On Monday the streets were crowded by parties who were out making purcatems for the occasion, and the good old'custom of giving Christmas gifts was very generally observed. This custom is said to have bad its origin In the Roman Paganalla, which was Instituted by Servius Tullius B. C. 550. It was kept up by the Christians of Rome after they had aban doned paganism, and still prevails exten. s ively throughout Europe ,and America. Many beautiful and costly articles of use and ornament are annually prepared ex pressly to be thus disposed of, and there is always a rush to the stores during the days which immediately precede the holidays• After dark on Monday evening the streets were filled by a merry crowd—some shop ping, others out to see what was going on. The balcony of Demuth's coulectumary, on East King street, was, as usual, an object of especial attraction to the boys and girls. The grotesque figure of Kris Kinkle and the other queer contrivances, which were kept moviiig, by mechanical arrangement, elicited pealsm laughter from the crowd of juveniles, and - relaxed the muscles ,of ma turer faces. Parties paraded with masks, and wherever they went were followed by curious crowds of boys. Not un til late at night did the streets resume their wonted quiet. Many of the grown up folks worked until past naidnight in ar ranging Christmas trees, and making other preparations with which to surprise the chil dren on the coining morning. The Christ mas tree had its origin among the German and other Protestant districts in the North of Europe. The first forming of the Christ mas tree in England is believed to have been by a German in the household of Queen Caroline, wife of t foorge I V.; aqueet who saw few happy Christmas occasions after her marriage in 1793. The Germans of Pennsylvania brought their Teutonic custom with them. The stocking hung at ,the Mot of the bed or the side of the fireplace, Eris Kinkle, and the Christmas tree were brought here from the Father land at an early period, and that they have not gone out of date was abundantly evi : deuced in Lancaster yesterday morning. There was a general observanceof Christ mas in the churches of our city yesterday. Many of them were beautifully and taste fully decorated with evergreens. It is the tradition that Christ was burn about the middle of the night, and the Catholic custom of ushering in the day with the celebration of three masses—one at midnight, a second at early dawn, and another later in the morning—originated in the sixth century. In former times the celebration of Christmas began in the latter part of the previous day, "Christmas Eve." The custom of sing ing carols, recalling tile songs of the shepherds at the birth of Christ, arose at an early period. In these songs the clergy, high and low, parents and children joined, cembining in the celebration of the occasion the strains of musical instruments with the melody of human voices. ;the custom of decking churches and lAses with evergreen, is derived from the 'prac tices of the Ancient I iruids: Ivy, mistletoe, holly rosemary, buys and laurel, are the favorite trimmings in the old world. In this country' we use cedar and spruce to a great extent. It is one of the traditions that during the eve preceding Christmas day curtain vineyards of the Holy Land assumed their vernal robes, and even the withered roses of Jericho became fresh and beautiful. In the middle ages it was a pop ular idea that during Christmas eve certain apple trees bloomed and bore fruit. To give to this faith a visible form, the evergreen must now lend its crown, and bear golden apples amid the fragrant lustre of wax tapers, that illumine the gifts intended to cheer the heart. This evergreen, with its golden apples, is the symbol of the tree of Paradise that bore the forbidden-fruit. The Christian faith imagined new apples on these trees during this sacred eve, fruits of redemption. And thus the apple, through which Paradise was lost, became the token of redeeming love, through which we are again reconciled to and, and again regain Paradise. This is the inediteval mysticism of the apple, and the reason why the bloom ing tree With golden apples is placed on the Christmas board. Judging from the preparations made be forehand, there was no lack of leasting itt Lancaster on Christmas. tMr well supplied markets afforded all a chance to lay in a supply of good things for the occasion. Of course there was a moderately free indul gence on the occasion, but little drunken ness or disorderly conduct was visible on our streets. The suspension of business was universal and total, and the great an nual Christmas holiday was appropriately observed by our people. SALE 01' CITY I'itori:a•rv.—The Baer property advertised iu the Intelligencer, was sold at Michael's Hotel last night, to John 1 Hartman for $14,730. ATATt:I.: or lii:Nt n t:v.

