We make the following extract from the Patent OOeo Report of 1859 : , , i. Experience has shown that a number of diseases, often resulting in Impaired constitutions, and even in the lose of lire, have been contracted by a portion of the laborlnr population, in consequence oTwearinf leather shoes, when engaged in their operations, during cold weather, or in wet situations To prevent these evils to some extent. wooden shoes are extensively worn in France and Ger many. They ;are highly recommended by the Agricul tural Societies and governments of Europe., Impressed with their importance, the Board of Commerce and trade of Wirtember& called a practical workman from France te give instruction in their manufacture. Net allowing water to penetrate as leather shoes do, they ar nafnrallj dryilr, capable of keeping the feet warm, prevent diseases by promoting the reauiaite and aalntarv Hnnlri.' tion, and are regarded, to a great extent, as life preservers." v -There is hardly an operation on the farm and about the farm-house in which they could not be profitably used. They are nost economical about aUkles.where leather shoes are exposed to the destructive attacks of dung-water, in plowing, mowing, harvesting, in doing earth work la vineyards, chopping wood, and in marketing! With thee advantages, in a salutary, point of view, they combine such durability as to last almost a life time. These advantages will certainly entitle them to the atten tion of a portion of the farming, manufacturing and labour ing population of the coanrj. .... TFIE1M A FRAPS. Raleigh. N. C. Dec. 31, mi.
