FREE ADVERTISING is no class OF men
who are called upon to do so much in the way
Of charity, and whose charity is so little appre-
ciated, as publishers of newspapers. They arc
expected to publish notices Of all benevolent IN
stitutions without charge, and, though such pup.
LEGATION actually costs them money, they arc
not considered as having contributed, but arc
expected to draw money from their pockets ac-
cording to their means for the same object, WIN
The Consequence is that publishers pay hea;.
vier tax to the public than any other class u
men according to their means, and still tne,
contributions are scarcely thought Of We nno
that some publishers are determined to take
stand against this gratuitous advertisingIcon'
sidering it, in every sense, thankless and pro-
itless busness.-Bosten Uhig.

last crossing foot Bridge, over considerable
stream, they became dizzy, and could neither go
forward or return. In this fearful situation they
remained for some time, until one of them fell
into the water below, and was carried down the
rapid current. The cries of the young ladies
for relief reached the ears of Master Charles
E. Babcock, son Of Charles Babcock, Esq
fourteen years old, and the gallant boy plung-
ed at once into the current, swan to the drown.
ing girl, carried her to the Shore and then went
on to the bridge and led each of the young la
dies safely to the shore. If some one OF these
girls does not fall in love with this brave lad,
and thus furnish him the appropriate reward
for so noble deed, there is less romance IN

Bread WITH AND WITHOUT GIN.-Itis well known
that in the old established way Of baking, the
steam which arises during the process is allow
ed to escape as of no value; but accident disco
vered, q few years ago, that this vapor, If con
densed. exhibited traces of alcohol, and the col
lection Of il Immediately became an object of
cupidity and speculation and this, together with
SOME saving Of fuel during the process Of bak-
ing suggested the patent and the formation
ofthe company upon great scale. One of its
recommendations was, that bread so made
though kept for any length of time, does not be-
come sour; and this we understand is the fact;
but how, and at what expense is this incorrupti'
bility procured2 Sour bread is unquestionably
bad; but is not bread which, il kept too long, is
liable to become souri, the very article we want?
In the new method, the distillation (for such it
is in reality)is pushed as far as it can go; the
whole product of the fermentation is obtained
and collected, so that the residue, or loaf may
be regarded as capm mortuun, incapable of
undergoing further change; but is it not rather
unluckily deprived, at the same time, of its sac
charine principle: in Short of all nutritive pro-
perty2 For our own parts, we adhere to the
old orthodox bread with the gin in t.-Quarter-
