The Mayor’s Court, One would naturally expect the May or’s Court to be especially well patronized the morning after Christmas; but such was not the ca -e yesterday—the attend ance Wing not much above an average. rotor Hilliard, colored, charged with being drunk anti disorderly, was fined fivo dollars. Morris Arnold, who Mind a hand with Peter in the scrimmage, wa3 subjected to a like penalty. Henry Ector: tele a pair of -hoes for a Christ mas gift for himself. The shoe3 wero found in his possession and ho lia l to pay ten dollars and go without new shoes at that. Two ca rs of drunk and disorderly— in both of which a ioppression of names ba boon requested—were flu 1 iweaty-livo dollars each. Andrew Bond, charged with xtealing, was remanded for warrant.

They found the regular invoices of sweet mcats.toys, etc., in and about their stock ings. IThat a blessed thing for them it was thnt they aro not adopts in judging tho quality of goods; clso their little hearts would have been saddened at the effect tint tho panic had had upon Old Santa’s stock in trade. But with them "ignorance ten bliss,” and they were just as happy over a ten cent toy os if it bad cost a dollar. Their confidence in tho integrity and liberality of their patron is so great tliat they take his gifts withont marring their happiness by fool ish questions as to tho quality or quantity of his gifts. They aro happy to bo re- mcmb red by him at oil, and a china doll, at twenty-fivo cents, produces as much honest delight a* swat doll at two dollars nnd a half. Fathers and mothers possibly conjectured os much beforehand, anti made their expenditures accordingly.

Their sufficiency and propriety have been ahnnd- antlv verified by the approval of the best financiers and actuaries in the countiy. 8d. The Universal offers a fair, straightforward and business-like contract—so much insurance for so much premium. 4th. Everything promised in the Company's advertising documents is guaranteed in iU policy, ineluding an equitable surrender-value clause, in which a stated amount of paid-up life or paid-np term insurance is given for each year of the policy. 5th.
