Yesterday was celebrated with great pomp and general rejoicing the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the city of New Haven. The governor, members of the State Legislature, and other civic dignitaries thronged the streets during the day. Nearly every male inhabitant who has the use of his legs took part in the procession so that the line was hours in passing. Laborers of all descriptions were given a holiday, and in honor of the occasion all Yale men were released from their duties. The old citizens were in great requisition to recount the memories of their earlier days, and the local historians put the results of their researches into the penny histories which flooded the streets. The celebration was entirely successful, and the brilliant gala day will always be remembered by those who witnessed it.
