The following on The bread question
has so rich a vein Of gvod sense running
through il, that we clip It from Life n
iastrated, for the beueft Of our readers
II has become the general opinion that
something must DO pui into bread--some
foreign subsiance--as yeast. salts, acids
and alkalies, ect., b make il light. palata-
BILE nutricious and digestibe. This is a
very grave mistake. These things make
an article which is profitable to the man
utaoturer, but very Improbable TO the
consumer The best bread in the world,
and the only good bread, in tho absolute
sense is made Of meal and water and notl-
ing else. It is also the cheapest bread
in the world. Il is good because no ex.
traneous ingredient Is added. lis cheap,
because noihiug is injured or destroyed.
Il is the only true wholesome bread, be-
cause it contains al the elements Of nutri-
ton Just as nature has produced them.
But, can such bread be made light and
pslatable? Certainly, Il can not only be
made light and palatable, but rich, sweet
aud delicious. Aud il should be made
in every house. We mean no offence,
gentle sisters, and loving mothers but
we do say that each Of you who has an
intelligent appreciation Of It's own impor-
tanoe, will make it with your own hands.
Why, bless your hearts, what were
your hands made forg To play the pi-
ano, we grant, and, to make bread, too,
we presume.
Any mother, or any woman can make
all tho bread an ordinary family requires
with less than twenty minutes Of actual
labor and such labor is Of itself condu-

equally well in hot steam, thus avoiding

who have poor teeth. This bread, when

as new, To have bread light Il is import
ant that it begin to cook with a brisk

No person who has once got accustomed
to the rich aroma aud delicious flavor Of
this pure article, this true "staff Of life, :"
will ever desire TO return to bread rotted

husband whose wife can set such food
before him. Her children will have a

Corn Statistics in Ohio.

The statistical and agricultural ediiori-
al articles Of the Cincinnati Gazette are
not surpassed by any journal in lhe Uni.
ted States. From an article in that pa
per Of June 80, on the corn crop Of Ohio.
we gather the following;
1, Tho corn crop OF Ohio has mover
failed.
E. The depreciation Of twenty per cent.
below an average crop is equal 10 loss
Of eighty million Of dollars. or an amount
equal TO fous-6lths tho value Of the entire
cotton crop.
8. This fact proves the Importance Of
corn culture as perfectly as possible. A
very little depreciation ia this immense
crop costs Che nation many millions.
4. The average crop is about thirty
Eve bushels 10 the acre, which makes the
land cultivated in Indian corn IN the Uni
ted States about.twonty-for ar millions Of
acres. In Ohio, AZ the present time. just
about one tenth of the State is in Indian
corn. We suppose that one-fourth might
be so cultivated one-iourth in small
grain one.fourth in grass, aud one-fourth
woods. With this culture the State
would support six millions Of people, and
have more 10 export than there now is
Although the average per acre Of corn
varies but little, the average on particular
farms varies prodigiously There Is re-.
corded, and properly authenticated, an
ipstanoe in Ohio OF one hundred aud
eighty-fvo bushels Of corn per aore Aud
there are large fields Of bottom land which
range from eighty 10 one hundred bushels
per acre. On tho other hand, to counter
balance this. there are numerous farms
whore the corn crop is not moro than
twenty bushels per acre. Corn depends
more than almost any other plant on the
character Of the soil. hanuros an I'd salts
will enrich ground FOR wheat, but broad
oornfelds cannot be treated in that way

Immense Destruction Of Property

About I clock last night, q fire
commenced in the North range of
workshops in the Ohio Penitentiary,
and made such progress before it was
discovered, that it was impossible to
arrest it until the entire range was
i'll ruins. 1t was with great diff
Guilty checked, before tho west and
east wings Of the manufacturing de-
partments were involved in the con-
tlagration. Still the destruction Of
property was very great. &c.. ..
The Ohio Tool Company's shop,
Hayden's Blacksmith shop, Hall,
Brown q Co.'S Cooper shop, the
State Shoe and Tailor shops, and
Days Wood Type mandatory were
entirely destroyed. .. .. -.
1t is presumed the losses were par
TALLY protected by insurance, but to
what extent we could not ascertain at
the scene Of destruction. The de.
rastation along the North range is
complcte-nothing whatever could
he saved-and some of the walls fell
during the burning. .
It's hardly possible this connagraA
ton could have so complete without
having been the work Of some scoun-
drel. When our reporter arrived on
the ground, the fire was raging with
equal fierceness, the whole length of.
the entire row of buildings.
The gross loss to contractors cam
not be less than fifty thousand dol
lars. What that Of the State will
be, we have not heard estimated. 49,

number was curtailcd to about one for

DC banks enough for purposes of ex.

so many Of them that the public need

Distressing Incident.

Last week son of Col. JOS. j.
Winter of this county, returned from
Kansas, after an absence Of some.
three years, we believe. His appear
ance had 80 changed that even his
father>did not recognize him when
he entered the paternal mansion.
After the son had made himself
known, the father stepped to the
door of an adjoining room, and call
ing to two,of his daughters, inform-
ed them thata gentleman desired to
see them. Upon entering the room,
the young ladies did not at first re-
cognize their brother; but almost in
stantly, the eldest, named Cecilia,
recognized him and sank instantly to
the floor, dead. Being somewhat
delicate, the joyous surprise Of thus
unexpectedly meeting her long eb-
sent brother, to whom she was dear
ly attached, was too much, and her
gentle spirit took its flight to realms
where her sudden happiness will en-
dure forever. - Ctarhsbarg Register
