Pork Pa king Report.

Estimates for the entire season indi- cate a falling off in pork packing st all interior points in, the West amounting to 57O,0O0 hogs, and with possible falling off at the leading cities enough to make the aggregate decrease 75O,000, compared with last year. However, the chances favoring 8 final deficiency some what less than this number, and, taking the increased weightsinto consideration, it may be safe to calculate that the hog crop will not materially vary from 5,OO0,O0O hogs at last years weights, against 5,566, GOO last year-a decrease of ten per cent. The packing at all points is approximately 5000, ,0OO, against 1, 100000 hogs year ago. The interior points in Ohio show ten to twelve pounds decrease in weights; In diana, about the same as last year; H. linois, twenty pounds increase Iowa, fifteen pounds increase; Missouri, thirty five pounds increase; Kansas and Ne braska, fifty pounds increase, and a moderate increase in other sections.

A Circus Turned into a Church.

Messrs. Moody and Sankey are to hold 8 series of revival meetings in Gilmore's garden, New York, on or about the first of February. The building will be di- vided by partitions into three apart ments. The arrangements for seating the audience are to remain as they have been, but the space lately allotted to gravel walks and shrubbery will all be utilized for the same purpose. The hall at the southern end of the building will be fitted up to accommodate between seven and eight thousand people, while the hall at the north end will be arranged to seat about four thousand. The inter- vening space-about forty feet-between the two halls will be devoted t. offices and retiring rooms. The long narrow chambers underneath the tiers of seats on the Madison and Fourth avenue sides of the building, formerly devoted to the menagerie by Barnum, and lately oc cupied by the bar, lunch counter and shooting galleries of Gilmore's garden, will be divided into apartments which will be used for purposes of religious conversation. The offices at the corner of Fourth avenue and Twenty sixth street will be used for business meetings by the several committees.-Nev Fork

The Use of Fallen Leaves.

In the Gardeners Monthly writer says: These have to be gathered up.
 They are excellent to mix with hot-bed
 material, and, where practicable, should be saved for this purpose. They do not heat so rapidly as stable manure, and in this have an advantage; as tempering the violence makes manure last longer and maintain more regular heat They are, excellent. material to put round cold frames to protect half hardy plants. A board E put up te e,aas the height sseI of the from then, and he.leaves filled in be- tween. If thelpIants are somewhat ten- der, the bottom of the frames may be filled in a few feet with the leaves. These leaves, after having been two or three years decaying, make admirable stuff for potting plants and for flowers in general. .s 4 ss ---r-s.s - z.

New York State Debt.

The annual report of the comptroller of New York State to the Legislature derives it's chief interest from the an nouncement which he makes that the bounty debt of the State is now fully provided for and practically paid. The two mills State tax levied during the current fiscal year is the last which will be needed for this purpose. This debt stood at $15, 912, 800 at the close of the fiscal year ending September 30, 1874. At the close of the last fiscal year it stood at $15, ,092,O0O The securities in the bounty debt sinking fund September 30, 1874, were at their par value, $476, 044O9 and the cash, g., 643, 302 86 j; total, $7, 403, TAG. 95. The amount of se- curities at the close of the last fiscal year was $8, ,S85, ,444. O9, and the cash $550,- 000-total, $9, ; ,435, 444 09. The amount of the debt at the close of the fiscal year 1873-4, after deducting the securities in the sinking fund and cash in the treas ury uninvested, without making allow ance for the accrued interest on the debt down to the close of the fiscal year, was $8, 508, ,000. The amount of the debt at the close of the last fiscal year was $5, 657,- GOO. This amount is due April 7, 1877, and with the interest to that date would amount to $7, 505, ,886, the two-mill tax of 1875 returning about $4sEOO, ,O00, the premium on the securities in the sinking fund at fifteen per cent; and ss ever $2, ,25O. .O00 of these securities are United States sizes, $2, ,OOO, GOO States sizes and g, 900, ,000 United States fives, this is a comparatively low estimate, amounting to $1, 334, GOO, and the interest on invest, ments to April 7, 1877, is $1,O5O, 900, amounting altogether to 7,O82, ,OOO, and leaving little less than $500, ,OOO of the debt to be provided for in the fiscal year 1876.

