Bad Bread.

The amout of injury done to the tender
stomachs of young children, invalids and
sedentary persons by eating bad bread
day after day, from one years end to
another, must be enormous. A cook
who cannot make good bread Of every
description ought not to be allowed house
room for an hour; and the mother is
criminally negligent, whatever may be her
position, who does not teach her daughter
TO know what good bread is and how to
make it. Alum is used to give white
ness, softness and capacity Of retaining
moisture. Lime could be employed with
equal effect having the advantage Of
correcting any sourncss in the bread or
stomach; besides iaffording an important
ingredient for making the bone strong.
Every housekeeper should know how to
make two or three kinds of bread

THE PEST HOUSE.

The Steubenville Herald Of last Fri
day evening says: 1.-THE smallpox
from present indications, is likely to
become an epidemic in this city. There
were three deaths yesterday, and three
or four new cases developed, making in
all some thirty or thirty-Ave, as nearly
as We are able to learn. While the
authorities have been reasonably dill
dent, efforts were not made as promptly
to circumscribe its limits as should have
been. Had a pest house been provided
some weeks ago. as insisted upon in
these columns, the disease would not
have spread at all-at least such is the
prevailing opinion and the reasonable
presumption"
We trust that our own city councils
will not any longer trifle with the pub,
lie interests in relation to this matter,
but take steps at once for the establish
ment OF a suitable hospital for the
segregation of smallpox patients.

The Grand Central Hotel.

This superb, colossal structure, on
Broadway, New York, is still attracting
the attention Of the press Of the country.
1t seems to be an acknowledged rendez-
vous for travellers from every cline. A
visitors glance at the multItudes that
daily and nightly throng its spacious
halls and ample exchanges, will confirm
the fact that it really finds accommoda-
ton for nearly two thousand guests.
In keeping with It's size and splendor,
II. Lyman Powers, its proprietor, has
conducted it with untiring energy, upon
scale of hospitable liberality hitherto
unknown in the history of hotel man
agement.
Its sudden innovation upon the ex-
orbitant rates charged by other first
class hotels-adopting prices from one
to two dollars less per day-has been
the subject OF various editorial notices
throughout the country, and we heartily
add our concurrence in this much need
ed reform. The Grand Central is gen.
orally found to be the New York resi-.
dence of our leading public men, and
majority OF visiting foreigners. Indeed,
the fame of the "Grand Central" at
home has "gone abroad" 1t is what
Victor Hugo, in Paris, would call ZINE
Grands Palais Royale," and visitors will
find what has been said OF it is true.

Littell's Living Age.

Year by year those who wish to
keep themselves informed in the litera-
ture of the day come more generally to
recognize The Living Age as the best
means for attaining that end within the
reach OF persons of moderate leisure"
This is owing to the fact that THE Liv-
ing Age, being published in weekly
numbers of sixty.four pages each, gives
more than three thousand double-column
octave pages Of reading matter yearly,
and is thereby enabled to present with
q satisfactory completeness, nowhere else
attempted, whatever is OF immediate
interest or permanent value in the vast
and generally accessible mass Of for
eign periodical literature,-a literature
embracing the productions Of the ablest
living writers in every department,
whether relating TO history, biography,
fiction, poetry, wit, science, politics,
theology, criticism or art. As fresh
and thorough weekly complication,
therefore, of the admirable and note.
worthy in current literature, including
the ablest and most interesting essays,
reviews, serial and short stories, poetry,
scientific, historical and political infor-
nation, it has become invaluable, in the
great and growing multiplicity of quar-
terlies, monthlies and weeklies, to every
person or family Of intelligence and
taste. The highest critical authorities
OF the country unite in pronouncing it
1.-The best of all our electric publca.
tions."
The subscription price Us Year, is
cheap in proportion to the amount Of
reading matter furnished; but for those
who desire the cream Of both home and
foreign literature a still cheaper offer is
made by the publishers (Littell & Gay,
Boston, viz: for SO, they will send
The Living Age, weekly, and either one
of the leading American 81 monthlies,

Winter Wisdom.

Warm clothing alone will not protect the
body against the consequences Of the sud-
den depression oftemperature which is con-
comitant of early winter. Flannel next the
skin preserves the animal heat, but 1t does
not impart animal vigor. That property is
the special prerogatiye of Hostetter's stom-
ach Bitters, which is therefore specific
protection against q majority Of the COM
plants which are most common at this
season. For example, O course Of the great
vegetable invigorant, commenced now,
will be almost sure to preclude chills and
fever, bilious collie, disorders of the stomach,
constipation, and many other complaints
which are often the direct or indirect effect
of an atmosphere surcharged with cold, I'M
wholesome vapor. Moreover, the system
toned and regulated by this means is much
more likely to resist pulmonary disease
than it would otherwise be; for the infiu-
ence of searching medicine pervades all the
organs, and every fiber and tissue Of the
frame. Persons whose vital powers are
weak, especially invalid ladies and the
aged, are earnestly recommended not to
face the winters rigor without having re-
course to this safe and sufficient means OF
reinforcing enfeebled nature. Much suf-
fering may be escaped, much danger avert
ed by following this council. Better late
than never, is a good proverb, but 1t is bet
ter to be early than late.

