The b. g. o. r. r., has at last about
concluded to build a passenger depot at
this point. A few days since one OF the
official. came hero TO con fer with a COM
mittee from the Town Council on the
snbiees of ground, &c. At first the rail-
road people seemed to think that the town
should give them the earth and a few
stars in consideration of the unparalleled
liberaIity Of the read in building depot
for the accommodation of their patrons.
They seemed to think 1t just terrible that
they might lose few feet of the railroad
ground If the town should extend the
street through TO the new depot and be-
vond. This would be sad, indeed, es-
pecially when il IS considered that the
proand was given to them by the town
along with the nght-of-way through the
commons a distance of half mile, with
extra ground for engine house, turn table,
car house, &c, which land would now be
worth some thousands of dollars. Besides
this the town took FIVE thousand dollars
of stock in the road in consideration OF
repair shops, &C., being located here. This
money the town had to pay with lew
thousands of accumulated interest. and
/ has not dollar of stock to show for It to
day, aud as for the repair shops, they
went into thin air long ago. But with IT
all the town must give them everything
they still choose to ask for land there
bow down to the dirt before the railroad
people will build decent accommodation
for the patrons Of their road at one of ths
best passenger points on the line.

Ammonia in Baking Powders.
From the Scientific American.


Among the recent discoveries in science
and chemistry, none is more important
than the uses to which common ammonia
can be properly put as leavening agent
and which indicate that this familiar salt
is hereafter to perform an active part IN
the preparation Of our daily food.
The carbonate Of ammonia is an ex-
ceedingly volatile substance. Place
small portion of it upon knife and hold
over a flame, and it will almost i'm
mediately be entirely developed into gas
and pass of into the air. The gas thus
formed Is a simple composition Of nitrogen
and hydrogen. 10 residue is left from the
ammonia. This gives it its superiority az
a leayeding 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 leaving agent
When it is acted upon by the heat OF
baking, tho leavening gas that raises the
dough is liberated. In this act it uses
itself up, as it were; the ammonia is en-
tirely difIused, leaving no trace or residuum
whatever. The light, fluffy, faky APP
pearance, so desirable in biscuits. etc,
and so sought after by professional cooks
is said 10 be impaired to them only by the
use Of this agent.
The bakers and baking powder manu-
iacturers producing the finest goods have
been quick to avail themselves OF this
useful discovery, and the handsomest and
bOst bread and cake are now largely risen
by the ard of ammonia combined, oil
course, with other leavening material.
Ammonia is one Of the best known pro-
ducts of the laboratory If, as seems 10
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, 1t VIII
prove boon to dyspeptic humanity, and
will speedily force itself into general us'
IN the new field to which science has as
signed it.

March sthe most abominable month in
the whole year, and this season it seems
to be trying TO add to its reputation in
that line by seeing how miserably mean it
can act. 1t is neither spring, summer,
fall nor winter Just simply March. Warm,
cold, dry, muddy, dusty, deceitful March.
1t knows that every other month in the
year hasa contempt for it,and like mean,
low fellow, conscious Of his meanncss and
the fact that he is despised by all his
fellow men, it takes a malicious pleasure in
doing all it possibly can to deserve its
reputation.
