ers the last proof sheet of the index to the
revised statutes and the work will be out Of
printers hands by Tuesday. 1t is expected
that few copies of the new revision will be
placed in the hands Of the Secretary of State
BY the last of the week.
Large quantities of bark are being brought
from Aroostook and New Brunswick by rail-
1t goes to Massachusetts. If it can be profit
ably used there it hardly seems necessary
that the Dexter tanneries should close up for
want of bark.
