AMONG the worthy holiday presents tions was an elegant gold badge, valued at $60, presented by the members of the police force to their Chief, Luther Gilmore.
A LITTLE round figure like this "0" is nothing, but it amounted to something when in Saturday's paper the printer left it out of the notice of the ^Etna Insurance Company, whose capital is $3,000,000 and not $300,000 as the types had it. The notice is reprinted correctly in another column this morning.
CARRIERS' ADDRESS.—To day, in ac cordance with long established custom Ihe carriers of the DAILY EXPRESS will present the readers with a handsomely printed sheet, containing a pleasing jingle of rhymes adapted to the times, in which some local hits are made in the carriers' peculiar style.
THE "Mail" states that a modified case of Bmall-pox has made its appearance at the corner of Water and Swan streets. The patient is a colored man who very recently came to the city on a visit. He is doing well and the Board of Health is taking the necessary steps to prevent the spreading of the disease.
NEW YEAR'S calls, with the compli* ments of the season, will be in order today, and the indications are that the custom will be more generally observed than ever before, for it is said that all the carriages at the stables in this city have been engaged for the purpose. Callers, in making the grand rounds, should prepare a set of nice little speeches—little "twoliners" as newspaper men style them— and then the thing will be easy, all will go lovely and the goose will be elevated at a respectable altitude. The same set of remarks will do for each "open house." Allusions to the weather will be admissit ble, and this is the best thing to "ring in' on- CbMrful topics should have the preference. The aporoach of the small pox is good. Philosophical and literary discussions should be sparingly indulged in. Say as little as possible, and say it alow, and you will make & little go a great ways.

A STRANGE MIDNIGHT YISIT. y'5%.. "Ring out the old. ring in the irtiwi
King happy bells across the snow The year is going, let him'go, Ring ont the false, ring in the trae."
Last night, just as we had written the last paragraph for this morning's paper had closed the labor of 1871, and mtt meditating on (he lost opportunities of the twelve-month gone, two strange visitors entered oar room. One wa*» beautiful young girl, the other an old man, his strongly built and once stately form, bowed and trembling with age. The dim eye seemed to bt fast glazing, and the uncertain hands wandered aimlessly across his brow, with a motion that seemed quite involuntary and pitifulWith merely a nod of recognition, he sank into a chair, and we paused to reflect on this, the last night-of the '-'Old Year,'' and listen to the words of the fast-dying man.
Raising his bowed head, after a few moments of silence, he called his only daughter to his side: "Bring me that bound volume of the DAILY EXPRESS, wherein has been kept a faithful record of my life." He turned over the leaves with a great deal of care. As he read, he noted the different items, and talked aloud: "While the past twelve-month has been one of great prosperity to the nation it has been especially so to my beautiful Prairie City. It has been singularly exempt from fire and pestilence. All who have been willing to work have had pleBty to do. Elegant business blocks have been erected, while, as if by magic, have been built, the abodes of wealth, and hundreds of homes for the mechanic the artisan and the laborer. The few manufactories are prospering—sorry to say there are not more of them. Another railroad has been completed, and two others are projected, and with its mineral, manufacturing and railroad facilities, together with the in domitable energies of its citizens, nothing can impede the onward progress of thiB City of the Prairie."
The old man was silent for a time, and then said "There are many improvements and enterprises, going to develop the resources of this region, that I must leave with 'Old Father Time' He can bring them to completion after I am gone. And here, at the head of these paper* are printed the names of my children. I have had twelve. The eldest was a sen, January, we called him. He was a real good boy—cold, frigid, in his disposition, but he had a good, warm heart, and was kind to his father. The Democrats used to hold their conventions when he was eight years old, because Andrew Jackson whip ped the British at New Orleans on that day, but I see that this will not be done in 1872.