The Departed Year.

The year has left-a memory and 8 grave. (" It is like all years" one says. They are different as one grows old. They take more than they bring, then, youth waits for it's ship to come in. Nay, to the most of us, the dying year leaves only our losses. We have lost friends. We have lost hopes. We stand amid plans gone to wreck. And yet, God preserves to us the trustful and believing heart If 1875 have left us that, we can meet 1876 like men and Christians. With the hope that never dies, the courage that never faiters, the childlike trust that cries out in the dark ness of the midnight storm and rising sea, "An is we'll, with the Christmas faith in the Father over all, one may garner in the mournful harvest of the year, it's losses, it's graves, it's holy memories, and even thank God for them, while he looks to the blessed Easter whose light scatters all darkness. Pray God for a child's heart, all ye who sit by lonely fresides, in desolate rooms, and hear, on stair and floor, the echoes of footballs that have ceased forever. .-E;cchange.

4 Want SunnIicd.

The American mind is active. It has given us books of fiction for the sentimentalist, learnsd books for the scholar and professional student, but few books for the people. A book for the people must relate to subject of universal interest. SIoh & subject is the physical man, and such a book 1.-The Peoples Common Sense Medical Adviser," 8 copy of which has been recently laid on our table. Tho high professional attainments of its author-Dr. R. v. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y.- and the advantages derived by him from an extensive practice, would alone insure for his work & cordial reception. Bat these are not the merits for which it claims our attention. The author is a man of the people. He sympa- thizes with them in all their afiictons, efforts, and attachments. He perceives their want-a knowledge of themselyes-and believing that all truth should be made as universal as Gods own sunlight, from his fund of learning and experience he has produced work in which he gives them the bene6ts of his labors. In it he considers man in every phrase of his exiet- once, from the moment he emerges ''fran 8 ravlesH atom t0o dimlnutive for the sight, until he gradually evolves to the maturity of those conscious powers, the exercise Of which furnishes subjective evidence of our immo1ta tality." Proceeding from the theory that every fact of mind has physical antecedent,
 he has given an admirable treatise on cerebral physiology, and shown the bearings of the facts thus established upon individual and social welfare The author believes with Spencer, that "as vigorous health and it's ac- companing high spirits are lsrger elements of happiness than any other things whatever. the teaching how to maintain them is a teach ing thst yields 10 no other whatever" and
 accordingly has introduced an extensive dis cussion of the methods by which we may pre-
 serve the integrity of the system and oftimee prevent the onset of oieease. Domestic reme- dies-their preparation, uses and effects form p1 eminent feature of the work. The | bygienic treatment, CT nursing of the sick if | an important subject, and receives attention commensurate with it's importance. Nearly al | diseases "to which flesh is heir" are describ
 ed, their symptoms and causes explained, and l proper domestic treatment suggested. To re l ciprocate the many favors bestowed upon him | by generous public, the author offers hit 1 hook at price ($1.50) little exceeding tho l cost of publication Our readers can obtain
 this practical and valuable work by addressing l the author.-Nets York Tribxna.

Death from HydrophObia.

Hugh Murray, aged nineteen years, residing in Brooklyn, was bitten by a cat, whose anger he had aroused in some manner. The wound inflicted was not a serious one, and no attention was paid. to it at the time. Six weeks after, however, the wound began to swell, and Murray's friends becoming alarmed, summoned 8 physician. All was done fo, his relief that medical skill could suggest, but to no purpose. He died in great agony. The case is pronounced one of genuine hydrophobia, and the progress of the disease svinced all the symptoms of that malady.
