NEw-HAvEN, Oct. 23.-Hardly anything could
better have illustrated soundness OF the position
recently taken by THE TRIBUNE, to the effect that the
great educators of the country should contribute the
fruits OF their researches toward the welfare OF the

Several gentlemen Of this place have organ
lied a joint-stock company for the curing and
tanning Of buffalo hides by some new patent
process. The robes tur ned of are said TO rival
in soitness Of finish and texture Che famous
Cheyenne robes. Some dozen men are en-
ployed at the new enterprise, which promises
TO become one Of importance TO our city.
Thousands upon thousands of uudresscd but
falo hides, which were prime in all respects,
were hauled IN here from the range last winter
and sold at a nominal sum TO shippers. The
dressing of these would not only give employ
ment to a number of men, but the increased
value given the commodity would have and
will swell the trade large proportions, we
have no doubt. or this new interest we will
speak at greater length when we learn and
know more.

Under recent rulings of the dcpa.imen Of
the interior large number of homestead ei,-
tries have been cancelled where the lands lie
within railroad limits. The entries made were
in strict conformity TO previous and existing
rulings but after these settlers have went on
In good faith and made their entries, made
honest and valuable Improvements. Now
through some hook or crook comes adverse
rulings that renders large area OF homestead
land in this state which had already been en-
tered, subject 10 cancellation. Ii is 4 shame.
II would appear. and we can see 1t in no ether
light, that the railroad monopolics have their
clutch upon the throat and conscience of the
department at Washington. A communica-
tion from the Commonwealth. touching upon
this subject, will be found elsewhere, which
our readers up the country would do well 10
