neA- Holy WEEK Yesterday com
menced the last week of the penitential
season of Lent, decreed by the Fathers
in the Church in commemoration of the
forty days Of fasting and prayer which
our Savior underwent in the wilderness.
This season is one of great solemnity
in the Roman Catholic and Episcopal
Churches, and the devout observe it
with all outward Indications OF pen
itence and humanity. The week opens
with Palm Sunday yesterday when the
ceremony Of blessing branches oftrees,
such as palm of olive, and distributing
them to the people is performed. This
ceremonial commemorative OF the en-
trance Of Christ into Jerusalem, q short
time before the Last Supper and the
Crucifixon. In the Catholic Church
the exercises consist of a high mass the
benediction of the psalms, and a pro-
cession. On the evenings of Wednes-
day, Thursday, and Friday, the Mathis
and Lauds Of the succeeding day are
sung, the Psalms and lessons used being
selected from those portions of the
Scriptures which the Passion of Christ
prefgured or explained. During the
celebration of the ceremonies for these
evenings (Which are called the &C Office
of the Tenebrae') thirteen candles are
kept burning near the altar, which are
one by one extinguished, until at last
only the upper one remains. This is
typical of Christ This candle is then
hidden behind the altar, to typify the
entombment of Christ, and subsequent
ly brought out again, to show that,
although He was crucified and buried,
He rose again from the dead Maunday
Thursday is commemorative of the
Last Supper, and is celebrated with
peculiar solemnity and impressiveness.
Good Friday is observed by all Chris
tian churches, although the Roman
Catholic Church carries its observance
to greater extent, ond gives it char
acter more typical of the suferings and
woes of the Saviour, and the sorrow OF
the Church, than any other. Holy
Saturday closes the week.

BURNING OF THE HOTEL AT WAvERLY.
On Saturday night, about 101s
o'clock, fire broke out in the second
story of the Waverly Hotel, which is
situated ON the Fair Grounds of the
New-Jersey State Agricultural Society,
at Waverly Park, and, within an hour,
property to the amount OF $4,000 was
destroyed. The building, after re-
naming for several years in dilapida-
ted condition, was last June, leased for
term of five years, from the State
Agricultural Association, by Mr.. l.
Brokaw. That gentleman expended
over 800, 600 in fitting up the old house
and building in its front a first class
hotel. So thoroughly were the i'm
provements perfected, that those who
have patronized it pronounce it one OF
the best houses of its size in the State
On retiring to his chamber last Satur-
day night, Mr.. Brokaw placed kerO-
sene lamp on the table, and opened
one of the windows to admit the air.
In doing so gust Of wind, as he alleg-
es, drove the fame downward through
the wick, and coming in contact with
the oil an explosion resulted. The fire
was communicated to the bed, and the
house was soon in flames. The alarm
was sounded in this city when the dist,
ant confagration was observed but be.
fore the arrival Of the engines the
house was destroyed. Steam Engine
Nos. l and 2, Continental Hose and La
fayette truck, were the only companies
who succeeded in reaching the fire.
They returned home about 4 o'clock
yesterday morning. So swift did the
flames do their work that only one bed
out of 28 could be taken ont. Furni-
ture TO the amount Of 50, 900 in the low
er story was saved. The building itself
Mr.. Brokaw roughly estim ates to have
been worth $4,000. Attached were
large commodious stables but proyi-
dentially the direction of the wind pre-
served them intact. The buildings
were insured for $40. 50O-$5, 600 in the
Home, 1000 in tho London and Liver
pool, $1,000 in the Fireman's Mutual,
Newark, SIS, coo in the Williamsburgh
City, and $500 in the Standard In
surance Companies. Miss Brokaw had
a narrow escape from being burned to
death, having rushed down the stair
way in her night dress. Mr.. Dayy
gentleman who resides in the vicinity,
has extended to the family Of Mr.. Bro
law temporary home.

The Commissioner Prs Of TrumbuIlC County de-
sire to say hat the eXigency of the case de-
mands that they should use alllawful means
toprocure the building ola new jail for said
County.
The old jail, as has been said many times,
Is a nuisance, is INIT to keep prisoners in.
as well as Insecure, Il is unht and very an
sale for a family 10 live in, n something
needs 20 be done and should be done soon.
The tax payers Of TrumbCll County, I'M
doubtedly do not desire TO pay their money
for guarding the old Jail. neither do they
wish TO pay one to have prisoners kept at
considerable expense in the jails of adlOin-
ing counties. which they are now doing.
n present law only permits County Com
missiOners to eXpend fifteen thousand dol
lars ON any one structure without first SUBJ
hitting the question 10 a vote of the people.
The commissioner think that Trumbull
County ought 10 havean Iron Jail of at least
sixteen cells, Of which the Jail part would
cost from fifteen toSeventeen thousand dol
lars in addition to a brick building TO sur
round the Jail, and fOrthe family 20 live in,
with at least one reception room, and one
apartment in the brick part made secure
enough % be occupied by female prisoners.
Also a cellar for the family and one for a hot
air furnace and the storing OF fuel for the
furnace. The said brick building, with the
necessary arrangements, would cost from
fifteen to twenty thousand dollars.
There is something over fourteen millions
OF dollars OF taxable property. according to
the present valuation, in Trumbuu County.
and three mills on the dollar valuation
dollars.
II the voters see prOpe 10 vote for a new
Jail this spring. the Commissioners propose
to levy v mills ON the dollar valuation for
the year 1853, n the balance in ls7O. and To
expend what In their judgment is necessary
for II new Jail, and no more.
Much more might be said Oh this question,
but the people Of TrumbuII County are too
intelligent TO need to be "BUREDa in this
matter, therefore we respectfully submit It
them.

CATTLE-The market has been dull and
dragging all week, n prices 25aJc lower
than last week. Eastern shippers appeal
alarmed and have been TELEGRAPH Pied to sci.
their cattle on Saturday instead OF holding
to Mondays market. This seems as If h ey
were looking for a break down In prices. A
great many cattle are reported on the way
for the coming weeks market.
HOdS-The receipts have been liberal,
with rather = dull market, and none selling
Of any amount to-day. We quote Philadel
phia hogs selling at Sll 25Gll 50, and light
hogs for New York at 81 5Gl0 90 2 hundred.
Buyers consider these prices as still too high
but are about 2e less Than n week go. II
seems evident. however, that shippers will
nave TO take less still, as there are reported
more hogs fee ing for the spring rad han
will keep up the price long. Those that con-
tracted Tor May and June will evidently lose
some OF what they made in January and
February.
SHEEP-The market for sheep has been
dull with plenty IN the yards all week, and
still there are large arrivals. morning and
evening. The receipts during the wee. have
been so large that It was a matter of iudiffer-
ence with buyers whether they went out 10
see stock on arrival or not. It is thought
that II shippers send them in as freely The
coming week as the past one, prices will
largely depreciate, and many parties will
not forget the sheep trade soon.

During Saturday and Sunday the
water in the river at this place was
nearly as high as at the spring flood
last year, and as the extreme heighth
Of the river at that time was caused
by gUrges of ice, it is thought that con-
siderable more water passed town this
year than last. The roads on the 9TH
.r side of the river were completely
covered, and travelling to and from
the houses ON the flats was done by
means of boats. We have heard of no
considerable damage to property in
the county, and probably the high
water was harmless, if we may except
The fact that travel was temporarily
suspended on some of the county
Dads.
In the southern part of the State,
however, considerable damage was
lone to railroad property, bridges and
track being washed away in several
places. In one place a bridge was car
ried away fifteen minutes after an ex-
press train passed over.
