2 NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1859. WINTER SPORTS. rts om Arrangements for the Season—Spoi the eeouring—™ Central Park Pond. Now that we are soon to have a skating poad worthy of al Park—an immense forty acre fleld of peadisteaia great in extent as the famous Boston Com- mon, and easy of access from any part of the city, it is to be presumed that all kinds of suitable games will be essayed there this winter, In anticipation of the furore which must follow the announcement of the Pond veing ready, we give a full history of the old Sootch game of <<Curling,”’ one which will, no doubt, meet with great fa- vor from those of our citizens who delight in icy sports. Carling is a game of great antiquity and popularity in the southorn and western parts of Scotland. It is a win- ter game, played on the ice; aud where tho rivera and ponds are frozen, usually supersedes all other out-of-door ‘amusements. As the ice requires to be much thicker than for skating, it is usual to form ponds go shallow that the whole water becomes a frozen mass, capable of bear- ng up any weight. ‘ iyo is played by a party forming rival sides, each Individual being possessed of fa circular hard stone, of bout nine inches in diameter, flat and smooth on the ‘ander side, and on the upper having @ handle fixed to the ptone. Hach player is likewise armed with a broom to sweep the ice,.in order to accelerate the progress of the stones, and his feet are ordinarily furoished with tram- ‘pets or crampets, which help to steady him in taking his ‘aim, A large, long, open space of ice, of from thirty to forty yards in length and eight or nine feet across, called arink, being cleared, and a mark or tee being made at each ena two play to, the contest takes place by each person burling or causing his stone to slide towards ‘the opposite end of the rink. A certain number being the game, the object of each side is which will have the reatest number of stones nearest the tee; and all play fom end toend alternately till this is ascertained. To hurl these stones with precision, iu this species of sport, is exceedingly difficult, much depending on the keeuness of the frost, the tove of the ice, and the truth of the stone. Sometimes the best and oldest players are baitlod by beginners, simply by their curling-stones having taken a bias toope side or another, and frequently, aiter the ‘Dest players have piaced their stones ia «cluster around the tee, one rapid shot from an antagonist will disperse the whole in all directions round. Occasionally it also happens that in hurling, the stones come far short of the mark; but if they do not get beyond a lige called the hogg Score, they are dragged aside, and are not counted. ‘A more than usually exteusive match is called a bonspiel. Such is @ meagre outline of the game of curling, which, all over the west and south of Scotland, during the keen frosty days of winter, engages all classes of persons in its excitiug sport. Parish contends against parish, county against county, club agaist club, in universal muirthtul rivairy. At Edinburg, where there are neither rivers nor ponds, the inbabitants resort, for the amusement of curl- ing, a8 well as skating, to the adjacent beautiful small lake at Duddingstone, lying at the southeastern base of Artbur’s Seat. Here a most avimated scene is exhibited during the period that the waters of the lake are frozen. Numbers of rinks are cleared, at which may be seen playing together persons in almost every shade of society — professors of the University, clergymen, private gentle- men, merchants, “smen and arusans—all meeting on @ common level, and engaged im the same spirit-stirring pursuit; for in curling there ig no aristocraey of feeling, and so for the time a universal saturnalia prevails. The game of curling is eulogized by more than ene Scottish poet, parucularily by Grahame, who thus commences a description of the sport:— ‘Now riva’ parishes and scrivedoms keep, On uplard lncha, tbe log ex tryst, "0 play their yearly bonspiel. Aged men, Smit with the eage ness ot youth, are there, While ive of conquest lights their beanless eyes, New verves their arms, aod makes then young once more, To Mr. Mclharmid’s “Sketches of Nature’? we find the following spirited account of this delightful winter game The time is not d'stant when the game of cnrling was little Kpown out of scotiand, or even it, benorth the Forwh. Bat the taste for this manly sport has increased greatiy within Inte years, and m various parts of hngland, as weil as of Ame: rica, the broom and channel stone are put'in req with the dane reqularits that winter comes round.

At length, as more veteran players advance to decide by their skill the fate of the side the interest becomes intense, and gives rise to 80 many calculations of what is to be dove and what avoided, such bnsthng to and fro, as must appear a perfect mystery to ‘the uninitiated. ‘ihe last wary sbot booms athwart the ice as if impel.ed by magic, and while every port, to an onlooker, seems finds its way, under the guldanoe of a powerful arm and steady ee, through passages rivailing the iat of the wails of Troy. Then follow the shout of victor; rf the murmur cf defeat ull the contestis renewed under the mingled emotions of hope and fear—the vanquished trusting that the tables will be turned, aud the conquerors confident they ‘wil remain the same.

