was carried oRuntil business required the
use Of the line, and then the instruments
were taken of. II -2.u
Later in the afternoon the wire o-Peters-

was carried on with Mr. Burroughs in that
CITY By persons in he Dispatch Office,
Western Union Telegraph office, Ford's
Hotel, Southern Express Office, A. G. Bah
cocks, Richmond and Petersburg depot,
Commercial Club, Manchester, and else
where. The conversation was in an ordinary
tone. and lbc words were rs distinct as one
could we'll expect. ~-~-~
Several months ago ii will be remembered
that tIessrs. Hates and Paynter, Of the Au-
tomato Signal Telegraph Company, invited
few friends to their office to try the tele-
phone with Norfolk. At that time there
was regular musical SoiTEe between, the
two cities, and although the music could be
heard distinctly, it was more difficult to
hear persons talking. Since then, however,
the instruments have been so improved that
a conversation with Norfolk can now be
. btaru quite rs readily rs between two points
I In Richmond over the line. THIS week Mr.
Hates will try II talk with Norfolk, where
1s proposes to send number Of instru
