More Enterprise.

Yesterday Manager Morgan and John
A Torrance, lately admitted to practice
at our bar succeeded in completing y
telephone attachment to one of the
Western Union wires, by which the
transmission Of the song of singer can
be heard for miles away. There is r
a machine of this kind attached to one of
the wires ut Newark, Ohio, connecting
with the office here. A singer in the
Newark office, Monday evening, sang TO
an audience of five or SIX persons at this
office. Every word was distinct
~ heard, as well ss the perfect
strains of an unbroken air. The ma
chine put in at the office in this city, Is
composed of tube in the shape of
sausage suffer" and has a piece of
sheepskin stretched tightly over tho
smaller end. A small steel needle, two
inches long, is attached to the skin by
means of sealing wax. The needle is
then passed through a brass post, and is
regulator by screw, which, when tight.
enCd up, comes in contact with the nee
die, and throws the telephone in circuit
and gives it battery. This machinery IS
then attached to the wires and
everything is ready tor the trans
mission of sound The whole thing,
when completed does not cost more than
81 80 The manager informs US that he
will be ready to give an entertainment
within few evenings.
Last night about l. o'clock Mr.. Tor

ments and serensded Manager Morgan

The Fourteenth street Grade.

Surveyor Peterson made survey on
Fourteenth street, yesterday morning,
for the proposed grade on that street be-
tween Woods and McCulloch streets, and
Gen. Mahsny, with his workhOuse gang,
commenced work on 1t in the afternoon.
The grade will be fifteen feet deep at the
highest point, and one-half the width OF
an ordinary street. This narrow grade,
in the opinion of the property holders of
that locality, is an unwise measure, as 1t
will put them to considerable expense
without improving the street greatly In
in appearance or convenience. 1t is also
said that the grade will soon be filled up
by the wash from the hill on the north
side. A grade the full width Of the
street, with stone wall to protect it
from the wash, would be of lasting bene.
fit, and would advance the value of the
property IN that locality sufficiently to
reimburse the owners for their necessary
outlay. II is not too late TO adopt this
and it would be the most
economical plan in the long run.

To County SnDsruts,tdmts AMI Teachers
Of West Virginia:
In answer to various inquiries we take
this method OF stating that the Peabody
Institutes" which We expec. TO have
conducted during the summer probably
four in each Congressional district OF
the State, are provided for by DR.. B.
Sears, general agent Of the Peabody
Fund. They are placed under my man
sgemens, with authority TO locate them,
and to appoint the instructors who
shall conduct them. As they form no
part Of our school system, as provided for
by our school law, attendance on them
will be entirely voluntary and cannot be
credited 10 the eight dsys OF Attendance
required by law on our county Institute.
Hence we shall only locate them among
teachers who desire and will appreciate
them.
We earnestly solicit the active &C.
operation OF all teachers, particularly
the County SuperiEtendents. Sections
80 and j5 o. the school law impose new
and important duties upon these officers,
and they cannot TAIL to see the special
fitness OF these peabody Institutes to
prepare them for the more skillful per-
formaLce of their new work. We shall
aim to have them conducted by eXper-
fenced teachers, vino, both by precept
and example, will present and enforce
the best methods, not only OF conducting
Institutes, but of teaching and managing
schools.
The wisdom Of the Legislature in pro
viding for county Institutes, at the great
expense which they necessarily involve,
can only be justified through fslthtuEcss
and competency IN the county superin-
tentenIcnts in conducting them; and we
cannot too earnestly urge upon them the
high obligation under which they are
placed to embrace this opportunity for
studying the best methods tor performing
this, the most difficult, as IL Is the most
valuable part cf their official service.
We respectfully ask the interest Ct the
people Of the State, in this and al other
measures taken to lift up the standard of
education among us, and increase the
efficiency Of our school system. Faithful
and competent work on the part OF OIL.
GERS and teachers, and the sustaining
sympathy and watchfulness Of the whole
people, the common patrons of the
schools, are the essential powers CT cur
success. respectfully,
W. X. PENDLETOS,
State superintendent

he sustained the injuries stated above,
from the sharp edges Of the sheets.
