When the boiler fall on little Aucs Thornton, it was as hot men eould not lay hands on it, bat had to get poles to lift it off her. The City Council last night passed an ordinance which has been before it for ever a month, re districting the oity by attaching the recently annexed territory to the various wards' on which it bor ders, and creating two new wards by di viding the Sixth and Ninth. , All that part of the Sixth ward lying west of High street will be hereafter known aa the Eleventh ward, and that part of the Ninth west of High as the Tenth ward. This will make the City Council consist of twenty-two members. The holding over Couucilmen (Messrs. Pletech and Walsh) in the divided wards live in their old wards, so that there will be two Councilman to elect at the April election for each of the new wards. As yet there hare been no movements in regard to the election, save a little waking np of the negro element in the Eighth ward by a poet offioe olerk who wants to walk into the City Counoil over Afric's burning sands. The polities of the Council for several years has been rather mixed; but the re-adjustment of I the wards will enable the Democrats to secure their proper influence, provided they show jadgment in making nomina tions. " CINCINNATI CONVENTION. The New Hampshire election has re- -moved all doubt, if any ever existed, of the re-nomination of General Grant by the Philadelphia gathering ofoffice-holders. He will go through as easy as a land-grab in the Senate. The certainty " of this seems to add to the importance of the Cincinnati Convention of the Lib- ' era! Republicans, and hat it should do . and what not do; who should be nomin ated, or whether any nomination shall be made, and what platform laid down, are just now prominent topics of discussion ' In leading journals all over the country, who sympathize with the objective point of the Liberals, which we take to be the ; defeat of Grakt in November, at the ' polls, since it cannot be ao jomplished at , the Philadelphia Convention in June. Tae New York Tribune of the 15th, thinks that- at Cincinnati there will be no diversity of opinion on such qaestions as universal amnesty, civil service reform and the propriety of rendering Presidents and other dispensers of extensive patronage ineligible to re-eleetion while in office; but it fears revenue reform ia the rook on whioh the Convention will split. Here is what Mr. Greelet says on that point: "We shall ask to be counted ont if the majority shall decide to make tree trade a plank in their platform. The protection of home industry is of more import-" anee. in oar view, than the success of any party or ticket." If it should be decided to make free trade a corner-stone of the Cincinnati movement, we ask enly that w be not insulted by the assumption that any possible selection of candidates coold reconcile ns to that decision." To get rid of this trouble about the tariff, the World suggests that the quea-' tion be remitted to the Congress districts, . and thus' taken oat of the Presidential canvass. It adds, in support of this view, that " In the whole history ot our Government there has never been an instance of a President vetoing a tariff bill or a revenue bill of any description. Tte requirement of the Constitution that all hills for raising revenue shall originate in the Ho one, pate this subject more peculiarly within the authority of the immediate representatives of the people than any other in the whole scope of Federal legislation; and there is accordingly no subject on which a right-minded President would feel so much reluctance in interposing his negative. We accordingly find that, iu the eighty-three years since - the organization of the Government, no revenue bill has been vetoed, and there is no likelihood that one will ever be. If Mr. Greeley himself were President, he wonld recoil from setting the first example of such a veto, even if Congress should aend him a bill enaoting a strictly revenue tariff." ' This seems to suit Mr. Greeley; bat if the Cincinnati Convention is to give . birth to a reform party, the omission Of revenue reform as a national, much more than a local issue, will be very like the play of Hamlet with the prince left ont. There are reports from -Washington that Sumner will and will not attend at 1 Cincinnati, and some go so far as to make him PWident of the Convention. The specials all agree he has taken a tearful farewell of Grant Republicanism. Mere is the solemn way one chap puts it: "His ; (Sumner's) colleague, Senator Wilson, had a long conversation with him on Friday, when the whole subject was discussed. Mr. Sumner announced to Mr. Wilnon that he feared the time had eome, or would shortly come, when their , paths politically would diverge, but that he hoped - no personal nnfriendlinees wonld grow out of their political alienation. He advised Senator Wilson to go with other strong friends of the Preei-: dent to General Grant, and nrge upon him to withdraw his name aa a candidate refore the American people, and not al- ' low it to go before the delegates to the Philadelphia Convention, and thus far unselfish and magnan imnna RAndnat second to none in history; that if he persisted in being a candidate, . nH tli nffiAA-hnldera should succeed in renominating him, he wonld simply and emphatically be the disunion candidate so far as tne party is concern eav . , This is enonzh to make one weep, but Hiram Ulysses is not after a name for nnselfish and magnanimous achievements. As Frank Blair pats it, he will only leave the White House feet foremost, and if elected this fall, he will as certainly be a candidate for a third term in 1876 as that some official is stealing at Washington at this very instant of time There has been mnoh difference o1 nninina developed as to whether the Cincinnati Convention should nominate, or merely meet, frame a platform, en targe the terms of its call, and then adjourn to eome place convenient to where '. the Democratic National Convention will Jiold its seseiona. If the Cincinnati gath I riot maaifeate any traoea of Radical in- J tolerance, or if It fails to speak oat plain- I ly and boldly on socb. questions 1 aa ' amnesty, the Ku-Klux lawa, from it There ia really very little difier- enee between the mass of Democrats and I the Liberal Bepnblicane; nothing that I need prevent a cordial union to over- I throw this ring-headed and ring-tailed I Administration, and place the ro Tern- I men t in charge of statesmen who will I no "teal themselyes or permit their ad herents to plunder, and who will look ahead and not to the dreary and bloody I past for inspiration.

