U, 187.- JOE WEBBER. CLOT Large Time at Lebanon. The citizens ot Lebanon had a grand time Christmas eve. Two large trees were erected in the auditorium of the Sa tiam Academy, on tlie branches of which were lmng one thousand pres ents, valued at $1,200. Through the exertions of ilrs. W. S. Elkins and Mrs. J. Jlouck. a sum of money was raised, with which an elegant watch was purchased and hung on one of the trees, as a present to Kev. C. A. Wortltyl pastor ot the C. P. Church of Lebanon. A good choir was In at tendance, and, aided by the Lebanon Brass Band, which also kindly volun teered its services, furnished the best of music. The room was crowded to iwutmost'eapacity, and the audience were treated to declamations, re cita tions, etc., by ladles and gentleman of tbe village. C. B. Montague, Esq.. wag especially happy in his recitation, and brought down the house in a whirlpool of applause. Among the presents on the Christmas trees, was a splendid silver horn, presented by the Lebanon Brass Band to Prot. A. Com p ton, as a testimonial of the high regard and esteem in which he is held by the members of the Band, of which he is leader. A gorgeous tin horn, capable of holding "the full of a halt bushel," was placed upon one of the trees, labeled to J. L. Cowen, leader of the "Hoodlum Band," and was a present to be proud of in after years. Tiie entertainment and distribution at gifts was not concluded till near mid night, and was wound np by a grand "shake np." by the "Hoodlum Band," composed of J. L. Cowen. Esq., leader, Dr. Ballard, J. TV. Bell, J. TV. Giimore, and others. The per formance given by this band of artists was unique and unapproachable, eclipsing anything ever before offered in Lebanon, and was greeted by a perfect hurricane of cheers and ap plause. It was a memorable night iu the history of Lebanon, and will not be forgotten for many long years to come ; but the incidents of that night will be reitearsed around the fireside with pleasure, and the festive actors kindly spoken of long after they have passed into the Better Land. ' Vick's Floral Gcide .For Janu ary, 1875, is a magnillcent number, and as a specimen of typography can hardly be excelled. It i iued quar terly, . by James Vick. Esq., of -Ro-iliestw. V. V.. at tlie low rrlr eif 25c per annum. The number before us contains over 100 pages, 500 en gravings, and descriptions of more than 500 of our best flowers and vege tables, with directions for culture. Sc. -tlie most useful and elegant work ot the kind in the world. Mr. Vick authorizes the officers of every ngri inltural society in the United States and the Provinces ot Canada, to offer from him the following premiums : For the best collection of cut llowers. f 20 ; second best, $ 10 ; third best, 5 ; F fourth best, a floral chromo. He also proposes to receive and forward sub scriptions in aid ol the starving people of Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota and Iowa, and to tidd, out of his own ex chequer, $500 to the donations; and with returning' spring, when the suf ferers by famine in those States will need seeds and grain, to give $500 more in such seeds and grain as may be most needed by them. This is liberal, and shows Vick to be the possessor of a warm heart that feels for tbe woes of his fellow men. Albany S. S. Union. The Albany Sunday School Union will hold its next regular monthly meeting in the Baptist Church of this city, on next Monday evening, January 4th, 1875, commencing at 7 o'cock. This being the time usually set apart by the Christian world as a week ol prayer, the Committee on this occasion re solved unanimously to hold a union prayer-meeting. Subject chosen for meditation and prayer: "The conver sion of the young." Services will be opened by Dr. K. C. Hill, after which volunteer remarks and prayers will be asked for. Good .music may be ex pected during the services. All are cordially invited to attend. Hurt. A little six-year old daughter of Mrs TVorth, who resides a sliort distance from Halsey, on Sat urday last was struck by the hind foot oa horse, in the forehead, and severe ly injured. It seems the horse was running, and the little girl being in tbe way, the animal attempted to jump over her. but struck her in pass ing with one of his hind feet. It was at first feared Uiat tbe hurt .would prove fatal to the little girl, but after careful examination and due attention to the wound, on Tuesday she was pronounced out