A significant fact.

--In the city of Hartford, Conn., on the 22d inst., not a gun was fired, not a bell rung, nor a flag unfurled in honor of the anniversary of the birth-day of Washington. While other cities and towns throughout the country paid more or less respect to the occasion, that city made no token of regard for the great leader and hero of the Revolution. Hartford gave a majority for Lincoln last fall.
