The New Year..
The New Year stepped smi1ingly into Its |
place On Tuesday. It was the very perfection |
Of winters day, with excellent slcighing to
match, weather influences superb in every par
ticular, and it was we'll improved by both city
md country. EVERYBODY seemed content to
forget for Il while james Buchanan md his |
and the leaks in the money chest,
mud the tight times generally, and all that had
made the old year past, memorable, and
gloomy, and ominous, and which had cut ont |
very much labor and very much Of difficulty, |
1t will ''e for this year, 1851, to mend and ~
pair. And the Happy New Year WIS duly t
honored, especially By. the younger portion Of |
Every description Of vehicle on runners WIS

morc lightly observed than III some previous
sca=ons, alsl tilat young Binks and his friends,
is general thing, confess to j falling oil in
their lists Of calls 1nade; still, much MAS done
in this line, much cslAe consumed, anu much
small talk washed down with the various bcy.
eragcs Of the day, from coffee, which is better,
to wine and spirits, which are to be held rs
worse, when ole comes to consider that III
half u score Of calls an hour, one must needs
consume considerable amount Of fluid, and
the ladies latest in tho day favored by their
gentlemen friends, often find young Boosy
sitting down in his hat, and the elegant Colt
Brix talking Of " 7ooyalool seec-etne5y." We
are glad to know that turning drawing-roons
into New Years bar.roons is getting TO be
dclunct among our social institutions.
As To the special notes Of the day in the city,
they arc few and OF no large importance. The
Phoenix Society gave ball in the evening at
Metropolitan Hall, Which was well attended.
1t McVicker's Theatre the largest house Of
the season was gathered, and the various per-
formers greeted with wcll-merited applause
throughout the performance. The Concert
aud Fair for The benefit of the aiaydaler Asy-
lum was held ut Bryan Hall, and proved n
complete success.
The Journcyman Tailor's Ball vas well at
tended, The receipts go to the benefit Of pour
''knights Of the Needle" The carriers Of tho
different dailics waited on their patrons with
their "annual address," aud though generally
brave, Oh this OCCASION never refused to ''re-
cciyc quarter" The lecture OF Rev. Dr.. sn,a.
rus, S. j., at the Church of Tic Holy Family,
was attended by ! large audience, aud vas well
appreciated. Walkers o,nuibuses furnish
cd 4 ride both ways to The residents Of tho
North aud West Side. The ponds of the
North and West Side Skating Clubs were I'LL
