8 : CHRISTMAS. ROW IT WILL BE OBSERVED. The Day in New York, Brook- lyn and Jersey City. SERVICES AT THE CHURCHES, Public Amusements and Recreations. “For unto us a ‘child is born, unto us a son is given: ard the government shall be upon his shoul- der,,and his name shall be called Wonderful, Coun- sellor, The Mignty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah ix.,6.) “And the angel aid unto them, Fear not: for behold, I bring you 00d tidings of great joy, which shail be to all peo- ple. For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, Which 1s Christ the Lord.” “And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, Glory to God in the Inghest, and on earth peace, good will toward men,” (St. Jonn il, 10, 11, 13, 14.) ‘Thus the coming and the birth of the Saviour, the mighty God, the Prince of Peace is foretold and an- nounced in the Old and the New Testament. And the whole Curistian world commemorates to-day the anniversary of the fulfilment of the prophet’s prediction. Nations celebrate with pomp and cere- smony tho birth of favorite rulers; peoples of enlight- ment and marching onward on the road of intellectual progress, revert joyfully back to the days that gave them the heroes of mind and science, who stand as monumental milestones on the pathway of civiliza- tion, The birthday of our republic and the day which was brightened by the first glance of him who was “First in war, first im peace, first in the hearts of his countrymen” are days of rejoicing and festivity among us on their annual recurrence, And so the anniversary of the birth of Him who founded for all mankind the reli- gion of love and’peace is justly a festive day of joy and delight in every part of the globe whither His doctrines have reached. This feastday of the nativity of Christ dates from the earliest times of the Church. As every community loves to do honor to tts benefactor, so the Christian community honors the advent of the Saviour, At first it was remem- bered only by isolated congregations and at different times of the year. Some connected it with their harvest feast, some with the baptism of Christ, Epiphany, on January 6, some with the incom- ing of spring—the reawakening of nature—April 20, and some on May 29. About the year 130 of our era the observance begame general, though the Church in the West adopted for it the time of the Epiphany, while in the East the period of the vernal equinox was retained for the festival. Not until about the middle of the fourth century was one day set apart throughout all Christian commu- nities. A commission of ten, learned in the laws and the history of the Church, was created by the Papa, a bishop of Rome—then still the mistress of the world and the seat of all authority—to determine from whatever of scriptural and profane testimony they may be able to gather the Gay of the birth of Christ. This commission, after laborious inquiries and persistent search, finally united upon the twen- ty-fifth day of the original tenth month of the year, or December, and this selection was generally acquiesced in and afterwards made the law of the Churck (A. D. 386, under Pope Chryscstom). And as M is written in the second chapter of St. Luke, of the shepherds “keeping watch over their flock by night’? when “the angel of the Lord came upon them,” an- nouncing the birth of the Saviour, it was assumed that Christ was born during the night. Hence it was ordained that the day shall be ushered jn with solemn ceremonial and that mass be read at the hour of midnight, again at dawn and later in the morning (from tus springs the name ot Christmas), und thatthe evening preceding shail be spentin spiritual devouon to prepare for the holy feast of commemorating the coming into the world of the Son of God. ‘Thus is hurriedly traced the origin of this Christian festival, and if Christians would only retnember the words of Hiai whose birth they ceiebrate to-day, “Love thy neighbor as thyself’ and ‘Therefore all things