HitJio»’»lliU. We tlniro to talk plainly I
toovreUiaeoa, With regard t| (he manifest in-
juatiee that ham been doa«* the talented and
accomplished artiatea that a.s now performing
at lUleton'a Hall. Their cm. rtamn.en
-r.fiocd, rhaste, and arnusing, and merit the pat
ronage ef the lw*t people. When Mr. and Mrs.
Watkins Aral arrived in enr city, they not only
deferred their entertainment on account ofthfl
Christinas tree, bat volqnUrilj offered their]
aenrieea which proved a great acquisition to the
entertainment far the benefit of tbe orphans of
our city. This flat alone, amide from the distin
guished feputatiou of the artistes, should induce
yur citireus tu patronize their entertainments.—
When a circus or a traveling mountebank comes
to Iowa everybody ami b»a wifi*, it sure to
attend; bat when a gentleman and lady of lift
reputation of Mr. and Mr-. Watkins, with ]kt
formance* that are ref.ned in their character,
and calculated to amiM the people without pan-
dorlng to low and vitiated tastes, we find their
audienoM are universally small, fa this because
oar people prefer a clown aud a monkey to re-
fiaed and intellectual amusements us Mr. and
Mrs. Watkins now offer. Wo cannot believe tfcift
ia the case. Theyyimply do nut know what a
treat h offerr*d them. Our citizens have nn op
portunity, which wi 11 prove the last, of evincing
thair gratitude lo thesa ladies and genllernau for
their services at (ha City Hall last Saturday
evening. h#t them av ail themselves of it. Let
avery young gentleman in town be sure and take
hia sweetheart to night; afi.l if he has no sweet
heart, let him take his mother and sisters, and
our word for it, they will be afNeably enf/rtain*
ed, and will not regret having taken our advice.
Maven's Cos'rr.—Moat of the cases adjudica
ted in this Court, in the past two day.-, were for
drunkenness in its various forms—from its in-
tipieqt maudlin stage to its noisy or coniah se tor
Urination- In consideration of the gay and fes
tive nature of the occasion, his Honor was in-
dined to be lenient, and the majority went their
devious ways rejoicing, on payment of the trou
ble of lugging them up t.» tho Captain’s office.
On Christmas day the following parties were
up:

And row. It Appears that they had »tl 1 imbibed
pretty free'iy of mean whiskey, but, instead of its
having the effect of making them each steal their
own clothes, put some of them in tho" notion of
nppropi iating tho wardrobe* of the others, end-
ing in a free fight, in which clubs were trumps—
the police coming in and'taking s hand, aud
locking the whole crowd qp. $crry—a black
berry of the pqrest water—was proven to have

Tbe Day.—Christmas day opened gloomily
enough, after a night of darkness and fog, but
the bright rays of the sun soon disj^lled the
dark clouds, and gave promise of a beautiful
day. The air was spring-like—as soft as beau
ty’s cheek and as balmy as the breath of an in
fant—the sky cerulean. Every element—earth
air and sky, gave indication of the advent of the
Lord of Light—the Prinee of Peace.
The day was Uihered in by music and theexplo
sion of firearms and the miniature cannon of the
juveniles, followed by the quaffing of egg-nog,
flip and Tom and Jerry and other jollifying stim-
ulautd.
At an early hour the boys assembled on Cherry
street, with their tooting horns, and soon the
confectionary, toy, fire work and fancy stares
were regularly besieged by the youngsters in
nueLt of Christmas gifts, affd soon the ears of the
dealers were tortured by the "fra, free, fro,” ofj
those diabolical little wind instruments—the
length of the delightful serenade being propor
tioned to the alacrity displayed in complying
with their demands and the amount of the
largesse. It was high old fun to the boys, but
migbty trying on tho nerves and temper of the
shop keepers. •
o of the churches Christmas is a high
day, and solemn, yet joyful, ceremonies were
gone through with at tho Catholic and Episco
pal churches. The churches wero beautifully
and tastefully decorated with,evergreens, and at
the latter the beauty of the scene and hour, was
enhanced by the singing of a Christmas hymn
by the children of the congregation. ’Twas a
harming sight, indeed, the children ranged
upon the step3 of the altar—from the well-grown
>y and girl down to the little wee toddler who
uld scarcely gland Alone—and whose sweet
young voices soqn blended in praises to Him
whom it pleased to take the form of a little child,
that he might bring tidings of great joy to it
i-cursed world.
A.t home and on the street, all seemed to be
enjoy ing themselves—especially the dear chil
dren, to many of whom it was, indeod, a "Merry
Qhristmas,’* bo different to what the poor little
things bad been Accustomed during the four years
of blockade that kept Santa Claus confined to
more hypoborean region. They wero wild
with delight, and seemed never weary of admi
ring the token of affection which the good Saint
had left during the previous night
To the piniso of the entire population bo it
(laid, thero wr.s less excess and dissipation than
wo have sv«n dn like occasions, and more favora-
bje auspices. Even the darkies seemed to be
enjoying, themselves in an orderly^ foanner,
though some few of them were rather the worse
from over .loses of pop-skull; yet on the whole,
they demeaned themseives well.
The night was a bright and glorious one—the
moon shining in her resplendant glory—making
it almost too light for the display of rockets,
wheels, serpents, ete., with which the festivities
were wound up . and aoou all retired, weary, yet
satisfied, with this our first peaceful Christmas,
after a four years’ saturnalia of blood, and with
high hopes that our copiing Christmas will be
ye» more joyful snd merry.
