rilNutr* oi llu Mo* t top—i tirrot rt.klog Expected. Cincinnati, Doc. 21.—The number of hogs slaughtered iu Ohio from the first of November whs 330,000. Thu Superintendent of the Chamber of Commerce, Sidney D. Maxwell, who has been gathering pork packing statistics for the Chamber, submitted a preliminary re port to-uay, from which it appears that one iiuudred ami three towns and cities iu the V>st, exclusive of Cincinnati, St. Louis and Louisville, had pneked up to Terii'Ua dates, rangiug from December 3 to the present time, live hundred and eighty-nine thousand hogs. The esti mates lor the remainder of the season, »«de by the packers in these places, ag gregate 1,293,300, muking the whole unm- s places, which embrace near ly ail the principal packing points of the W est, exclusive of the four cities uamed, oue mil.mu eight hundred and eighty-five thousand hogs. This would make an in crease over the last year for the whole 8e;isou iu the»e places of two hundred and ninety-five thousand, or eightecu and fifty-six hundredths per cent. The re mainder of the West, not including the four cities uauied, packed last year six hundred and thirty-oue thousand. If the increase in those places unheard from ~hou!d be in the same ratio, and a like in- so take place iu Cincinnati Chicago, ruin's and Louisville, it would umko *'hole increase four hundred and sev- entv-Uve thousand, and iu tho remainder of tho West lour hundred and twelve thousand. i bis would make an aggre gate increase iu the whole West of eight hundred uud eighty-seven thousand, and would moke the aggiegate packing ot the West for the season live millions tix hun dred and seventy thousand. The report states, however, that the Humber to packed in the four largo cities named will bu controlled by contingen cies that might change this estimate us to these cities. St. Louis is already claim ing that sho will j.'.ck 575,000, which would be an increase over last year of 37 per cent. Of eighty-fi.ur cities and towns that re port on the matter of weight, fifty-three report the hogs heavier than last year, tw- nty report them about the same, and eleven report them lighter. With reference to lard, of seventy-nine places, forty report the yield from leaf and trimmings heavier; twenty-six report 'bl- nit the same, and thirteen report tho ield lighter. Europe Arming to the Teeth. Spain, we suppose, is about to take her place in the hat ot armed nations. On the 13th mst. a bill providing for univer sal and compulsory military service was x d iu the Cortes. It will provoke htioiig objections, but m tho naturo of things it w til probably pass. France, Hus ain and Austria have all followed the ex ample of i russia uud the German Empire *u substituting nu armed nation for a mi ni anuy ; and uvoiy other country of >po which hopes to preserve its inde pendence must do likewise. Never, since the ernis of the ol 1 Napoleonic wurs, has Uncut been in such u bustle of martial preparation. The terrible Fruuoo- Geruntil war, so far from ending with the owot pence in tin* skies, closed up under ctiuopy ot the blackest of war clouds.

A Canine Mail Carrier.— It is said that the officers of tho signal service on Mount Washington are trying to teach a dog to carry the mail to and from that fetation.

