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.
Tho heavens of Europe are lull of tho
portent* of coming storms. Prussia, uot

modern army, has been busying herself
with new organizations, new maumuvres,

A Canine Mail Carrier.— It is said

Death of a Prelate.
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

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.

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.