LAWS AB SULATIONS FOR CURLIN In the yeur 1838 wus instituted the grand Caledonian Curling Ciub, for the purpose of uniting ail curlers into a “brotherhood of the rink,” and of regulating the game by general laws, which it was hoped would be adopted by 4ll loca! curling associations. From the annual publisued by the C:ub we extract the foliowing as the rules of the ame :— ae The levgth of the rink shall be forty-two yards; any deviation occasioned by peculiar circumstances to be by mutua! agreement of partes. When a game is begun, the riuk is noi to be lengthened nor shortened, unless by consent of the majority of players. [It is advisable that rinks have double tees ateach end, the one at least two yards behind the other, the whole four to be as uearly a8 possible in the sume line. Tue stones are io be delivered from the outer tee, and play towarus the inne this saves the ice from being injured around the tee played up to.} 2. The rink shall be changed in all cases when, from the springing of water, the majority of players cannot make up. Neither the winning uor losing party have right to object, as all contests must be desided on the fair ana cquitable principle of science—not of strength. 3 The number of shots in a game, if uot otherwise Mutually fixed upon, shail be twenty-one. [A gaine more frequently consists of thirteen shots, or portunity serves, that the business of eatin joisy as the buriness of play; rounde of ot home brewed, disappear with a rapidity even of seven, than of any others, when an hour or two | ‘of practice is only mtended; but this 1s a matter of private arrangement.

Court of Common Pleas. OrpgeRED—1. That a new General Calendar for trial terms be made up for the year 1860, notes o. issue for which must be filed before Saturday, the 24th day of December, instant, specifying whether the issue is to be tried “by a jury,” or “by the Court without a jury; also, stating thereon its number upon the calendar of 1859, and if it has been marleed ‘‘down,’’ wher it was so marked. No cause will be entered upon the calendar ynless the note of issue conforms to these requirements. 2. There will be but one calendar made up for the year 1860, and but one note of issue need be filed in any cause. Causes noticed after the January term will be placed at the foot of the General Calendar, according to their dates of issue. Causes marked ‘down’? will be placed at the end of the calendar. 8. Causes may be generally reserved by a written con sent of the attorneys, flied at any time before the cass is on the day calendar. Causes so reserved may afterwards be placed upon the day calendar, on the application of either party to the Judge at chambers, provided tw « previous notice of such application be given to the adverse ty. ar causes marked ‘‘off for the term’’ shall have pri- ority at the succeeding term, and will be placed at the head of the calendar therefor. . The calezdar of causes to be tried by the court, without a jury, will be called at the trial terms on the fourth Mondays of January, March, May and November. 6 Fifteen causes will be placed on each day calendar, and no calendar will be made for Saturdays. 7. At the general terms, in appeal cases arising in this court, the parties may by consent reserve the argument until the second week in term, when all so reserved will be called in their order on the calendar. But in appeals from the Marine and Justices’ Court no such reservation will be allowed, and counsel therein must be prepared (or the argument when the case is reached in its order. 8 In any action on contract, where thure 1s reason to believe that the defence is interposed for delay, and that the trial will not occupy more than au hour, the plaintiff may, upon a notice of four days, apply at chambers to have the cause placed upon the special calendar for short cases, and which will be made up for the last Friday in each tial term. The novce must be accompanied by tho affidavits (if apy) upov which the motion will be founded. It the motion be granted, the order to that eflect shall forthwith be delivered to the clerk, with a written notice Specifying the number of the cause on the general calen- dar. Should the trial occupy more than one hour, it may be suspended in the discretion of the Julge hoiding the court, and the cause will thereupon be placed at the foot of the general calendar, unless otherwise specially ordered.

