CHRlS'TMAS.—"Christmas comes but once a year," according to the ancient song and constant experience; and, atmospherically considered; knee a year is quite often enough, if Christmas were always to come under such meteorological conditions as those which accompanied the festival yes terday.. As the great holiday fell upon Monday the present year, Saturday night was by common consent, observed as Christmas eve. The weather was fate, and the streets were alive with people. Chestnut street and the business portion of Eighth street were not only crowded, but they were jammed. Horns, both spirituous and metallic, were the order of the night; and young men under the in fluence of the one operated upon the other with a vigor that was ear-splitting and mind-distracting. Fantastical dresses and . rcriming generally were also in vogue, and there was much pushing, crowding and raystering in a good natured way. But those who went where the pushing and roys tering were in progress, had a right to ex pect what they encountered, and conse quentlyno right to complain. Sunday came in dismally snowy,. rainy and sleety; the sidewalks were glazed with ice, pedestrian ism was almost entirely out of the question, and firesides were clung to faithfully in all homes. Chilstmas was not an inviting day out of doors, and it was only the most determined holiday-seers who braved the ice and fog to promenade the streets. There were the usual family gatherings that are the greatest charm of the day; there was the accustomed sacrifice of turkey and mince pie, and therA was the usual overflowing of places of amusement in the evening. In-dpors thb holiday was a distinguished success; out-of doors it was a dead failure. At the Noithern Home for Friend. less Children, notwithstanding the in clemency of the weather, a large number of persons were present at the Festival to the children of that institution of the Sailors, and Soldiers' Orphans' Home, on Christmas day. At the hour appointed, the doors of the school room were thrown open to visi tors. The children, numbering some three hundred, presented a fine appearance. They were all neatly and comfortably clad; the cleanliness which characterized their clothing bearing strong testimony in favor of the good management of the matron; Mrs. Hopkins. The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. C. Collins, which was followed by brief but appropriate addresses by Messrs. Pilley, Wurtz, R. S. Walton, T. Perrins, ERev. E. W. Hinter, Prof. Stover, A. M. pangler and Mr. Claghorn, the Trea surer of the Board of Managers. The sing ing of the children was very fine. The re ,citations were also excellent, and the written poetical address delivered by a little fellow 3 feet high, elicited applause. As the Christmas dinner was to be partaken of immediately after the exercises, the distribution of gifts was postponed until afternoon. The doors of the large parlor in which the Christmas garden was prepared, were then thrown open and visitors afforded an opportunity of viewing this beautiful scene. It may be fairly questioned whether anything of the kind equal to it in point of beauty, faithfulness and minuteness of detail has ever been presented in this city. The rock work is as perfect a production as could be made, while the rural scene with its mill, meadows hay, harvest fields, mowing machine, carts and stacks; the hand some farm house with its pleasant surround ings of arbors, fountains, fish pond and the comfortable barn with its commodious barn-yard, superb cattle, corn-crib, pig- , pen, wagon-shed, tir.c.; the beautiful green pasture field filled with grazing stock; the railroad in full operation, and the quiet little village, with its neat church and shaded walks, all form a combination of pleasant sights minature rarely seen. We advise all who havenotseen it and especially those who 'wish to gratify their children, to pay the house a visit, not forgetting that contributions to the funds of the house are greatly needed at this time. An entertain ment which will consist of singing by the children, and a short address by a popular speaker, will be given on to-morrow (Wed nesday) afternoon, at 3 o'clock ; also, on Friday afternoon and on New Year's after noon, at the same hour, the proceeds of which will be applied to he furnishing of the School Room. It is hoped there will be a large attendance. A small charge will be made for admission. After partaking of a bountiful dinner the ,children were again assembled in the School Room. They sang several Christmas songs in fine style, and then • received a portion of their Christmas gifts. Each little girl re ceived a doll and a Testament, and each boy a handsome scarf and a book. It is doubtful whether a happier crowd could have been found in the city on Christmas day. The little girls were in ecstasies with the dolls, while the boys, fastening their gay colored scarfs around their waists and over their shoulders, formed into a large company in the play-room, and with some half a dozen of the largest boys, with tin horns, marched at the head of the procession and made the music. It was a pleasant sight, and the whole of the arrangements a complete suc cess. • The booth; shoes and stockings which had been donated, were not distributed, as time would not permit, they having been re ceived at it late hour on Saturday evening. At the close of the morning's exercises, Mr. Claghorn, on the part of the managers of the Home, tendered to Mr. A. M. Spang ler, under whose auspices the whole of the arrangements were made and the exercises conducted, the thanks of the officers of the institution, which was heartily endorsed by the audience, and responded to by the children with three hearty Qheeni for fne one who had labored so faithfully