A Huntingdon Industry.

Tie Goadolu TaHnin Company's Contem.
plated ErtcnSioa--AR Important Invention.
HUNTINGTON, April THE Gondola
Tannin Company contemplates the du.
plication of their works at this place
during the coming summer. They in.
tend to occupy, ultimately, their entire
grounds extending along the Pennsyl.
vania Railroad from the South side OF
Eleventh Street to the North side of
Thirteenth Street, distance of $50
feet. When this has been done, tho
works will be four times their present
size and capacity.
This company has introduced new
industry of vast Importance to the
country. Their establishment, the only
one of the kind in America, produces a
material for tanning leather as sub
sttute for the barks heretofore and still
in extensive use. The process was in.
vented and patented by Paul Gondola,
Frenchman, from whom the works
take their name and who has an inter
est in them. Associated with him are
New York and Philadelphia capitalists,
the officers and directors of the com.
pany residing in those cities.
Gondola, by his invention, has an,
swered the question often asked by tan.
ners, "What will we do when the bark
is exhauted T. His process, instead Of
stripping the tree OF its covering and
using only the latter, leaving the trunk
to decay in the forest, rs it frequently
does, utilities the wood and extracts
from it the active principle-tannic
acid-which converts the raw hides into
an indispensable article OF commerce.
II will, in the future, relieve the man.
ufacture OF leather OF much OF the ex.
pense and many OF the inconvenience
by which it has been attended. The
tanners now transport their bark over
long distances or build the tanneries in
outofthe.way places among the trees.
This will no longer be necessary, as the
new product is highly concentrated and
occupies but little space, and freight
charges for conveying it to any part Of
the country will not be heavy. II finds
market now in Texas, Georgia, NIr.
ginia, New York aud the New England
States, TO all of which the works are
shipping. The extent Of the demand,
when it comes into general use, % it is
rapidly doing, may be inferred from the
fact that there are in Pennsylvania
alone twelve hundred tanneres and
that there is one Of these that will con.
sumo twice as much as the present
works can make.
No other works than these will be
built in the United States, while the
grounds of the company at this place
will afford room for extension. In
Europe they have been established in
France, Italy, Belgium and some other
countries. Large quantities Of chestnut
and rock oak wood, the kind principal.
ly used, and which were before com.
paratively worth but little where they
are found, are being used, and are
brought here from every direction .for
hundreds of miles. The value added TO
this material is intellectually great to
this section Of the State.

 4 Hartford gentleman wrote 10 the sec retary of the general postoftiee at London, for information IS to the general delivery of mail matter in England, and received reply tha, there is no village and bu, few hamlets in the United Kingdom without d delivery of letters from house to house. In some thinly inhabited districts letters are no, delivered every day, but twice or three times week: but with rare excep- ,ions letters are delivered. even in the rural districts six days in the week. if not seven. The frequency of the delivery de pends upon the number of letters. the hours of the arrival of the mails and cost of providing the service. As rule, all towns and mos, of the considerable villages have deliveries of letters from house to house twice day. Of the oio head postottices, thirty have one delivery per day, $50 have two. Soo have three, II5 have four, r have ;, 6 have six. and one Liverpool has seven daily deliveries. The six offices which have six deliveries are Edinburgh. Dublin, Brming gham, Leeds.

originator of that yarn. He loves a joke, and he IS known to almost every palace car porter in the country, manages to carry oat the sell very successfully when ever necessary. In case the gentleman reaches the train late and finds the lower berths occupied, he hunts around until he flnds a nervous traveller in a place where he would like to be himself. Then he calls the colored porter, and asks him if he has heard any further news of Rev. NIT. Smith. The porter, who is posted, replies, You mean de po' gemman what you mashed dat night you fell froo de berth Yes replies de ponderous traveller. I've often thought of that poor man, Jim. think broke one of his ribs and one of his arms, didn't l9 Two ribs and bofe arms, sar.' replies linn sol emnly.

 " By this time you can depend that the nervous traveller IS getting his pantaloons on.

A Description of a Cowboy.
Exchange.

\ genuine cowboy IS worth describing. In many respects he is wonderful crea- ture. He endures hardships that would take the lives of most men, and is. there fore, a perfect type of physical manhood. He IS the finest horseman in the world. and excels Tn all the rude sports of sne held. He aims to be dead shot. and universally is. Constantly during the herding season he rides seventy-five miles day, and majority of the year sleeps in the open air. His life in the saddle makes him worship his horse, and 1t, with rife and six-shooser, complete his happiness. Of vice in the ordinarv sense he knows nothing. He is a rough. uncou,h, brave and generous creature. who never lies or cheats. It is a mistake to imagine that they are dangerous set,
 Any one is as safe with them as with any people in the world, unless he steals horse or is hunting for fight. Tn their eyes death is mild punishment for horse-stealing. Indeed, it is the highes, crime known to the unwritten law of the ranch. Their life, habits, education. and necessities breed this feeling in them. But with all this disregard of human lie there are less murdereTs and cut-throa,s graduated from the cowboys than from among the better educated classes of the east who 90 west for venture or gain.
 They delight in appearing rougher than they are. To tender-foot as they call an eastern man, they love to tel blood-curdling stories. and impress hirn with the dangers on the frontier. But 10 man needs get in quarrel with ,hen, unless he commits some crime.

How He Gets a Lower Berth.
Philadelnhia Press. ]

"lt would take day in the recital. and then fll a big book to tell of the incidents tha, enter into the daily life of Pullman car," said ]. w. Smittley, the resident superintendent of the company in Phila- delphia, and then it would take another and larger book to contain what hadn't | been told" Are any of these stories true of fat men telling horrible tales about crashing through upper berths in order to secure lower berths ?" was asked.
 It is true that facetious heavy weights tell the stories in the hearing of timid persons was the reply, and it is equally untrue that any upper berths ever break down. \ well known New York journalist who tips the beam at three hundred pounds-suppose you know him can be credited with being the
