H A Correspondent of the New York Evening
Post gives the following account of the mode of
making good flour in Ohio. lie says:
"There are extensive mills here, at Madison
which turn out -four equal to any Genesee brands
that have They are grinding the choice
wheat of the country this year, the more northery
crop ripening later, and having sprouted by damp
in the fields.
1 visited the Palmetto Mills, owned by Messrs
Shrewsbury & Price. They are capable of manu-
featuring four hundred barrels a day. The wheat
is brought in bags, and emptied directly from the
railroad with large tunnel box hung like
steel-yards; and after being weighed the bottom is
slipped out and it falls into the lower story of the
building. 1t is thence carried by am-elevators"
which are buckets attached to revolving belt, to
the top Of the mill, where it passes through
ton fan which separates the fragments of straw and
chat; and again it falls to the lower story 1t is
passed up a second time and then goes through
circular sieve, called ceat screen, which separates
the cheat and very small unmatured grains, and
again it falls below. The third elevation puts it
though the smut MILL between revolving cylinders
and mistones by which process all the dirt is rubb
ed off and it falls the third time to the lower floors
The fourth elevation conveys it to fan, which f.
nally blows out the broken and imperfect grains and
DUST and passes it to large chest, capable of hold
ing hundreds of bushels whence it descends TO the
millstones and is ground. 1t is then elevated to the
upper story and poured into small room, called
the hopper-Doy, the floor Of which is perforated in
the centre with holes which are the mouths f the
bolts revolving shaft is fitted with vertical pad
dies at cross angle, which plough through the
mass drawing it gradually towards the CENTRE where
it finds the mouths just named. This process coos
it at the time, the friction of the mill stones
having made it quite warm. The boiling cloths
carry it by inclined plane into lower story, the
finer -four being separated in its progress; but this
first separation is not perfect; all from which any
superine -four be extracted is sent up by return
bolts, and is poured again into the hopper-boy. And
the process goes on the various textures Of cloth
and sieve separating the bran and shorts all the time
The finest -four is then deposited in chest where
by steam screw it is packed into barrels at the
rate of four hundred day.
The freight -four from this point to New York
is about dollar and half" ...

PRESIDENT PIERCE

The New York Day Book concludes excellent
article under the heading the friends of President
PIERCE with these observations
Meantime let the true friends of the President
everywhere, East, North, West and South, stand up
boldly for him and the principles of his administra
ton. There should be no lukewarmness nor flag
ging now. Let us be as active, energetic and as
Industrious as his enemies. He has stood the brunt
of the battle, through the hardest of the fight He
has been faithful to the true principles of the demo-
cracy, amid not only the abuse, the jeers and the
SCOTS of his enemies, but in the face of desertion
and when those friends that should have stood by
him have turned their backs upon him, and like Pc
ter, denied him in the hour of trial.
We repeat, and we declare it boldly, there is
thing in the of his whole administration
that President Pierce has done for which the demo-
cracy should desert hn, which, had he refused
to do, they ought not to have deserted him"
The Day Book, unlike some of the Democratic jour
nails in the free States, is honest and straight for
ward supporter of the Nebraska bill and of President
Pisrce's administration; and we heartily commend it
to the attention of such of friends in this State
wish to take New York paper. Its course the Ne
braska bill and the question ofslavery puts to shame

Rev. 3. Ison---rsarrow nscape.

We copy the following from the local
column of the Pittsburg Dispatch:
GA few days ago, Rev. Benjamin
Ison, of the Western Virginia Confer
ence, stationed at North Street Station,
Wheeling, was in our city, on visit to
some friends, accompanied by his wife
and child. That afternoon himself,
wife and child, and the friend with whom
he was sojourning, visited an acquaint-
ance in Allegheny city, near the aquc-
duct. After remaining until about 8
o'clock in the evening, they started on
their return trip, crossing the aqueduct.
1t was very dark and foggy. Just be-
fore they came to the walk for pedes-
TRANS, leading to the aqucduct, the
company, preceded by Mr.. Ison with
the babe in his arms) were in the act of
crossing where there is double lock
in the canal, when, after passing over,
as he supposed, instead of stepping on
terra firma, plunged into tho water, and
went down over head. His wife scream
ed for help, supposing her husband and
child were both drowned, but in mo-
ment he came to the surface, clasping
his babe closely to his bosom with one
hand, when his wife had the presence
Of mind to grasp him by the other, and
sustained him in the water for few
moments until help came-and thou Oh
scarcely any time had elapsed until
some persons came to the rescue, she
was hardly able to retain her foothold.
Soon the child was taken out almost
lifeless, when he supported himself by
clinging to a piece of iron in the wall,
until assisted from the pool"
Beg~ Rev. Ison has many personal
friends here, whore he has labored as q
faithful minister of the gospel until he
was stationed at Wheeling, who will be
glad to learn of his escape, almost mi
raculous and surely providential, from
q sudden death. In the darkness and
fog, encountered with his babe, and in
one of those canal pools, that both
should escape, is as miraculous as it is
gratifying.
