WHEAT BRAN,

81 If chemistry had rendered no high
or service to common life 'says the
Hearth and Home, than to analyze our
daily bread, it would have placed So
ciety under a perpetual obligation. 1t
is now generally understood that in
boiling ground wheat, the sieve takes
out the best and most nutritious parts
of the grain. A process has of late
been patented in England for grinding
the bran into fine powder and mixing
it with the flour. A German chemist
has discovered q method by which bran
may be blsached entirely white SO rs to
to its nutritiye power without affecting
its color.o

IrP This, we think, we can safely
say. There is 40 purpose a. the South
to shut the gates OF society against
persons on the simple ground that they
are from the North. There seems to
be disposition elmost general, TO Take
each one on his own merits. we say,
almost geaeral; for us we write frar.S KY,
we must admit there are violent ana
incorporating people among us, as
everywhere, who will never consent to
affiliate with Northern people on any
terms. They are, we think, few. The
prevailing temper is kindly and open.
We wish heartily that the harsh feelings
sngenGered by the war may pass away
and the time may soon come when the
Lion and the Lamb may lie down to-
gether,' leaving it of course to each
one to say which he regards as the Lion

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EAST TENN.
AND GEORGIA RAILROAD.

An accident of considerable magni-
tude occurred on this road, between
Cleveland and Chattanooga, on Fri
day. But few particulars had reached
this city up to the tine of writing this.
The most reliable report seemed to be
that, by the breaking of arail, four pas
sengcr coaches were thrown down an
emfankment. rollirg over several times
by which three OF four persons were
fatally and seventeen or eighteen less
severely injured. The train, of course,
missed connection, hence the meagre-
