New Year's Catrers.— The Halifax Herald says :—New Year’s calling was very generally abandoned Friday, owing to the heavy rain storm and the exceedingly dis- agreeable condition of the reads. But still a comparatively large number of promin- ent citizens turned out and paid their respects to His Grace Archbishop O’Brien, and Hon. M. H. Phelan, United States consul-general. Those who called on Arch- bishop O' Brien were elso introduced to His Lordship Bishop Rogers, of Chatham, who was the guest of His Grace yesterday. One notable feature of the Archbishop’s recep- tion was the total exclusion of liquors from the refreshment room, an innovation that was universally approved of by nine-tenths of those who noted the fact.
