sions, especially when Wheatlelgh ap-
peared as "Snorkey," Otto Burbank

New YEARS DAY.-The banks and
express offices in Gold Hill and Vir-
ginia are closed to-day also, several
Of the principal business houses, in OBJ
seryance or celebration Of New Years
Day, which came on Sunday this year.
The San Francisco Board of Brokers
is not In session to-day, consequently
the brokers' offices here transact no
business. These are about the only in
dications Of any observance Of the oc-
casion; otherwise business Of all kinds
goes on after the usual style. Yester-
day was more appropriate, even though
IL was Sunday, and many people made
their usual friendly New Years calls,
exchanging mutual good wishes
for the future, and mutually partaking
OF the traditional cake and wine, egg
nog, etc., deemed essential OIL the oc-
casion. The churches were well at
tended, and the various preachers made
more or lesa reference to the new year,
che past the present, and the duty OF
all Of us as to the future. Saturday

ings were held ut several Of the
churches, and assemblages Of the de-

new year in, after the good old style.
