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.

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.

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.