While wo are on those subjects relating to that establishment which has made modern Home what it is—the lioinau Catholic Church—1 will mention tho death of tho “Master of tho Sacred Pal ace, tho Very Hcvorend Father Mariauo Spud*. Any of you who were iu Home three or four yours ago, when tho spectacular ceremonies at St. Peter's were celebrated, may probably remember on the great days of Christmas, A c., several clerygmcii who always took their seats *»u the lowest step of the Pope's thr no. Among them was Monsignor Nurdi, Audit or of the Hutu, and a Domie*- •« priest. 'liitH Dominican was F, hpada, “Magisttr Sttrri PaUitii." Also, if you look oil that tul le.it of any book published in Homo during tho EccleNiasticul regime you will see, among other names, “Fa ther Spnda”—for tho principal exterior fnin lion of the Muster of the Suered Pal- uce was the Censorship of the press. The origin of tho office of “Master of the Suered Palace" is extremely interest ing. Apropos to Father Spada’s death, a very intelligent and spirituello friend told mu this history: in the Thirteenth Cen tury, St. Domiuio lived on tho Aventiue hill, with Pope llonoritia 111. The con vent of the Dominicans, which had just been established, adjoined the Pontifical fortress. You can sou tho place now, Sta Sabine, where you go to admire Sasso- fernto’s beautiful Virgin, and, while there, doubtless tho sacristan will show you, as he always does me, through a little win dow ot tfie cloisters, a lemon tree planted by St. Dominic when he was a recluse within those walls. St. Domiuio obsorved, ono day, that tho minor uffieers of the Papal Household, when ott duty, indulged in amusement not only unbecoming to their cloth, but »‘1h«k profano. This he reported to the Pope, and suggested that some priest should bo appointed to give them relig ious instructions, and that they should be obliged to attend these conferences. Accordingly, Pope Ilonorius adopted this plan, and further asked St. Dominic him sell to perform this duty; he also gave to him the title of “Master or l'roeeptor of the Suered Pulnoe.” This office has been behl ever since St. Dominic's time by a brother of that order.—Homan Letter. 1 ho Greenville Advocote tells the fol lowing : “A few days since, wbilo we were iu tho office of Judge Watson, a boy enmo in and asked the Judge to grunt him a marriage license. Upon the Judge's nskiiig his age, he replied that he was going on seventeen years old. A lady accompanied him, the mother of the girl to whom lie wanted to marry, who stated that her daughter was about 14 years old. Tho Judge said, ‘My son, I am sorry to disappoint you ; but the law of the State forbids mo granting licotiso to persons under seventeen years of age— the girl must be over fourteen.' Our young man left, determined to take an- oth< r look ut the family record in the old Btl*le, telliug the Judge he thought it was more than probable that ore the sun set in the western horizon ho would bo back, aimed with the proper documents show ing that he had lived to see tho coming of seventeen winters; and sure enough, just as tho Judge was closing up, our young candidate for matrimony rode up, showed his certificate, and received the document that was iu a short while to make him u happy married man.” The Williamsport Horror. Williamsport, Pa., Deo. 2fi.—A terri ble (hhuKler occurred here on Christmas night at the Baptist church, during the process of a Christinas ceremony. The upper floor where the entertainment was being held, and upon which three hun dred persons had asaembled, gave way under tho weight and precipitated the mass of humanity below. Heartrending scones ensued. Several times the wreck caught fire, but the flames as often were extinguished. After some time the dead aud living were taken from under the ruins. Tho following were killed: John Rich ard, Boyd Mcllaffey, Mrs. Duncan Camp bell and two children, a child of C. V. McMinnes, Sadie Moffett. Mary Fiaber, Lizzie Buskin, Grace Neuman, Lillie Ru der, a boy named Sherman, a child of John Bubb, a Mrs. John Wilkinson. Some forty or fifty were wounded. A Ghastly Railhod Joke.—The Pough keepsie Eagle tells this story : “One night Inst w-'.ek a Hudson Hiver Railroad engineer, while going north with bin train at lightning spi cd, suddenly observed a man on the truck. He blew his whistle several times as a signal for danger, bnt ho didn't move. In vain he endeavored to stop the train, it was too late. The engine struck the man with foroe, completely annihilating him. ine man was made of snow, and was placed on the traok by a joker. An attempt had been previously made to play the same trick on another engineer, but he detected the cheat by (he whiteness of the effigy. The last one however, after being placed up on tho track, was blackened with soot from a locomotive smoke-stack. It hr i been t scertained, after a careful compilation tbut no joke has appeared in • Philadelphia papa; piaw I05fi, Regard to the ^Disposition of the County Funds—Important to Holders of County Orders.