IMPORTANT DISCOVERY Edwin Daniels
resident of Waiworth county, Wis, has discov-
cred new process of tanning leather that bids
fair to supersede every known method used at
the present day. 1t is accomplished entirely
without any kind Of bark and /. simple, cheap
and effective. producing leather of a superior
quality, in very short time. The cost Of the
materials used is said to be much less than
bark, and the expense of figures not one fourth
as much; no machinery whatever being neces-
sary.
REV. +. X. AvERY,-The Lowell News says
that the Rev. Mr.. Avery, whose connection with
the murder Of Maria Cornell made such stir
years ago, is residing in Berkshire county,

the adjacent post-oifice, rarely attends public
occasions, but takes an active interest in the
prosperity @! the immediate neighborhood. He
has gained the confidence and respect of bis
townsmen.

NOW occupies the centre Of gravity, and is at pre-
sent the sun about which the universe of stars
composing our astral system all revolving
Admitting the truth Of this theory, il leads to

Ve4ls TO us the distance Of the grand centre
such is the enormous interval separating the
