 liavo been made at weaving. A manufactory of 

 this kind is now in operation, vvitli tlie most favor-

 that inasmucli as a company has been organized,

Manufacture of Ltather in Canada.— TUe Mon- 

 treal Courant states that this important branch of 

 manufacture has wonderfully increased of late. — 

 A few years back, the colony was almost entirely 

 dependent on New York for supplies of leather. 

 It is now certain tliat it can be manufactured in 

 Canada and brought to market 3t as low a price 

 as imported leather. Canada possesses immense 

 quantities of hemlock in her woods, and now, 

 since the tanning business has been introduced sol 

 generally, these hemlock forests will prove to be ! 

 mines of gold. Some opinion of the extent to 

 which tanning is carried on in Montreal and vici- 

 nity may be formed from the following statement 

 of twelve tanneries connected with one house in 

 that city. Costs of tannery, £15,600; number 

 of hides manufactured yearly, 40,500 ; average 

 weight, 30 lbs. ; weight of sole leather produced, 

 1,215,000 ; average cost of maimfacluring, id. ; 

 average value per pound, 1*. 3(/. ; total value, 

 £103,437 10s. Besides the twelve tanneries 

 above mentioned, there are many others in the 

 city, and other places, at which the cost of man- 

 ufacturing is about the same as those enumerated. 

 It is added, ' Tliis gives a suin of about £70,000 

 distributed aupong the working classes of the dis- 

 trict of Montreal, which a few years ago was ex- 

 pended in the United States.' 



A letter from a correspondent in .Mexico to the 

 Pennsylvania Inquirer, says, that in the city of 

 Puebia, containing 70,000 inhabitants, there is no 

 newspaper pulilished. 



Black Currant Wine. 



Just received at J. B. Russell's Seed Store, Nos. 51 ^ 

 52 North Market Street, Boston— 



A furlher supply of superior old Black Currant Wine, 

 made under the inspection of John Prince, Esq. Roxbu- 

 ry ; an account of its astringent and (letergent proper- 

 lies in various complaints, will be found in the N. E. 

 Farmer, vol. 5, pai;e 267, written by S. VV. Poineroy, 

 Esq. and the late Doct. J. G. Coffin. It is highly salu- 

 tary in many summer cumplaints. Doct. Coffin stales : 

 • Its use has been atteniled with remarkable success in 

 the early stages of cholera morbus and dysentery — and 

 again also in the later stages of these diseases after the 

 symptoms of inflammation or febrile excitement had 

 cea-;ed. It has been strikingly remedial in the lowstales 

 of typhoid and bilious fever. Tlie late Capt. Gilchrist, 

 who for several years lollowed the Batavia trade, and 

 who had always suffered an attack of the severe cholera 

 which proves so destiuctive of human lile in that climate, 

 used to say that after he had this wine with him, and 

 took two glasses of it every morning, he escaped tlie 

 disease. On one voyage, his mate, who had not taken 

 the wine, was seized with this complaint, when a bottle 

 or two stopped its progress. We have not room to enu- 

 merate m.iny other morbid affections in which this wine 

 has proved useful. In sore throat it has for i,,any years 

 been considered almost a specific remedy. — Price 75 cts. 

 per bottle.

A Gardener Wanted. 



Wanted, a Gardener, who can bring good recommen- 

 dations ol his industry, sobriety and honesty. No one 

 need apply who has so high an opinion of himself, as not 

 to be willing to lollow without complaint or scruple the 

 directions given to him, as it is not my intention to hire 

 a master over myself. Good wages and kind treatment 

 will be given, but entire obedience isexpecteii in return.