U 1.13 DOCUMENTS.--The Examiner has been shown two deeds in an excellent state of preservation, and characterized by re markably tine penman:sill p. The one bears date 1755 and the other 177:4 The firs; of these deeds shows that Michael Baughman purchased I ruin the I limorables John Penn, Thomas Penn and Richard Penn, in the year 1742, one thousand acres of laud situa ted in Penn township. county of Lancaster and Province of Pennsylvania, for the sum of one half penny sterling per acre (quit rent) payable annually, and one ear of In dian corn for every hundred acres, to be delivered every year on the first day' of No vember. In 1773 Michael Baughman sold three hundred and fifty-six acres of this land to Ulrich Zug, for sixty pounds lawful money of the Province of Pennsylvania, per acre. Zug in his title was released of the quit rent and the ear of corn annually. Ulrich Zug, tor as the deeds had it Tzug), was one of those of that name who emigra ted front Switzerland about the time these deeds were written, and settled id this coun ty. He died in 1837, leaving three sons and two daughters to inherit his estate. Many of the descendants of these last still live in Lancaster county, while others have left to }mild up new estates in the far west. MIK SURRATI'S HOUSE NOT HAUNTED. —We published a few days since a state ment that the Surratt house in Washington, Which was drawn as a prize by a Lancaster soldier, was haunted. Mr. T. J. Mackey has written a letter to the Hartford Press, in relation to the improbable story which has been extensively published, that sever al families have occupied the house since the execution of Mrs. Surratt, and that " none of them have been able to stay long, as she is a ghostly visitant there almost every night." Mr. Mackey says: This stateMent is incorrect both in letter and in "spirit." The house referred to is, and has been for many months, the resi dence of Brevet Brigadier General 13ulloch, the worthy chief disbursi4ag officer of the „Freedmen's Bureau. The,,General is a arid' bonny Scot," an a tree scion of the thistle and the beadier, he alldws none but good "spirits" to enter his house. Any spirit that enters his hospitable mansion must " down at his bidding," with many " punches ;" and the only "ghost" ever seen there, thus far, is that of the "bold John Barley Corn."

COUNTERFEIT COI: PONS.-A dangerous counterfeit of the United States six per cent. coupon boudsof ISBI has been detected iu New York.

The only difference between the genuine and spurious coupons is in the numbers, which are larger than those of the genuine, and are rather poorly engraved. They are said to be good imitations and to deceive good judges. Bankers shdGld be on the look out, as no doubt they will be offered in other parts of the country. A Fibs MILL.—Hon. Henry S. Magraw, of West Nottingham, Cecil county, Md., has just had completed a very rine grist and merchant mill, at Porter's Bridge, on the Octoraro, about three miles from its mouth, and four Miles west of Rising Sun. The mill is one of the best in the country, every thing being of good material and finished in the most modern style; containinz four run. of burrs, three bolts, smut machine, rolling screens, bran dusters, in fact everything necessary for the •business. The works are propelled by Mo of Burnham's Im proved Journal' Turbine Water Wheels, manu f acture d et yoric., Pennsylvania, and having a Salicient bead and fall, and an amp ', s upply of water at all seasons of the year, it is well calcula ted for a merchant mill. It is situated about two and a hall miles from the P. B. C. R. R., in a good grain growing neigh borhood, making it a very desirable loca tion. Mr. Magraw has expended nearly forty thousand dollars in the erection of his mill, and we trust he may secure such a custom for it as his enterprise so richly merits.—arford Free Frees. 7 81 1 21 g , 12829 3 4 110 17 1 * 24. 25 'l7 231 ••• 117 111 1 L 1 S 1 12 -i X2B 1 2, 8 9, 15 16, IV 2 129 30 16 Z 3, 0_,6 TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACC tleman who arrived in this city, yOsterday, informs us of a most terrible railroad accident, which occurred on the Indiana branch of the Pennsylvania Central yes terday afternoon. While the passenger train was running up a stiff grade, two cars, which contained coal oil, became de tached from a freight train in front, and starting backward, duwu the grade, came violently into collision with the engine of the passenger train. The two oil cars Were wrecked at once, and the oil caught fire front the locomotive. The engineer of the passenger train was jammed in between the oil cars and the locomotive; and was liter ally burned up iu the fierce flames. An other man, the assistant engineer, or one of the firemen, was so badly burned that he has since died, and a third man, who was on the engine, was also seriously burned. The passenger cars were detached, and none of the passengers were injured. Tuff FRIENDSHIP STEAM FIRE ENGINE No. 2.—The Steam Fire Engine purchased by the Friendship Fire Company arrived yesterday. It is a third 9111148 engine in size and from its appearance first class in quality. It was built by William Jeffers at Pawtucket, Rhode Island, and is a most elegantly finished structure.

The greeting of "A Happy New Year to You" was heard everywhere.

