The Caribaldi costume has been adopted by the

red shirt, black neck tic, belt, and Kossuth hat.
This style of dress has several advantages, being in
expensive. Costing not over ten dollars a suit,) and
admirably adapted TO our climate. The sabres will
be furnished by the War Department, and We wish
we could announce the whole cost of outfit as defray-
ed from the appropriation for the military. The COM
pany will muster on its first public drill on Saturday
afternoon, at 4 o'clock.
The WEATHER for the past few weeks has been
indescribable, unless n succession of Gains and gales,
with wind from all quarters, north, south, east and
west, interspersed with abortive attempts to rain
can give an idea of what has been prevailing. The
trades failed us on the Odd of November, and pro-
badly have been pretty well broken up throughout
this ocean for the past month, as the ships lately in
from the OcbOtsk report passages of 90 to 60 days
from thence, with strong winds from S. to S. f. On
looking over our weather record, we find that the
trades seldom prevail here steadily in December.
They cease usually about Nov. 20, and return again
early in January, variable winds prevailing in the

CHRISTMAS + CoMIxG.-So the little folks tell us,
and they generally watch the almanac and holidays
pretty closely. Aiessrs. Won Holt & Heuck have
just opened al assortment of goods and toys which
are just the ting and just in time. Papas, who

there can be no .pobgy for fast driving through our
