Just thirteen years and four weeks age
to-day, it being in the 4th year of the
reign Of Gen. Pierce, we struck, for the
first time, the shore, at McGregor's Land.
ing. 1t being the self'same day. upon
which the initial number Of the NoRrn
Iowa TINES was laid upon the table of the
settlers. At that time, the little Tip.a-ca-
noe, according to the version of Allen E.
Warzer, Esq.,) in its irristible course
towards the Father of all creeks, crossed
Main street, las it now ISL very near the
present residence of Michael Matthews,
Esq, meandering itself across Hayt &
Burdick's lumber yard, through the
Congregational Church lot, and Esquire
ArnoIds door yard, in the form Of badly
bent ox.bow and again crossing Main
street near the present Mammouth Furni'
ture store of Messrs. Walter & Brother,
thus rendering it extremely crooked at
this point, our otherwise straight and
beautiful Main street, or involving the
building of two bridges very close toseth-
err.
Four weeks from the day aforesaid, or
thirteen years ago to-day, old Buck and
Brock, by the sulfrayss Of a free and
happy people, were respectively elevated
to the Offices Of President and Vice Presi-
dent 0f the Usited States. AZ Che same
election, {if the people have kept the
records true) the sovereigns'.of Road
District No. 2, in the Township of Mea>
don,, made choice of Hon. Geo. L. Bass
for the responsible position Of Road
Supervisor.
George, with his accustomed alacrity,
entered promptly upon his duties, resolved
to early popularize his administration, by
straishtning the little Tip, within the
corporate limits. Hence, one November
morning early, while old Sol was yet be-
hind the Wisconsin Bluffs, old Duke and
Dime were respectfully requested to "come
UNDER" and being attached to regular
Galena Plow, which being set in at the
first mentioned point, single straight
furrow was cut to the next mentioned
place, thus initiating new water course.
Time rolled on, and the turbulent waters
of the little Tip, rolled towards the
Mississippi. In due course of time, the
single furrow became a raging yawning
canal, sometimes sweeping destruction
and death before it, and always battling
the wisdom Of successive municipal! ai-
ministrations, until finally superseded by
the big sewer in the alley. During all
these years, many hearts, both young and
old, have been smashed, and many, many
bitter tears have flown. But-nary time
has the eye of the incouragable George
been known to moisten until very recent
ly, when on his daily round of freight
collections, he came upon the impressable
Sam DeHaven with his crew of excavaters
and filters, literally burying the old land

Russia Leather.

The article known rs Russia leather is
a superior substance, made from the Sc
Iected hides of young cattle, and tanned
by a peculiar process employed in that
country. Russia leather is Ofthree kinds
red, white and black. The former is
thefinest grained, and is extensively used
in the manufacture of pOeket-bOOks, Ia
dies handbags, ohildren's s belts, dressing
eases. satOhels, needle cases, jewel boxes,
and many other beautiful and expensive
articles. The black leather is also very
soft and pliable, and is manutacturedin-
to boots and shoes, which are worn by
the inhabitants of the empire and the
citizens of the surrounding nations, and
particularly by the Germans. The white
variety is scarce, and is less sought after
than the other descriptions of this COM
modify.
Genuine Russia leather is very fra
grant, and partakes of the OdOr of the
birch bark, which is used in the process
of tanning. 1t is soft, has delicate fl
Der, and is known by its fresh and rich
color. The best leather is of uniform size
and quality, free from holes or raw edges,
feels very elastic, Is we'll stretched, and
of equal thickness, and is distinguished
by being of bright red color. The Rus
slams also tan a very excellent morocco,
which undergOes the same treatment Rs
the more serviceable leather This mo-
rocco is used by bOOk-bindeTs to bind rare
and valuable books; it is less liable to
mould, and its peculiar OdOralsO keepsit
from the ravages of those insects which
so frequently destroy the bindings of
books made of other leather.
The manufactured articles made from
red leather are largely exported, and
find ready sales in most civilized COUn-
tries. The leather, before being thus
manufactured, is also shipped in cOnsid-
cradle quantities to Great Britain, Italy,
France, Germany, and the United States.
Repeated efforts have been Wade by
tanners in other countries to make leath-
er in all respects corresponding to that
in Russia. limo instance
has the production come up to the stand
ard of the foreign article, and itissuppOs-
ed that the hepeculiarproperties Ofthe birch
bark grown in that country has material
effect to render the genuine article sup
periOr, both in quality and fragrance, to
the best made imitation.
Genuine Russia leather is expensive,
and on this account is never used i'm the
manufacture Of cheap goods,
