A NEW PROCESS OF TANNINe.--A respec.
table gentleman of Ohio few days since
described 10 us new method Of tanning
leather, for which he has taken out patent
here, and is now on his way 10 England to
obtain patent there also. As this new sys-
tenn is represented by practical men to
possess many advantages over the process at
present in use, it is worthy Of public notice.
The invention consists in peforatng the
aide or skin to be tanned. This is done
(after the skin is cleaned and ready 10 be
put in the tan oozs) with fine steel points
as, for instance, fine article of cotton card
combs, numbering from fifteen to eighteen
teeth to the inch. These combs are placed
side by side, and screwed firmly together, in
kind of iron box, with handle ON the top,
which is struck with mallet, on the grain
side of some and The flesh side Of other kinds
Of feathers, sufficiently hard to send them
through. This operation is performed when
the skin is in the aost relaxed and flexible
state, SO that the fbres yield readily to the
points, as scarcely any tracas are observable
after the leather is tanned, further than upon
the grain or epidermis.
The advantages of this over the old mode
of tanning are, that it greatly facilitates the
process, makes better leather, and saves
bark and fixtures. In this way calf skins
can be tanned in from ten to twenty days,
in cold whiteoak ooze, while by the old pro-
cess the time required does not average less
than four months. This is desideratum,
in supplying means by which the tanning
can be infused throughout the hide or skin
in the shortest possible time after it is pre-
pared and put into the ooze, a strong oblec-
ton to the old methed being that the fire.
quent tanning and re re-tanninn of 'h" two sur,
faces, in order TO tan the interior or body of
the skin, is positive injury to the leather,
as it makes it harsh and brittle, and more
liable to break. This objection is ebviated
by the new process, which exposes a much
larger surface TO the immediate action of the
tanning, which is absorbed so readily that the
ooze must necessarily be renewed or streng-
thened more frequently, whereby it never
becomes sour. AS respects the saving in
fixtures, it is stated that as much leather can
be tanned in five watts by this process as can
be tanned in fifteen under the old system

ANCIENT MoNsTERs.-The researches of
geologists have shown that, at one period OF
the earth's history, its vegetation consisted
only of immense ferns, amid which dwelt
gigantic animals Of the lizard species, hun
dred feet in length. Among these the
most remarkable were the iguanadon and
plesiosaurus. The bones of these monsters
have been found undecayed, and science
has adjusted them together as they were in
life. Another hideous inhabitant Of that
primeval age was the zuzglocon, an amphi-
bious creature, half alligator and half whale.
A petrifed vertebra of this animal is now ex-
hibiting in Albany 1t was discovered en-
bedded in chalk formation on the banks of
the Alabama river, and was boxed up and
sent to Professor Emmons, of that city. The
vertebra, extending from a portion of the
head to the tip Of the tail, is eighty feet in
length as it lies upon the floor. The crea-
ture must have been, in life, from ninety to
one hundred feet long.

The WASTED FLowERs.-On the velvet
margin of rvulet sat rosy child. Her
lap was filled with flowers, and garland of
rosebuds was twned around her neck. Her
face was radiant as the sunshine that fell
upon it, and her voice was clear as the bird
which warbled at her side.
The little stream went singing OH, and
with every gush of its music the child lifted
flower in its dimpled hand, and with a
merry laugh threw it upon its surface. In
her glee she forgot that her treasures were
growing less, and with the swift motion o.
childhood, she flung them to the sparkling
tide until every bud and blossom had disap
peared. Then seeing her loss she sprang te
her feet, and bursting into tears called
aloud to the stream-"Brng me back my
howers!" But the stream danced along, re-
gardess of her tears; and as it bore the
blooming burden away, her words came back
in taunting echo, along its margin. And
long after, amid the wailing of the breezes
and the bursts of childish grief, was heard
the frutless cry" Bring me back my
fowersw
Merry maiden, who art idly wasting the
precious moments so bountifully bestowed
upon thec-see in the thoughtless, impul
sive child, an emblem of thyself Each mo
ment is a perfumed flower. Let its fra.
GRANGE be dispensed in blessings on all
around thee, and ascend as sweet incense. to
its benifcent Giver.
Else, when thou hast carelessly flung
them from thee, and seest them receding OF
the swift waters of time, thou wilt cry, will
the weeping child-"Bring me back my
howers!" And the only answer will be al
echo from the past" Bring me back m.
howers!'

