Christmas was celebrated in jolly
fashion. Several hours before day
broke. Monday morning, the streets re-
sounded with the unpleasant and un-
natural sound OF tin trnmpets; followed
oy discharges from pistols and fire
crackers. Improvissd proceesions pa
raded the streets during the day; but at
night there was perfect pandemonium
lire crackers, rockets and Roman
candles were being discharged in every
direction, and timorous individuals were
forced to use their legs. Several battles
with these fiery implements occurred,
but with the exception OF slight burns, no
damage was done. Later in the night
commenced the transferring of signs,
etc. prominent milliner found .'cider
and liquors" over her place OF business,
while the Exchange announced 'fash-
ionable millinery" Over the door of
the City Attorneys Office was to be seen
"Clty Clerks Office" The PHGH1x sign
has not yet been discovered. There was
an extra force OF police on duty. but the
eep.disturbers were not disturbed:
and, as in Tam O'Shanter, the ..mirth
and fun grew fast and furious"