whatsoever ye wouid that men should do to you, do you even so to them,” then this day would be no empty ceremontal and the heavenly greeting would be fulfilled, “Ou earth peace, good wil toward all men,” and then the tjunction of the Apostie Peter would be obeyed, “Be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another; love as brethren, be pltuful, be courteous.” ‘The festival of the nativity of Christ, at first a purely religious ceremonial, gradually extended into social festivities in connection therewith. These differed according to the duferent habits and char. acteristics of Ihe different nationalities a8 they be- came Christianiz ‘The heathen celebrations of many were transferred into Christian form and sig- nificance and the policy of the old Koman republic in conquered countries was adopted by the Roman Church of Christ, and the process of assimilation roceeded with the faith and mythology of the tharch as the underiying, tone-giving fountain. Locai traditions were interWoven with the accepted Telations of tie Bible, and thus local sentiment gave each country 1s own characteristic customs in the celewration of the Church festivals and also of the Christmas, Kempe in this country an agglomerate of almost all mauonalities of E conmsined the pron fron, being exciusively igious feast it has be conc, 26 it were, @ popular national holiday, sane- tione 0 by custom not only, but by positive law of And all, be they Christians or heathens, n the faith of Christ or Jews or infides, have ‘cir annual merrymaking at this season, throug Wout the vast expanse of the country, Thougit the boar’s head, commemorative of the fabie of a stu Vent’s tarusting a Bible Lovo the jaws of a puar- suing wiki boar and time choking him, ts seidom seen here,. yet the rollicking, boisterous spirit of Old England, vewpered by clvilities of modern life, is not missit The rful family reunions, the Christmas wees with te gitts for young and Md— “as every rap hath recelved the gift even so minis- ter the same oue to another,” says St, Peter—of the Germans we ave nationalized in America, and the balis and dances of the ligtt hearted people of the routh of Burope im honor of the day have also found a second Lome with um Hence, while the churches wil! be opened to all for the religious commemorataon of the Nativity of the Saviour, in thefanily cirele of all nationalities the rejoicing will be great, aud the more public demonsirations equally a8 numerous, Therefore let itbea “merry Christmas’? to all, and jet the poor not be forgotten, sor f is written in the Sacred volume, “And above all things have fervent chari- ty ; ior charity shall cover # multitude of sins,” and “ieswed ure the merciful, for they shall obtain anerey.”* TRIMYY CHURCH SUNBAY SCHOOL FESTIVAL. Ascene of great interest presented itself yester- Gay, at wiree jock P. M., a& Trinity church, The scene was the annual festival of the Sunday school cluidren, including the distritaution of gifts from a Christroas tree. About 400 children, though many are welt grown up, their ages warying from five to twenty, comprise the puplis of the Sunday school, These children, &# 18 well known, ate picked up from tue streeta and receive their Sumday school teach- ings at No. 98 Liberty street, Professor Eggleston, of Commhia College, being the superintendent, who is aidied by two assistant @uperintendents and some (thirty teachers. ‘The qviildren were g.ven seats in the middie aisle pews of the church, and & more sailing and age company of children ia rarely © Be@ seen. ‘The rest of the church was flied with spectators, who enjoyed the festivities with seemingly quite as much vest as the Sunday school sebolars, Suging the “Processional,” begioning with the 1s Stood Where « mother laid ber baby In a manger for hie oper 64 the performances, After this was read the “bye ing players,”” conducted by Dra Vinton and Ogilvy, when the children sang & Christ- mas iro, which was set to fine music and excelici tly sung.

