CHR1sTaIAs COMES BUT ONCE YEAR; and it is
well this is SO, for otherwise paterfamilias would
soon have to take the benefit of the Insolvent
Debtors Act. King street was crowded yesterday
from early morn till late at night. The stores were
full al day; grocers, confectioners, toy shops,
fruit stores and fancy goods dealers, reaped
golden harvest. Nurses walked up and down King
street with their infant charges, respectable old
gentleman went along, escorted by daughter or
two, from store to store the weight Of bundles
increasing at every step, till he ready to cry
out: sPity the sorrows Of poor old man." Old
and young, black and white, male and female all
we're out after st. Nick and from the amount Of
luggage they carried, they appear to have been
successful.
AS night set in the crowd became denser. Won
SAETEN's was craumed, many not being able to
get into the store, anxiously waiting for an oppor
tunity. The charge Of the infantry yesterday we
fear, has "gutted" the establishment. KINsMAN's
was lively place, also, all day and till late hour
Of the night. How much French candy, &C., &c.,
they sent out yesterday, it would not be easy to
| estimate; but it certainly was considerable Rus
SELLS was also much freqnented, for books, work
boxes, illustrated fancy tales, Mother Goose's
rhymes, and all kinds of stationery. There were
other stores also very much occupied, but these
were most 80 of such as we saw.
| Those lovely musical instruments, in plain un-
scientific language, derominated tin trumpets,
gave concerts in every part Of the city, sometimes
solo, sometimes duett, trio or quartette. Our
Chinese friends. the fire crackers gave us salute
/ in front Of The NEWS Office, which delighted our
young devils not little. We have heard Of no ac-
cidents SO far, and hope there may be similar
exemption to-day.
The market last night was one Of the most lively
scenes we have seen in this city. The place
was brilliantly lighted, and the throng so great
that it was only with difficulty housekeepers could
wend their way through. The stalls were plenti-
fully furnished and the wares displayed in tempting
array. The fruit market was adorned, Christmas
fashion, with boughs Of evergreen, and the apples,
lemons, oranges, bananas ETC., looked nicer
or more seductive.
