A NEW KIND OF BEEAD.-A method
bas been discovered of making bread With
out grinding the corn, and patent has
been taken out for the process IL y said

that 100 lbs. of grain will yield only 1l2

Not many years since It was fashionable
for Western people to send east for editors,
business men. spectators or capitalists.
Now the case is somewhat reversed. Men
graduated in country Offices and called to
occupy seats in first-class Offices of the
East, where Western talent, pluck, snap,
vim, ambition and determination are needed,
to infuse new life and energy into the cdi-
torial fraternity of the East, which has lost
so much of late years by emigration.
That West is "a funny country They
build railroads ont there quicker than a
man would trade horses in New England
They make cities there while man and bis

into Young Mems Christian Associations,

that in his presence, and in the presence

deposition, or confession, was handed into

on the stern of his boat on the afternoon Of
the day on wh the deed was committed,
and, farther, that Harry was not on the

How to Do It.

Let ten congenial men, remarks the
Cincinnati Times, with their congenial
families, purchase one hundred acres, more
or less, midway between any two stations
on either Of our railways, at a convenient
distance, then sub-divide it into five or ten
acre lots, to be apportioned according to
their comparative values. Then build neat
cottages upon these lots, and move home.
" hat would be the result ? In the first
place the settlement would have q station
for its accommodation.
In the second place, the land would be
worth three times what was paid for it
With the pscspect IF ita. .EisinG -6Ea Salai

$1,000 out Of 81 900 in the land, with the

Of persons with limited means To accom-
piish this result, let ten or more persons
associate together under an arrangement to
set apart certain portion Of their wages or
salaries for the purpose. Probably two
thirds Of them would in ten years be worth
$4,000 each, against nothing without
such encouragement. Is it not worth try
ing? Nothing can be lost by it, since suf-
icient checks can be devised to prevent
loss by unfaithfu agents
