X-Eir YKAlt’S DAY. Its Observance of Remote Antiquity— Something of Ancient Customs. To-morrow is r.ew year’s day.

On Ihe establishment of Christianity, the usage of a solemn inauguration of the new y ear was retained; but considerable variety prevailed both as to the time and manner of its celebration. Christmas day, March 25th (Annunc'is ll0n Aayj Easier day and March 1st have at different limes shared with January 1st the honor of opening the New Year, nor was it until late iu the 10th century that the 1st of January was universally at canted The early fathers prohibited ail festive celebration, and directed that the year should be opened with a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer [ t'ho old aud young of the present day do not much mind their heed, aud rightly too.] * Tlje lst of j annary Wus regat d 3a a8 the eighth of the nativity of Christ, and hence held ,-.a the commemoration of hiseircum ousion.

In France and England it subsists. Iu many countries the New Year’s Eve, S(: - Sylvester's Eve, was celebrated with great festivity, which was prolonged until after moonlight, when the New Year was ushured in with congratulations, compd’ meutary visits and mental wishes foi a Happy New Year. This is an ancient, Scottish custom, which also prevails in many parts of Germany, where the form of wish ’-Prosst (for the Latin pr.nl) Neu j ihr”—may the New Year be happy, sufficiently attests the antiquity of the custom.

A large number of rooms over-head are occupied by gentlemen. With such infernal noises below slumber was an inpossibility. If they would man¬ age a ball like decent people, no com plaiat would be made; but when they raise tho confusion of demons, and dis turb the stillness and make night hideoua with abominable fuss, it is full time such balls should be presented as a nuisance, and the owners of such places as proprie¬ tors of disorderly houses.

Howard, says that the extent of his criminality will become more evi¬ dent and incontroveitable as the investi¬ gation proceeds. One of the dark war¬ riors who were victimized by the sancti¬ fied Freediiien's Bureau consoled himself, in making his complaint, by the refrain -hit when they were in the hands of the saints they were swindled; hut now, hs they had got into the hands of the sinners, they were going to have justice. Tie evidence against Gen. Howard, it is said, will si amp him as guilty beyond a doubt, aud there is great regret felt among West Pointers at his defection; for they say that the instances have been very rare in which they have been found unfaithful to their trusts in a fiduciary capacity, as CBS'S charge of duty.
