Mr.. Joseph Henry has sold all his Berk-
shire pigs at $500 the pair. His next
filters will be for sale in February. As
an evidence of what hogs these pigs
would make, if let run to IS months old,
we are informed that one was killed at

and another at IA which weighed 3l2.-
They were not pen fed either.
This is the Mayors Bakers notice in

Sixty ounces for twenty cents.
Thirty ounces for ten cents.
Fifteen ounces for fifteen cents.
Bakers of bread are required to use on
" the best -four of the above value 49,
SOY per barrel. and the use of damaged or
inferior flour In bread offered for sale in
this city is prohibited. Consumers of
bread are requested to report at the
nearest police station any violation of the
above ordinance, either in variation Of
weight or quality of material.
Couldn't our City fathers see to the
bread here. Say they gave us forty-eight
ounces for twenty cents. Twenty-four
ounces for ten cents, and twelve ounces
for five cents. The complaints from pur-
chasers is universal, and there is a bread
ordinance which has never been enforced.

MUSICAL. SOUNDS TRAVERSE tn hAislFohD All
BACK TO NEW YORK.
Thomas A. Edison, New York clectrl,
clan, has perfected and recently brought OUT
an instrument which carries long step
forward the new science OF telephony. Ii
ia based on entirely novel principles. ana
differs in toto from the telephones OF Pro
fcssors Gray and Bell. 1t was proposed 10
try it between New York and Saratoga,
about two hundred miles, distance Which
even the simply instrumental telephones
have never successfully traversed. 10 test
the practicability OF such feat the expert
.ment was tried yesterday OF sending music
over loop Of wire to Hartford and back.
or $40 miles Yhis was done ut noon yes
terday in the Western Union building,
Broadway and Dey street, under the super
vision Of Mr.. E. II. johnson, an able cleo
trician, and Mr.. Downcr, manager OF the
central Office. Several amateur singers,
who had volunteered for the occasion, sang
in the end of tube resembling somewhat
the open end OF clarionet, and the music
having traversed the $40 miles OF wire was
at its termination by complex
and ingenious continuance in a tone which
was clearly audible anywhere within large
room in another part OF the building. This
result was so entirely satisfactory that it has
been determined to give concert in Sara
toga, and Signor Tagliapetro, among other
vocalists, has been engaged to sing in this
city on that occasion.-Ne,o K0rE Herald.
