THE BIG TANNERY.-We lately paid
visit TO the extensive tanning establish
ment of Messrs. SpanOgle & Co., which is
now rapidly approaching completion
This is one of the largest (if not the larg-
est brick steam tannery in Pennsylvania,
the whole building being under a slate
roof The main building is 231 feet in
length by 45 wide, with wing 1876 long.
The bark shed is 1S0 feet long by 35 wide,
and is reached by railroad siding of l 900
leeches and pools, with all necessary
requisites for running water, liquor, &c.
The drying and other rooms are to be
heated by means of steam pipes. The
engine, which was built by Reese, Slagle
& Foust, of this place, is p horse power,
and was set in motion on Monday last,
snd found to be an excellent piece of
workmanship, complete in all its parts.
Among other features in the building is
an Archimedian screw, which performs
the work of carrying water up hill.
THE GARDEN.-Now and then pleas
ant sunny day in late Autumn breaks in
upon us. as if to admonish us not to leave
many such go by without performing the
numerous outdoor fall labOrs. They cam
not be better employed than by clearing
the yard and garden of whatever rubbish
may have accumulated in the summer
months. There are tomato vines, stumps
Of cabbage, some late weeds and other
useless plants, all of which should be cast
out, root and branch. 1t will not be re-
gretted when Spring opens to find your
garden clean and nviting-ready for spade
and rake.
LEG BRoKEN.-Mr. Conrad Ulrich, SEN,
had his leg broken on Friday week. TT
appears he was on top of a load of straw,
which was being hauled from the Shen-
fielder farm, behind the ridge, to town,
and, on the way, the wagon leaned to one
side causing him to fall off, and by strik-
Ing a stone his leg was broken. DIR. t.
