The speakers at the New England So
clety RanGuet.

New YORK, Dec 4.-The Herald says: OF
the three principal speakers at the New Eng
land dinner last evening only Secretary Evarts
was born in State lying east of the Hudson
river. Senator Blaine is native Of Pennsyl-
vania and Secretary Sherman Of Ohio. A
singular fact is that the most eminent living
lawyer and statesman of New England have
both long been citizens of New York. The
abiest, hardest and most talented and enter
prisng New Englanders go West, which is
destined to become, not only the center Of
population, but OF political influence. If an
other Webster should be born to New Eng
land he would seek his fortune either in New
York city, like Mr. Evarts, or in the West like
Chief Justice Chase.

900, and 1t is argued that this annual sum, II
Invested for the melioration of the Industrial
classes, would produce results Of almost in

An evening paper says the usual prepara-

but they are much elouded and dampened by
the sad condition Of business md trade by
the almost unexampled severity OF the weather

state Of things. The customary Christmas
trade has been very greatly curtailed, and