—A petition was in ado by Philips A Son, to the Superior Court, setting forth that thoy held the oldest oounty order, and asking the Conrt to issue a mandamus agaiust the County Treasurer commanding him to pay their order out of the money bo might have in his hands. The Treasurer replied that the County Commissioners had levied taxes for spe cific purposes, and had instructed him to keep sepurate accounts of each specific fund, and to pay orders only ont of tho fund drawn upon; that tho old debts against tho county were so largo that the taxes could not pay current expenses and all the debts; but that the Commissioners had raised only $15,000 to pay old debtH. The Judge decided that tho law gave the Commissioners the power to do this, and that tho old debts could only be paid out of tho $15,000 specially raised for that purpose. This sum was to be paid to the orders according to dato; and if there were orders of the same dato more than enough to consume tho whole, they should be paid pro rata. Tho order of Philips A Son being tho oldest order, tho Judge ordered that it bo paid in full out of tho $15,000 when it should be received by the Treasurer. The Treasurer, under this decision, will pay out the balance of tho $15,000 to orders according to dato ; And tho bulutico of the orders loft unpaid will remain until other taxes are levied to pay thorn. Run Off on tub Southwestern Rail road.—The mail train on tho Southwest ern Railroad, duo bore at 11:30 a. m. yes terday, run off the track a few miles be yond Geneva, by which several persons wore slightly bruised, but none seriously hurt. The worst bruises were received by Mis. Pournell and child of this city. Tho rear car, containing most of tho pus- seugors, turned over down a slight em bankment, aud it HoeniH little less than a juiraclo that all escaped with such slight bruises. Among the passcugers was President Wad ley, of the Central Rail road. Tho accident wus caused by tho spreading of tho truck. Mr. Wadloy tele graphed the accident to this city, and Mr. Clurk sent out tho Mobile A Girard train to bring in the mails and passengers. This train returned to Columbus about 4 o'clock p. in. None of tho cats, we learn, were budly Hiuaslied up iu tho run off. Severe Weather.—Tho Into snnp has bceu very trying to rickety people. Up to this time we have Lad a great number of heavy freezo9, aud during tho past two weeks much cloud}’ weather, with consid erable raiu has fallen. A slight fall of snow occurred yesterday morning when tho temporuturo, to our feelings, war. about the lowest of the winter. During tho forenoon the sun came out much to the gratification of everybody, and but for the cold north • ,.t wind the day would have been pleasant. A heavy freeze was among tho probabilities for this section lust night. Wi res pre die! that the severity of the winter up t this time will insure au early uud favora ble spring. Reflections Ui*on the Clohini Wo have now come to tho Lisl Sabbath, uud almost the last day, of the year 1872. Tho old year now dying, lias been wlmt reiiiarkublo for its great puhlie dis asters, as well us its almost iiiniiiiiorable lesser calamities; and, as the time draws nour to wrap its mantle around it and lie down in tho grave of its fathers, it seems to be struggling in ith lusl agonies to make for itself a nnuio on the calendar of time. Disasters to human life by fire and Hood, by wind and weather, by carthquukos and famine, have couio upon us thick utid fast; and wo tiro continually ndvised by telegraph, of new horrors that are occur ring iu almost every quarter of the globo. Our bolovod South hns uot boon exempt from tho swooping tide of calamity—for the floods have devastated tho crops in many portions of it, nud poverty's bund has grapplod with many of thoso who havo made, uud aro making still, an honcHt effort to work out their temporal salvu tion. Freshets, drought, the worm nud the caterpillar, have blighted the onet fair prospects of many, who at the open ing of the yoar indulged the fond dream of peaco and plenty. Death, too, hns entered many a happy household, and the fairest flowers that bloomed around the domestic hearth have puled before liis icy touch. But this is the record of ull years. It seems to be the method God bus chosen for impressing liis majesty upon tho world. Men are so constituted they cau not bear a long continued prosperity ; and under its exhilarating glow, like the man of old, they ‘/wax fat and kick," and aro disposed to inquiro sneeringly, “Who is God, that I should sorvo Him ?” From such a pinnacle of self-exaltation the Almighty, in His inscrutable wisdom aud mercy, chooses to lot tho shudows full, and sends out His judgments to toach men their utter dependence upon Him, and iustill into their souls the important lessons of humility and gratitude. But we of this Southern land, amidst ull the evils which have been turned loose upon the world in the past twelve months, have had mercy mingled with wrath, and find abundant cause for being grateful toward our gracious Heavenly l ather. Our mis fortunes havo not been so numerous or grievous ab those which have fallen to tho lot of others. The earth has uot withheld her increase, und in a very important par ticular wo now occupy a belter position than for some yours past. The South has been exempt from destructive fires, with few exceptions, as well as from every dreadful pcatilenco. All things consid ered, then, have we not a good reason to be contented aud happy ? Aud now let us review tho year about to close, correct as far as possible its known mistakes, and determine that for the coming year—the grace of God assisting us—we will make marked aud decided improvements at points where heretofore we huve failed. “Hhall we evor foar What another year Shill of pleasure or ot pain rocord ? All God sends is beat— On bis word we rest— Cheerfully, cheerfully, praise the Lord." TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. Simmons’ Liver Regulato s a preventive or cure. urh no equal France—M.

