Brief Telegraphic Notes.
A TELEGRAPH line is being constructed along the St. Joseph, Missouri, and Council Bluffs, Iowa, railroad. The line of Telegraph on the Albany and Susquehanna railroad was completed to Binghamton, N.Y., Nov. 27, and that city put in connection with Albany.
The Boston Journal says: "The fire alarm boxes erected in the Roxbury district have been connected with head-quarters. There are twenty-five boxes in this district."
Telegraphic despatches from the United States to Great Britain have heretofore been communicated to English readers on what is called a system of retardation, or the least possible new sat the last possible moment. There-turns of the Presidential election of November 3, however, were furnished in the London papers of November 4, in the form of an intelligible summary, and Englishmen are congratulating themselves that this unanticipated promptitude may be the sign of a more energetic style of managing the transmission of news.
New lines have just been completed by the Western Union Company between Altoona and Pittsburg, Pa., via the Pennsylvania Central and West Pennsylvania railroad. The never failing BROOKS insulators are used, and the line is said to work admirably. Notwithstanding official prejudice the BROOKS insulator is bound to work its way; even on to the Western Union lines.
