SHOE MAKGNG.-Thc demand for cheap
shoes has been so pressing Of late years, says
the Lynn Reporter, thatit is has induced the
most rigid economy in the manufacture. Hard
ly scrap of leather is allowed to go to waste.
The wagon loads of odds and ends made in
cutting, the refuse OF the splitting machines,
are all worked up again into that kind Of leat h-
er known as "pancake.' This Is made by
pasting and pressing together the scraps of
which we have spoken. This being rolled and
dried is made to do service 10 the cheaper
grades of Shoes as inner sole leather, or as
lifts" for heels So skilltully are the opera
tions performed that sometimes the substitute
is, for some purposes, almost as good as the
genuine article. Some firms do large bust
ness in tie manufacture of g pancake which
is ccomrlished by powerful machinery driven
by steam.
THE INSPECTOR OF OYSTERS, for this State,
few days ago, in his steam tug; called in at
the Pocosin river, and made visit up Back
creek, beautiful arm of the river, whose banks
are dotted with the white cottages of the oys-
termen. Here he found a nest oil some ten or
dozen men who had refused to take out IL
cense to oyster. These men, for what purpose
is not known, made their appearance in the
creek in some nine canoes 80 soon as they
hove in sight chase was made by the steamer,
which soon overhauled them, captured men
and boats, brought the men on board and took
the boats in tow. At first strong disposition
was manifested to resist the Inspector by force
of arms but bold front, and an assurance
that they and their boats would be taken to
Norfolk If they did not pay up, settled matters
The money was paid. and the Inspector return
ed to Norfolk Saturday afternoon all right.