The Bridges Again.—Tho question of again tolling tho bridges has to some ex tent agitated tho minds of business inou during the post week, and as tho matter will come before Council Mouduy night, it may not bo out of place for us to ulludo to it again. In doing so, wo aro prompt ed by no personal or selfish considera tions, ns individually it affects us but lit tle either way. We do so at the roquost of merchants aud business men whusu interests will be affected thoreby, and with whom we feel strongly identified. As we said the other day, many of these oppose tho measure of tolling tho bridgos, preferring to be taxed to keep them up, and if those who pay the taxes want freo bridges they should have them. The bad roods leading into the city from Alabama aro obstructions serious enough to turn aside numbers who, with good roads and froe bridges, might be induced to corno here. We are surrouudod by rival towns, and to compete successfully with them 99W9B hum potty iudmtw «• stead of crentiug impediments we should open wide onr gates and offer every pos sible inducement to tho people of the surrounding section to give ns their pat ronage. It is said by tho advooates of toll bridges that our business has not been increased by froe bridges. How is this kuowu ? Most of our merchants claim that thoir trade this season has been iucronscd nearly a third ovor that of last seuson, aud who can say how much of this may bo attributed to free bridges ? Wo do not seo that “Old Fogy ism” or “Youug Americanism'' has anything to do with tho matter. Tho question is one of solf interest, aud until it can be proven that the interests of the city will bo sub served by tubing tho bridges, thoy had hot I or bo allowed to remain os they nro. Whilo on tho subject of bridges, wo would again call tho attention of the Russell county commissioners to the ravino bridgo near *8quiro Harris’, in Girard. It is in a dilapidated oud dun- gerotiH condition, and unless speedily looked after it will cause tho death of somebody or tho ruin of a wagon and team. A bridge at this point is of tho first importance to this city, and if the county is determined uot to robuild nor repair, the city authorities should take tho matter iu hand. The pooplo of Rus sell nro heavily tnxed, and it is about time their iuterost in roads and bridges was being looked nfter. Lot tho Com- niinsionerH give out tho coutrnct for this bridge to a roliublo mechanic without fuithor parley or delay. Coldest of the Season.—Tho tber- momoter yesterday morning in Middle- brook's baek yard indicated 22 dogroes, and at Mr. Cook’s rosidotico, a milo from town, 20 degrees above zero. That's tol erable cool for this latitude. Wo notice a unmbor of boys skating on ico ponds on Broad street. Watch Night.—Tuesday night, Doc. "•1st, is to bo obsorvod by tho several Methodist churches of this city and vicin ity as “Watch Night." Union sorvicos will bo held at 8t. Luke's church, com mencing ut 10 o'clock. All who feel tbut they cau enjoy and appreciate such ser vices aro cordially iuvitod to nttoud pnd participate. COLUMBUS COTTON MARKET. Cotton.—Market closed quiet und un changed.
