Here is something which will prove of much interest to many; it was gathered up by a widow lady aged 65 years: "The Bible contains 3,556,489 letters; 810,697 words; 81,172 verses; 1,189 chapters; 66 books. The word 'and occurs 46,227 times; 'Lord, 1854: 'reverend' only once, and that in the 111th Psalm. The 27th verse of the 7th chapter of Ezra contains the alphabet. The 19th chapter of the 2d book of Kings and the 37th chapter of Isaiah are alike. The first man re corded as buried in a coffin was Joseph, 50th chapter of Genesis aud 26th verse. Nowhere but in the 1st chapter of Timothy is the word grand mother mentioned. Two particularly fine chapters to read you will find are the 2d of Joel and the 20th of Acts. There is no name or word of more than six syllables in the Holy Bible." Williamsport O, & B. The election in Pennsylvania next year will be for a Governor.

The cause of the debate on emigration in the Reichstag yesterday was an item in the home estimates for 18,000 marks, which was to be used to discourage emigration from Germany to the United States. Baron Von Bottisher, Secretary of State, in reply to a Deputy who la mented that the emigration statistics of the present year already reached tho unprecedented number of 200,000, Inci dentally slated that the Government hoped to Introduce the promised billon the subject early in the spring. A Liberal Deputy, who said he lived for a long time in the United States, de clared that Germans were attracted thither by the certainty of finding everything which they vainly asked from their Government at home.

HOW IT BEDISTRf CtED THE STATE E roRE ADJOURNMENT. S. . Pittsburg, Nov. 26.-The Supreme Court adjourned yesterday after mak ing an order changing the gupreme Court districts of, the State. The action was In pursuance of authority conferred by the act of May 5, 1876, which empowers the court to change and transfer any of the counties of the commonwealth from any of the dis tricts of said court. ' TLe order trans fers the following counties from the Middle to tbe Eastern district; Bed ford, Blair, Cumberland, Centre Col umbia, Clinton,' Clearfield,' Cameron, Elk, Fulton, Huntingdon, Juniata, Lancaster, Xycoming, Lebanon, M lfUin, Montour, McKean, Northura bcrland, Perry, Potter, Snyder, Tioga, Sullivan, Uniou, Warren and York.' COUNTIES TRANSFERRED. The following counties are trans ferred from the Western to the East ern district: Armstrong, Butler, Cambria, Clarion, Crawford, . Erie, Fayette, Forest, Indiana, Lawrence, Mercer, and Somerset. By reason of the said transfer the Western, Middle, and Eastern districts of the Supreme Court shall hereafter stand aud be composed of the following counties, viz: The Western district-Allegheny, Beaver, Greene, Jefl'rson, Venango, Westmoreland and Washington. The Middle district-Adanis, Dau phin; and Frauklin. - The Eastern district Armstrong. Bucks, Butler, Bedford, Blair, -Brad-, lord, Jierks, caniorta, cianou, Craw ford, Carbon, Chester, Cumberland, Centre, Columbia, Clinton, Clearfield, Cameron, Delaware, Erie; Elk, Fay ette, Forest, Fulton, Huntingdon, Indiana, Juniata, Lawrence, .Lehigh, Lebanon, Luzetne, Laokawauna, Ly coming, Lancaster, McKean," Mercer, Mifflin, Monroe, Montgomery, Mon tour, Northumberland, .Northampton, Philadelphia, Perry, Potter, Pike, Schuylkill, Somerset, Susquehanna, Snyder, Sullivan,, Tioga, .Union, Wayne, Wyomidg, Warren, and York. TERMS OF THE COURT. The terms of the court iu the dis tricts are fixed as follows: That of tbe Western disfrict commences on the first Monday of October and continues four weeks. That of the Middle district com mences on the twenty-first Monday following the first Mbnday'of Jan uary and continues one weettv And the Eastern district term com mences on the third Monday of Nov ember and continues until the com mencement of the term in: the Middle district. i . The rest of the order, which is quite lengthy, fixes the return day " for the various counties. The sentiment among the members of the bar of Al legheny county respecting the order is that of emphatic disapproval. The western district, which hud nineteen counties, lias been stripped of all but seven, and the fees of tue Prothono tary, General Sweitze, will be propor tionutely reduced. WHAT ATTORNEYS SAY. The attorneys consider the order un warranted by any existing slate of atliiir, and altogether unnecessary. They say it was done , to please the Philadelphia influence and virtually makes but one supreme court district iu the Stale. It is a fact that outside of Allegheny county the members of the bar in ' a number of counties iu the western district were a unit in fa vor of the change. Justices Gordon, Trunkey and Sterrett refused to assent to the order, so it was made by the otbes four justices in opposition to their judgment. They opposed it for the reason thai it would be inconven ient aud expensive for many suitors and lawyers to attend - the sessions of the court in Philadelphia. Many Pittsburg lawyers are Indignant over the matter aud talk of applying to I tic legislature for a remedy such as the redisiriuting of the Slate by act of assembly. Three New llridge. Clturtleld lli'imbllcun. The commissioners have con tracted for the building of three new bridges. One across the river near this borough, in the place of the Good- fellow bridge, which was blown down last Fall; a second one across Clear field creek near the mouth of Potts' run, on the line between Knox aud Woodward township, which will be an open wooden structure, 142 feet hiiiu, uud will cost 'f,UO. The abutments and other stone" work are being put up by local subscriptions, except probuly :iW, which the county wil be called upon to pay, making the total cost to tho county . about $;i,00U. The third one will be thrown across Clearfield creek at Calport (Reilly posloliice), in Beccaria township, and will be luO feet iu length, to be of wood, similar to the Potts' run struct ure, and will cost the 'county about $1,200. The citizens In the vicinity of this bridge have agreed to put up the abutments. lhe'-'''Goodfellow bridge will be replaced -with an open iron one 208 feet long, - two spans, and put up a little below the old Boggs Fording, to avoid the' two railroud crossings aud that miserable hill be tween the old aud uew location en countered heretofore by1' all the op- river aud western travel. The Pitta burgh Bridge Company have the con tract for putting up this latter struct ure stoue work and all for $8,856, The two .wooden brujges' are to be built by C. S. Palmer & Son, of Stroudsburg, Pa., who put up that portion of the market street bridge for the Shaw estate, which, was blown down last Fall.

This is a good- name, and tbe editor of the Oceola Bevei'le tells all In this way: "George Kyser and his friend Winters have proven themselves tbe deer slayer of the season In those partsj having killed four of the fleet footed monarchs of the forest up to the present time. These old hunters kill with the rifle altogether, and are greatly incensed at tbe Jay-hawkers who hunt with the smooth-bore or musket, and fire buck-shot. 'A law should be enacted,' said one of them to us, the other day, 'to prevent this mode of bunting, which has now be come so common.' ' 'These fellows,' said he, referring to tbe buck-shot hunters, 'seldom kill a deer; but wound a powerful number among them; and we find numbers of dead ones through the woods that have been wounded by these fellows' buck-shots, but got away only to die a lingering death, of no good to anyone. Then, if they do kill a deer in this way, it is so torn up that the one-half of it has tobe thrown away. I tell you it is cruelty to dumb animals, and those guilty of the practice should be ar rested under that law, if there is no other, to protect these poor innocent victims. We seldom kill a deer now that we don't find either a buck-shot In it, or that it has been wounded at one; time by tbem. It is a much worse practice than hunting with dogs, and yet there is a law against that..' We thought there was sound logic in what he said.'.' .. ELK CO. ADVOCATE RATES. YEARLY ADVERTISING.'
