Happy Xi:r Year ! Tin; yenr ISGS
has drawn to a clcrc, and ISjD is now
written on tho "guidebonrds" of time.
The year 1S3S lia-7 passed into history,
and although not so full of startling events
as some of its predecessors, it will occupy
a prominent "head line" in the history
of the past. During its continuance
mother earth has been convulsed by
earthquakes that have laid waste fair
cities aud countries, and taken the lives
of thousands upon thousands of peoples.
Terrific hurricanes have visited portions
of our fair earth, carrying death and des
olation before them. Lurid fires have
swept over the land, consuming and de
stroying everything possessing life or
motion that wasmet in its firey path. It
has witnessed the overthrow of one of
the crowned heads of Europe, witli
BcaVcely a drop of bloodshed and confu
sion a thing unknown and uuchroni
cled in the history cf the past. It has
witnessed the advancement of science
and the arts. On this continent it has
witnessed the triumph of truth over error,
of justice over wrong cluing. The tri
umph of the great Union Republican
party in the late Presidential election,
may be considered the happiest event
productive of the greatest amount of
good the saving clause in the winding
up of the programme for 18G8. By the
success of the white man's party, peace
has been announced. Already we see
its revivifying influence in the appre
ciation of our national currency in the
feeling of security everywhere in the
increased respect for the Old Flag, and
for American institutions. Grant inaug
urated, peace and security will soon be
secured in every portion of the Union;
and our country, not ouly in n&mofbutiu
reality, free, we shall enjoy such a season
of genuine prosperity and happiuess as
was never given to any people since the
deluge. In the hope that our prediction
may be veriSel to the letter, we write a
Happy New Year to all.
TnE Festival. The Festival given
by the ladies of the U. P. phurcli on
Christmas Uve was a brilliant sueces-.
The hall was crowded with "folks," and
as it was the first occasion of the kind
for a long period, every one enjoyed it.
About 7.00 room was made for the en
trance of the weddidg party Mr. John
Foster and Miss M. O. McMeekin, groom
and bride, and Mr. Samuel Young and
Miss Minerva McMeekin, groomsman
and bridcsHfifidT' The ceremony was per
formed infpvery impressive manner, by
Rev. S. G& Irvine-. Soou after this in
teresting ceremony was performed, sup
. per was announced. Two long tables
were loaded with all kinds of pastry and
the' substantial of life, to which the
hungry multitude did ample justice.
The ladies who got up and managed the
Festival throughout, worked hard for a
successful consummation, and they did
achieve a full and complete success. The
gross receipts were nearly double those of
any Fair or Festival ever held inthe city,
being $243 25. The success of this
Festival shows what the ladies of Albany
can do when the men fail. The time was
Anliveoed and made pleasant by the pres
ence of the Albany Brass Band, who ex
oiutcd favorite pcices of music in their
bast style. The band have the unani
mous thanks of all present for their con
tribution to the enjoyment on the occa
sion. We hope the ladies will find it
necessary to give another Festival soon
no matter for what or whom, we arc
unanimously in favor of another.
Strange Disappearance.-A young
man reporting himself from Portland,
came to Harrisburg in this county on the
6th of last month, and tarried a day, or
twa, and then departed. The secend
ti ue he came and stopped as before at
the hotel in Harrisburg until the 22d
ult., when he suddenly disappeared, leav
ing no clue aa to his future travels. He
.gave no name, or if he did it has been
forgotten. What is singular about the
whole affair is, in his haste to depart he
left a horse a small, dun colored animal
and saddle. ' He said, previous to his
d'xappearance, that ho was in search ofj
work, and that he had been' employed,
while in Portland, at a livery stable. It
is thought by our informant, that the
owner of the horse may reside In Port
land, and if so, this will inform him of
too whereabouts of the animal.
