QUARANTINE LANDING, STATEN ISLAND.
Dec. 30.-l:40 A. M-The United States
steamer Ossipee passed quarantine about
IN p NJ, followed by the revenue cutter
Grant. She did not stop at the quarantine.
and could not be boarded. She did not
have the Virginius in tow.
New YORK, Dec 29.-The Tribune saws
no tidings can be obtained concerning the
Nirginius. She can hardly have been left
in the lower bay since the tide is every wav
most favorable to towing her up. 1t seems
to be the general opinion here that the Vir-
ginius was either east adrift or accidentally
separated from the Ossipee during the ter
rible storm OF the 28th inst. along the
coast. All recent reports have represent
ed her as being IN leaky and generally
disabled condition Experienced marines
express it as their opinion that she would
be hardly able to withstand the recent gales
which all incoming vessels have reported
| Nothing definite could be learned. howey-
er, at the hour Of going to press.
| John f. Patterson has written to Secre-
tary Fish that he is the registered owner Of
the steamer Nirginius. He protests against
the opinion of the Attorney. General, by
which he and the vessel were condemned on
er ,pdrte testimony furnished by Spain. He
states that the Solicitor of theTreasurv gave
him a bill of sale of the steamer; thereQpon
he Patterson truly swore that he was the
owner, and the government gave him an
American register, which has ever since
protected her; and that any testimony
charging purjury on his part is false. He
has hitherto kept silent by the advice OF
his counsel, and because he has not beer
notified or called upon by the government,
to testify or defend himself in relation tc
the matter. He requests that copv of the
evidence upon which the Attorney Gener
ais opinion is founded, be sent to him, anG
that he be notified Of the time and place
for the examination of any other witnesses

GLOSS and FRESHNESS OF yOttUt' hiA
hair is thicikened, fallen hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
,decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, SO that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
Of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning grey or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often SO I'M
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

Ritualism in New York.

Christmas Eve was celebrated in an i'm
pressive manner at the Church of st. Mary
the Virgin, West Forty fifth street, between
Broadway and Eighth avenue, New York.
The church was richly decorated. Il was
fragrant with flowers and bright with ever
green. The altar fairly bloomed with flow-
ers; wherever you looked you saw burning
candles and exquisite garlands. The 100 can
dies on the altar were not lighted, being re-
served for the high mass, but the red sanctu-
airy light was burning. Like Christmas the
church was full Of light and fragrance and
joy and sweet voices mingled in the praise of
the Almighty Giver Of this happy time. At
the vesper service, at eight O'Clock last even
ing, Mr.. Prem ice, the organist of the church,
played the overture to Aubers Grown Dia-
monds," which Is full of light, sparkling airs.
The choir then went i'm a procession from the
choir room to the chancel, and the Rev.
Father Noyes, who officiated, intoned beau
tlful prayer The vesper service from Gou-
nod, a service of psalms and chants, was sung
by the choir, and then followed the Novello's
"Adeste Fideles" ("Come, all We fathful'l
which is in the maestro's best style, and was
listen d to with profound attention. During
the offertory the "Cantique de Nocho was
sung VI CtllioJlidS I've, IuIl OF JOV
Gus strains and happy sentiment. Millard's
''Magnificat," one of his aorid compositions,
which finally breaks out into a brill ant &c O.
ria," followed. 1t was sung in a very credit
able manner. But the choir fairly eutdid it
self in the ''Te Deum,' in which the music
seemed to express the sublime yearning for
Christ. During the "Te Deuir,' not a breath
| could be heard. Ali was siler ce and devo-
| tion, and when the congregation depasted
they expressed themselves highly pleased
with the beautiful, soul stirring music. At
midnight there was low celebration OF the
holy cammun' on. A large number of com
municants attended, despite the bleak, cut
ting weather. 1t was indeed contrast to
| come from the bitter, searchin cold and the
bowling wind that gave so dismal sound into
the cheerful church, where everything re-
minded you of peace and happiness and joy.
| Without all darkness and desolation-wifhin
shining light and the perfume of lilies and
the fresh evergreen. The epistle and gospel
lights Illuminated the altar, which looked, 1t
possible, even more beautiful than at the YES
rer service. Father Brown oficiated, aud the
celebration. which lasted about half an hour,
was marked By great piety and devotion on
| the part OF the numerous 0onmuhlca IS.
No more inspiring celebration Of Christmas
| Eve could have been held, none that could
| have filled the minds of communicates with
nobler thoughts or higher aspirations.
