STATISTICS OF THE NJ. Il. CHURCH.-The
annual statistics of the Methodist Church,
always an imposing budget, shows large
results accomplished during the past year.
Seventy million dollars represent the val
ne OF their churches and parsonages-an
Increase of over s6,000,o0O in 1872 alone.
The membership numbers one and half
million souls, ministered to by 22,000
preachers, who increased In the past twelve
month at the rate of twenty-five per week.
The other figures correspond. This graft
flying exhibit is due 10 the impetus the
church has received from the election of
eight new working Bishops, the holding of
the quadrennial conference in May, which
settled existing disputes and gave new
energy to the machinery of the denomiAa-
ton, and to the general prosperity and zeal
of the membership. The important feature
for 1873 will be the raising Of $500, 900 for
missionary purposes, or about one-third
more than the sum appropriated and col
lected in 1872.

The month of January, since his adj
vent, has dealt with the people of this vi
entity with high degree Of severity. In a
comparatively short period of time he has
caused us to experience a great amount of
cold weather. Moreover, boisterous winds,

hill-tops, have not unfrequently strayed
from home to seek lower regions and play

sunny village of Townshend. May the

bled at the parsonage where all were warm

the minister's family. Time sped swiftly
by and all were happy. Among the boys
and girls innocent sports and healthfu
mirth were the order of the evening" and,
even many of the young gentlemen and
madens fair, did not disdain to join in the
amusements. Before Withdrawing the com

which they held their spiritual guide, by
contributing for his pecuniary benefit up
wards of sixty dollars in greenbacks and

The census of 1870 gives us some very
melancholy figures in regard to the condi-
ton of the Southern states. Comparing
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana and
the two Carolinas, with Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio, Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin, we
find that in the interval from 1860 to 1870,
the former group of states increased In pop
ulaton only 10000, while Louisiana actu-
ally fell off $1,000. In national rank every
one of them retrograded, several falling
back three or four places. In the contrast
ed group Of Northern states, the popula-
ton increased in the same period, over o.
70O,O 900. All preserved their relative rank
and Iowa and Michigan gained respective
ly niue and three places toward the head of
the class. Such figures as these bring very
clearly before us the tremendous loss of the
South by tho war, and by the social and
political disorganization which ensued, and,
alas, has not yet wholly terminated. She
has been outstripped and left far behind in
the race, although possessing natural at
fractions superior to those Of any section OF
the Union.

How To BORE HOLES IN GLAss.-Any
hard steel tool will cut glass with great fla
ciity " hen freely wet with camphor dis
solved in turpentins. A drill bow may be
used, or even the hand alone. hole bor-
ed may be easily enlarged by round file.
The ragged edges OF glass vessels may also
be easily smoothed thus with fiat file.
Flat window glass can be readily sawed
with watch-spring saw by aid of this so
luton. In short, the most brittle glass can
be wrought almost AZ easily as brass by the
use OF cutting tools kept constantly moist
with camphorlzed oil of turpentlne.

THE GOLD IN THE WoRLD.-A cores
pendent of the Rutland Herald who has re-
Gently consulted Hon. Amasa Walker on
the above topic gives his answer. There
have been no exact data of the annual gold
supply, except since the year lS4s, when
the California discoveries were made. Pre-
vious to that time Humboldt estimated the
worlds stock of gold at 10000, 900, 900, al
though the authorities widely differed on
the subject. The gold product from ls49
down to the present time, Mr.. Walker es-
timated at 81, SOC, 100000. The proportion
of the metal which has been used in the
arts cannot he determined with any GER
taiuty, but II has been vastly greater since
the discoveries in California and Australia
than before. On the other hand, the hoard
ing of gold has doubtless diminished dur
ing the period referred to in all the coun-
tries Of Christendom. lie thinks that a.
bout 81, $50, OOO. 900 have been added to the
coin of the world since lSis. The dollar
contains 25 $40 grains. The ounce weight
Is 4sO grains, which divided by 25.s grains,
SIS 60.4 per or, Troy. But the standard of
fineness of the coin differs In different

PoLIrICAL.-A correspondent of the New

that the policy Of leniency toward the inn
prisoned Ku-Klux ais much dlsapproved
by every loyal citizen in the South. IT the

by these secession Democrats, we would
have nothing to say against the prisoners
being pardoned by the wholesale; but
when the Ku-Klux regard 1t AZ an indica-
tlon OF weakness on the part of the Gov
