 Have come and gone. The year 1869, with its numerous events and reminiscences- momentous to many--has taken it's place Tn the long line of its silent predecessors. and will soon be thought and spoken of as the "dim past" Many who welcomed it's coming with heart as glad and hopes as bright, have fallen by the wayside in lifs's lourney-fallen to rise no more. vf Christmas is always joyous festival. here, more especially is it observed by the numerous Episcopalians and Oatho. lies among our population. The churches of the above named denominations var. as usual. handsomely decorated, and sp- propriate services held. Some of the oth- CT churches We're also handsomely dressed ID green, in commemoration of that great event which caused the angels to sing

 The new year was ushered in with 4 warm, pleasant morning, but in the after noon rain storm m set in and the weather was much colder. Business was generally suspended, and with this exception very little was seen to designate this from any other day. The sale of holiday presents, as usual. has been large, and some of the dealers in this class of goods have done 6 thriving business. E ETTCTtE4I
 .rr.r Ja IMPROVEMENTS, ETC. f- .r{
 During the past year many improve ments have been made here. A large num- Der of new buildings have been erected and several are now in process of erecti on. Among the nest noticeable of the latter are g new Baptist church in the western part of the city; Roman Catholic church on Hillhouse avenue, which, it is said, will, far outshine any other of it's class in this part of the county; and two new buildings on the college grounds-both fine struc- tures-one to be used as dorfnitory for the students. and the other as Divinity Hall,, for the Theological Department exclusive. ly. Many handsome private residences have also been put up, of which I have not time nor space to write at length. The New York and New Haven railroad com. pany have nearly completed extensive re- pair shops, and the Canal railroad compa- ny has lately made great changes and i'm provements in its property in this city.

 All kinds of business, here, during the past year have been comparatively good, and New Haven is steadily growing in wealth and population. It is one of those pleasant places which combine the luxuries and conveniencies of the city and the priv ileges and enjoyments of the country. A dweller here can always find something to please and amuse. without being wearied with the jostling and confusion of large cities. @r @ sA s~1D"'.A
 EMANCIPATION DAY. "

Lloyd Garrison addressed, at length, a large assembly at Music Hall, in the even ing. The proceedings were orderly, and creditable to all concerned. .5h'5 5.r,
 THE wEATHEP. ~1+ E." DE-
 With the exception of one or two severe storms, the weather for the past three weeks has been delightful. The grass on the parks is nearly as green as in early spring, the ground contains little or no frost. and the temperature is exceedingly mild. People here have about come to the conclusion that old winter has given us the slip this time. Fevers and some other kinds of diseases prevail here quite exten- sively. It is also said that small pox cases have been frequent of late This would seem to indicate that colder weather would be more conducive to the health of our people. sa~ s6a9,at 'b2s @3t.sf-91 15ts-