Sir.ce the arrival of Rear Admiral In- glefield in this country, six weeks ago, as naval attache of the British Legatioif at Washington, he has been inqairing mi-notely and thoroughly into our naval and military condition. In this he haa had every facility from onr Government. He has already inspected the defenses at New York and along the New England coast, and was lately ordered by Minister Thornton to visit New Orleans, and inspect the defenses of that and other Southern ports. All this excites much comment among army and navy officers. HAVE BECOME LAWS.

Mr. Conkling then said he woald modify the resolution in accordance with Mr. Trumbull's amendment,offered some days since. Mr. Thnrman said that the resolution was unworthy of the Senate and was a shame. It would end in smoke; and even if a report showed that Mr. Conkling had not a solitary recommendation on file, it wonld not vindicate him from the charge of using nndue innaence. Alia enemies wonld say then that he was too shrewd to put recommendations on paper, and that he made them orally to. the Pi evident or to his familiars. Mr. Conkling said that the resolution as modified would eall for information on that subject too. Mr. Thnrman said it was not to be ex pected that the Administration woald give a list of its familiars. Mr. Hill moved to lay the resolution on the table. Lost. .

The celebration of St. Patrick's Day at Cork yesterday was one of immense proportions. A mass meeting was held in the City Park, at which it is estimated nearly fifteen thou sand persons were present. Mr. Romayne presided, and on taking the chair made a powerful speech. He said the most despotic government in Europe wonld not have allowed snoh an occasion as a royal thanksgiving to pass with out signalizing It by an amnesty to political prisoners. The Qoeen of Eng and should remember that her dynasty owed its existence to the great est perjurer of modern times, the Dake of Marlborough. Providence seemed to in terpose to remind her of that, for in the same carriage with the Queen, when O Connor presented his pistol and peti tion, sat a lady of honor who was a de scendant of the Churchills. Eogland had never granted Ireland anything from motives of justice. Concessions had always been wrung from her through fear. The speaker's bold denun ciations were received with frequent and prolonged cheering. The various organ izations marched to and from the park with flags and bands of music Al though there wai muoh excitement, no disorder occurred, and the police force. which had been largely increased for the day. found no occasion to interfere. boston, Marcn ia. rue celebration ol St. Patrick's day was more general today than on any previous occasion It is favored by pleasant weather.

Among the attractions were the Gallow lilassee, a Douy oi men iu ancient costume of the Irish, the banner presented to the St. Patrick Alliance by the Nan of Ken ware, and a bust of O'Connell. The streets were packed with sight-seers Brooklyn also Had a nne procession probably a mile in length. What was first reported a riot in Jersey City proved an insignificant affair. Two men who attempted to cross the route of the procession were severely beaten. The assailant in one case was arrested. Considerable exoitement followed, and once an attempt was made to move against the police, but it did net beoome serious, and qnlet was quickly restored.

