volvers and Jackson crackers. The new
year was not RING in and the old year out
by the church bells. They wero silent.
That old custom celebrated In verse meets
with di.iavor In thess degenerate days II
disturbs sleep, and then perhaps their
solemn tones recall nnpeasantiy wasted
year. And yet 10 some 1t sesms highly
proper that The dying year with Its sorrow
and pleasures should be sadly tolled away
aud The new year, bright with It's hopes, de-
sires ahd prospects, should be suag In With a
merry peal. Doubles. there were some last
night who as they listened to thestriking oil
the hour felt regrets over tho past and
formed MANY brave resolutions for 1851,
There were Others, however, who were as
gay over the death as they were over the
birth. .. Hss