M., it was a perfect hurricanet The floo r s tide; s(lt iin about this time, and we were then hr the vicinity of Horton'siPaint The vessel then "broached to," and, getting into the trough of the sea, became utterly unmanageable. Every attempt possible was made to keep the vessel's head to the wind, but without avail, and in about twentfr minutes after wards the smokestacks were carried over baardi SOlely by the force of the wind. The sea was lashed into a perfect fury, and the "caps" visible on the waves of a rough sea were undiscernable, , the bay being an ex panse of seething, hissing waters, codered with foam, and boiling like a cauldron. Ureat difficulty was now experienced in keeping the engines in motion, owing to the heavy rolling of the steamer, and all on board became more or less impressed with the idea that the vessel would go doWn. Large numbers of the passengers huddled together in the cabins and staterooms, expecting momentarily that the ship would go to pieces. By almost superhuman efforts the engines were kept working, and the ves sel was immediately headed for the shore of Long Island. The gale continued to blow with unabated fury, and a heavy snow storm prevailed during the whole of the time the vessel was so fearfully exposed. We were now nearing the beach, and as soon as day light appeared we let go the port anchor within about three hundred yards of the Long Island shore. We then gave the ves sel a little sheer on the starboard side, and she went ashore within two hundred yards of the beach, striking on an even keel. Boats were immediately lowered, and some of the women and children were put in them, the order being given and strictly en forced that the women and children should all leave the ship .first. The sea now be gan to break clean over the vessel, and her position became critical in the extreme, from the fact of her being held at anchor and offering such great resist ance to the force of the waves. The power of the gale was so great that it blew in the windows, and the steamer began to show signs Of going to pieces, when it was concluded to let go the anchors and drift on to the shore. The scene at this time became harrowing. All expected to lose their lives, and groups of frightened women and children, with numbers of their male pas sengers also, crowded into the cabin and state rooms, clamoring for protection and praying in loud and earnest tones, while many cried aloud and bitterly. The cabin passengers as a body, including the ladies, behaved nobly; but many of the deck pas sengers displayed great fear, and bqcanie so uncontrollable as to seriously interfere with those who were in less dread and in a con- ENT.-A. gen dition to afibrd assistance. The work of landing passengers had now fairly corn meliced, and at about half-past six A. M., all hands, it is believed, were satbly landed. The residents of Pequonnick, a little village about half a mile from the. scene of the disaster, aflbrded valuable as sistance to the sufferers, and prompt ly conveyed such of the baggage as was saved and some of the weaker of the passengers to safe and comfortable quarters. She was commanded by Captain Curtis, to whom, as well as to the remaining officers and the crew, the highest commendations are due for the cool heroism and intrepidity displayed by them on this trying occasion. Every man of them stood nobly to the post of duty, and it is to their unflinching con duet and persistent efforts that the safety of so many valuable lives isin a very great measure attributable. At the time of our leaving the wreck she was fast going to pieces, and the sea was breaching clean over her, careening her on one side. The vessel will undoubtedly prove a total [loss, as will also the greater portion of her freight. The Commodore carried a crew of about forty men, and at the time of leaving it was re ported that two had been drowned, but I have every reason to doubt the authenticity of this statement. The rescued passengers took the cars of the Long Island Railroad, and arrived in this city at half-past two o'clock to-day (yesterday). The ill-fated Commodore, no later than Monday last, brought to New York City the rescued crew of the bark C. B. Hamil ton, which was lost on Point Judith, on the 24th inst.

The Fleetwing took course to the north and the Vesta to the south of that taken by the Henrietta. We kept the regular steamer track th whole distance. During the first seven days of the passage we had cold, rough weather, with alternate rain, hail and snow—squally, with the wind from the west." COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, Dee. 2ii.—The yachts Fleetwing and Vesta arrived here early this morning. The former had a rough passage, and six sailors were swept off the bowsprit while furling the jib in a gale. The Vesta reports nothing _of any moment. All on board both boats are well. The yachts arrived before Commodore McVickar expected them. The Earl of Wilton has sent a congratulatory letter to the yachtsmen on the successful issue of the venture. The news of the arrival of the yachts was sent at once to the Queen, by her special request. This morning the Royal Yacht Club fired a sarute of eleven guns in honor of the winner. - The Henrietta manned yards and dipped her colors, in true man-of-war style iu ac knowledgment of the compliment. A depu tation of citizens of Cowes have tendered the party a grand banquet, to come off at their convenience. Large crowds of curious spec tators are on shore, and others in boats, cheering the three yachts. Many visitors have come down from London to witness the scene. Great interest has been felt in the yacht race'in England, and it is being generally discussed among all classes. They are astonished at the quick passage mace, under such unfavorable weather. Numerous offers of hospitality are being received from various parties. The llenrietta made the entire passage on one tack, and without the slightest acci• dent. The greatest day's run was' 80 miles, and the east. 114, whieh was during a heavy storm, when she hove to for se\ era' hours. The owner of the Henrietta declares him self ready to accept a challenge from any yacht on this side of the Atlantic. The persons washed overboard from the Fleetwing were Sailing Captains - Nichols and Wood, and Seamen Nally and Nelson. The yachts and their proprietors and friends are meeting with marked attention at Cowes. At the time the men were lost from the Fleetwing it was blowing a gale, and it was impossible to save them. National Bank Currency The sixteen hundred and forty-seven National Banks now in active operation, had in circulation at the close of last week, $298,307,569, secured by United States bonds deposited to the amount of $632,467,700. The expense of printing these notes daring the last fiscal year was $664,484 16, and the paper used cost $25.754 W. Over $2,000,000 in mutilated and worn-out notes have been returned to the Treasury, where they are placed in an immense revolving iron cylin der, carefully locked, through which a heat ed stream of acids passes, so that the ink is completely removed, and a mass of pulp remains. This is bleached, and manufac tured into envelopes for the use of the Treasury Department. Large amounts of mutilated and worn-out fractional currency are thus decomposed, and reconstructed into envelopes. ST. PAUL, Minn. Dec. 28.—A terrible tragedy occurred at New Ulm on Christmas day. Two men, named Campbell and Lis comb, had come in frbm a trapping expe dition.

