THE OBSERVANCE Of CHRISTMAS.

The weather on Saturday was such as to render
coolr ess compatible with personal comfort, and the
asy WIS inst such a one as Christmas day ought to
be, Neither wind nor snow impeded the PEDESTRIAN,
and he who e TO observe the day out of doors had
but little to find fault with in external nature.
Business was very generally suspended, except at
The toy and confectionery establishments and bar
rooms and with the Sds of little folks whose par
6euar business seemed to be TO tackle anybody whose
hooks betokened the possibility Of their bestowiog
either coin or other valuable 10 acknowlede of
the compliment paid them by the aforesaid rising gem
esaten expressing the wish that theythe prospective
bepefciaries in retail wsy-eDjOyed an unlimited
quantity of happiness the occasion Of the returning
Christmas. Their business was pursued in droves
and singly, and with pertinacty only eqused by the
inpertuIes of young in the Park toward the
unfortunate party whose boots are not polished. Tue
toy and confectionery store suffered fearful depetons,
but the suerngs did not excite the sympathy Of their
proprietors. Several benevolent movements set on
foot by religious societies aided by fairs held in
different parts OF the city. They were well attended
and pa,ror ized. The fremen were engaged IN testing
two new steam fre-engnes, built at the Novelty
Works. The trial took ps on the corner of Frank
hn street and West-Broadway, and was witnessed by
a large crowd Of people. The engines gave excellent
satissoton, throwing two and quarter inch stream
above the top a the new Liberty Pole, and throwing
stream horizontally distance of 2f0 feet. The tar
get companies were quescent, but the fantastcas
were out in fol- force. more heterogeneous Sc. Of
rspscsllions seldom appeared together.
Religious services We're held in msuy ofthe Protest
ant and all of the Catholic churches. Several of the
Offices tastefully ornsmented The day vas OBJ
served at the Home for the Friendless on Twenty
ninth street. Iu the chapel nearly 400 chldren the
recipients of the benefcs of the institution
bled and gave exhibition 10 the patrons of the in
sttution and citizens The exhibition consisted of ds-
clamaton, music, &C., AMI stened TO With pro
found attention. The Institution dsbxfses sboRt
$4,000 annually.
Throughout the day there . rush Of young men
and boys to the Central Park 10 the hope Of hndirg
good skstIng but the Ne being thin they retarned
with their wish uugra,ihed hoping Cor better luck next
time, vbch transpired yesterday, when the We vas
crowded by sksters in pursuit Of pleasure The opening
Of the bar rooms caused considerable drunks mess 70
be observed in the public streets, and aer ng 1sfa
became sppsrent by the hideous howlngs Of the ise