For the last two weeks we bave had stirring times, and been living in the expectation of times still more interest. ty than anything we have a8 yet realized. By last mail J forwarded to you, without commout, a litle corresyoa ence between his Honor Judge Eckels, of Camp Floyd, and his Honor Mayor Smoot, of this city, which, as the lume, wus generally regarded as indicative of approaching stormy weather, The homorable gentiemen have never had any personal quarrel, but as tho representatives of an- tagonisuc interests, thetr movements for peace or for war are ulways of consideradio importance for others on both sides. Throwing olf restraint, T may just as well say it wow as at any other time, that “Yeace in Utah” is a very vate plaut. Anything like blunder, or anything ap- broacbing the appearance of seckiug = quarrel, in u mo- ment stirs up everybody. True or false, Judge Kokels has the stereotyped charge against him of oomtinually wecking @ difficulty with the Mormons, and the latter not ouly watch him closely, but in the event of His Honor ox- ercixing any extra judicial authority, they make instang preparation to claim their rights, and, of course, have a fight f need be. Somebody has said that “there’s a Pro- vidence that sbapes our ends, rough bew them how we will’ —or something near enough to that agreeable conso- Jation—but whether or no that Providence wok much or any recognition of either the Judge or Mayor, it is certain that to neither of these gentlemen are we indebted for Our present peace, The whole story of the difficulty may be told in a few words. One Andrew M. Smith, a Mor- ‘mon ‘‘apostate,”” who has lived with the army since its entrance io the Territory, comes over trom Camp Fioyd ww this city, gets psy, becomes abusive, seeks his pisto) and threatens fight to somebody. The Mayor chances to following morning Andrew finds himscif before an Alder. ma of the city. kixewbere, with the Alderman’s rebuke or bis fine, the affair wonld have ended, and sbould there have ended bere aiso; but in steps the Chief Justice, and on lis part surs up everything that w figbtable im the community. ‘To me, the Judge’s residenos with the army appears Particularly unfortunate. ‘To me it so appears, for any Official act emanating from bis “chambers at Fairdeld””— the suburbs of Camp Floyd—furnishes the Mormon com.

OUR EXPEDITIONARY CORRESPONDENCE, CaP ar Foor or Diving or Caruk ’ ALENE Movuwtains, W. T., Oct. 1, 1859. Progress of the Fort Benton Wagonj Road Expedition—Route Adopted—Its Practicabiliy Ksablished—Steam on tht Missouri to Fort Benton—A Supply Prain—Vrossing the Mountains, de., Be ‘The friends of the Fort Walla-Walla and Fort Benton ‘Wagon Road will be glad to earn of the progress of the expedition which bas been engaged in ite construction suring the past four menths. When last writing the road was being located up the valley of theCwur d’Aléne—this ine being found to be the most easy and practicable ap- Proach to the Cour d’aléne range, and now 1 am happy to inform you that the working forces have reached tho weaterp foot of the ‘Divide,”” a point distant from Walla” Walla 267 miles by odometer measurement. From the Mission up to this point the line has rua mostly through a thickly wooded bottom, necessitating much and severe labor in cutting; besides a considerable portion of the work contisted of grading, clearing, &c. Yet the anxiety shared by all was an ever-present stimulus to the men, and right bravely did they push onwards, appreciating every application of the axe, the pick and the shovel. In order to secure the best location in a mountain sec tion, Lient. Mullan, chief of the expedition, thought it beat to establish the line that would cross several small streame, tributaries to the main Cour d’Aléne river. Be- fore gaining the “Divide of the Mountains” Lieut. M. syat forward av old mountain explorer, Mr. Sohon, who, in wis geueral examinations of the country leading t tho Biter- root, discovered ap easy and excellent slove of descent from the Divide, involving po grading. This hus been chosen as the best way of crossing the range, and is called tn bonor of Mr. S., “Sohon’s Pass.” As usual, the dliffer- ent parties of laborers have been put to work’ upon the Divide, and we are sanguine of crossing the mountains by the 10th inst., striking the valley of the St. Francis de Borgia; thence pushing on to the St. Mary’a valiey, whith- erward our eyes bave been intently turned since we left the climes of civilization and hospitality among our friends at home, From what I have written you will porceiv> that although many and great have been the difficulties before us—but which have appeared as nanght to a body of men who have started ont with an iron will and firm purpose to open the line—the statements hitherto made by some in New York, touching the “impracuoability” of this road, have been thus far Succeestully controverted. ‘Truly, zeal and energy are the pre-eminent characteristics of ‘the American people, and this same Pacific coast sufficiently attests the utili: tarian spirit of our nation, What means the recent estab- lighment of steam navigation upon the Columbia wators a far ws Walla Walla? Moreover, ere this you Lave doubtless told your readers that 800 miles of steam navigation have been superadced to the Missouri—thanks te the enterprise of the Mesers. Chouteau, of St Louis, whose steamer, the Chippewa, made a successful trip ‘to Fort Benton in the month of July. What, then, remains to complete the chain? It 1s to practically construct an emigrant route from Walia: Walla to Benton. This is being done, and ere many months you