How Ngw YORK BAKERS MAKE BREAD.-
The editor of the Journal Of Commerce has
been diving among the city bakers, and
comes up with this tale:
"Our bakeries are mostly under ground
and out Of sight, and few who eat their
bread ever witness the process of baking,
and perhaps it is well that it is SO. Il has
been said that he who would relish his din
ner, should keep clear Of the kitchen. The
rooms where the dough is mixed, ere gene.
rally small and unde. ground, the men sleep
often, perhaps generally, in the same room
part OF the night. They often smoke or
chew tobacco, or both, and we are credibly
informed that the feet instead Of the hands
are often employed in the process of pre-
pairing the dough-"

MANAGEMENT OF THE NORTH CAROLINA RoAD-By
great labor the was opened for the passage Of
the cars this road at the earliest moment posi-
ble and the energy displayed on this, on former
occasions, reflects much credit upon the President,
Chas. F. Fisher, Esq. We received the Asheville
papers on Thursday evening, showing the road had
been opened all the way through on Wednesday.
The snow towards and among the mountains was
heavier than it here, and in many places it had
drted to depth of eight and ten feet in the cuts of
the railroad.
Mr.. Fisher has now been at the head Of this i'm
porsant public work for about eighteen months, and
during that time he has displayed executive talents
OF the first order. No man could be more devoted
to his duties than he is. His watchfu eye Is tpon
