f ite ata Orricer.—Washington can no ar be classed among the villages of thi f epublic ; its thistle-grown “ old fields” have jong since been encroached upon by street ex- tensions, and our friend, Col. W. W. Seaton, would be much puzzled now to catch trout back of St. Patrick's church, orshoot wood cock in the slashes. As we have attained the rank of acity, we must always expect to become sub- ject to those usual he2ith destroying influences, which are unknown to smali populations. Washington has reached a stage of progress and prosperity which requires the interven- tion of strict sanitary regulations and the adoption of those modes of pores health, whieh have been elsewhere attained by tardy, and often, too, painful experience. A system may be adopted, before serious harm can arise, and thereby, the old reputation for * health within our borders,’’ te preserved.

Mr. Epirorn: The hospitality of wany of | our good citizens, who have been in the prac- tice of receiving their friends on new year’s duy, has been so muci abused of late as to determine several of those who have kept en house’’ on that day not to continue it In some houses, besides the sub- stantial viands which have been spread out so abundantly for all who pay their respects on these occasions, so great a profusion of intoxi- eating drinks is added that the very worst results have ensued. Children and youths, and even old men and women, too, have been invited to the intoxicating bowl, and in not « few instances habits of intemperance have been the co: uences, and evils not to be told have enaued. Knowing that your paper reaches the eye of every family, and particularly of those in the habit of entertaining their /iierds on New Year’s day, I have taken the liberty to call attention to this subject, and to suggest that ifthe custom, ‘‘ more honored in the breach than in the ebservance,’’ be not altogether abandoned, our worthy hosts may at least 70¢ serve up intoxicating drinks to the promiscu- ous crowds who ca// more for the purpose of gratifying their appetites in that particular than in doing honor to any one. The serving up of refreshments on these occasions has been quite given up in the Eastern cities, and, 2l- though formerly done in the President’s House, its abuse there required it to be abandoned long since, and 1 am in hope, if you throw out this suggestion in your paper, it will have the effect of breaking up this pernicious practice forever in Washington. flow much more rational, and agreeable, and sensible, will itbe to pursue with our pri- vate aud persenal friends the same course as it cow observed with the President ns on these occasions. Let us call upon our valued friends shake them by the hand, wish them the hap- py new year, leave our card, and return home tu reeeive the visits of others, sober and bur gry to exjoy our own dinner, surrounded by our own family.
