CITY NOTICES.

"Thinking of shoes and leather suggests |
II us that tic time must shortly come lOr |
the use of other materials IN this manulae-
ture. What these will be, does not appear, |
but necessity is said 10 be the mother ot IN
yention, and from The consumption so much
exceeding the supply, that nececessily VIII
soon be upon us. Hides are not so much
more costly than formerly, because ireights
arc higher or the importers larger, or be
cause there is any conspiracy to delrnud
purchasers or make them go barefOoted; but
the plains of Brazil and Buenos Ayresi ana
the shores of Africa cannot furnish them for
Massachusetts tanners aud shOemakers 10
waste. They are us high abroad as at home,
and the prices will never go down to the old
figures. Only look ut the importatlons oi
| hides and leather into Massachusetts,
If the whole amount was as thoroughly
and properly tanned, as il is in Europe, and
tbe shoes were MS well made us they are in
Germany or France, the Massachusetts man
u(nclurers ulnne would shoe the whole hu
man race; hut il is considered a great object
10 get cheap shoes, and we do get them"
Only think of side of leather split 80 as
To make and sometimes 4 sides out OF one.
Is it any wonder the leather is liable 10
break? The cheap Yankee splil-lealher
shoes made in our day are mostly made OF
split-lealher and paper, and as soon as the
wet strikes them they 20 TO pieces directly.
Those who are in the habit of buying this
low nliced Yankee rash IF sh0es-who have
n half dozen children have 10 keep one ol
them all the time running tn the shoe store
for repairs, in order to keep their feet from
the ground. Owing 10 the trouble have
found in so many instances of the bought
shoes in tipping and so often turning ou'