Broadway is always Broadway—busy, bustling, Magnificent, Of course we refer to those hours of the day when the street is most crowded and when the incessant throngs moving through it, of people on the walks and omnibuses and carriages and carts on the roadway, present a panorama of stirring lite and commingling groups and splendor nowhere else to be seen, not even excepting the gay French capital or the stately grandeur of St. Petersburg. But on no other day im the year 1s Broadway what it was yesterday—what it ‘always is the day preceding Christmas. Everybody appeared to be out ug a, TR apa pe hei aan eecrsbony was buying something; everybody @ parcel 0} bundle; everybody cng smiling and happy. And all this despite ‘the keen, chilly air and its fitful blasts whirling the: dust with maddened fury all about. Along the entire line of the street the scene was one of incessant animation and beauty. Such @ rush- ing in and out of stores 19 rarely seen, and the shop windows never showed such tempting displays of holiday goods. Everything that heart could desire in the gift line or that fancy could con- ceive was here. Many of the shop windows, in addition to their Fay ‘attire of splendid sliks and dazzling jewe.ry, richly gilt-bound books and rarest perfumes, had in them festal trees of holly and Jaurel and pine and other evergreens suggestive of the holiday period and old and young hearts to be made now specially glad of all seasons in the year. From early in the morning till late in the evening Broadway and its stores conunued to be crowded, and so, too, the omnibuses and carriages, unusually numerous and bearing more persons than ordinarily, aiding to bring in and bear away the incessant throngs of holiday gift purchasers. Our proudest paterjamilias, who rarely enter the family carriage on shopping expeditions, had yesterday to join the great army of buyers. 1c was a pleasant day to shopkeepers, Who never can be kept too busy ex- changing thetr goods for greenbacks, and the result Was pleasant this morning to thousands of little folks aud a great many older foiks as well, The Bowery. If there was a different class of people yesterday on the Bowery from those on Broadway they were just as busy in their purchases of holiday gifts and just as happy in making the purchases, There was an unwonted crowd in the street all day, but at@night it was jammed with the additional throngs. The latter had been at work during the day, but they could not let the night pass without getting something to put in the tiny stockings of their little ones at home, Their hearts were large and liberal, uf the purses of many were not well filled. A feature on this street was the multi- plicity of rates for turkeys and other poultry for to-day’s Christmas dinners. Many got their turkeys cheap; but many in their efforts to accom- plish this result disbursed considerably more than the average market prices for this class of leathery bipeds. The Avenues, All the avenues were yesterday and last evening 1n a whirl of busy activity. Buyers of holiday gifts commenced early, and with the continuous instal- ments of new buyers they were kept crowded, and the purchasing kept up till late. It was a most pleasing and gratifying sight—such a sight as can be seen but once in all the year, and then only after sunset on Christmas eve. WASHINGTON VS. FULTON MARKET. Christmas Eve at Washington and Falton MarketsMountains of Turkeys, Gcese, Chickens, Prairie Hens, Rabbits, Opossums, Venison, Beef and Mutton,—A Lively Time All Round the Board. WASHINGTON MARKET, Washington Market did exceedingly well last Thanksgiving, but in the poultry line it surpassed itself last night, judging by the mountainous dis- plays of turkeys, chickens, geese, ducks, pheasants, partridges, snipe, &c., added to which were heta- combs of “b’ar meat,’ venison and the usual quanti- ties of beef, mutton,veal and lamb, not omitting the Christmas trees. The quantity of these gathered in and around the market was perfectly wonderful, and, beheld by a stranger, would lave impressed him with the idea of the plenteousness if not of the “greatness” of our country. Streets upon streets withia and without this “beautiful structure,” which is so much admired by the Aldermen and the Supervisors, were filled with birds of every plumage, size and degree of fat- ness, and, of course, ali were tender; and the baskets of every shape and size that were there, and the women, old and young, plain and beautiful, well dressed and poorly attired, happy and miserable, and of every nationality, Dutch, Engush, Irish, Scotch, Welsh, French, Spanish, Italians, Hun- garians, Bohemians, Norwegians, South Americans, Chinamen, Yanks, who carried them, It won't do to enumerate. It is only necessary to say that the two leading human elements which form the bases of the hodge podge of “New York As It Is"—the Dutch and the Celt—were assembled in crowds, cheapening, worrying, haggiiug, joking, poking, squeezing, smelimg and buying. But