NEw YORK, December 27-Business
Is exceedingly quiet to-day. In all the
departments the severe snow storm has
so completely blocked up the city
thoroughlares and railroads that the trans.
porlation facilities are much interrupted.
The market for both cotton and wooden
goods is merely nominal, but prices are
steady and unchanged. Imported goods
are utterly stagnant, and even holiday
goods are inactive. An alarming fire
broke out In franklin street last night
and destroyed large quantity OF Irish
linens, laces, &C., and q very valuable
stock OF silks adjoining the store was
q little damaged.

A Correction.

In consequence of a mistake made while
correcting the proof last week the 9Th and
9Th resolutions of the Cincinnati platform
were made ridieulGus we accordingly re-
publish tl,ean properly corrected as follows:
Fifth. The Civil Service of the govern
ment, has 5ecomea mere instrument of
partisan tyranny and personal ambition,
and an object ofselfsh greed. It'is scan
llal and reprOaoh upon free institutions, and
breeds a Decentralization dangerous to the
iperpetuity Of Republican government
We, therefore, regard thorough reform
Cf the Civil Service as one Of the most
pressing necessities ofthe hour that hon
esty, capacity and fidelity constitute the
only valid claims to public employment ;
that the officers 0f the government oease to
be a matter of arbitrary favoritism and
patronage, and that public station becomes
again post Of honor. 20 this end il is
imperatiyely reqpired that no President
shah be u candidate for reelection.
6iHrth. We demand a system of Federal
taxation which shall not unnecessarily IN
terfeTe with the industry ofithe people, ana
which shall provide the meaDG necessary to
pay $he expenses of the government eco
nOmipsiiy administered, pensions, the iu-
interest of the public debt, and moderate
redueticu annually Of the principal thereof,
and recognizing that there are in our midst
honest but irreconcilable differences of fopin-
ion with regard to the respective system of
protection and free trade; we remit the
discussien.Of the subject to the people in
their Congressional districts and to the
decision Of Congress there0n, wholly free
Of Executive interference and dictatien.

Remarkable Land Sink.

The Elkton Wing states this singular
circumstance
A strange freak Of nature has recently
occurred in Elk Neck, near White Banks,
by the sinking of about two acres of land
on the mountain side. The scene of this
phenomenon is about four hundred yards
from the river bank. An area of the size
above mentioned, covered with large forest
trees, has sunk to the depths of the tree
tops. The sink has left walls almost as verti-
cal as the sides of a house. Mr.. Alexander
Wilson, who examined the ground, states
that no traces Of water disturbances at the
bottom are perceptible, and the strange
occurrence is altogether unaccountable.
The Bloomfield times. [volume] (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1867-187?, 1872-05-14
A Natural Curiosity.

In Carter county, KY, there is a great
curiosity called the "Natural Bridge"
1t spans a stream called Little Garry, which
falls into Little Sandy river This bridge
is 919 feet in the span, 1856 feet high IL feet
wide and feet thick in the middle and
30 feet at the ends, being arched underneath
and level on the top. One hundred feet
below it there is cascade with fail of
seventy-five feet, and two miles distant
there is another cascade with fall of two
hundred feet. From the bottom of the
ravine spruce pine has grown up to the
height of four feet above the bridge, making
its entire height two hundred feet. The
sides of the ravine are so rugged that, were
it not for natural stairway, a person on
the top of the bridge wishing to get under
it would have to walk two miles.
