claims will revolutionize the business.
The material he uses ia dye from forest
leaves. He has been experimenting with
leaves for the past two months, and the
result is entirely satisfactory. One ton
of leaves will tan as much leather as five
corys of hemlock bark, and will do the
work in one-half the time. By mixing
the leaves aud bark in equal proportions,
one-fourth of the time is saved. The
leather tanned by this process is smoother,
more flexible, and yet retains the strength
of the raw hide in greater degree than
that tanned by bark. Mr.. Bugbee exhib-
tied some specimens at the Vermont State
Fair, which were awarded the first prem
ium after being subjected to the severest
tests.
The passenger and freight depots at
Royalton have recently been repaired and

Edward o. Richmond, son of Barzil-

Sturgeon Bay, Wis, during the recent

SINGULAR PHENOMENA OF THE For.
EST FIREs.-The Green Bay, Wis, Ad00-
cate says that cooler-headed survivors of
the great fires at Peshtigo and other
points agree in the statement that the
fire did not come upon them generally
from burning trees and other objects to
the wiudward, but the first notice they
had of i was whirlwind of fame, in
great clouds from above TIE tops of the
trees, which fell upon aud enveloped
everything. The atmosphere seemed one
of fire. The poor people inhaled it or in
rensely hot air, and fell down dead. This
j. vnr'f4d by the appearance of many OF
the corpses. They were found dead in
the roads and open spaces where there
were no visible marks or fire near by, with
not trace of burning upon their bodies
or clothing. A. Sugar Bu-h, which is
clearing four miles wide at some points,
c@rps-s were found in the open road, be-
tween fences which were only slightly
burned. No mark of fire was upon them.
hut they Ibid there as if asleep. This
seems to explain why SO many were kill
I'd in compact masses. Fences and clear
ID fields were burned in spots and else
where not touched. Fish were killed in
the streams.

business in, and Vermonters are not to be
sold with impuuity.
Since we bid farewell to John Fl. Pred
more, in the above article. we have ascer-
tanned some new facts in his history. We
stated that while at Schenectady he had
clerk, and it is now alleged, and seems
more than probable, if not an established
fact, that he was none other than our de-
parted friend Fitch.
Their business does not appear to have
proved such perfect financial success at
Schenectady as it now seems to have done
in Rutland. They unfortunately, for
them, that is for the then principal, bought
some shingles, and possibly other stock, OF
some Vermonters. The shingles, etc,
we're quickly sold, proceeds pocketed,
Predmore & Co. off, and Vermonters ap-
parently out. They did not propose to
remain SO. As they could not find their
property, they found the next best thing,
which was John IT. Predmore and his
clerk. And it Is reported that Predmore
and clerk made little speech which COM
menced with mot" and closed with ''guil-
ty." The result of which was that they
found themselves in new, but small and
appropriate, Office, where they remained
until third person appeared on the scene
Of action and paid the Vermonters' bile,
leaving Fitch ready to commence business
in Rutland, and Predmore to hire out as
his clerk.
OF course Fitch borrowed money Of
Predmore and wouldn't pay bis wages,
and Predmore had to start in his search
after shingles without an overcoat.

A VERMONTER SEEING THE SIGHTS
The jury in one of the Boston Courts, on
Monday, had the case of Bartlett Bran
non, who was charged with helping to
rob a tall Vermonter named James J.
Davis on the evening of the 3 of October
d avis arrived in Boston that evening
from his native hillsides, aud having the
rheumatism so bad that he was compelled
to walk rouod, fell in with Brannon,
with whom be seems to have made him
self very familiar, and the two wandered
around Merrimac street and Haymarket
square, drinking rum, treating girls and
doing other things not authorized by the
strict rule of Vermont propriety. Finally.
according to Davis, Braunou was joined
by two other "fakers," who played upon
him tho little game called garote. not only
relieving him of $62, but nearly breaking
hia neck. The other fellows made off
with the spois, while Brannon remained
there aTd tried to cheek the oountryman
into the belief that he (Brannon) had
nothing to do with the robbery. The
css is unfinished.