come, madam, having placed your turkey or chickens in limbo, stuffed and ready for the oven, let us review the scenes in which we participated a few hours since, “while the-night was fad young,” in the neighborhood of Washington Market, and terwards at that solemn old aifair where fish do most abound,” the F dies. Our way ts through Ve et, westward. What & (eas-ing street it is, to Li Bat we ar the market. acious goolness, ma’am! where did all those they look like auctent hens, so large they these geese, and tose tu '8, and those-- f fat things 1s in store for ¢ really blinded with the myriads of gas- lights, crusued by the eager crowds that will buy with- out jooking, and mathemat stunned by the array of bipedal and quadro es that lie before and around us! Where did all these come from? Oh, you must talk this over with the Hudson River, Harem, New Haven, Erie and Central Railway people.’ Have they not for days been forwarding packages of the plucked to this great town that we, its gormandizers, might be plucked in return ¢ FULTON MARKET. Now let us, if ‘ible, get back, throngh the crushing and buying and selling crowd, out of Washington Market. Ah, here we are, ma’am, in Vesey street once more. Well, it isn’t much of an improvement, is it? Do you see that fellow there dressed in colors, with a long queue and Chinese hat, standing at that tea store, and handing, to those who will accept them, small bilis—ali about tea?’ Well, that genius pretends he’s from the Flowery Kingdom. Do you believe it? No! That, ma'am, shows even Wash- ington Market, patrontaed mainly by the Jerseyites, hasn't wholly deprived es your senses, an that’s sometiiing to brag of. 'The people of Fulton market are pecuitar. They don’t reseinble the Washingtonites a bit, ma’am! ‘The Washing:onites are ton mutton, and veal, and chickens, 4c., while the Fuitonites spread them- selves on coffee oud cakes, oyster stews, and fish of every size, quality and degree of freshness. Neither do kick up sucha row on the easterly as they do on the westerly side of the town. Why? you ask. Because, ma'am, Fulton Market is patronized princi- pally by Brookiynites. and these are not always in a — of moral revolution, like the aborigines of New pain. . People are decidedly more orderly here, There is little pushing, and crushing, and jamming. In lien of thia, however, and by way of compensation, flesh and fowl are held at pretty high figures, while fish is always reasonable. @ converse of this is the case on the aad side of the city, especially on a holl- day nigh ve have # good many substantial butchers in Fni- ton Market, and the dealers in vegetabies and poultry are quiet and respectable. They don’t cut down fig but what they sell you ts good, so they say, and they ought to know. The Knickerbockers patronize the shamples, the hucksters a! the apple ‘and nut stands the cofice and cake men, and it is to be noticed that the men whose mal song is “Hurry up them stews” have a wi eas for pies, Christinas isn’t much at Fulton Market, Sante Cla\ jan’t given that way. Unlike the people who congre- gate in the vicinity of Washington Market on Chrict- mas Eve, there are few things to attract the pur- chasers autside of the “‘subsiantials,” for Fulton ts Tasclous on cig od and sirioina, aud, like the aged estavlishment it is, re- tires early. At midnight, that is, ma’am, when you had just finisved stuiting that last stocking for Freddy or Nelly, Washington and Fulton Markets were cleared out, and the owners of the stands having counted thelr profits, retired, wishing that Christmas Eve fell not on one, but three hundred nights tm the year.

Twitchell remains perfectly impassive, notwith- standing the chain of circumstantial evidence which the Commonwealth is welding day afier day to con- vict him of the marder of Mrs. Hill. He sits quietly the dock conversing with his friends and making in suggestions to his counsel when engaged in the cross-examination of witnesses. ‘The evidence offered to-day related to the prison- er’s pecuniary circumstances, showing that the miil in Camden rented by him had been distrained upon for debt, and that he was in debt fora part of the purchase money for a bower used in the mill, In re- Jation to the prisoner's clothing, which his counsel applied for to have submitted to chemisis for the purpose of ascertainmg the nature of the slains upon them, the Court decided that they should D in the hands of any respectable chemist or physician to be selected by the prisoner, with the consent of the Court. They should be properly identified as the very articles offered tu evidence by the Commonwealth before they are delivered to any person selected by the prisoner's counsel, and for this purpose that person should receive them in open court, and they should then be examined in presence of au officer or oflicers of the court. This ofer was not accepted by the prisoner’s counsel. OECISION OF THE MASSACHUSETTS SUPREME COURT ON THE LiQUOR LAW. Boston, Dec. 24, 1868.

