TElMpuoNH.-An inventive genius OF
Liberty, this county invented telephone
recently which worked like a charm to the
amazing delight OF all parties in that place
The mems used tor lis construction were
very simple indeed, bat then what is th,

makers thread and two tin cans CONSTITUTED
the telephone and the Banner of Liberty
says it did all that was required Of it. Lib

transmitted long distance and quick too
simply by guess work. We haze no need
of a telephone here.
