New YORK, Dec. 25.-Christmas was
ushered in by a driving rainstOrm, which
degcneratcd into a drizzle thai continued
iutermittingly throughout the day. The
people had hardly ceased making prepara-
tions for the social observance Of the fcs-
tival when the religious services were
begun with the midnight mass in few OF
the Catholic churches. and in all of these
churches from early morning until noon
low and solemn high masses were cele.
bratcd for crowded congregations, The
Episcopal churches were filled to their ut,
most capacity, especially Trinity, where
the music and decorations are tie grandcs
and most tasteful, In most churches, ot
| other denominations, special services were
keld. and in the lecture-rooms of nearly
all, the Christmas tree was raised up anC
laden with presents for the children. Ii
the charitable institutions the christina
dinner was provided for the inmates, while
the newsboys in their two homes wer,
bountitully provided for by Rev, Father
Dramgotle and Mr.. William Fleiss.
In the neighboring cities the services
were of similar character.

cage was very generally. observed .yester
day. All the principal business houses
and an overwhelming majority Of retail
places, we're closed durlDg the day, In
the morning, the services at the various
churches were we'll attended, sermons
suitable to the occasion were preached, the
altar and communion,tables were hand
somely decorated, and everything wore a
thoroughly gala air in matters Of religion.
Fortunately, the customary holiday muir
der was not reported up to midnight, and
the chances are that Christmas, 1875, will
pass over without adding another to the
many victims of alcoholic excitement and
deadly weapons.
Santa Claus came with full hands sto
hospltable homes. Big and little hearts
were gratifed by the gifts of love and
friendship. No sleigh bells rang merrily
on the holiday air, for the reason that the
weather clerk, in an inexcusably strange
way, failed to furnish snow,-something
very unusual in connection with Chicago
winter festival. This was, indeed, green
Christmas, indicative of singularly mild