. Christmas Tree. We had the pleas
ure of witnessing the distribution of pres
ents from a Christmas tree, at the residence
of Rev. Dr. Hill, in this city, on last
Christmas evening, tuitc alargc treo was
placed near the centre of the parlor, the
branches bending under the weight of
presents from the younger member of the
family to the elder, and vice versa. It
was an occasion of much enjoyment to all
concerned, and to no one, probably, more
than the writer of this, who unexpectedly
beca-.nc the possessor of a fciuoking cap,
taken from the tree. May all who crt-
! joyed that pleasant occasion be spared
to witness the recurrence of many similar
family gatherings under the old home
stead roof. i
Small Pox. -This loathsome disease
is upon every siue,ond it now looks as
though we may not escape its presence
here in our city. I In case it docs visit
us, have our city authorities made any
preparation for its prcper reception for
the reception and caro of persons who
may, by any chance, be attacked by this
feaiful malady?) "A stitch in time,"
etc., is applicable in this case. "An
ouuee of preventive is worth a pound of
cure," is another maxim to be heeded in
this case. A pest-house, provided for
the especial use of small pox patients,
ready for use at a moment's notice, might
save life, the spread of the disease, and
would lessen the fear that has already got
hold of some of our citizens with regard
to it. It would also show a proper regard
on the part of our City Fathers for the
interests and welfare of our people.
Baptist Sociable. On Monday
night the members and friends ot the
Baptist Church in this city held a socia
ble at the residence of the pastor, Rev.
Dr.. Hill. A good old fashioned social
time was enjoyed .by the large number in
attendance. During the evening, Dr.
Hill was agreeably surprised by the pre
sentation by friends of several valuable
works, and a large aud splendidly framed
picture entitled the '"Star of Bethlehem."
The Doctor made a neat and appropriate
little "speech, and at his request the lij'iun
entitled Bethlehem, wasrendered in a
superior manner by ladies and gentlemen
present. We listened to some excellent
instrumental and vocal music during the
evening. The next Sociable will be at
Dr. Stceley's.
The Western Hotel at Portland having
lately changed hands, the new proprietors,
Dorcy & Holmes, determined not to be
outdone in an honest endeavor to satisfy
a liberal public, have made find improve
ments and many changes, knowing that
their numerous winter patrons appreciate
warm beds, hot cakes, fre'sli eggs, and a
free coach. ;
We intended to give somo interesting
statistics in this number of the Register,
of general local interest, bat we found it
impossible to get at the information sought
in the short time we could SDare from
other duties; and are therefore compelled
j, . . . .... .
The Physio-Med fail Journal for Octo
ber and December, has been received.
This journal is published bi-monthly, at
Sa'em, Oregon, by J. C. Shelton, M. D.,
at the extremely low price of SJ per an
num. It is very valuable to all persons
who are seeking to know the.cause3, pre
vention and cure of diseases of the human
body. i I
. .
, New Columbian.- The New Colum
bian is one of the largest and most con
venient hotels in Portland. The tables
are spread with the best of "grub," and
you will receive the kindest care at the
hands of the jolly landlord, VA. Carney,
if you '-hang up" there." He hangs out
his "sign" in tho Register, to which we
eall attention.
Christmas Ball. The ball at Par
rish Hall Christmas night was a com
plete and "unmitigated" success, in point
of numbers in attendance, music, etc.
The supper, gotten up by Messrs.
Strong & Smear, was excellent, but a
better room might have been obtained to
set the table in. We should think there
were forty or fifty couples in attendance,
and everybody, we are informed, enjoyed
themselves tip-top. We understand it
was the largest dancing party ever given
in this city,
Christmas has come and gone, and the
new year has opened one page in the
great Day Book of Accounts with man
kind, yet Perry Spinks & Co. have a few
more of the best varieties of cooking and
other stoves, tinware, etc., to which they
invito the attention of this community.
The ever attentive and accommodation
Andy Carotbers will take pleasure in ac
commodating you with goods at the low
est passible rates. Call.

f Large Shipment. The largest ship
ment of flour ever made in one lot from
jhis point, was made on Wednesday, on
the steamer Fannie Patten, by J. H. Foster
& Co.", of the Magnolia Mills. It con
sisted of four thousand four hundred
sacks of flour eleven hundred barrels.
These mills are running night and day,
turning out an immense quantity of su
perior flour. "

Not a Word. Two of our esteemed
friends brought to the Register office a
sack of apples each, one da' last week,
with a request to keep mum and we in
tend to, but the apples won't. Many
thanks for the gift.