to give them a pleasant Christmas. rn 0116 - 65 r two places in the city bread was distributed to the poor, and many hearts were gladdened by their being enabled to enjoy a good substantial meal. The police of the Fifteenth District fared pretty well. The officers of the Second National Bank, located at Frank ford, sent to the Station House a couple of large pound cakes, accompanied by sundry bottles of wine and boxes of cigars. The places of amusement reaped a 'rich harvest notwithstanding the disagreeable weather. The performances in the afternoon were all well attended, while last evening the houses were perfectly jammed, even standing room being scarce. Chestnut street did not present its usually gay appearance yesterday afternoon. The crowds on its sidewalks were quite large, but there was almost a total absence of the ladies, whose presence on holidays always adds sogmuch to the brilliancy of the scene. The disagreeable weather was very favora ble to the tavern-keepers. Their receipts yesterday were large, and a great many elevated individuals were to be seen upon thie various streets. The police returns this morning show that the station-houses were pretty full last _night. No rows occurred, however, and the day.. passed off more quietly than usual: „ • 1 ATTEMPTED CHILD IcrIIRDER,—A German woman, named Catharine Donner, residing at-Wood and Levering streets, Manayunk, attempted to murder a little . boy, 12 years of age,, her step-son, on Sunday morning last. Mrs. Donner has been subject to fits of insanity. Some six years ago she was sent to the Blockley Hospital for that reason, but recovered sufficiently to allow her to leave that institution. On Sunday morning while her family, consisting of her step-son 11 and younger dren=a boy and girl—were in one of the ms, she seized an axe and suddenly a ed the first named. She struck him five limes. Two 'of the outs were upon the head and were serious. She then attempted to ' force a large door key dont hip throat, tioup9 pt . the` neighbora rak, DAILY EVENING 13151,LE rushed into the house at this time and pre vented any further miscliief. The injured boy, had his wounds drepsed by Dr. Todd. The woman and her ttwwpp children were taken to the ,police statidn. Subsequently the whole family was sent * to the Almshouse. The husband of Donner is dead, hav ing been killed while in , the army. PKITADELI'HIA. CATTLE MARKET, Dec. 26.

ASSAITLTING POLICEMEN.—Jacob Kline, John M. Kline and Elizabeth Lutz were before Alderman Shoemoker this morning, upon the charge of assault and battery. It seems that some of the Seventeenth Ward police went to arrest the defendants on a warrant charging them with rescuing s prisoner. The arrest was affected but the defendants in turn were rescued. Another attempt was made when the officers were locked in the house and were attacked with billies and pokers. They finally succeeded in securing their prisoners however, The accused were held in $1,500 bail to answer. PICKING POCKETS. Philip Clark has been committed by Alderman Hutchinson to answer the charge of picking pockets. It is alleged that he was caught with his hand in the pocket of a man who was sleeping in a tavern at Fifteenth and Brown streets. Frank Clark, hailing from Harrisburg, was arrested yesterday at the Opera House in Eleventh street upon the charge of having picked the pocket of a man named Robin son of $5O. He was committed by Alder man Godbou. MAN CONV-HIDED BY A WOMAN.—A man named Archibald Henskillwood, was cow hided, last evening, at Eleventh and Wash ington streets, by a woman, the wife of the proprietor of a public house, in that vicinity. It is alleged that he has been annoying the woman for some time past, and again went to the house last evening. She was so incensed at his conduct that she followed him up the street and applied a cow-hide vigorously to his back. The affair caused no little excitement in the vicinity. A DENsE Foo.—The city has been enve loped in a fog all day. Before nine o'clock the fog was so dense that objects could not be distinguished beyond a few feet. The State House steeple was totally invisible from the sidewalk. The ferry boats and vessels on the Delaware had great difficulty in avoiding collisions. The atmosphere is raw and chilly, and a more damp and disagreeable day than the present one is rarely experienced in this latitude.

IJIêI9M filit vol CO A DISTURBANCE AMONG THE O ORED PEOPLE.—Yesterday morning, abo t nine o'clock, several musket shots we fired from the second story of a house on Lom bard street, below Seventh. Lieutenant Goldey and some of the Fifth Ward police entered the premises for the purpose of stopping the firing. Inside the house seve ral colored men were found, and they resisted the officers, declaring that they had no right to go there. This caused some trouble. A crowd began to gather, and soon there were several hundred colored gerple assembled in the neighborhood. There wrs considerable fighting, and at one time quite a disturliance was threatened, but the presence of the police prevented any serious outbreak. Several muskets were fired off in the street, and two or three men were arrested with guns loaded with ball cartridges in their possession, Some of Lieutenant Paullin's officers were also Upon' the ground, and a couple of the policemen were slightly injured. During the entire day there was considerable excitement, and more or less fighting in the neighborhood. There were plenty of scratched faces and bloody noses, but no nerson received any injuries of a severe character. Twelve of the Fil.h Ward police were kept on duty until two o'clock this morning, and some thirty or forty arrests were made. The prisoners were all committed, this morning, for breach of the peace. .
