GEoRGErowH, March IL, 1857.
The new process for tanning leather, recent
ly discovered and patented by our fellsw citi-
zen, Mr. 3 A Eliason, is destined, doubtless,
to bring about quite revolution in that very
important branch of business. Mr. has
thoroughly tested his improved plan, and il
very sanguine that he can by IL produce in
one half the time usually consumed by the
old process of tanning Q superior article Of
leather, and with q saving to the manufac.
turer of at lesst one dollar per side In the
weight If these be facts, and We have not
the slightest reason to doubt them, having
seen specimens Of the leather manufactured
BY it, and in an almost incredible space Of
time, and certificates from all our principal
shoe and boot manufacturers, and frem ex
tensive manufacturers in Massac usetts, whore
Mr. E sent small quantity as q sample. the
invention may certainly be olassed among the
most important Of the day. Another very i'm
