EXTRAORDINARY RELEAsE.-The GAINESVILLE
(Ohio) Courier gives an account Of the rele, Sc
who had been buried beneath the earth by the
bank caving in, for IA days and IA hours.
They were all able to walk, and with one ex-
ception appeared still to have considerable
strength. The Courier says:
at appears that they did not suffer much
from hunger. The first day after the catas
trophe they made bed of soft earth and slept
together. During their sleep, the lamps went
out, and were not again lighted. There was
only dinner for one man in the mines, and
this was soon exhausted. They then used fresh
water, three jugs of which were with them,
and after exhaustipg this, they drank sulphur
water. One of the men got a sore throat from
theiuse of this, and took swallow of oil for
relief. This was all Of the latter article used
by them.

FLOUR AND BRRAD.-A correspondent Of the
Scientific American communicates the follow
ing Information 20 that paper. If reliable,
his statements are Of importance TO all who
have occasion to purchase or make use Of
-four.
Wheat sown in the fall will produce grain
much heavier than the same seed sown in the
spring and one hundred pounds Of winter
wheat Hour will make more and better bread
tnan one hundred pounds of -four made from
spring wheat.
Miilers find it economical to use large stones
IN grinding; but large stones iniure the auals
Ivy OF the hour. No mill stone should be over
tnree leet In diameter; -four from such a
stone VIII make more and better bread than
Hour made from a fve-foot stone; so that ono
hundred pounds Of winter wheat ground with
three foot stones, and baked by a REGULAR ha-
ker with the drugs and chemicals at present
used, will make one hundred and seventy
pounds of good bread. One hundred pounds
of the same description of -four baked as
women bake for their families, will bake one
hundred and forty pounds of good bread
Ole hundred pounds of bad -four, baked as
women bake for their families, will make one
hundred pounds Of pretty good bread By
bad hour do not mean hour which has re-
ceived any damage from heat or damp, or
from any other cause; but / mean sound
spring wheat nicely and finely ground with
LdrSe STONES, HVe leet or more m diameter
-four that almost any one, except master ba-
kers, would pronounce TO be "superfne A
No. l."
One pound of dough, if baked In an oven
IN pans, Will make one pound Of bread, nice
large sweet bread, and almost entirely devoid
Of nutritious qualifications, useful principally
as kind ef vehicle to transport butter into
the human stomach. One pound of dough
baked on the bricks on the bottom Of the oven
viii lose two or three ounces in weight in bak-
ing, and will not look so nice, but il will be
sixty per cent more nutritious than the same
amount of dough baked in the pan
When the -four is dry and noi musty, and a
baker wishes TO judge of its quality in his
own shop, he squeezes handful Of il tight
and II, on opening it, the -four retains tho
shape of the hands and fingers, it is a sign
that 1t possesses the good qualities L have
mentioned above; if it crumble down on open
ing the hand, it will not make as much nor as
good bread. When a baker Is inspecting
Hour, not in his own shop, or in the presence
OF outsiders, he takes a handful carelessly,
squeeEes it tight, and then throws il back
into the barrel; if the lump keeps its shape,
or breaks only into two or three pieces, he
viii buy it If, on the contrary, il goes into
fine powder, he will not have Il. because il
viii not make much nor good bread.

CLAY AND RANDOLPH The story of the
duel between Henry Clay and John Randolph
is familiar to most persons rot SO their sub
sequence reconciliation, and the manner Of it's
accomplishment. 1t took place many years
after the hostile meeting In regard 70 Il Mr..
Clay wrote to a friend in the year preceding
Mr. Randolph's death, as follows: "You ask
how amity was restored between Mr. Randolph
aud me. There was no explanation, no inter-
Ventlon. Observing him in the Senate one
night, and looking as if he was not long for
this world, and being myself engaged in a
Work OF peace, with corresponding feeling,
shook hands with him. The salutetion was
cordial on both sides. afterwards left card
at his lodgings, where L understood he had
been confined by sickness"
In the last public speech that Randolph
made, after dwelling on the then threatening
danger OF disunion, he is reported 10 have
sand: There is one man, and one man only,
who can save this Union-that is Henry Clay.
L know be has the power: l believe he will
be found to have the patriotism and frmness
equal TO the occasion"
The cause Of the duel between these two
distinguished men, was the following insulting
language used by Mr.. Randolph towards Mr..
Clay, In secret session of the Senate In 1926:
This man-(mankindI crave your psrdonD
-thlsWorm-(llttle animals forgive this insult)
was spit out of the womb of Heakuess-was
raised to higher life than he was born TO, for
he was raised to the society Of blackguards.
Somo fOrtune-kind to him-cruel to us-has
tossed him to the Secre.aryship of State. Con.
tempt has the property of descending, but she
stops far short of him. She would die before
she would reach him he dwells below her fail.
would hate him if I did not despise him. IL
1T not 'chat he is but :clsere be is that puts nv
theughtsin action. This alphabet which writes
the name of Thersites, of blackgusrd, Of squaI-
idity, refuses her letters for him That mind
which thinks on what II cannot express can
scarcely think on him An hyperbole for
mcanness would be an elipsis for Clay"

BRITISH PORCELAIN AT a recent meeting
Of the Burslem School of Design, in Stafford
shire, England, Mr.. III. Mintom made a speech,
in which he stated that In the manufacture of
china and earthenware, England surpassed
France, but great efforts were required 10
maintain their present position. 1t is sim
gular fact that the British porcelain manu-
facture may be said to be the product OF one
one ingenious workingman, and he lame and
enfeebied-the well known Wedgewood, who,
as a journeyman potter, elevated the porce-
lain Manufactures Of England from Q rude to
a most elegant art, and was created member
of the Royal Society.
