FAILURE OF THE BosroN MECHANICAL BAKERY
Operations Suspended and the Bakery Closed 1.-The
announcement that the mechanical bakery, which
went into operation in Albany street few months
since with bright prospects of success has proved
failure, will be received by the friends of the I'M
dertakng with regret especially by that class
whom the bakery was intended to benefit, by sup
plying them with cheap bread. The experiment
at first appeared to be successful, but after while
it was observed that the soft bread baked in the
great automatic oven'' of MIR. Berdan became
very uneven in its quality-one day being under
and the next oyer-done. The public patronized the
bakery literally, if may credit the statements
OF the manager, who informed US that the bakery
was at one time daily converting something like
thirty barrels into bread, but the most Jealous pa
irons of the bakery could not be expected to feed
on dough to-day and burned bread tomorrow and
the result was that the bread carried out by the
delivery wagons was returned to the bakery in
large quantities About four tons of unsaleable
bread was thus thrown back upon the hands of the
corporation, who, after paying eight dollars per
barrel for the flour and the expense of converting
1t into bread, were obliged to sell it for cent and
half per pound to fatten hogs. Matters went ON
this way until about four weeks since when the
bakery ''shut down." the company having run
through their capital of $50, 900, and mourning
debts amounting to 900 additional The estab.
shment in Albany street is now closed and in pos
session of sheritf's keeper, and the company are
preparing to go into chancery. An assignee will
probably be appointed on Saturday next when the
property will be sold at auction. The failure of
the bakery is attributed to mismanag cement Under
different management it may prove success, and
realize the high hopes of the friends of the under
tsking.-Bostom Journal, April 9th.
THE WIDE-AwAKE PRocEssloNs OF NOVEMBER
The Funerals Of the Republics One of the most
prominent Republicans of Illinois, VIM. B. Ogden,
of Chicago, member of the State Senate, was
called upon few days since by a number of mer-
chants of Chicago, in reference to the present state
of public affairs, and what legislation, if any, was
proper to be taken by the State. In reply to what
said to him by the deputaton, Mr.. o. made
the following illusions to his own (Repubican)
party
He could,not in truth to his own conscientious
convctions-he would not say that the Republican
platform was not right as far abstract truth
was concerned; but he would say that the Repubi-
can party had made mistake. The doctrine of that
PLATFORM that there should be no more slave States,
could not be carried out. The attempt to carry it
out would put end to this Government. He sa W
the mistake which they had made before the cleo
ton, aud had anticipated the result. When, on the
evening after election, he stood in the house of
friend on Beacon street, in the city of Boston,
and saw the long procession of "Wide-Awakes'' go
by, with orces and banners and shouts of triumph,
lady standing him remarked, "Mr. Ogden,
you do not seem to enjoy it." "Madam," was his
| reply, 81 am never merry at a funeral" With
some surprise she inquired what he meant His
reply was, that he cleared the procession passing
would prove to be the funeral procession of the
| tion.''
