1t begins to look like business in and
about our new tannery. Sixty watts are in
operation and the tanned sides are coming
out at the rate of four or five hundred a
week. The new splitting machine has just
been put in 1t is curious piece of ma
chincry and requires the most exact and
skillful handling. BY its use 100 sides
day are easily made into POO. This ma
chine illustrates the inventive spirit of our
age, and the intensely practical use to
which all these inventions are put. 1t re-
quires no great stretch of the imagination to
hold the cuticle of eye fat steere" immersed

Mr. George NJ Clark, gentleman well
known through his connection with the 10th

entered the lecture field for the entertain

ing with Bailey's circus, through Indiana
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri
and on the LIST inst, at the Union Church
in Felchville, he gave his lecture on "What
know about travelling in the West" The
church was to its very fullest capacity
crowded. The lecture was repctc with
sharp hits, happy turns, droll remarks and
genuine eloquence and pathos, at times
causing the church to echo with laughter
and applause, and then holding the audi
ence spell-bound with some glowing tribute
to tho beauties of Vermont and comforts of
life here. Mr. Clark's genuine love for
Vermont scenery air, water, intelligence
and virtue, stood out prominently in every
part ofhis address, while his adjectives were
numerous in expressing his hearty dislike of
western mud, tornadoes, bed-bugs, fever
and-ague and farmers hard,hips and dis
comforts. His advice was to stay in Yer
mont. Space does not permit us to attempt
to put on paper any of the pithy sentences
with which his lecture was crowded. Frank

Club very credtably rendered some appro-
pirate and entertaining songs BeliorS
