ILL. Jan. Z3, 1877.
 EDITOR OF ENoUIRER-If you are as shor' of news as are our Western editors, since the cold weather and presidential election, letter from Yankee in busi. ness good way from his native state may perhaps find room in your columns.
 It is about three years since I moved to this state, aud this winter reminds me of our New England winters, without the Iow and storms. We had very rainy Fall, but lave not had any rain or snow, to speak of, this winter; not more than two inches of snow altogether Sleighing is at a discount in this section. have not had a sleigh-ride since I left the high hills of Goshen, and there have not been two weeks that sleighs could beused to tdvantage since the 25th of November; thermometer ranging from thirty above to fifteen below zero Roads are smooth and the wheeling very fine, which is un- usual for this country, as we generally have mud here when you have snoa; and, by your Connecticut correspondence, I see you are having plenty of it this win ter. The frost is now about three feet deep, and the farmers are anticipating good crops, the coming year, as the free zing of the ground to that depth loosens the earth and prepares it for good corn crop.
 The present indications are that there will be more corn planted the coming season than any previous year. The ex- hibit of State Department of Agriculture shows that the yield of corn ill the county f IT the year 1876 amounted to 3,29O, 49O bushel, that be,ng abont fifty per cent of an average yield for term of years. Corn is worth from thirty-three to thirty-six cents bushel at the railroad, now,. and hen it is hard work to get cars enough to send as it comes to market. Dressed Hogs are worth T to 8 cents; beef 6 to . cents per pound. Wood is being drawn into the city, this winter. in large quantities at from three to four dollars per cord Soft coal is delivered at any place in the city for $2,50 per ton Our shops and factories are nearly all run niug on full time; and with a market not overs ocked with Eastern goods, 1 think the prospects very fair for t.e com ing year Our Legislature has just made a U. s. Senator of Judge Davls on the ortieth ballot, and there is 8 prospect 'f congress making us President of the Cnited States, and whichever it is, Mir. Hayes or Mir. Tilden, think the people of Illinois will say Amen, and be .ady for business when Spr rg opens. E. BIT.

POLICE Court, YEsTERDAT-Justice DO
seph j. White presiding.-N. s. Crump,
one of the managers OF Mayo's tobacco fac
tory, was sent on to the grand Jury for
striking Daniel Williams, colored hand,
with weight. Williams was struck on the
head, and apparently is not very much hurt.
Mr.. Crump was under considerable pro-
vocation, but the evidence was such as to
require the Police Justice to send him on.
Before jury his chances OF acquittal seem
to be good.
Washington Webb (co]ored) was up on
the charge OF stealing eight bushels OF pota-
toes from Walker Hogan. The evidence not
being sufficient to convict, the accused was
not convicted, but he was committed to jail
for thirty days in default Of surety to be OF
good behavior.
Thomas Jones (eolored) was fined 50 and
costs for threatening to assault Alexander
McAuley with weight.
John Smith (colored) was sent to Jail for
thirty days for stealing one barrel, valued at
thirty cents, from Mr.. Quinn.
Lucy Tribbey and John Baker (colored),
charged with stealing twelve dollars from
Hannah Gray and Abbey Gray. The JUS
tice dismissed the case, and required the
parties to pay costs.
Robert Zimmerman (wbite), charged with
yagrancy, was committed for sixty days In
default OF surety.
Prince a.. Brooks (coIored), an escaped
lunatic from Pinel Hospital, was returned
to that Institution. sss.-

While General Jewell was our Minister
in Russia he visited the tanneries Of that
country, and found out the secret OF the
Russia leather, beloved of book devotees.
The secret is the result OF the use OF birch
bark tar, with which the skins are dressed,
in place Of tallow and grease-the latter
substances being SO largely used as
food among the lower classes. This
tar, which is carefully saved rs it exudes
from the wood when burned, was first
used as a substitute for wheel-grease in Rus
sia, as it is to this day, and then for the fill
ing and dressing Of skins. BY sys-
tenn of careful inquiry, and literally fol-
lowing his nose during his visits to some OF
the great Russian tanneries and curriers'
shops, Nr. Jewell found this compound in
great kettle ready for use. and thus the
mystery was solved. 1t is not expensive,
costing about ten dollars barrel, and he
ordered ten barrels, and sent
them to various leading leather mannfac-
turers in this country with instructions,
and the result is that genuine Russia
leather goods are now made in America,
aad doubtless will soon be sold at nearly
fifty per cent. below former prices.