A.Imnortaut Document,

EDIroR SENTINEL II made q visit tc
Harrison county last week, where
found Ex-Governor johnson and T. ],
Minor busily engaged preparing sta
tistical table Of the population Of the
counties of this State, and the amour,
OF taxes on personal property and real
estate paid into the Treasury of the
State BY those counties respectively.
They intend, believe, when com
pleted, to circulate this document among
the citizens Of the counties opposed to
the permanent location of the Capital
at Charleston, and also to submit copies
thereof to the assembled wisdom Of the
State at the ensuing Convention. An
nexed you have synopsis Of their
work, which please publish in the Sen
tinel
A careful examination Of the paper
induces me to believe that the members
OF the Convention will consult the best
interests and convenience Of their con-
stituency, by locating the Capital per
mauently at place more desirable in
all respects than Charleston. Such a
place can be found anywhere on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad east OIL
Parkersburg.
The following statement is copied
from the Auditors report of 1870:

Mr.. A. w. CAMPBELL stated in an
article published in the IntelEgencsr last
Saturday some interesting facts in rela,
ton to the proposed railroad to the
Northwest, in addition to those given
editorially in the REGISTER, and
strongly inclines to the opinion
that our people would better unite
with the Lake Shore and Tusca-
rawas Valley company and make their
road part Of our line. He estimates
the cost of railroad from Wheeling
Island to Dennison (including bridge
over Back river) at two millions Of dol
lars, and adds:
Ofthe two millions, however, that are
estimated as the cost from Dennison to
the Island three-quarters OF a million
will be provided for by the Lake Shore
and Tuscarawas company as part OF
the expense necessary to carry the road
on its way to Marietta. This three.
quarters Of a million is the estimated
cost of the work for sixteen miles, to a
place called Freeport, which is nearly
west of us, at which point the road will
branch off in case it comes this way at
all. Freeport is about thirty eight miles
from Wheeling, and the estimated cost
10 that point is q million and quarter
of dollars. or this sum the company
will expect, as we are informed, the
various interests of this end OF the route,
and between the river and Freeport to
raise eight hundred thousand dollars.
Within the last few days confer
ence has taken place at Cleveland
between the leading men Of the Lake
Shore and Tuscarawas Valley company
and few Of the representative men OF
Wheeling and Bridgeport. Atthis con.
ference the project Of bringing the road
here was fully discussed. Our repre-
seniatives found the company fully alive
to the merits Of the project and entirely
willing to undertake it in case sufficient
interest is manifested at this end OF the
route. They are going to Marietta
with their read. or, in other words, to
Caldwell, in Noble county, to which
point q road is already built from
Marietta, and if the people of Wheeling
and of the Wheeling Creek Valley in
Ohio see ct to join hands with them at
Freeport, they will build q branch
direct to our doors on the Island. This
is their proposition, and some of the
directors OF the company will be here
within the next few days to confer with
a still larger number OF our representa-
tive people on the subject, and ascertain
what prospect there is of the city and
citizens putting their shoulders to the
vbsel. .Tga ? 4. EGsG0G 20 y.rE-

REMOVING THE CAPITAL.

We copy from the Grafton Sentinel Of
last Saturday a tabular statement Of the
population, property, &c, in the coun'
ties supposed to be in favor Of the reten'
ton Of the State Capital at Charleston,
compared with that in counties supposed
to be opposed to that location. In the
catalogue of those opposed to Charles
ton are placed a number of counties
whose opposition to that place is condi'
tional and dependent upon their being
permitted to name some other locality
to suit themselves, but which would
probably be quite as unacceptable to
other counties in the list as is the pres,
ent location. And in this consists the
fatal defect Of all such calculations as
that we refer to. 1t is easy to show
that a majority Of the people prefer
some other place for the permanent
seat Of government in the State, but it
is no, so easy to designate the precise
locality that would suit them better.
1t would perhaps be very easy to mn'
settle the location Of the Capital, but it
would be a work Of great difficulty to
settle it again. We believe, therefore,
that until the people OF the State have
agreed upon the locality to which they
desire to have the seat OF government
transferred, they would better not re-
open the vexatious question. During
several years the Capital question ex'
ercised more or less influence upon
every act of legislation in the
State. A dozen or more localities
warred with each other for the selection
and were only able to unite to defeat
each other in detail. There are no
indications that this strife would not be
Immediately renewed to the continued
detriment OF the public interests, just so
soon as an attempt is made to change
the present location. 1t is not likely
that the members OF the Constitutional
Convention will be able to agree readily
upon a new site, nor is it at all
probable that the people Of the State
are 30 united in sentiment as to the
place to be selected as to ratify the
action OF the Convention in designating
locality for the Capital. Rather than
have the Convention spend its time In
wrangling upon this question, and ther
run the risk of the total defeat OF the
new Constitution by designating loca
ton that cannot receive the approva
Of a majority Of the people OF the State
it would be a thousand times better t.
drop all controversy on the subject, anc
permit the Capital to remain at Charles
ton forever. Whenever it can be showr
that majority of the people are il
favor, not simply Of removal, but Of thu
permanent establishment of the Capita
at some previously designated spot, WI
will favor the transfer; but we earnestl!
deprecate the kindling Of firebranc
that may destroy the work Of the Con
yention.