MECHANICS AMONG THE ANcIENTs.-The
foreign correspondent of the Savannah Re-
publican, gives the following interesting in
formation concerning the means used at
Pompe for supplying that ill-fated city with
water:-" The town of Pompeii was sup
piled with water by means of pipes Of iron,
lead, and Of baked clay. The Museum con-
tains bronze cock of large size which has
two communicating pipes. The FLASHING Of
water, which has been so long hermetically
sealed there, can now be heard in it. 1t is
proved, both by the fountains and frssco
painting, that the Pompeians were acquaint-
ed with that law of water which causes the
fluid flowing in pipe to ascend to the level
of its source. 1t has always been gravely
assumed that this property was not known
to them, Or it is presumed, they would not
have carried their aqueducts over such stu
pendous arches of masonry. Perhaps in
some of these cases there may have been
labour lost, but they must have known wei
the utter impossibility of making masonry te
resist the hydrostatic pressure where there
was great head of water. Perhaps at som'
remote period, it may be assumed that th'
Americans were unacquainted with that pro
perty of fluids, or they would not have mad
the Croton Aqueduct to pierce mountain
and cross valleys on arches as it does.

EARLY MARR1AGEs.-Th senior editor OF
the Savannah Republican, writing from
Smyrna, says:
III think it will surprise some persons to
know that girls are actually sometimes mar
ried here (not to say betrothed) when they
are children--that is, ten and halt and
eleven years of age. They attain to
womanhood very early, owing, perhaps, as
much to the use of the bath as to the eli
mate. A consequence of this is, however,
that women here are regarded as ola at the
age of 80 or 35. The population here, too,
seems to increase abundantly. state what
is fact when l say that there is lady in
SMYRNA, who is still remarkable we'll looking,
who has had eighteen children, and whose
grand mother had thirty-three! What eli
mate and what productions?'

KAL1DA PUTNAM COUNTY OHIO, FRIDAY, JUNE 6, ls4s.

SHoEMAKING !-Professor Ingraham thus
graphically describes the town of Lynn, Mas
sachusetts, the shoemakers and the vast cord
wainery of the whole Union:
"The very pleasant and thriving town
of Lynn, is the Paradise of Shoemakers!
Its young men, early transferred from the
cradle 10 the last, cut teeth and leather at
the same time, and its pretty maidens learn
TO bind shoes with the induction of their a, b.,
abs. Lovers exchange hearts over a bind
slipper, and swear eternal fidelity over a lap
stone. If they would get married, they ask
old Dr. Waxened, the parson, if he will stitch
them together, and they will pay him in
hides and shoemending. Whipping their
children is called tanning, and the rod they
use is con hide. The little boys swear by
"hides and leather" and play at games which
they call high and low quarter and toe."
A child newly born is lap stone, and the
ages of their children are known by the
number of shoes they wear. Boys are called
rights and girls lefis-an old maid is an
old slipper, and bachelor an odd boot
The street doors to their dwellings are " in
steps," and man in an overcoat is " foxed."
The fields about the town are patches, and
fellow half seas over is half soled. They
never see an oak tree but they directly cal
culate the number of pegs it will make, and
when they behold bees at work they reflect
that the only end of wax is waxed end.
They look OH cattle and sheep as only lea
ther growing and believe hogs were only
made TO produce brisles. Its lapstones
would pave Broadway, and lasts, if piled to-
geiher, would make monument higher
than that on Bunker's HILL"

VESPER CHANT


OF THE OREGON EMIGRANTs.
BY GEORGE W. JONES.
Wen joyfiuy follow the wahning of day
Ard lightly wen tread o'er the leafy spread glade,
For westward is Freedom extending her sway
With broad reaching mantle her children to sead
Around, the pine trees rear their crest
An emblem OF the freeman's might;
And meath the swinging vines we rest
Soothed by the voices Of the night
This glorious landscape who can scan,
Nor feel his powers and hopes heat high?
Our brows the frarie breezes fan,
Sweet ladened with each blossoms sigh.
Our wives and children gently rest
Watched by the pale and gentle stars;
The Oriole swings upon her nest,
Lued by the singing blackbird's bars:
The twilight stealing DER the plain
Scarce screens the lk.deer roaming free;
Like them we'll know not mental pain,
Harsh social want, or misery.
Then who would change the settlers life,
Its manly toll, ennobling scenes
For city's pomp or sordd strife,
Where happiness man seldom CLEANS!

ANEEDorE.--We heard story, some time
age, of joe, which will bear repeating.
Joe was one evening seated in the bar
room of country tavern in Canada, where
were assembled several old countrymsn dis
cussing various matters connected with the
" pomp and circumstances Of war;" In the
course of some remarks, one of them stated
that the British Government possessed the
largest cannon in the world, and gave the
dimensions Of one which he had seen. Joss
yankee pride would not allow him to let
such an assertion pass without contradiction
"Poh! gentlemen," said he, /" wont de-
ny but that is fair sized cannon, but you
are little mistaken in supposng it TO be the
largest in the world. It's not to be named
in the same minute with one Of our yankee
guns which saw in Charleston last year.--
Jupiter! that pas cannon. Why, slrs, It s
50 internally large, that the soldiers were
obliged of employ yoke Of oxen to draw
in the ball"
- The devil they wsre!" exclaimed one
of his hearers, with smile of triumph;

oxen out again? why YOU fool" returned
