The Grand Union.

Dr. F.J. Whittemore, owner of the Grand Union Hotel property, has brought summary process against Mrs. Lillie Futile and Ezra L. Post, proprietors, for the purpose of getting possession of the property. The case came up before Justice George R. Cooley yesterday morning. Attorney Jacocks appeared for Whittemore and H. F. Hall for the hotel people. A continuance was asked for and the hearing went over until August 29.
 The suit was brought for the purpose of putting the landlord in possession of his property. The delay obtained by Attorney Hall did not suit Dr. Whittemore and he se- cured the services of Lawyer Hugh Daley, who prepared the necessary papers to throw the Grand Union Hotel proprietors into in solvency. Constable Catlin served notice at the noteI and was unable to obtain cash col lateral or its equivalent and consequently the necessary return was made to the Probate court.

The carbonate of ammonia is an exceed ingly volatile substance. Place a small DOT ton of it upon 8 knife and hold over flame, and it will almost immediately be entirely developed into gas and pass off into the air. The gas thus formed is a simple composition of nitrogen and hydrogen. No residue is left from the ammonia. This gives it its superi- ority as leavening power over soda and cream of tartar used alone, and has induced its use as a supplement to these articles. A small quantity of ammonia in the dough is effective in producing bread that will be lighter, sweeter, and more wholesome than that risen by any other 1eavening agent. When it is acted upon by the heat of baking the leavening gas that raises the dough is liberated. In this act it uses itself up, as 1t were; the ammonia is entirely diffused, leav- ing no trace or residuum whatever. The light, fluffy, haky appearance so desirable in bis cults, etc., and so sought after by professional cooks, is said to be imparted to them only by the use of this agent.
 The bakers and baking powder manufac- turers producing the finest goods have been quick to avail themselves of this useful dis covery, and the handsomest and best bread and cake are now largely risen by the aid of ammonia, combined, of course, with other leavening material.
 Ammonia is one of the best known pro- ducts of the laboratory. If, as seems to be justly claimed for it, the application of its properties to the purposes of cooking results in giving us lighter and more wholesome bread, biscuit and cake, it will prove boon to dyspeptic humanity, and will speedily force itself into general use in the new field to which science has assigned it.