A desperate fight ocourred at Presi dent's Island, a few miles below the city, yesterday. Deputy Sheriff Rodegan went . there for the purpose of arresting a desperate negro named John White, who for some time has been a terror to negroes who live there. Rodegan was met by a large body of negroes who were armed, and proposed to assist in the arrest, but it is stated that White had barricaded his cabin, and would make a desperate fight. Rodegan approached the cabin and demanded the surrender of White, who refused, saying he would be murdered by the negroes if he did. After some farther parleying, one negro approached the cabin and was shot dead by White, who rushed out aud secured his gun. In a few minutes he shot another, and also secured his gun, but was wounded. He retreated to his cabin, from whioh he opened a sharp fire, wounding four others. Rodegan seeing that it was impossible to dislodge him, sent to the city for assistance. Deputy Sheriff Mike Pyne summoned a posse and went over and proceeded to take means to bnrn White's oabin, on seeing which he surrendered. After his arrest it was with the greatest diffloulty that the negroes were kept from shooting him. They even threatened to shoot the officer if he was not given up. White was brought to the city and jailed. He has served a regular term in the Third Cavalry, and it is said has killed several men before. St. Louis, March 18, 1872.

Alexis has been interviewed by a cor respondent at Havana, and in regard to hia trip in the United States said: "If I had anything unpleasant to say I should remain silent and not answer your ques tion; but my stay was so pleasant, and the people were so kind, that I can only regret that I could not remain longer; and if I did not have my path in life laid ont for me, 1 should like to live in Amer 10a altogether, dividing my time from May to January between New York and the prairies, and spending the remainder in New Orleans. I may go back there if l can." Pass him around, for he deserves to be immortalized. Such action is rarer and more fragrant than the blossoming of a century flower. Rev. Sydney Gorbett, rector of St. John's Churcb, Qainoy, asked nis congregation to reduoe his salary $1,000, as he felt able to recipro cate their affection for himself and devo tion to the ohurch by making some sacrifice in their behalf.

POWDER EXPLOSION, Faar Powder Mill, with Faar Teas af Pewaer Exploded Near Cleve-laad.On Saturday afternoon, four mills of the Austin Powder Company, five miles southeast of Cleveland, blew np, killing two men. Several others escaped in a manner almost miracnlous. There were fonr tons of powder in the mills at the time. The Cleveland Herald has this de scription of the scene of the explosion: The three buildings followed each oth er in suoh a rapid succession that the report and ooucussion was as that of a single explosion. The air about was filled with smoke, dust ana iragments oi tne debris; splinters and pieces of timber were thrown in tne wildest conrusion within a radius of sixty rods, and some bits were afterward picked np at a distance of nearly a quarter of a mile from the scene of the catastrophe. Boards measuiing six feet in length were lodged in the tops of neighboring trees, and countless splinters hung in the branches. As soon as the smoke cleared away the extent and seriousness of the disaster became evident. The press mill was so completely demolished that not the first vestige of the building remained. Huge stones which composed the foundation were broken and scattered about the grounds, no two of them remaining in their original position. The boards, timbers and scantling oi tnis as of all the buildings, charred and blackened, were shattered and hurled indiscriminately about, filling the adjacent mill race and strewing the ground for rods around. There was a seoond glazing mill, located near the first, which oontatned several nunarea pounus oi powder, which was badly shattered, one side being blown off. The packing house, removed may be two hundred feet from the buildings that exploded, in which were several hundred kegs of powder, had one side knocked in by some timbers of one ot the other buildings. An old press mill, at the time out of nse and thirty rods away, was demolished by the missiles from the other houses. Hardly a building on the premises escaped without more or less injury from flying pieces of timber or from the concussion, and windows in bouses half a mile distant were broken. The press, which weighed four tons, was parted, and pieces of it weighing nearly a ton were thrown four rods from the building. A heavy metallio wheel, sixteen feet in diameter, was broken into segments, and soattered about with the same oonfusion. The two men who were working at the press were, of course, killed instantly. Their bodies were lifted across the race and np a hill fully twenty rods. One of them, Albert S. Sherman, was thrown against it head foremost,his skull striking a stump with such force as to fracture it. The stump and the ground abont were bespattered with the brains of the unfortunate man. His legs were broken in several places, and his body frightfully mangled. His comrade in life and in death, Lyman Leonard, was carried not quite so far, but his body was worse mutilated. One foot and a part of a leg were found several rods from the press-house in an entirely different direction from whioh the body was thrown, and still another portion of the leg has not yet been found. Leonard was about thirty years of age, was a single man and formerly resided in Ravenna, where he has relatives still living. The bodies of both men. were burned and blackened so as to be irreo-ognizable.The force of the explosion was felt in an area of five miles from the mills, and in Cleveland created a great panic The mills were ereoted in 1853, sinoe which time several explosions have occurred, soarcely a year going by without a recurrence of the fearful calamity. Several lives have been lost at different times, and still those who survived in the present instance are scarooly intimidated. This explosion is the most disastrous of any yet experienced, and tne damages are estimated at irom fcv:u,uuu to $2o,UU0. FARM STOCK. Comparative Naasber aad Prices ia the Differeat States. From advance sheets, giving the result of the February circular to statistical correspondents, made np at the Bureanof Agriculture in Washington, we ara able to furnish our readers with some important statistical information, showing the comparative numbers and prices of stock in the United States.