The Skating Ponds and the Rinks. Yesterday added another to the many busy days Prior to the advent of the great Christmas holiday. At this season, as a general thing, persons of all classes seem to relax somewhat from business and address themselves to amusements and pleasure and in prepa- rations for the full celebration and enjoyment of Christmas and New Year. The city hotels are crowded with strangers from abroad; hence the theatres are well patronized, and amusements of all kinds find patrons, The streets yesterday were thronged with people; the stores where holiday goods are sold were filled with earnest buyers. Notwithstanding the cold snap everything looked cheerful and in- teresting. A walk through the streets was a pleasure—an at- mosphere of good humor pervaded the community. THEATRES AND MINSTRELS LAST NIGHT. At Pike’s Opera House last evening it was evident that Offenbach is becoming @ decided favorite every- where; and if so, he may thank Manager Bateman for a good share of his popularity in New York. The crowds of holiday faces that testifled their apprecia- tion of the excellent manner in which “ Les Bavards”” and “La Chanson de Fortunio” were placed upon the stage spoke volumes of satisfaction and enjoyment. Wallack’s theatre was just as steady and quiet as if Christmas was six months away. ‘The old castle of the “legitimate” presented its usual appearance of contentment and an apparent determination to listen to the excellent production of ‘The Wonder.” It ae well presented, and the audience perfectly At Niblo’s Garden noses of the most purple huo, cheeks blanched and eyes bedimmed with tears crowded nearly every available part of this spacious building yesterday Stening “‘Atter Dark’? was immense to the strangers, and many thought London a mighty queer sort of place and its repre- sentation truthful. At the Broadway theatre nothing could have been more attractive on Christmas eve than the “Emerald Ring.” It revived the old associations of the many spectators present, who did- not fail to appreciate the excellence of the piece by frequent tokens of ap- plause. At the Olympic theatre there was more laughing at the hilarity) of the youths last even! than at the actual representation of the far famed ‘‘Humpty.’” The crowd was tremendous and the enjoyment such as can galy be participated in Christmas eve. At the New iork theatre the Worrell Sisters aid their best last evening to put their audience in the best of spirits by the representation of ‘Blue Beard.” ‘They succeeded, At Wood’s Museum Miss Lydia Thompson and troupe made herself known to inany a new face last evening. The wheel of “Ixion’ went round with a briskness that astonished a few, while all the excel- lent songs, admirably sung, elicited decidedly favora- ble tokens of approbation. At the Bowery theatre there 1s no denying the fact that the fun last evening was sincere, hearty and just the thing for the multitude of strangers who thronged its limits. ‘Ragged Pat,” by Miss Herring, was hailed with a bumper from all parts of the house. At the Park theatre, Brooklyn, “Aladdin,” with all the oriental improvements, was greeted last cven- ing by a well fliled nouse, and not a few wished to become possessed of the wonderful lamp. ‘At the New York Circus all the young folks who had seen the appurtenances of their Christmas trees satisfactorily adjusted were surely there last even- ing, When bareback feats were performed with un- usual daring, to the atausement of the juvenile syin- pathizers. The Brooklyn Academy of Music was more suc- cessful, if possible, than on Wednesday evening. ‘fhe performance of ‘“Genevitve” last night was received with downright enthusiasm. Gabel almost surpassed himself, while Rose Bell was as charming agever. The advent of “Genevidve in Brooklyn has been crowned with success, Whatever may be said of Tony Pastor by his ene- mies, no one can deny that variety is his motive, ‘The gentlemen of the Bowery paid bim @ Christmas visit last night in large force. ‘The minstrels were better attended last evening han on any other during the week. At Kelly & Leon’s “‘Karber Blu,” interpreted by these heroes, put a good humored audience into a state of risibility not to be forgotten till next Christ~ mas. At Bryants’ Minstrels the many patrons of Bryant & Co. were doubled by their cousins and country friends last evening, and from the commencement to the termination of the programme the neat littie concert hall was retained in a state something tanta- mount to convulsions, No medical men were culled 0. At the San Francisco Minstrels, notwithstanding the many counter attractions elsewhere, Birch, Wambold, Bernard and Backus combined to do jus- tice to the classic melody of “Bone Squash Diablo.”* It wai regular Christmas entertalninent and as such thoroughly enjoyed. At Hooley’s Opera Houses, both im Brooklyn and Williamsburg, ‘Santa Claus, or the Children’s Friend,” was produced with all the accessories necessary to render it interesting to the host of Christmas visitors, . - RECEPTION AT GRAMMAR SCHOOL XO. 4, The female department of tils school provided a fine musical entertainment yesterday morning ua- der the direction of Professor Curtis, the occasion being the introduction of the newiy elecied trustee for the Thirteenth ward, Mr. Joseph F.