Rights of Railway Travelers A gentleman traveling in the West lately, put to the test one of the exercises of "dis cretionary power" which conductors in general are apt to carry to an extreme. He had purchased a first class ticket. There were but two cars in the train,—one for smoking and one for ladies. The gentleman in question, having no traveling compan ion of the tender sex, was directed by the brakeman to go into the smoking car. He remonstrated and demanded a first class seat for his first class ticket. The conductor, being appealed to, sustained the brakeman ; and the traveler refusing to give up his tick et till he had received the equivaint de manded, both officials combined to forcibly eject him from the train. The gentleman immediately made his way back to the of fice of the railroad company, and the man agers made the. ante - IWe honorable by pay ing him liberally for his lost time, dismissing the offending conductor, and promulgating to all its employees the sensible rule that first class tickets convey a right to first class seats. A correspondent of a New York journal calls public attention to the dangers of us ing gasoline as an illuminating fluid. He says this substance gets its name from its extreme volatility, and is produced in the distillation of petroleum, having, until re cently, however, been regarded as a waste product. It is one of the lightest and most volatile liquids known, its specific gravity being less than that of ether, and it is so volatile that an ounce or more left un covered in a wine glass will entirely dis appear in a few hours. It is highly in flammable, burning even on the surface of water, and as it is almost as uncon trollable and dangerous as gunpowder, the public are justly warned against using it for illuminating purposes.

A Brother shoots His Sister at a House ~..f.efiElf-Fasae, in Philadelphia. Yesterday afternoon, James Patterson was committed by Alderman Battler for the attempted 'murder of his sister. At mid night on Wednesday, the policeman at Pine and Jaulper streets heard the report of a pistol lieenterediel South Juniperstreet, and found a young girt on the fluor bleed ing, and ,her brotherstanding over her with ph,lige,pLstol, smoking frdm the recent dia l:thaw. The girl wearemoved toile Penn sylvania hospital, and the man arrested. He was lofted up in the station until the aftertiodn, and then he made the following e l226ll lliied at.lso2Jelferson street,. Several months ago his slater, a beautiful girl of twenty-two, entered a house of ill fame. The diagram that thus was entailed upon the . family ruined its peace and harmony. The . broken-hearted parents piteously sought their daughter's reclamation, but to all' entreaty she tttrned a deaf ear, and re fused/ to abandon her newly-chOsen life. Thahrother also vainly tried to recover his sister front her sorrow and shame. Fulling hi , all attempts, he determined to kill her, sootier' than consent to her continuance in her folly. He went to the house where, un der the name of. Laura tiortion, she plied the trade of a prostitute. The girl saw, but refused to leave with MM. HI, otters to place her in a comfortable lxiarding-houso and re move her ft urn all wants were deciined, and he was shown the door. Iteturolug, he renewed his propositions. The scene that then occurred touched the heart of the pro caress ILI whose house she lived, and the mistress added her entreaty to Mr. Patter son's. These appeals failed. Then the young man went to the house a third time and shot his sister. A load of buckshot was discharged into her face and neck, and, although not probably fatal, the .wound Is dangerous. After the act he regretted it, and expressed the hope that the girl would recover, but not until he could regain his liberty, as he still believed that he could reclaim hi sister. Alderman tleitler com mitted Patterson, awaiting the result of her injuries. She declines to prosecute. It is said the girl left her father's house because of a disagreement between her and her stepmother, and that she at first endeav ored to maintain herself iu honest employ ment. c fprtial Noticts. ggrPREPARED OIL OF PALM AND MACE, For Preserving, Restoriug,and Beautifying the Hoar And is the most delightful and wonderful article the world ever.produced.
