FoTATo Starch for Bread. — At ihia late hour, we 

 :ake occasion to acknowledge the receipt of a quantity 

 )f potato starch, from our miicli es'ceraed brother, Eras- 

 us Parker of Waterbiiry, who, aa we understand, is a 

 jartner in the business of manufacturing it. We under- 

 itand that, in these times of scarcity, it is u.=ed to some 

 rxtent for bread, in the north part of the Slate. A bar- 

 el of ii is tlioug-ht to bo worth more for food, than a 

 )arrel of wheal flour, and can ordinarily be afforded al 

 ibout liie same price. Thi; w;iy to use it, is to mix it 

 vith flour in about equal quantities. — Vermont Tele-
