GUTHRIE GETS THERE.
The Telephone That Will Revolu-
tionize the World.
Fame and Fortune waiting for a Lees.
burg Inventor.

Mr.. j. I. Guthrie has spent six or eight
years OF unceasing toll on this wonderful
Invention, and has at last succeeded in OBJ
tanning patent on transmitter and receiver
as well, and is now prepared TO place before
the American people for their inspection one
OF the most useful inventions ever conceiv-
| ed by man. As stated in q former com mu.
nicatton, Mr.. Guthrie tested 1t on u three.
mile line, and the ticking OF a watch could
plainly be heard. But this is not oil. 1t has
also been tested on q thousand mile relay,
and communication can be carried on at
that distance as distinctly rs though talking
face to face. This telephone will operate as
successfully for thousands OF m lies as 1t will
for distance Of one mile. 1t is operated by
direct current of electricity, and not by in.
Quoted currents, as are others, and o induc-
ton coils are needed. The articulation of
speech Is made by a natural and mechanical
disturbance Of the current at the positive
and negative polls, which are brought near
to or in contact with the diaphragm. One
pole is made of q close and contract natural
production OF the earth, and Is good con.
ductor; the other pole is OF an open and
porous nature, and not good conductor
Consequently, the natural and unnatural
poles make natural disturbance, making
1t the most sensitive transmitter possible.
The transmissi is made by the disturbance
Of the electrical current at The poles by open.
ing and closing the circuit (as is the case in
telegraphy). which Is done by his syste.i by
simply speaking against the dap lragm,
which causes the current to open at every
sound uttered against 1t. This is som thing
never before accomplished by the telephone
fraternity. Prof. Bell, of the Bell Telephone
Company. has offered 81 100000 to anyone
who would produce q telephone successfully
operated without the use of induction coil.
and we are ready TO say that Mr.. Guthrie can
rightfully claim the money. This telephone
Is destined to take the lead Of all others in
the near future, and we predict for MI. Guth.
rie an immense fortune out OF this his most
useful invention M. Guthrie is daily in
receipt of letters from all parts of the United
States from parties wishing to purchase the
entire patent, but he knows when he has a
good thing, and Is In no hurry to sell. The
rent Of his Instruments will be about two
dollars per month, and we are glad to know
that the great telephone monopoly of the
present day is broken at last.

set up three defenses the first, that suit

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A Gard from Professors Doggett and
Smith,

The statements in last weeks Gazette in
regard to our Schools are 30 plainly the ema.
nations of malice that they deserve no
notice. We believe that the graduate of the
Schools. the present members of the Board,
and all ex.members, the pupils of the
Schools, and the great majority OF the
parents, know the charges to be unjust and
untrue. The writers have doubtless never
visited the schools and know nothing of
their work, and in their haste to crafty
private spite have made statements which
IL this community can injurs none 80 much
as themselves.
Al one evidence OF the popularity OF our
Schools, We may mention the fact that in
our High School are sixty .one young men
and ladies. Twenty-Five OF these are non.
resident pupils from this and adjoining
counties. while as many more applied for
places but could not be accommodated. This
large High School 10 taught by us and We
venture the assertion that there IL not
another High School In the State of sixty
pupils taught by two teachers. A. to how
we'll our work 10 done, We refer TO the pupils
OF the School, many Of whom are teachers.

GREENFIELD FIRE.
Eight Thousand Dollars Worth Of Prop
erty Destroyed.
NEws.HERALD Special.

GREENFIELD, April 1lth.
AT about O'Clock this morning fire was
discovered in the Dunlap building on the
north west corner Of Church and Washington
streets, and having gained full headway
completely destroyed the property. g. W.
Aliens large stock of boots and shoes and
the outfit of 8. r. Castleman's photograph
gallery, located upstairs, were destroyed.
The libraries. fixtures, furnishings, etc., in
the law offices Of William Hughey and Allen
Caldwell and in DR.. NJ. Dunlap's office were
also lost. Esquire Hughey' g law library was
especially large and valuable and many
notes, mortgages and other papers were con.
sumed. The losses, all told, as calcu lated by
parties who should know, amount to about
5000. The structure was q frame of light
pine and burned like paper. By six O'Clock
nothing was left Of the building and its con.
tents save glowing heap of ashes. The
heaviest loss is upon Mr.. y. W. Allen, who
had just got In large stock Of new goods.
The insurance policies in the hands of the
several occupants cover about one.half the
total loss The IRE company did good work
In checking the flames, and through their
efforts the residences Of Dr.. W. H. Wilson
and William Adams and the building of Mr..
Heniy Free, on the opposite side of the
street, were saved. though all three of them
were more or less acorched. The heat was so
Intense a. TO crack the plate glass windows
In T. M. Elliotts building across the street.
When first discovered the fire was in the
north room, occupied by Messrs. Caldwell &
Hughsy, but before suficient force could be
collected to do elective work, the flames had
spread all over the building. Some suppose
the conhagration to have been the work of
an incendtary, while others hold that the
hre might have been smoulderlng all night,
and burst out at last with irresistible force
Only few articles OF trifiing value were
saved.
