franklin House, received kick on the low
or jaw from horse belonging to an Adams
county farmer. Wash was putting on the
gears, and while in the act of stFapping the
belly band, and in STOPPING position, the
animal lifted his right foot and kicked him.
The shoe of the animal made an ugly cash
on the chin, causing painful wound, 9TH
erwise, he was not injured. Volunteer.
The many friends and acquaintances of
the Rev. j. b. Soule, pastor of Diamond
Chapel, will be gratifled to learn that he
has entirely recovered from his recent spell
of sickness. The reverend gentleman has
made hosts of friends since he has resided
in our town, and that he may always re-
main here Is the fervent desire of all.

was sentenced to Jail for 80 days, has gone.
He staid around town and boarded with
the Sheriff the allotted number Of days,
but when his time expired, on Monday Of

of clothes belonging to the Sheriff's son,

mitted for robbing the house of Mrs. Hoff-
man to go with him, That will perhaps
save the county the cost of trying the
tramp, and boarding him, and for that per-

to the darkey. But the kind heart of the
Sheriff is wounded at the ingratitude of
his former prison er and his belief in the
total depravity of the colored race is
strengthened.
