I.RGr DlvtDESD.-We invite attention To the Re-
mort of the Citizens Savings Bank, which will be found
In another column. A scmi-anuual dividend of six
ner cent will do pretty well for little institution ia
little village like Lynchburg. Commencing nj the
lowest roan of the ladder the Citizen Savings Bank
has gone IDLY increasing its business and gain
ING confidence, from year to year, until now il will
compare with any similar institution in the world.
NuHr MAIL DlscoSrISukp.-The Postmaster Gem
era has ordered diseontinuance of the night mail
between Washington aud Richmond. The order
into effect yesterday. In consequence of this arrange
ment there will but mail leave this place daily
for the North'-R Whsg.
By this arrangement the good people west % Rich
nond will be kept twenty four hours longer waiting
for their Northern letters and papers. The Northern
mail which, until the discontnuance of the night
mail arrived in Richmond at O'Clock A. NJ, and
came on the same day upon the Dtnyille and South
Side roads will reach Richmond Mt half past o.
clock nthe afternoon and remain there until o'clock
the next morning. Consequently we, OF l.ynebnrg
and all along the lines of the Dnnve and South
Side soads, will get our Northern papers and letters
Just day later than formerly. 1t is in the power of
the Postmaster General to this order of things
and he ought by all mems to do so, for with buSi
ness people time is really money.
Let the Danville start from Richmond
as the Northern mail reaches there Or, in that
be not done we join with the Wing in urging the
restoration of the mail to the Fredericksburg and Po
tomac road.

RECIPE FOR IoAF BREAD RoLLe.--We copy
from the Petersburg Express the following recipe for
making bread, the first premium for which was re-
ceived at the late fair in that city:

and tried by numerous lady readers: "Silt two
quarts of -four, and divide into three parts. Take one
egg and one table spoonful of sugar and beat to-
ether, half tea cap full Of yeast spoonful OF salt
pint of ukewaun water, stir well together. Mix

ARREsr--A free boy from Petersburg arrest
ed at the Depot of this place, on Wednesday last, by
officer Burton of Lynchburg charged with sealing
money in the former city. Such offences are not
lightly regarded in these times, and form rapid path
way to the penitentary.-l6
GlulEsoN's CRackERs Mr. Vim. Cost Johnson in
recent letter quoted in the Virginia Sentinel adro-
eating the advantages of direct trade between En-
rope and a point on the Chesapeake, enumerates the
products this section of country, and incidentally
speaks of the Jameson cracker long made in Al
exanra faviug world wide reputation, the quail
ity of the flour doubtless giving to the article s SUI
peror and unrivalled excellence The house OF a.
Jameson, like that of Rowland Il ASpinwall in New
York has descended through grand father. and faith
err aud SON. and still retains It's old character for the
excellence of its manufacture 1t used to be an an
ecdote of the elder JamieSon-a good and worthy
gentleman whom well remember-that he once
made a bet that George the Third had his name in
his mouth every day. And sure enough, it turned
out that the King, at his luncheon, invariably used
the Alexandria crackers, with the we-known stamp,
