PREsENTATIoN.-Last evening the members
of the Una Boat club sat down to an excellent
oyster supper, got up in the best style of Reed
& Mckay, at Lancaster Hall. Prompt atten.
ton was paid to the disposal of the finely
favored bivalves, after which the club was
called to order and Mr.. Robinson Williams
presented to Mr.. w. III. Brazicr, on behalf OF
the club an elegant meerschaum pipe in a
few brief but appropriate remarks, in which he
referred to the support Mr.. Brazer had given
to the organization ever since he had been a
member, how 10th they were to part with him
and trusted that his future pathway might be
as smooth as the polished meerschaum and
that his aspirations might not end in smoke
Mr.. Brazier thanked the club most heartily fol
their beautiful present
Mr.. Webb next, on behalf of the club, pre-.
scented Mr.. H. B. Keazer with an elegant
bronze inkstand of a most unique, chaste and
sug yestive pattern. On the inside of the lid
was inscribed, to H. b. Keazer, from the Una
Club, Dec. 8, 1869. Mr.. Keazer responded in
the same happy vein, and the speech making
concluded the rest OF the evening was passed
in "blowipg cloud" of the fragrant Nicotiar
weed, and the singing of favorite songs. 1t was
a most delightful, free and easy affair and
heartily enjoyed by all. Messrs. Brazer and
Keazer are about to take their departure fol
the West. With the members of the club We
wish them full need of the success they SC
we'll deserve.

CITY AND VICINITY.

NEW YORK, Dec 8-Recorder Hackett to-
day charged the grand jury of the Court of
General Sessions TO inquire into the violation
of the laws as to lotteries, the sale of liquors,
ETC., to prove thoroughly and definitely charges
of offence against the election laws, to initiate
q memorial to the Legislature embodying their
views for checking the reckless use of pistols,
and informing the jury that the case of Daniel
Mcfarland will come before them. Their duty
in the case was very simple, viz, to ascertain
if the allegation be true that Mcfarland fred
the shot that caused Richardson's death. The
questions in the matter belong to the petit
jury. The Recorder concluded as follows: eff
there has been bigamy committed or aided or
abetted by any persons, no matter how elevat-
ed in life, they may fearlessly investigate the
matter, and on arriving at the fact of probable
guilt promptly indict Mrs Mcfarland" The
trial is unlikely to come off until January.

ST. MARy's DAY-At session Of the Cath
olc Bishops held in the Unite States at Bal
timore, in 1866, an order was passed naming
the holy Virgin Mary as the patron saint OIL
the Catholic world in the United States, the
action of course requiring the sanction OF the
Holy See. 1t was favorably re 'eived by the
Pope who named Dec. Sth, as st. Mary Day,
day of strict obligation for the Catholics but
as it is not named among the holy days OF the
church the present Ecumenical Council will
decree whether shall it be made one.l Last
wear the day was celebrated in very impos-
ing manner by the Catholics at the church of
the Immaculate Conception on Cumberland
street, with high mass, and discourse by
Bishop Bacon. The Bishop being absent this
year the day was observed by low mass both
at the Cathedral and at st. Dominic's, and at
the Cathedral the music was sung by the child
rens choir
