THE ADVENT OF LEAP YEnR.
The holidays have come and gone, and
Leap Year, 1850, has been ushered in.
The citizens Of Bismarck celebrated quite
extensively, bat the city has been peace
able throughout. Last New Years eve,
poor Brooks was shot in a Fourth street
disorderly ball. This year scarcely a
drunken man was seen, and some Of the
saloon-keepers closed their places tospcna
the day with til ir families. The day
was beautiful one. The W;slf which
come from the southwest was like spring,
and tle snow on the housetops and side
walks vanished in the warm rays OF the sn.
Callers were out in force, and the air vi
brated with the gingling Of the many
sleigh bells.
BIsMARCK's HOSPITALITY.
The following is taken from The Ne1o
Yeurs Call, published the day before New
Years, for the benefit OF those intending
to MAKE calls: sr..f
bismarck is noted tor lis hospitality as
we'll as for the vigor OF its general health,
and the vim Of its business men. While
society people are not very numerous,
they are genial and open hearted and de-
light in those things that make life en-
joyable-that make it worth willie to live.
The custom Of making New Years calls
was adopted in the early days ofBis.narck
and has been followed with u,tsbated in
terest from that day to this Business
houses have been generally closed and all
or nearly all who care for society, and
whose surroundings will permit themt TO
entertain their friends keep oNs.S uses
on New Years and citizens and; heignbors,
arc brought nearer to each other and are
happier and better for it.