Still turning the leaves, the old man resumed: "I'here comes the name poor little February. She was alwayB a delicate child, she died when very young her days were fewer than the rest of my children, there were not many remarkable things occurred during her life. Once Old Mr. Valentine gave her a,/great many pretty pictures, which the poor child played with till the last and then a very good gentleman, whom everybody called the Father of his Country, was born when she was born but when she was but twenty-two days old. "Our next was March, a big blustering brag of a fellow, always up to some mis chief forever biting people's ears and tweaking their noses, even going so far as to pinch their toes clear through their boots. He was the only ungovernable child I had. I really felt it was beyond my power to control him. Once when I was away from home he played some dreadful pranks. Whenever he found a project too much for him he called on his cousins, Jack Frost and Whistling Wind to help him. Those three boys were a team. Everybody seemed glad when he was gone but, troublesome as he was, I couldn't help loving him he was my child. That boy had talent I am sure of tha "My daughter* April was a very dear child, although very fickle. You never knew one minute whether she would be laughing or crying the next. "May was next younger, a merry, light-hearted girl. Every one loved her. She was sure to find the first flower. She always looked so. sweet with two or three little buds among her curls. "June, our next, was the most petted and most loved of all my children, unless it was her brother October. You never saw her without her lap full of roses, and she would sit for hours trailing vines all over her head and arms clear down to the ground she was very merry hearted and good natured. "July and August were very gay When summer came, nothing would do but they must pack up and go off to the springs, the seaside, and np on the lakes July was a kind warm hearted girl, and doted on thin grenadines and lawns. August thought there was nothing nicer than a trunk full of summer pants and linen coats. July had a great to-do when she was four days old, for that was the anniversary of the day on which the Declaration of Independence was signed. She always wanted me to say that she was more favored than January who was born on the anniversary of the day on which four millions of slaves were set free, but 1 hardly knew which was the occasion of tbe most rejoicing, so I always put her off some way, and now that the dear children are both gone, I don't like to decide against either one. My brother 1776 was alive when this country was declared independent, and 1863 when the slaves were emancipated. I have wit" nessed some great events, but none as great as these. "September and October were great children for gathering nuts almost any time you could see them starting out with their baskets on their arms, September with her buff dress stiff and rustling, and October with his suit of russet brown. They had a fancy for dressing this way, and nothing could persuade them to change their colors. "November was just thirty-one days younger than October. He was a chilly little fellow, so we had to put flannels on him and keep him near the fire. He was just fonr weeks and two days old when he died, and on that day the people assembled in their houses of worship and gave thanks to Almighty God for his great
Here the old man turned to his only
child. *'You, ipy dear December, most stay with me as long as Hive. Itis said that we will die together. How this will be I cannot tell. You have always bean., kind and failhfal toy bur father in his declining days. Your complexion is dark, but your eye is bright. You are my last jehild, and your father loves and -blessesjyou. It may be best that you should know something of my past history. I am the last son of Father Time. He has had 1871 children since the birth of the Messiah. Some of them ypo may have heard of. There is something singular about all the family no two of the sons have been alive at the same time it seems to be a kind of fatality, for all of my children have died the same way— the one dying at the. birth of the other.
My father, assisted by some learned men} decided that his childrens' children should all be named alike, and in the same order that is the reason that there have been juat as many Januarys as nave oeen Junes. "On reflection, I see that during my life I have been withal pretty generous. I have dispensed my blessings as freely as I felt I ought. I have given beautiful days to farmers, (I don't mean that I am the author of these, but they are given to me to distribute) and moonlight nights for lovers calm, warm mornings in the summer time, and, in turn, cool bracing air to quicken the pulse and arouse the latent energies. Bnt of all the gifts that I have bestowed, I prize my fifty-two Sundays the most and, precious as they are, they have been the most despised and abused. At the chiming of the bello when every heart should give attendance to the voice of God, many have strayed off into haunts of vice and wilfully broken the holy day. Oh! those Sabbath days! those Sabbath days!" The old man groaned and shook his head tears dimmed his eyes—one bright drop strayed down the furrows of his cheek, and, falling on his white beard, glistened like crystal on snow. December mourned with her father, and they fell into each other's arms weeping. Their time is near at hand—one short half hour and 1871 will be in eternity. Hush! the Old Year's dying now. Tread softly lest you disturb the awful calm. Let the whole world stand still. Do you owe this old man? Have you neglected a duty that should have been performed before this hoiir? Old Year don't go to-night stay yet a little longer. We want to re deem ourselves. You've been better to us than we have been to you. Oh! where are the promises we made when you were born? Broken 1 Forgotten! Useless now his protestations he will soon be past recall. Look! he raises his head to bless and forgive. Farewell, he is gone. 1871 lies in his grave. The New
Year reigns another roll of vows has been recorded another list of pledges made. Hail! happy New Year! May all hearts be as merry as to day, and every vow be as faithful as it is now sin* cere.
