TELEPHONING.

A musicial telephonic exhibition was given in Baltimore on Monday evening last. The musicians were in New York ond Philadelphia—the audience in Balti- more. As the sounds transmitted from New York had to pass under three rivers, ubey were less distinct than those from Philadelphia, The first piece transmitted was a cornet solo, by Professor Luster, of New York, and as the sounds broke on the ears of the large audience there was great applause. J. W. “McAnerny followed with a tenor solo from ‘* Martha’’ and was succeeded by Mme. Belle Cole, of New York, who sang several soprano solos, which were quite distinctly heard.

To the Editor of the Daily Examiner :

Dear Sir,—Although a good many street crossings have been laid the past year, yet they seem to be now vtterly neglected— no attempt being made to clear the ever- accumulating mud from them ; and the citizens find that in many ipstances the crossings are as ‘‘deep in the mud” as the istreets are “in the mire.” It is surely somebody’s business to see that the cross ings are kept clear of mud as far as pos. sible.

SvocessFuL Enter rise. —Messrs. Forrest & Co., the enterprising proprietors of the Lobster Factory at Saint Andrew's Point, have just terminated a remarkably success. ful enterprise for this season. On Satur- day last they decided to shut down until aext spring. It is their intention to con. duct this business on a far more extensive scale at that time, and in view of this have ieased the fishing stand formerly owned by Mr. [, C. Hall, at Annandale. In a short time preparations will be made for the manufacture of lobster cans, for next sum- mers use. They also intend enlarging their premises at St. Andrew's Point, end will recommence with largely increased facilities, as weli as affording remunerative employment to a far larger number of men ani women. These gentlemen deserve the best wishes of the working people of this community for their enterprise, as they opened up paying situations for a number of people who otherwise would have been idle the greater part of the time. We should hail the coming of such men in the community, or any community, for their usefulness is not confined to any particular class. The past season's transactions have given abundant proof, if proof were neces « sary, of the importance of astive and in- telligent business men locating themselves in our midst. Since they commenced operations last spring they have preserved and shipped 197,000 cans of Lobsters, and considering the fact that so larga a quanti- ty have been taken at the commencement, we look forward t> a great increase in the

bers passed out to the upper floor and took their seats. Ludlow Hal! never held an audience before so full of enthusiasm. There were fully 1000 present. After all had been seated the business of the meeting commenced with a song from Regan, of Charlottetown, entitled the ‘‘ Badge of Heaven’s Blue,’’ followed by short addresses from Messrs. Sims, McDougall, Chappelle and FitzGerald, of the City Reform Club. Then followed anotber song from Mr Regan, and speeches from Megsrs. A. P. Mills, Mutch McKenzie, Hunt and Brennan. * Pull for the Shore’’ was sung by the choir, assisted by the audience, after which John R. Calhoun, Esq., and Rev. Neil McKay were called on and made excellent speoches, promising their support to the cause. The meeting was brought to a close by the audience singing the Na- tional Anthem and the Benediction, pro- nounced by the Rev. Neil McKay. The best of order prevailed throughout, and ‘he different speakers were applauded ina hearty manner’ The Reform Club here now numbers over 400 members—some of the hard drinkers. The whole thing was a grand success, and the liquor-dealers look bluer than the ribbon of the Reformers. Another meeting will be held to.night.

Norma Scaoot Desatino Ctus.—A De- bating Club has been established at the Norma! Sehool. It is, we are pleased to learn, well patronized by the senior stud- ents of the sterner sex. The meetings ire held every Friday afternoon at four o'clock. Strangers are not admitted to the discussions. The foilowing resolution passed at a meeting held yesterday after- noon :—