The largest inorease is in swiue, six per cent. ; horses and mules, 3 per cent. ; milch cows, 2 per cent. ; oxen and cattle. 1 per cent. Maine shows a decrease of 5 per oent. in horses ; New Hampshire. 4 ; Rhode Island, 2 ; Connecticut, 1, and California, 1. The other States show an increaseMassachusetts, 2 per cent, and Nebraska, 20 per cent., the largest increase in any State. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Con necticut and Knode island snow a decrease in miloh cows, whilst the greatest depreciation is in the new States 20 per cent, in Nebraska, is in Kansas, iu in Iowa and Minnesota, 6 in Missouri and Kansas, and 5 in Wisconsin. The Eastern States show a decrease in oxen and other cattle," as do also New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Florida, Texas and California. Most of the West ern States show an inorease, the largest being Minnesota, 10, and Nebraska, 20 per oent. '- The advance in the price of wool is expected to inorease the flocks of sheep. The States now reporting an advance in numbers are Vermont, 6 per cent.; Texas, 9 per cent.; Arkansas, Michigan, Wisconsin, Kansas and Nebraska, 25 per cent.; California and Oregon, 16 per oent. The numbers of swine have not been sustained in any of the Eastern States The increase is in the South and West, but more particularly in Nebraska (Jo per oent.), Kansas, Iewa and Illinois. The deorease in farm stock shown in : tne New England states, wnicn is in some measure affected by the lessened prices, is more porticulauy due, we make no doubt.to the short hay crop. A season or two of abundant hay crops would doubtless reverse the figures 'above shown. In the important matter of prices there is shewn to be a falling off since Febru ary, 1871, for all kinds except sheep, which have appreciated materially in value. But the decline is neither uni form nor universal a demand for horned stock, especially miloh cows, in the South, having stiffened current prices in some localities. The decline in pi ices for horses is quite general, Texas, where the rates at which horses are held have always been less than in any other State, alone showing a slight advance. Prioes for neat stock are lower than for seven years past, exoept in Texas, where appreciation is resulting from the heavy drain made by the drovers. In 1869, the average price of milch cows in Massachusetts was $67 60; in 1870, $57 00; in 1871, $59 16; in 1372, $39 87. Oxen and other cattle also show a heavy decline in price in the Eastern States, obviously from . the same cause as the decline in pro duction, viz., scarcity of hay and other feed. The ratio of decline in the Middle States is not so large, while in the Sonth the decline has been smaller,, the rates rating always lower and the breed being inferior. Sheep, alone of all the stook, command higher rates. In Vermont the average prioe of a sheep not less than one year old has advanced since February of last year from $2 75 to $4 56; in New York, from $3 37 to $4 32; in Pennsylvania, from $3 45 to $3 70; in Ohio, from $2 49 to $3 37; in Micgigan, from t2 45 to $3 14; in Illinois, from $2 15 to $2 90; in Iowa, from $1 83 to $2 41; in California, from $2 84 to $3 08; in Texas, from $1 59 to VI 73. The Southern States have few sheep, and have not felt the appreciation materially. The decline in the value of hogs is very marked. In Ohio in 1869 the average prioe was $10 35; in 1862 the average is $3 93. An equal decline is shown by the other swine-producing States. DIED. BRAT TON On Monday, at 2 o'clock P. M.
