Brmtoa,s Jhu.-Ths end wall fell out of
Brnton's Mill, at Chadds Ford last Friday.
in consequence Of the immense weight OF the
wheat which had been paced in It, instantly
killing John Daley and Yesrslsy Cooper, who
were about unloading the wheat from car
which STOOD near by. Lewis Kipe who was as
sisting them, narrowly escaped death. He
was standing at the door of the car next the
mill The falling wall drove the top OF the
car from over him, and he was felled to the
door aud covered eight or ten feet W tn wheat, |
his face was thrown toward the mill, opposite |
| an aperture In the wall of about two feet |
square through which trough was inserted |
to convey the grain to the elevators. His |
hand remained clenohed TO the handle of /
large shovel which he had been using, and /
this lodged over his body In way that pre-
vented the immense weight above from check
ing respiration. He was much bruised, but Is
now mending rapidly. II required the un-
ceasing labor of about thirty men one hour to
relieve him from Lis dreadful situation and
about one and a half additional hours to OBJ.
tain the bodies Of the deceased. The rema aims
OF Messrs. Daley aud Cooper were Inferred in
the Baptist burying ground, on Sunday, at
tended by a very large oonoourse Of relatives
and friends. They each leave young WIFE
and the last named q little son about three

The Morocco Dresssrs.-There are now over
one hundred morocco dressers out OF elm.
Ployment In this city, tn, trade is so dull
This Is owing to the use of an imitation used
by the shoemakers, which has been invented
about year. 1t 10 split COW hide, which by
process ia made TO initiate morocco. 1t looks
80 like it that it Is hard TO tell the difference
but in a few days or wesks the shoe gives
way, so that not Only are tia manufacturers OF
morocco injured by want OF trade, but the rep.
utaton OF the morocco leather itself is dam
aged by the new cheat placed upon the public
as 1t looks so like morocco that not one in ten
can tell the difference. One establishments la
this city manufactured It for about three months
and then gave II up, tive others are at present
making il. 10 judge OF the effect it has had
on the morocco business, we will give the toll
lowing One of the largest firms that manu-
iacthred from thirty to thirty Ave dozen of
skins per day, now manufacture only seven,
and have discharged thirty men. Twelve or
fourteen men have been discharged out OF au-
other establishment, being three. four tbs the
number they employed, and the other IN ,nu-
featuring establishments of morocco have dis
charged their meu, and diminished their man
ufacture in the same proportion.
