Curious Remarks on the Bible.
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."

mented that the emigration statistics
of the present year already reached tho
unprecedented number of 200,000, Inci

hoped to Introduce the promised billon

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-,

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. We learn that the
contractors will go to work just as soon
as the weather will permit. These
bridges are as absolutely necessary as
a barn is on a good farm. No. toll to
pay or suow to shovel iu to them when

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.'.' ..
