Political.

Concord, May 49, At q meeting of the Gov.
and Council, this forenoon, Frank II. Cufrier Of
Hooksett sentenced in May, "A, by the court in
Hsbury Co., to three years in State prison, for
horse stealing, was pardoned.
John p. Bartlett Of Manchester, was appointed
police justice Of that city, in the place Of Jos. W.
Fellows, resigned.
Adjourned till Monday afternoon.
The Monitor, the republican organ of the State,
calls for the impeachme mt of Governor Weston,
in an editorial this evening, as follows:
"Gov. Weston, having committed an act of
gross usurpation, must not be permitted to escape
the penalty for his crime. He must be impeached.
1t is mistake to suppose this cannot be done
after his term of office expires. The house can
present articles Of impeachment for mal-adminis
tration while in office. The senate can try and a
majority of that body will convict him. and the
penalty disqualification to hold or to enjoy any
place Of honor under this State-can be enforced
Westons mal-administration is thousand times
more fsgrant than that charged against Andrew
johnson, and the safety and perpetuity of free
government demand that he be impeached and
the full penalty for his fagitious crime be en-
forced"
The article creates considerable of sensation
here and may possibly foreshadow a course to be
pursued by the party.

Less Of yutriti0a.

Fermentation is process of decay
which destroys nutrition. The first part
ofthe fermentation of yeast bread affects
the sugar which has been produced
from the starch, and breaks it up into
alcohol and carbonic acid gas. The lat
ter, as it expands, makes the bread
light, result which is attained i'm hy-
gienic bread by the imprisonment and
expansion of atmospheric air. The
quantity of alcohol and carbOnic acid
gas developed, is a measure OF the nu-
triton destroyed. That these are con-
siderable, is evident from the lightness
of the bread, and from its indigestibility
when new. As these are very volatile,
they are beth entirely dissipated in the
course of twenty-four hours.
So large is the amount ofalcohol, that
the attempt has been made repeatedly
to collect and preserve it during the
process of baking, which expels the
most of il from the loaf. One DIR. Hicks
of London, undertook this once, at an
expense of some 500. 900 for machinery
and bakery, and would have made a fine
success of it, but that the other bakers
circulated SO many false reports about
the matter that the people refused to
purchase the bread. One of these was,
that DIR. Hicks extracted all the spirit
from his bread, while theirs contained
the whole, which, of course, must be
far more nutritious and wholesome.
This ''blew the cap off from his still" !"
as he says, otherwise the alcohol col
lected, and which is ordinarily entirely
wasted, would have remunerated him
handsomely.
