Eighth of January.

--The anniversary of the battle of New Orleans passed by without special observance. It was the custom when all the soldier boys were at home to have some kind of a frolic, but the war has put an end to all festivities of that sort. Let us hope that another twelve-month will bring about a happy restoration of the fashions of ‘"auld lang syne."’