will learn of Mullan’s expe- dition having sately arrived at Fort Benton. A supply train, intended for the United States soldiers acting as our escort, arrived at the depot camp, some twenty-seven miles in our rear, on the 15th of September, under command of Major Grier, and Lieut. Fergusson, } They made the trip from Walla-Waila in thirteen days, Without the least accident or inconvenience. They may Wel) appreciate the road, as far us they came, for it cost us fifty days of severe toil to open it. Lievt. Mutian kas not been with the main camp for the past six weeks, but is here amidst the hardest work, putting his own shoulder to the wheel, and infusing activity and zeal among the men, by his good judg- ment and indomitable energy; moanwhile the ‘main camp remains in charge of Lieut. White, of the escort. It Las been necessary to place a strong force of the en- listed men upon the work, under Sergeants Hutton and Cashman. Lieu‘. M. is confident of reaching the Bitter- wood early in November. The trains will cross the monptains in about two weeks from this time. An express will ply between Walla-Walla and the Biterwood Valley during the winter—so our friends in the States can continue to write us, sending their letters via Fort Walla Walla, W. T. The Triumph of Fernando Wood. [From the kuchmona Enquirer, Dec. 9.) This resuit in New York city is worth more tothe cause of conservatism than any mecting that can assemble, and all the resolutions that may be published. It is a practical demonstration, a votive offeriug to the cause of union, Might, Justice and gonfederated faith. Itis wiso 8m assurance that the mad spirit of riot will no longer prevail over New York city, whatever may be the course of the people of the State Fernando Wood, the firm, regolnte and determined man, will the Mayoralty ‘a terror to the votaries of the fay com non sense of manhood,” will enforce law er, aud make New York city an exception among n cities, A great political triumph is the least view of its impor- tance; itis the triumph not of part; !our party was + Shorn of the majesty of , by men bat better than our declared ; bur it is the triumph of men who openly and unmistakeably oppose and reprobate republicanism in ail its phases, of Beecher, of Seward, of all its shapes. Such it eceived, not only by the democracy of Virgiuia, but by the whole people, oné and undivided. This 18 18 the first indication of reviving conservatism; \etit be cherished and encouraged ‘The election of Greene C. Bronsoa is also a matter of congratulation to every lover of the Union. Wood and Brouson are men whose views, opinions and positions have always been known, and about which there bas been po uncertainty, no mean wavering for office; but firm, consistent and conservative, they have ever been re- kurced as fair and just men, trae to the whole country, undivided by sections and untorn by faction. We hail this result with great joy and satisfaction, Had New York city, the commercial metropolis of the Uniou, fallen before the advancing wave of embittered sectional: ism, there would not have been land enough left upon which to have rallied the scattered ranks of conservatism But this result gives hope and revives the droopiag spirits of the friends of the Union as framed by the fathers of ’89, All bail! Fernando Wood and Greene C. Brouson, Snockine Svicipe at Prrrspura.—Robert F. Kxts, agea 32 years, committed suicide at the Mansion in Pittsburg, on Wednesday evening, by shooting himself through the heart with a pistol. It appears that he arrived the previous evening from Cincinnati, and in a few hours a female acquaintauco arrived from the same city. They took different rooms at the Mansion Mouse. ‘Tbe name of the female is Annie Wagner, a native of Baiti- Tore, but for three years past living in Louisville aud Cncinpati. The Pittsburg Caronicle, after stating that Kitts intended to accompany Miss Wagner to Baltimore, raving there in the afternoon train of Wednesday , adds:— |; When the time for starting came, it was found that Miss Wayner was too ill to leave, and the fact appearing to teovble Kitts a good deal, his maener became uneasy and restless, indicating a d.sturbed state of mind, which was <6 mpparent a8 to attrnct attention among 'the gnosts of the house. Shortly after eight o'clock he visited Miss Wagner's room, and after a short conversation with her, during which he intimated that he hid been insulted by some one in the hotel, be passed out of the apartment, and placing a four barrelled pistol to his side, discharged its contents through his heart, producing a wound from which almost instanideath ensuod. An in quest was beld on the body, during which it was agcer- that the deceased turmerly resided in Cookstown, te county, and that he ws on his way bome from Cmeinnati, where be had been for some years engaged a8 bookkeeper in the offies of Allen, Harrigon & Co., of that city. He had been on terms of intimacy with Miss Wag- uer for some time, und was retrning home with a view of making such an arrangement with his fathor as would enable him to marry her. Without fands almost, and suf- tering from the eflecte of qninine, taken for a severe at- tack of neuralgia, under which bo sulfered, it is believ that he became disgusted with life, and giving way to the feeling in an evil moment, destroyed himself. Miss Wag: not ts of Englich descent,’ says her parents are dead, and she was born and reared! iu Baltimore, aod that after go- ing to Cincinnati she had eupported herself until she was prostraced by hemorrhage of the Inngs some seven months ‘ago, since which he had entirely provided for hor.

