The SchnnI Rnir

The St. Patrick's School Fair at Naugh-
ton Hall was largely attended last night,
and the receiptsrwere as large, and perhaps
larger than on any previous evening. We
noticed in the crowd many whom we had
not before seen at the Fair. We hope that
the same thing may be true of the visitors
this evening. The Fair will probably
come to close on this, or tomorrow even
ing.
There are several of the most valuable
and most splendid prizes yet to be drawn,
and persons will do well to avail themselves
of chances in these without further delay.
There are the Rosewood Piano, the Mink
Furs, and other prizes we have before mem
toned, yet open to competition. Secure
tickets for the drawings in these. Do not
forget the refreshment stands at the Hall,
and remember it is a place where you may
reap much enjoyment and do much good.

New Years in the City.

Yesterday, New Years Day, was pleas
ant winters day, ard, so far as we observ-
ed, passed off in our. city very agreeably
and quietly. Little occurred to mar the
usual pleasures of the day, except the fire
on Gay street, noticed elsewhere. The or
dinary, greetings on like occasions were ex-
changed with more than usual cordiality,
and the customary New Years calls were
made, and the ladies received their visitors
with the courtesy and grace for which the
fair OF the Capital are justly distinguished.
On the whole, there was good beginning
made yesterday in our city for friendly
and happy new year.

ed pleased and delighted with the interest
ing novelties presented. The appearance
OF these native Indians, yet all but in their
wild and savage state; their strange cos
tunes; their war and other dances; their
war, scalplng and other songs; their smok-
ing the pipe of peace; their mode of wor-
ship, games, plays, &C., were all calculated
to rivet attention and interest even the
most Indifferent spectator.
Tonight this exhibition positively closes.
We advise all to 60 and see it, for it is full
of entertainment and information as to the
appearance, customs and peculiarities of
actual Indian and savage life. Go and see

efHB B @@ y teepfIou. y WlM0g

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Notwithstandin
the disagreeable condition Of the weather
from the recent storm, the first New Years
reception of President johnson was large
ly attended. The doors OF the Executive
Mansion were at IL O'clock this morning
opened to the foreign Ministers and the at
taches, who were In full couFtdress, some
of them displaying their glitteTing badges
of distinction. Sir Frederick Bruce, the
British envoy, was the first arrival of the
diplomatic corps, which was fully repre-
sented. The greeting appeared to be mu-
tually happy, especially in viewot the fact
that there Is nothing iD the condition
OF our foreign relations to threaten the dis
turbance of the general peace. ALP the
members OF the Cabinet, the Justices of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
and other prominent civil officers, together
with Senators and Representatives, also
paid their usual annual visit to exchange
their customary salutations with the Presi-
dent. 81 1g-ea, ~ "a
At half past eleven O'clock the officers of
the army and navy and Marine Corps were
similarly received. They were all in uni
form, Lieut.. Gen. Grant and staff being
conspicuous among the imposing group
surrounding the President. >, ele' '2,aot
AT noon the reception of citizens COM
menced and continued for more than two
hours. The Marine band performed In the
Yestibule. The visitors entered two abreast
and passed into the Auditors rooms, and
then having been severally introduced by
the United States Marshal to the President,
and shaken him by the hand, they passed
Into the East Room, from which they found
an outlet through one of the frontwindows,
a flight of steps having been plaeedon each
side OF It for, their egress. The daughters
OF the President, Mrs. Patterson and Mrs.
Slower, were also near their father, and re-
ceived ladies and gentlemen visitors. Ev-
erybody seemed to be cheerful in the ex-
change of the usual salutations. s.-t
The public departments and other places
OF business are closed.
After the Generals reception at the Ex-
ecptiye Mansion, all the colored persons OH
the premises, not however, large mum
Der, were admitted and paid their respects
to the President. All the members of the
Cabinet, excepting Secretary Seward, who
is absent from Washington, and other Gov
| ernment officers, aud the Mayor and many
private cisizenf received their friends.

for delivery to that body 1t is, therefore,
not yet officially before the public. We,
however, publish it this morning, because
it was given the public on Sunday morn

against its non-delivery to the General As
