Whether this be bread, beef, potato, or
cabbage, il is certain that it is always
important to have good bread. 1t is more
than twenty years since the bread reform
has been among the topics Of agitation in
this city yet probably at this day not one
in twenty of our people can distinguish
between healthful and an unhealthful
article of bread, or between good and poor
flour. Graham -four or wheat-meal is very
seldom ground as it should be at any Of
the mills. Instead Of being cut into fine
particles, tho bran is scaled or mashed of
in flakes; and the consequence is that,
when yeast or fermented bread is made Of
it, the finer particles are ovsr-fsrmented
while the coarser are not fermented sufi-
ciently. This destroys, in great degree,
the favor as we'll as the healthfulness of
the article; besides rendering the loaf dry,
hard, and rough. The difficulty is still
greater in making cakes Of any kind, CT
pie-crust.
A new article of flour has lately appear
ed in this market from the "Arcade Mills
of l.. A. Spaulding, Esq, Lockport,
Niagara Co., New York. We have tes-
ted lin various ways and find it excellent
1t supplies the desidcratum Of having the
branny portion finely cemminutsd. A
small portion of the outer bran is rejected
but the gluten, which exists most abun
dantly in the inner portions of the bran Of
outer particles Of -four, is retained, which
is an important consideration when any
separation of the proximats constituent.
Of the grain is made. Those who are not
thoroughly experienced in bread-makins
will be able to manage this -four much better
than they can tho common article Of
Graham -four, for the reason that it fer.
ments more evenly and uniformly; while
for making cakes and pies it will be much
more tender and need much less shortening
of any kind than the ordinary four-ps o.
vided shortening is used at all.
| The wheat from which the Arcade Mill.
manufactures this flour We know to be o
superior quality Of "whito flint" extensive
ly known IS "Gsneses wheat" and
among all the rich wheat-growing counties
Of Western New York, none produces a
better article than Niagara. We find a
pleasure in commencing this article to the
patronage Of Water-Curs establishments
and to the public generally. 1t may be
had in thi, city Of N. H. Wolfe, II South

Public Vendues.

Our readers will find in tho present
number of the Telegraph several notices
of public vondues shortly to take place

our farmers and others TO the numerous
yeniues which will as usual appear in our
columns, at this season Of the year, with
view to the supplying of their wants in
articles which can generally be purchased
a; low prices on these occasions.
While on the subject, We will take the
opportunity Of drawing the attention Of
all persons having personal property 10
dispose Of this season, of the Importance
to their own interests Of having all the
advertisements of the sales inserted in the
Telegraph, az well as proclaimed in hand
bills. While the latter answer a good
purpose for the immediate neighborhood

the former goes into the midst of the fau-
lily, for many miles throughout the region
where il il desirable to be known, and
where it can at all times be referred to,
either as to the articles which may be
needed, or the time Of sale. The object
of all advertisers is to have as many peo-
pie read the published notices as possible; !;
aud in the Gaze Of vendue, If the increased
expenditure Of ore, two or three dollars
incurred by inserting the notice in the
Telegraph, should induce single additional
person to attend the sale, who may bid

which smaller number of bidders might

would at once be covered. But, again, it

UNANswERABLE ENQUIRIES.

In TIE Washington Union of the 10th inst.
appears an editorial comment upon the acauitlal
by the Con IRE ssonal committee, of Secretary
Corwin, as possessing any interest at this time,
IN the Gardiner Claim, which the same com
mittee find to be most scandalous fraud The
Union admits that Secretary Corwin has been
acquitted, but in making this admission, it puts
doubt can be left upon The mind of any rational
being, not blinded by party prejudice. as to the
moral cupabliiy of the Secretary Here are
the Unions questions.
''The people, investigating the fact Of this
wholesale punder of their treasury, will in the
hrst place, consider that the Secretary Of the
Treasury, while senator in Congress, became
associate counsel for a claim which turns out
upon congressional investigation, to be "a ma
ked fraud that some short time after, and while
the board OF commissioners regarded the claim
as open to grave suspicion, he purchases, at a
small figure, large interest in it; that, in view
of taking the proffered office of Secretary of the
Treasury, he sells out his interest in this and
other claims for nearly eight times the amount
which he appears to have paid and that this
large amount Of purchase money is vet in his
hands.
"ln this state of facts, the people will ask,
whether Mr.. Corwin would probably have been
engaged as associate counsel in this claim, if he
had not been senator OF the United States. and
man OF high partisan influence and distinction.
They will inquire, further, whether, if he had
not been man of great political influence with
a whig commission, he would have bought a
large interest in a claim already suspected by
hat commission to be a fraud They will then
inquire whether, if he had not been about 10 en-.

tody of the treasury, he could probably have

Revenge and Death.

Our citizens were shocked by the sudden
death of John w. Lace, by the hands of a wo-
man, on the s.de-w in front Of Hopkins (late
fIu!l's) book store, on Wisconsin street at 10
o'clock this morning. The facts as far as we
can learn them are these: Mr.. Lace had scluc
ed Miss Wheeler, millincr-doubtless under
an express or implied promise Of marrage-and
had refused to make the only rcparaton in his
power, by marrying her. Recently she had
written to him asking him to send her little

A GREAT SToRy.-Monsieur Petin has writ
ten an account of his recent balloon ascension,
which has been translated from the French and
published IN the Springfield Republican. In
speaking from the upper regions he says:
We passed over the broad Connecticut, which
stretched away in both directions into the hazy
horizon, and here singular optical phenomenon
was observed by US. Looking directly down
from the great height at which we were Il @, 900
feet,) we saw as distinctly as though we had
been an eagle pecring down from that lofty ight
for his prey, the fish IN great numbers dar,ing
