TIE ErGHTH.-Yesterdsy, the sth of January,
was legal holiday in Louisiana, and we were
glad to see the day respected by our public insti
tutions. The banks, the Post Office, military
headquarters, etc., closed their doors; and from
the newspaper Offices and other public institutions
flags were flying in honor Of the day. Though ia
some Of our streets the business concerns OF our
people were transacted as usual it was plain that
there were many who respected the day as of old.
We would have been glad, however. to see some
military display as it was in the olden time, and
some demonstration made by the few surviving
veterans of the sth of January, 1915.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2, 1858.
"New Year, 1865, is now among the things
which were, and very few can remember a more
unpleasant, uncomfortable ushering in of the first
Of January than was that of yesterday.
At midnight of the last day of the old year the
snow commenced falling very rapidly, and the
wind blew severely. This continued until day
hght, when rain came down, and froze as it
dropped; but the temperature soon moderated
and the rain fell very fast aud steadily, which rem
dered the walking ntolerable, the slush-puddles
at the street corners were ankle deep. Carriages
were in great demand, aud prices ranged high.
Young men who chased around half the night for
a sleigh, in anticipation of a merry day. were
most sadly disappointed and those who could not
get them exchanged for close coaches were in a
bad way, although some few ventured ont with
bells and runners.
ChTisty played a negro minstrel farce by that
name, were much more INDUCED in than now.
The custom, although one of very agreeable
nature, is not so universal as in former years,

that cigar and gass of wine with friend at
home is preferable 20 calling from twelve noon
until twelve midnight. These views are certainly
very ungallant, but they were expressed yester.

The usual amount of "seeing the old year out
and new year in" was celebrated by the Metho.

the "ber."
A little too much of the latter was INDUCED ia
by policeman named Grennan, which rendered
him so crazy drunk that he assaulted several cti.
zens with his club and pistol, one of whom was
mortally wounded. Elegant specimen of pre-.

force were ordered on duty yesterday by the
great mogul, Kennedy, fearing that some boy

part of their parade the rain fell in torrents aud
they looked like drowned cats.

average were good, and certainly must have fully
satisfied the managers, if that is possible.

apart one skating pond in the Park, where an ad-

extremely hard times.
The idea has been frequently discussed, aud ii
will rest with the park commissioners whether it
is carried out or not. Certainly simpler form for
benefiting Igood object cannot be proposed, as
the thousands who go TO these ponds to skate
would not feel the loss of small sum for days
sport, and at the same time for those who could
not even afford this, there would be three other
ponds where no charge would be made.

reliable Information can find as to where the fire
did originate. Martin Bree, Hugh Henery and my

fire. We were awakened by the alarm, came down
into the store, and there found that the fire was

Fire

About o'clock on Wednesday evening small
stable, IN the rear Of Sanderscn g. Ford's meat
Market near Olmstead's warehouse, was discover
ed to be on fire. The stable had been used for
his horse by Mr.. Moriarty, whose grocery store
was near by, and was full of hay at the time,
which had taken fire. For some minutes it
seemed inevitable that the whole wooden block,
in the midst of which the stable stood, must 60,
but the fire engines arriving promptly, and get
ting with equal promptness into action, soon got
control of the fire in spite of the strong south
wind blowing at the time. The loss of the stable
itself was trihe. But Sanderson 81 Ford, by
the sudden removal of their stock, and demo-
lition of the inside of their market, must have
lost couple of hundred dollars. SO Mr. Moriarty
was loser by the sudden removal of his goods,
as were also Shafer 81 Co., harness makers; j.
Ceilings, tailor; Julian La Faive bootmaker,
and Mr. Joseph Meyer, saloon keeper. All were
subject to more or less loss, as well as much in
convenience, by the sudden notice to "git up
and git" ..a .l s.
On the same evening, some three hours later,
the new Foundry Of Mr.. VIM. stormat, on La
Sale street, northwest of the Public Square,
was discovered to be on fire. 1t was Q wooden
building, erected six months ago, and was total
ly destroyed. Less estimated at about $1,000, q
heavy part Of which falls on Gilman, King s.
Hamilton, who had . large number of their
most valuable patterns there, as well as many
heavy castings. The fire is supposed to have
been accidental. The men had been casting un-
til late in the evening" and it is supposed che FIRE
about the TASKS had not been extinguished with
sufficient care, ..'...
