VIEWS OF THE PAST.

Janus, the two-faced god. to whom, among the
Romans, this day was dedicated, and from whom
the name--January--of the montn 1t commences
was derived, had among others a faculty OF looking
back upon the past while scanning the future.
If there are few tw0-faced geniuses, other than
1gurative ones, there persons who, having in
common with all people the power OF taking back
looks. are undeterred by the fact OF prophet hav-
ing no honor IN his own country from asserting the
possession OF an equal range OF observation with
Janus. But ignoring those To whom the "future ls
an open book the HERALD proposes to daily give lts
readers review OF the important occurrences upon
the previous anniversaries OF each date.

different stores. Last evening the heads
OF some OF the larger families found their pocket
books entirely depleted The transmission OF all
kinds of edbles from the grocers, the butchers and
bakers to the various dwellings, was noticeable
throughout the day. and judging from the quantity
OF goods of all kinds disposed Of by the store keep
on the principal streets the past year with most
cltizens has not been altogether uuprsttable.
All the public Offices and courts closed at an
early hour yesterday afternoon and will remain
closed until tuesday, as the first day OF the new
year will be observed the second. Some OF the
heads OF departments propose to receive their
friends.