Yates, of the firm of Joseph C. Yatos & Co., Baltimore, against Alexander E. Outerbridge, of the firm of Outer. bridge, Harvey & Co., Philadelphia. The circumstances of the case are ag follows:— ‘The firm of Outorbridge, Harvey & Co. suspended pay- ment some time in February, 1868; and afterwards came to an arrangement with their creditors—Joseph CO. Yates & Co, excepted, who refused to join in the arrangoment—to convey to them all their property. Om the 224 April, 1868, Outerbridge, Harvey & Ce. executed a decd, com- veying to trustees, for the benefit of such creditors as had come into the arrangement, all their property, ineluded im which was tbe brigantine Ella Recd. On tho 24th ef April (two days aftor) the brigantine Kila Reed put inte Bermuda, when on a voyage from Liverpool to Philadel- phia, to obtain provisions and water; and on the 26th she was seized by the Provost Marshal General, under a writ of attachment at the suit of Joseph C. Yates & Co., Mr. Yates happening to be resident in Bermuda at the time. Alter being di for about six weeeks, the Ella Reed was released on @ bond being given to the Marshal by the agents of the veesel hore. ‘The case was brought on for tria! last week, and result- ed in a verdict for the plaintiffs. The decisiun turned om the law of the United States passed in 1860, which re- quires that, in the case of all vessels of the United States, where a party conveys bis interest in such property, the devd of conveyance must be recorded in the Custom House of the port where the vessel is registered. The Eila Reed was registered at the port of Philadelphia, but at the time of the conveyance the leed was not recorded at the Custom House there, nor was it done ustil several weeks after the vessel bad been attachea here. A SEVERE STORM—BEMARKABLE METEORIC APPEAR- ANOR. {From the Bermudian, Nov. 22.) This morning, between haif-past five and the hour of six o'clock, a whirlwind passed over a portion of the rishes of Paget, Warwick, Southampton and Sandy’s, aving in its track evidence of its destructive power. The fine mansion known as Keitu Hall, is partially unslated on the eastern side of the roof; the houses of Mr. J. Will- jams and Mr. 8. Tucker, not many yards east of Keith Hall, have sustained much injury to ‘the roofs; and the Wesley an Chapel, lying southeast of the dwellings just men- Qoned is also partially unsiated. Following a southeast- erly course, we find that Mrs, Turner’s house, in Paget, hear the Southside road, and Mr. Carmi house, in the same vicinity, are also unsiated. Se large trees, both cedar and lemon, were torn up by this tornado. {n Sonthampton, the Rev. Mr. Coombe’s dwelling house is injured in the northwest gable and a portion of the Slatig istorn off. A house bear Mr. Coombe’s is also par- tially uvroofed, Several trees in Southampton and San- dy’s parishea were uprooted by the same sudden storm. Its path, as we learn from a lookout man or board the bark Eliza Barse, at anchor in this port, was from north- ‘West to southeast, and it is obvious that its diameter was very barrow, as houses not many yards on either side of those thatare injured are envirely free from the slightest damage. Mr. Long, chief mate of the Barss, reports that, at the time of the whirlwind a large meteor, hke a ball of fire, of a flaring red golor, passed over Hamilton harbor, from north to south, and suddenly disappeared after it had tra- velled some distance across the land. Alter this visita‘ion a heavy shower of rain fell. At eight o’clock the weather became clear, with a pleasant breeze trom the north. Domestic Ne: Items, STUDENTS IN ARMS.—At a meeting of the students of South Carolina College, held op the Sth inst. at the College chapel, the following preamble and resolution were una- nimously adopted :— Whereas, in view of the condition of our country, long rendered critical by a series of vile aud insidious attacks, which are now assuming a bolder and more throateving aspect toward our most cherished institution of Africaa slavery, we deem it necessary that each man should be a citizen soldier; be it Resolved, That we, the students of the South Carolina, College, do bereby petition the Governor of the Stave of South Carolina to grant the reorganization of the College Company.

DEFALCALTION OF A RatLROAD AGENT.—It has been disco- vered, says the Harrisburg Jelegraph of the 9th inst., that Mr. Jobn A.Cannon, freight agent of the Pennaylvaaia Railroad Company at this place, who lett for the West very suddenly and mysteriously a few days ago, is a de- faulter to the company to the extent of some thousands of dollars. This fact being ascertained immediately after his departure, a telegraphic message was sent to Pitisbarg di- recting his arrest. When he arrived there he was at once picked up and brought back to Altoona, where he is still detained. The whole amount of the defalcation is rumor- ed to be about ten thousand doflars. FAIvRE ty THE Book Traps.—Messrs. Shephard, Clarke & Brown, the well known book publishers of Boston, went into insolvency on the 8th inst. Their liabilities are said to be about $100,000.
