Pork Trade at Cincinnati.

The Cincinnati Daily Chronicle Of The llth
instant says:
The number OF Hogs slaughtered a, Clncin-
natl the past season, is said 10 be Two hundred
thousand about seventy thousand os whom
have been run into lard, with the exception OF
The hams. The chief reason why more than
the unusual number have been driven IN aud
slaughtered is because they were the only ar
liicle that would command cash To enable The
farmers 10 pay lheir-iaxes. Another reason is
the introduction Of lard oil; and third IS the
demand for Europe. Lard is in considerable
demand for France, where il is made by The
chemists into various oils, the principal oI
which is said TO be olive oil. In speaking OF
the subject, The Cincinnati Chronicle says :
The curing of provisions here has improved
every year, until now The neatness, system.

The Legislature and Congress.

The members of Congress, and the members of
our State Legislature, are busy doing what it
would be almost impossible to describe Neither
of them are doing anything, however, for the good
of the people. In Congress, the locos keep up
their continual clalter about Democracy, and Fed
eralism, and prevent the public business from
being acted upon, and in the Legislature the same
party are quarreling and abusing each other in a
manner which must convince every one that they
are not the pure and unspotted patriots they
would have US to believe they are. They talk a
great deal about economy and reform too, but as
vet have not given US specimen of it.

End of the World.

Father Miller, the Millennium preacher, is now
in Philadelphia where he has been holding forth,
during The past week, on his favorite doctine OF
the lend of the world" Some of tie City papers
say it is really surprising TO see the crowds OF
neople which flock to the large hall of the Muse
nm TO hear him. The hall, it is estimated, will
hold over 5000 souls, and it has been filled nightly
10 overfowing. He has already succeeded in de-
,luding hundreds of men and women, who now
,negecting their domestic concerns, under the i'm
pression that the end of time is near at hand
Many too are trying to dispose of most Of their
household goods, aledging that as they cannot
Luso them much longer they may as well have the
money for them, and enjoy what it can procure.
Mr. Miller is man we'll advanced in years, and
has,a wife and family who reside somewhere in
the State Of New York He has evidently lead
and studied the Bible a great deal-parncularly
thatip ortion which embraces what is supposed to
be an account of the unfulflled prophecies. He
is however, by no means a well educated man.
His. preaching is at all times simple, and some
times quite ridiculous. The interpretations which
he gives to his texts are strained, and palpably
wrong What should convince even the weakest
minds, that he is either an impostor or misguided
enthusiast, is, that when he first began TO preach
about the end of the world, the 23d of April,
sls43 was fixed upon as the time when it would
take pace-but now as the period of aledged de-
>siructon draws nigh, he is less certain of its hap
pening, but beiiereS it will take place sometime
between the 2ls of March, this year, and the 2lst
of March 1874 Sill in spite of this, and in face
of the declarations in Sculpture that no man
knows of that day" ina, it will come like thief
in the night" &c. he is daily making new prose-
ytes, and adding scores to the number who must
very soon be convinced of the imposture by means
of which they have been SO miserably duped.

hung up in the Senate. The better opinion ap-
pears to be that it will not become law at least
at this session. Yet this is by no means certain.
