AND SHOES, T LYNN,' (MASSACHUSETTS,), Perhaps the town of Nahan and Lynnin Mas sachusetts, exceeds all-places in the United States for the manufacture of shoes. In the course of the year 1811, nearly one million pair of women's shoes were made by the industrious inhabitants. They are formed of domestic sheep and foreign goat skins, dressed in the Morocco tashion. 1 he former are risen, to great value in theushoe.mak- ingbusiness. The pelt of a sheep, 6ut aTew years ago was hot worth more thanfiom six to nine cents They have since fetched forty and even fifty and when finished for iriaking the neatest shoes and slippers, is valued at two dollars and a quarter ; a price as great as the emit e animal, meat, wool and all, used formerly to bring. The first English Morocco was bro'tinto Araer ca in the Tear 179" 3, by Mr. Ebenezer Breed. It was then difficult to persuade the cordwainers of New-York and Philadelphia to work it up into shoes. A t$rat time floreathies, attnets and silks were chiefly in vPKue for, ladies wear. But at length, Morocco took a run, and became so fash ionable, that' considerable quantities were imported from England to supply the home demand. Domestic manufactories of Morocco were begun about 1796 or 1797 ; and have progressed in such a manner, that there is no occasion whatever for the imported material. Indeed the whole union is how supplied with Morocco shoes, entirely of do- niesUcmanufacture.