Tracy, Dr. George Skit, United States Army, and others. - The pieces were of appropriate selection and were ali sung in @ manner eliciting toxens of great approbation and pleasure. This department numbers quite 400 pu- pils and is presided over by Miss Catuarine White, principal. In Primary Schoo! No. 10, Cannon street, which is also a Thirteenth ward school, flattering notice of Mr. Tooker’s retirement was taken, the children, among other songs, ving, with evident feeling, “Auld Lang Syne,” and the remarks by his old asso- ciates of the school board being very compliment- ary, bearing testimony as to his tamweat to the best interests of the schools he has served for the past five years. Miss Sarah J. Hatield is the principal of this excellent school, and she aud her assistaits deserve great credit for the appearance of the pu- pils under their care and the meritorious character of yesterday's entertainment. ATING. A Day’s Good Sport—The Ice aud the Ponds, Yesterday afforded the best skating which has been known this season. The contiaued cold of Wednes- day evening and yesterday morning had the effect of making good clear ice upon all the ponds, and thus providing excellent sport for the lovers of the exhilarating pastimejof skating. As a consequence, the day was acarnival one with skaters, and in all parts of this city and Brooklyn numbers of warmly clad men and maidens might ve seen making their way to some crystallized ex- panse, bent upon enjoying the fasiionavic outdoor amusement. The day and night were gio- rious, and just suited for exercise of any sort which could produce warmth, The wind was cold and searching, numbing the extremities, and with ite — breath it red into every portion of the uman frame which was not ee ee against ite attacks, but notwithstanding biting wind hundreds of devotees di themselves the slippery ice and warmed themselves by gliding about upon thelr steel-shod feet. There was good ice uae aad consequeatly skaters on every avail- le sheet, ‘The Central Park Pounds ‘were well covered with an even surface of good ice.

The lay of ry ing was not large, the majority of the winding curv- ers being of average ability in their movements over the glassy surface. But it was evident that all ‘were themselves, and that in spite of the cutting wind Which whiatied around them there was genuine pleasure to be ¢: meed in their id motion. To-day there will be good skating at the Park ponds, and every pre; is being made to accommodate the crowds who are ex- pected to spend part of their holiday on skates, The Empire Rink. ‘The ice at this now popular resort was good yester- day over part of the surface, but to the eastern end the skaters were not allowed to go, as that por- tion of the rink was smoothed and Nooded in order to have the whole expanse in w fit condition for use jay. roughout the day large numbers of ns enjoyed their favorite amuse- ment upon the western portion. A band of music was stationed in the orchestra, and to the strains of popular tunes the visitors on ive be- neath. Some very fine displays of skating were made by adepts in the sport, and some very funny tumblings were indulged in by those who were unused to going upon steel. Alarge number of ladies graced the scene with their presence, and showed by their ski!) that, op the ice at auy rate equal to the genticuien who aecome they were qui Panied tue. : The Union Pond.
