TINE AMERICAN PATENTED IMPROVEMENT
i TANNING COMPANY,of New York, own the
exclusive right in the United States for the anufac-
ture of an imperishabe ''EXTRACT" from Hemlock
Bark for tanning purposes. This Bark Extract is
now extensively used among Tanners, and the de-
mand for it rapidly increasing. 1t commands ready
sale in the Boston, New York and Philadelphia mar
kets at sixty cents per gallon. The appliances for
manufacture are simple and not expensive, costing
but little more than the ordinary teaches used byTan-
ners BY this process, two cords of Bark may be re-
duced SO as to concentrate the entire strength into
forty gallons extract without in the slightest de-
gree i1jurng its tanning qualities, and at cost not
exceeding one dollar cord. The saving in freight
alone between the transportation of the Extract and
the bark willrange from six eight dollars per cord
SO that any one who may get out but three hundred
cords Of bark per year, may save from two thousand
to twenty-five hundred dollars in the difference in
freight -
The Company does not propose to sell Territorial
rights, but will grant exclusive privilege to manufac-
ture in certain localities charging small ROYALTY per
gallon on the amount manufactured
The Company will send competent men to superin-
tend the construction of the works. where parties de-
sire to enter into the business and to instruct in the
manufacture of the Extract.
AS guarantee of success to parties entering into
this business, the Company will contract to take all
the Extract manuac under their process at fifty
cents per gallon, delivered in Boston or New York

Changed His Mind.

A gentleman passed through
Louisville few days ago, on his
way to a Northern city, to settle
UP an old ante-war debt of his fa.
theirs, and, if possible, to purchase
a new stock of goods on time.
He found the merchant indisposed,
and called upon him at his resi-
dence, and while there his atten-
ton was attracted by rather pc
culiar shaped chair, which he re-
cognized as belonging to his moth
er, and which had disappeared
from his fathers house during
Johnston's campaign in North
Georgia; a second glance discov-
ed his sisters piano, and a third
a handsomely painted oil portrait
of himself. He asked the mer-
chant how he came into posses
sion, and received answers that he
knew to be false. He then said that
his father who fell fighting for the
confederacy, ,enjoined upon him the
duty of satisfying all just claims
against bis estate, and that he had
called upon him for that purpose,
not being aware that he (the mer-
chant,) held his fathers household
furniture as collateral security for
the debt, and remarked that there
were a number of portraits and
some valuable plate taken from
his fathers house at the same time,
and enquired if he had secured
enough to satisfy his claim, when
