Columbus, Ohio, October 17.?The

The figures at mid-night, by'both

County is one of the things that reduces
the majority claimed for Noyoa. To-day,
the latest figures are to the effect that j
Democratic gain in ten or eleven
Counties which have only been beard
from through rumors, will not have to
be so large as the average gain of other
Counties, to eleot Allen, by a small ma?
jority. If Alien should be elected by a

Washington, October" 17.?The ave?
rage conditiou of cotton in tbe lirst
week of October, as compared with
Ootober reports of 1871 and 1672, stands
as much higher thau that of the former
year us it falls below the record of tbe
latter. The standard crop being a good
normal growth, the yearly losses from
worms or othor oasualties almost always
reduce the record below 100, and the
present reduction usually occurs in
September. Tbe uverage this year has
fallen off from 80 to 78,1? since the first
week of September; a larger reduction
thau usually occurs. The general ave?
rage iu October, 1871, was 76; it was 82
in October of last year. Tho area was
one-eighth greater in 1872, aud the
autumn more fuvorable for development
and pioking, and tho result an increase
of about 1,00-0,000 bales. The area of the
present year was increased about ten
per cent., but a portion of the enlarge?
ment wa# abandoned, and the October
status of the crop is materially reduced.
The season must be of average leugth
and comparatively favorable for pioking
to insure a crop equal to that of last
year.
The State averages are as follows:
Virginia 90; North Carolina 88; South
Carolina 80; Georgia 82; Florida 76;
Alabama 78; Mississippi 75; Louisiana
65; Texas 80; Arkansas 83; Tennessee

There is general complaint that the
plants are already bare of leaves, and
fioking will be completed at an earlydate.
n some Counties of the Golf States it is
claimed that there will be an average
orop, notwithstanding the caterpillar
and boll worm; while in other Counties
a loss of one-third of the crop from
worms is expected.

They are. In a state Mfrreat. excitc
_ient ita Breokenridge, Minn..: This
yoSthful but flourishing town has had
its first baby. The shops were closed,
the field hands had a day'a holiday, and
turnlpa, carrots and beets lay idle in the
market wagons. The solitary prisoner
in the log jail was allowed to roam about
in bis eell without his meals, and the
ory of "mad bull" passed by unheeded.
It was, in the language of the local
journal, "a bright day for Breokenridge,
and gave it a place among the brother?
hood of nations." The baby, when
born, weighed one pound and a quarter,
bat, when it was two weeks old, it had
gained two pounds. It was only six
inches long, and a common tumbler
would cover it. This is a small baby,
it ie true, but Breokenridge is a small
place; besides, it is young, and cannot
be expeoted to produce large babies as
older towns. But it is a thriving baby,
or it would not have gained two pounds
in as many weeks. At {hia rate, it will
weigh fifty-two pounds at the end of a
year; and by the time it is ten years
old, it will pull down the scales at 520
pounds. So it will be seen that, although
Breokenridge has begun modestly, it
has begun well, and the greatest hopes
may be entertained regarding its future
progress.
How Boys Who Disturbed a Camp
Meeting Were Served.?Boys who dis?
turb camp-meetings by crying "Amen"
in the wrong plaoe, and remarking
"Glory" with more zeal than judgment,
should read and ponder the fate of thir?
teen small boys in Kansas. Thesd thir?
teen ill-advised boys were guilty, so the
story goes, of disturbing a Kaneae
camp-meeting by insisting upon shout?
ing "Amen" when a very muscular
preacher, who prided himself on his
voice, was singing a hymn. The preacher
bore it for some timo, but, finally, be?
coming filled with righteous wrath, he
descended from the pulpit and, nevor
once interrupting his hymn, successive?
ly reversed and spanked the thirteen
small boys. As his avenging hand de?
scended, and the dnst of the email boys
filled the air, the rest of the congrega?
tion shouted in rapture, andenoonraged
him with loud cries of "Go on,-brother,
go oul" Then he returned to the pul?
pit, still singing, and those boys went
half a mila away behind a bay-stack and
laid down with their faces to the ground,
weeping bitterly.
Faibpanks' 'Scapes.?The readers of
the World have been informed throngh
its Vienna correspondence of the suc?
cess of the various American inventions
in the great exposition, and of all the
various articles of labor-saving ma?
chinery there exhibited, none is more
deserving of the award granted it than
the celebrated Fairbanks' Scale. These
scales have been referred to in oar
courts of law as the "standard," as the
weight they indicate is always accepted
by both buyer and seller. Some years
ago, when exposing the false weights of
various dealers in this city, the World
did its test weighing upon a Fairbanks'
Scale, from which (as from a court of
last resort) there could be no appeal.
The highest prize at Paris in 1867, and
now in Vienna, with the approval of the
entire commercial classes, not only of
this country, but everywhere, stamps
the Fairbanks' Scale as the- one every
dealer should possess.

Dunn Piatt tells the following story
concerning the great Miohigander, Se?
nator Chandler: "While making his
graud tour of Europe, he enconntered
our frieud Gen. Le Fevre, then United
States Consul at Nurembnrg. The con?
versation turuiug on bills presented
by landlords, the Senator said he conld
out complain. His bills, compared to
those ho bad to pay in Washington,
were reasonable enough. 'But there is
ouo thing that pozzies me,' he con?
tinued; 'wherever I go, if but for one
night, I am charged with a baggy.
Now the chargo is low enough if 1 ever
hud the buggy, but I haven't soen a
buggy since 1 left the Stutes.' Our
cousul was bothered. Ho asked at last
to look at the bill, and found the learned
Senator had mistaken the French word
bougie (a candle) for the honest Ameri?
can one, 'buggy.' "
Au Iowa minister, in discoursing to
his audience a few Sabbaths ago, said:
"Religion iu the heart, my friends, is
like four aces iu the deck; without it no

ble. Iu their judgment the "deck"
would be a barren paok without tho
four aces. A few, however, "flushed"
up, aud "passed" out tho door.

Reshifment of Goods to Etjbope.?
The currency pressure has caused in

goods to Europe, there being at present
no market for them in that city. Silks,

has been paid on these wares, but ruin?
