The Failures of Six Months

The report of mercantile failures by
Messrs. Dun, Barlow q Co., for the six
months ending on the 30th of June last,
is out. The number of failures for the
six months is 1000, against 1868 for the
corresponding six months of last year,
and the amount of these failures is $685.
100000, against s70,000,0 900 for the cor
responding six months a year ago. 1t
is noticeable, however, that the greater
number of failures occurred in the first
quarter, and that the last three months,
although showing much larger num-
Der and amount than the corresponding
three months of the previous year, ex-
hibit decided reduction as compared
with the first three months of this year
This will be welcomed as at least slight
indication that we have touched bottom.

A sharp debate has sprung up in the
House during the past few days on the
South Carolina massacre. 1t was on the
bill to protect the Texas frontier, to
which Mr.. Smalls, colored, of S. c.,
moved an amendment that no U. S.
troops shall be withdrawn from his state,
and it is quite significant that few
northern democrats, including Tarbox
of Massachusetts,, voted for it. The de-
bate has brought out quite fully the facts
of the massacre and reminds one of the
old days of slavery.

that the South Carolina massacre was an
outrage and murder, with no color Of

faces by defending, apologizing or deny
ing the wholly unprovoked assassination.

in Louisiana for being republicans, and
her death is directly traceable to the
terrible shock to her system occasioned
by the recent attack on her brother. She
had never recovered from the murder of
her husband, two years ago or more,
and this last shock was fatal blow to
her already shattered system. Senator
Twitcbell (whose arms, it will be remem-

only survivor of his family, who went
to Louisiana after the war, including

Mt. Washington Railway-Mt. Washing
ton-The Notch--Crawiord House, &c.
Arriving at st. Johnsbury, late We'd
nesday afternoon, many of the party
were at once taken in carriages TO the
scale works, and though but half hour
remained before the closing Of the shops,
enough was seen to give some idea OF the
scale on which these great works are con-
Quoted. Here some 500 to 600 work
men are constantly employed, and with
those in the houses in the various larger
cities of the country make force of
some one thousand men employed by
this establishment whose head is at St
Johnsbury. The business of this con
Germ has not been interrupted by the
hard times. The scales made are from
the most delicate feathers weight up to
many tons. We believe some of them
will show the weight of less than the
1000th part Of an ounce. We dare not
undertake to tell how small since this
will be quite sufficient for all practical
purposes. The workmen are notably
an intelligent class of persons, and were
promptly ready to explain Interpretations
of the machinery, some of which is very
curious and the invention of the owners
of the works. The Messrs. Fairbanks are
themselves practical workmen or have
been, and this with their characteristic
enterprise, and the solid excellence of
their work, is no doubt what has made
this enterprise such marvel of success,
1t is said that Col. Franklin Fairbanks
has worked in every department of their
works except that of blacksmithing. No
work is ever allowed to be shipped that
is not perfect. But we have too many
things of interest to relate to dwell long
er here.

PRIYATE GROUNDS.

The private grounds and beautiful
residences in st. Johnsbury are too nu
merous to detail. Several of our party
reported many beauties on the grounds
Of the Hon. Horace Fairbanks. 1t
so happened that we spent too much
time in the Atheneum to see his place.
The residence and grounds of Colonel
Franklin Fairbanks are not only ex-
tremely pleasant, overlooking the town
and great amount of country, but the
conservatory and green houses on the
premises are among the most interesting
of that class of attractions in New Eng
land and the country. Among them are
two compartments in one of which were
ripe clusters of black Hamburg and 9TH
er foreign grapes, the season having be-
gun about the first of July. But the
other is the greatest curiosity. Here are
the various tropics, including many
kinds of palm trees, the tree fern, calla-
diums, and great variety of other
tropical plants. A ripe pine apple was
picked that day. The heat in this COM
partment has been scientifically brought
to the temperature of the tropics. This
enterprise is we believe the only one of
the kind in the state, and with one or
two exceptions in New England

THE ATHENEUM.

No visitor at st. Johnsbury should
fail to see the Athenaum, the principal
attraction of that pleasant place. 1t is
but few steps from the st. Johnsbury
House, and opposite the Court House.
In it is a reading room and library of
5000 volumes of the most valuable and
rare works, to all of which the entire
people of that town have free access. In
the second story is public hall for lee
lures, in the vestibule of which is large
oil portrait of the founder of that insti-
tuition, Horace Fairbanks, placed there
in his honor by the citizens of St. Johns
bury. But most interesting feature in
this building is the art gallery in which
are found paintings, statuary, bronzes,
&c, chief Of which is Bierstadt's far
famed picture of " The Domes of the
Yosemite" This picture is about Is by
10 feet, (larger if anything, we have
only guessed the size.) Mr.. Fairbanks
paid $4,000 for this painting, but the
original cost to man who decided that
he could not keep it was $4,000. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that it is q
picture of extraordinary merit and
beauty and that one could study it g
whole day. In this room we counted
between thirty and forty other paintings
of rare merit and interest. 1t is no won
der the people there think most of the
Atheneum, as was remarked by Judge
Poland.

OBsTRUCTIoNs. He plowed
along side that old, half-burnt
log three or four years, turning
it out of the way of the furrow,
back and forth many times, and
that old stump while it hurt the
team and jerked the pillow to
one side so the handles hit him
numerous ticks on the hips; and
then when he came to harvest
the grain, although the waste
and loss of time was many more
times greater than the cost of
taking the log out of the field
before he began blowing, to say
nothing of safety.
That's the way with some,
they rather suffer ten trouble
some afterclaps than take a lit
tie time to prevent them.
Some farmers delight in leav-
ing a weak place in the fence
till animals get in and destroy
lots of grain. A cunning far
mer would rather have profits
on the other side, by care.

Alligator Leather.

Twenty years ago the secret of
tanning the alligator hide was re.
vealed to partner of a Boston
boot and shoe house, by an old
Canadian. The business of col
Letting and tanning the skins was
at once commenced and now from
1900 to 10000 are tanned year.
ly, which are consumed by boot
and shoe manufacturers in every
portion of the United States, as
well as exported to London and
Hamburg. In the foreign trade,
however, the French are formida-
Die rivals, owing to their superior
method of tanning, i'll which, as
a nation, they beat the world.
The alligators formerly came al
most entirely from Louisiana, and
New Orleans was the great centre
of the business. Owing to their
indiscriminate and injudicious
slaughter. however, the animals
became thiuned out, and but lit
tie business is now dane in that
line in the Crescent City. The
Florida swamps and increases are
now the harvest fields, and Jack
sonville, in that State, is the great
depot. The animals are killed in
great numbers by the passengers
of river steamboats,, though there
are hunters who make a regular
business of their capture. The
alligators often attain length Of
eighteen to twenty feet, and fire.
quently live to fierce old age. =
The hides are stripped of, and the
belly and sides, the only portions
fit for use, are packed in barrels
in strong brine, and shipped t.
the Northern tanner, who keeps
them under treatment for from SIX
TO eight months, when they are
ready to be cut up. So far, the
leather has been mainly used il
the manufacture of boots anC
shoes, for which it is especially a.
dapted, and, by reason of the
pleasing variegation Of its surface
makes a most excellent and be
coming protection for the mascu'
line, and, indeed, tie feminine
foot, for it is beginning to be en-
ployed in the manufacture Of la.
dies boots. Handsome slippers
are also made, both of the black
and unblacked skin, as we'll al
shopping bags, portemonnaies, CT
gar,cases, and small leather goodi
of all kinds.
