THOSE MEXICAN TENTs'-lt is true,
it seems, that one thousand tents for
the Mexican Government were man
uf,ctnred in Boston and shipped to
Havana. They were paid for by a
DRAFT, on Barring s Brother. The Uni
ted States have inquired into the mat
ter, and found that the tents we're real
liz made in Boston for the Mexican
1arket. and were represented IN the
clear ance as 100 bales Of manufactured

EXTRAORDINARY ARREsT.-The Gin

preachers, named Coffee and White.
who have been arrested at Mount
Sterling, Ky. on the charge of steal.
ing and counterfciting. They were
preaching at the time they were ar
rested, and some of the stolen goods
were recognized as forming part Of tho
dress of Coffee's daughter, who was
present. Coffee was required to give
bail in $500 to answer at Court. Sui.
sequently he was required to add
$1,000 bail making in all 1900, dis
closure having been made implicatinc
him deeply with set of villains who
infcst that country, and live in caves.
&c. SO numerous in these parts. On
the day following the arrest of Coffee.
the Rev. Mr.. White was taken from
the pulpit at the same place, charged
with being particeps criminis. A..
large amount ofcounterfcit money was
found upon him. All this seems very
improbable.

Most people know that skins and hides are convert

covered with crust, &c. THIS KNOW. To re-
store them life softness moistness strength smooth
ness, and all crust, fly or blster-restore the
tannn. This substance the leather can receive
the second time but the whole virtues of it are in
this article, the OIL OF TANNIN-which pene-
traes the stfest and hardest leather if it has been
twenty years in use and if it tears easily with the
fingers, it imparts at strength that is utterly
incredible until seen. 1t becomes like new leather,
in all respects, with delightful softness and polish
and makes all leather completely and perfectly i'm
pervous to INDEPENDENTLY boots shoes, carri-
agetops harness, hose, trunks and in fact all things
made of leather, giving splendid polish, high
er than new leather has, and at least doubling its
and durability, in whatever manner the leather
is used. THESE ARE FACTS.
Those who will may wear old shoes, groan with
corns ride with old carriage-tops-have old harness.
and throw them away half used-look filthy them

necessary for articles of leather to thoir hearts
