promotion of industry, gave the first
premiums on domestic bread, to Mrs.
Hiram Hill, of Providence. The
following is Mrs. Hills recipe for ma
king the bread exhibited by her:
For two loayes of the ordinary
size, take eight potatoes, pare them,
slice very thin, and boil quick until
quite soft, then mash to a fine pulp,
and add, a little by two quarts Of
boiling water, stirring until a starch
is formed; let it cool, and add one.
third of cup of new yeast. This
forms the "sponge" which should re-
main in moderately warm place fol
ten or twelve hours, or cover night
until it becomes very light and
fro,by; even If a little sour. it is o
no consequence. when the sponge
is ready, add little flour, and worl
it until you have formed a stiff firm
mass. The longer and moro frml,
this is kneaded, the better the bread
Let the kneaded mass remain sa,
from haif to three quarters Of al

fifteen minutes, care being takel
that it does not rise too much ant

and it only partially answers the pur-
pose for which it was recommended,
viz: to keep the striped bug from
making its deposits 10 the tree, as
they sometimes lay their eggs two
feet from the ground. At the same
time / tried the experiment of pour
ing boiling ley on the trunk and
around the root of the tree every two
weeks through the heat of summer;
this killed the eggs before maturing,
and made the bark of an old tree
assume the smoothness and health oil

."The result was, we had favored
peaches of the largest size from trees
twelve years old, while our neigh.

Lord Raglan was buried on the Sd Of July,
with all the pomp which circumstances permit
ted. There are rumors that Pelissier is about
to be superseded. Since the repulse Of the 18th
the allies have been strengthening their advance
against the Malakofr. Late letters from the
camp involve Lord Raglan almost equally with
Pelissier in the mismanagement that occasioncd
the repulse of the 18th. The French division
under General Mayron commenced the attack
prematurely, before the other divisions bad taken
their ground, Mayron fell MORALLY wounded
and his division being thrown into disorder, the
Russians turned their concentrated FIRE upon the
next division as it came up, and shattered it
badly. Retreat was then effected in good order
but with great loss,
When Raglan saw the defeat of the first
French division, he hastily ordered an attack
on the Redan, to effect a diversion in favor Of
the French, although it was previously intend
ed that the British should not attack until the
French had taken the Malakoi, as the Malakoff
guns quite commanded the Redan. Rsglan's
order 10 attack was a great error, and the British
slorming party, not being sufficiently strong to
carry the works, were ~repulsed with much
slaughter. /, is a curious incident that Gener-
al Eyre, with 1000 British, penetrated into the
suburbs of Sebasiopol itself and held possession
OF the houses Of one street II hours, but being
totally unsupported, retired at nighifall. 1t is
