the lady had seen the notes addressed

TANAEEIEs Il, NEw YORK STATE-The
neighborhood Of Chestertown, n. Y, is
filed with tanning manufactures, which
are removed farther and farther into the
wilderness as the supply Of tan-bark is
used up. 1t was not long since Fort Ed
ward and Conklingville, on the Sacandaga,
were the extreme northern limits for these
tanneries. Now they have penetrated into
the very heart Of the AdIrondacss, and
the owners Of tanueries in this section are
already contemplating their removal still
deeper INTO the wilderness, having exhaust
I'd all the bark ia their immediate vicinity
Indeed, the day IS not distant when the
question What Shall be done now that
the bark Is used up? must be look ed
squarely in the face When this time
comes, unless some new chemical agent,
equally cheap, IS discovered which will
take the place Of the hemlock bark, the
consequences to the consumer will be most
serious.

OF paper pulp from the wood of the pop

The people living in the neighborhood
of Woolwich, England the site of the royal
arsenal, have been lately gravely disturbed
by tue discovery that the ground beneath
their feet was liable at any moment to give
way and let them down into a cavern or
subterraneous reservoir containing thirty
feet of water. Excavations and probings
at different points have proved that con-
siderable area is thus undermined, and the
consequence has been a general removal Of
all who could afford to takeother and SAT-
er habitations. For the security of such
as remain government surveys of the
ground are to be made Immediately, and
such safeguards adopted against accident
as the necessity of the case shall demand.
