BREAD.-The following is the recipe
BY which the celebrated Vienna bread
was made. that became SO famous on
the Centennial grounds for its delicious
ness as to command four prices, indeed
to sell for far more than it was worth.
Sift in a tin pan four pounds Of -four,
bank it up against the sides. pour in
one quart Of milk and water, and mix
into it enough -four to form a thin bat
ter; then quickly and lightly add one
pint ofmilk, in which is dissolved one
ounce Of salt and one and three-quarter
ounces of yeast leave the remainder of
the -four against the sides Of the pan /;
cover the pan with a cloth and set in
place free from draught for tbree-quar-
ters Of an hour then mix in the rest Of
the -four until the dough will leave the
bottom and sides of the pan, and let it
stand TWO and half hours Final
ly, deEide the mass into one pound
pieces, to be cut in turn into twelve
parts each. This gives square pieces
about three and a half inches Thick,
each corner of which is taken up and
folded over to the centre, and then the
cases are turned over on a dough board
to rise for half an hour, when they arc
put into hot oven that bakes them 10
ten minutes. THE yeast is the Patent
Compressed Yeast" now generally
sold in the large towns and cities
The ingredients may be devided into
smaller proportions. SO that a single
One-pound loaf could be baked as well
as four one-pound loaves.

On HEUREODAI, 1uh AOi 1oi I.
This dryer was invented for the purpose of
saving part Of my own crop Of peaches in
1875. Thousands of baskets of fruit had
rotted in my orchard The Smocks and Late
White peaches were ready tc dry when be-
gan, yet the peaches dried after that with a
common stove without CRATE bars, sold for
two hundred dollars. I improved the dryer
greatly in 1876 and this year, and claim that
It will dry fruits and vegetables so that they
will be nearly as lightand rich in color when
they are dry as when put fresh in the eyapor
ator. That which darkens more fruit than
all else, is the vapor that is thrown off in
drying, and remains in the dryer until it
passes through all the fruit in the way to the
outlet.
My invention by the use of tubes takes the
greater part of that moisture out of the main
chamber without its passing through the
fruit, and also supplies DRY HEAT to every FIVE
trays continually, thus retaining the natural
color Of the fruit by quick drying. When
the fruit is nearly dry it is slid into mllder
heat in the finishing chamber.
The following certificates show what is
thought by those who have seen the fruit for
two years:

at 80 cts. per ID. The market had declined
at least five cts. per ID. on dried fruit since
the date of first sale, yet, the last lot being
the finest, we realized still higher figures for
them. AS regards the quality of your peaches,
there has been nothing in this market, that
we have seen, that were equal to them, par
tieularly of the last you sent and denomi-
mated first quality, they not only are beauti-
ful 10 the sight, but command ready sale at

TelegraphiC Summary.

SCRANTON, PA. 2--Reign of terror
dominant here. At close of dawn
to-day, the mine employees have held
possession Of the city, driving work.
men from all shops and the vigilance
committee was called out. The parties
met and exchanged shots, both being
we'll armed. Numbers were killed
and wounded. After the encounter
the strikers became desperate and
said they would clean out every shop
in the city where men were at work
They marched to Dickson's works
where a number of men were at
work, and here another bloody scene
was enacted.
LONDON, Aug, 1st.--'Phe Daily
(" News' correspondent tclcgraphing
from Bulgaria, gives a detailed ac-
count of fighting. The Turkish for
ces estimated at 10000, and are
strongely fortified. Russian forces
attacked the Turks and fought them
desperately until after nght-lall, but
were repulsed with great loss on both
sides.
New YORK, Aug. 6.-Turkish ger
erals continue to report Russian mas
sacres of Mohammedans, while Rus
slams report Turkish massacres Of
OF Christians. Both reports no doubt
are true.
The latest from Pasha is that the
Russians have again been defeated,
losing $1,000 killed and wounded.
Ex.Prcsident Grant arrived in Bel
ligio, Italy, Aug. 9th, and grand
fete was given in his honor.
An attempt to move some trains
in Wanamie failed, owing to strikers
uncoupling the engine from the cars.
Troops interGered and prevented
any further trouble. Many localities
the strikers have resumed work.
The Times has The following
special from London the 9Th: The
successes of the Turks have upset the
calculations of Bismarck, who is now
actively engaged in intrigue with
Russia in the expectation to influence
the latter to consent to the passage
of Russian reinforcements through
Servian territory to position of ad-
vantage on the Turkish left flank.
Austria wavers in the presence Of
the uncertainty Of action on part Of
the British Government, while the
latter is evidently anxious to let the
Turks ight it out, their successes
having much relieved the embarrass-
meut of the ministry Of England.
Much as she desires to maintain her
neutrality, she could hardly silently
permit an active combination of the
three emperors to rob Turkey of the
results of her victory.
