The anvil upon which Robert CuyCr worked
in llkley England, from his boyhoOd until he
came 10 this country, was within q few wears
brought from England and placed in the Unity
church, Chicago by the side of his study table.
At his request il was dug out of the ruins of
Unity church and by him presented to W II.
Baldwin when recently in Chicago. The anvil
has inst reached Boston and will be mounted
and placed in the rooms Of the young mems

an opportunity to see the first study table

OF which have proved to be lies, the cITcum-
stance that he has before attempted rape, and
the fact that he is known TO have worn dark
clothes on the night of the murder of Kate Lee
han, though when he was arrested ten days ai-
terward with 4 complete change of wearing APP
parel, 20 far to strengthen the suspicious against
him. His refusal to account for the missing
suit also bears hard upon him, and there are
strong hopes that if he is the guilty party, he
will eventually convict himself
The Shoe aud Leather Record SAYS: 1--WE
find now that there is a general complaint both
among sole and upper leather tanners as to the
uni3Orablc condition Of the market and I'M
satisfactory prices, and we hear that in some
quarters it is considered that our present pre-
ducton Of leather is too large If this be the
tact, we feel that we are only expressing the
Judgment of the most experienced members of
the trade in saying that the tanners have only
themselves TO blame, The quantity should per
haps be diminished, and the quality improved.
Notwithstanding the fact that we have had dur
ing the last fall an unparalleled foreign demand
for American leather, the markets here appear
10 be abundauty supplied, but leather of the
choicest Iannagcs and best finish never waits
long for purchaser"

the Canadian steamers now making Portland
their winter port VIII sail from Boston. The
transfer would iuiure much these two ancient
sea ports, for to Saiem this coal trade is almost
the only navigation left and TO Portland the
canadian steamers are impOrtant. But the coal
SchoOners can get c0uyenIences AT Boston which
they cannot at Salem, and the Portland steamers
get hardly any inward or outward freight, save
from Canada. These steamers sailing from
Boston could get entiTe cargOes for Liverpool
even If they did not get package of goods FROM
Montreal or Qacbec; and could be loaded out
with grain, -four, cotton and provisions even
without. a single ton of goods from Canada