of danger. The Masonic Installation Last Saturday night, closed with a collation and dance, which was participated in by a large number of the fraternity andtiieir friends. Upon the invita tion of Mr. Biles, Agent O. S. S. Co., a number ot those 'present went on board the steamer. E. iV. Cooke, the next morning, and excurshed to Cor vallis, returning in the evening of the same day. The excursion was thor oughly enjoyed by the participants. A Teacher in Trouble On Mon day last, as related to us. at Rock Hill School-noiise. orl the road between Lebanon and Brownsville, occurred a difficulty between the teacher, Don Byland, and one of his pupils, aged about eighteen, named Fj-ank Richard son, in which the pupil seems to have got the worst of It. The pupil was unruly, and after the teacher had ex hausted his patience In attempting to make the pupil comply with the rnles of the school in vain, he ordered him to leave the school-room. This tiie refractory young man flatly refused to do. but upon the teacher's approach, seized a stick and menaced the teacher therewith. There and then ensued a tussle, In which the teacher succeeded In getting possession of the stick, and, knocking the obstreperous youth down with it,' drew him out of the house Into the wood-shed and left him. Shortly after, the young man came to tlte school-house door and begged to come in, saying he was sick. The teacher told him to come in ; and after sitting by the stove for awhile, and getting worse, l.e was conveyed to his home, and at last accounts he was thought to be dangerously sick. Byland was ar rested and bound over in $500 to an swer. We give the facts as they were related to us, without any color ing whatever, as we do not wish to prejudice the matter either way. "The Massacre of Glencoe." Calvin B. McDonald, Esq., editor of the Salem Statesman, has been secured by the LndieV Benevolent Society of this city, to deliver his famous lecture, entitled as above. He has recently delivered this lecture to large and ap preciative audiences in Salem and Portland, snti press and people nnite in pronouncing it a masterpiece of. eloquence. The Society is fortunate indeed in having secured this talented gentleman. The lecture will be de livered at the Court House, on New Years' evening. The admission fee will be 50c. The county autliorities have generously consented to the nse of the Court House for the purpose, as the proceeds of the lecture are to be given to the Ladies' Benevolent So ciety, and will be expended in alleviat ing distress. As no one will care to miss hearing this master production of a literary genius, the Court Honse will doubtless be crowded with citizens, and a large sum will thus be seenred for tlie poor and needy. Went Through a Glass Door. The other morning as TV. II. Dodd was .proceeaiiig to ms piace or ocm ness. he observed a shephered dog ly ing beside the walk, poor and thin, and shivering with cold. This seemed to be a real case of distress, and ap pealed at once to the sympathies of Dodd, who spoke kindly to him. got a piece of meat from the butchers's, called him into the Express office, and was proceeding to make him com fortable near tlie stove on some sacks, when the canine suddenly became "scart," and made a bolt for the front doors. Tlie doors were closed, but tliat doggon dog never stopped to cal culate the chances but went through one of those three foot panes of glass in the door like a shot. And now Dodd is two or three dollars worse off for his sympathy for a forlorn-looking dog. Three Linkers. On Wednesday evening, an election for officers of Albany Lodge No. 4, I.O.O.F., to serve the ensuing term, was held, with the following result: Past Grand, Walter Ketchum. N. G.; P. II. Ray mand, V.

On mo tion, it was ordered that the editor of the Register be requested to give no tice that all Odd Fellows in good standing, with their families, are in vited to attend the installation cere monies, and no others. For the Interest of all Parties; There can now be no doubt of the wisdom of the course pursued by Gov ernor Bramlette, with reference to the last Grand Gift Concert of the Ken tucky Library. Tbe short postpone ment to February 27th will insure the sale of every ticket, which will be more satisfactory to every ticket- holder, and more for the Interest of the Library, and that there may be no doubt of its coming off this time, the Governor proposes to return every ticket-holder's money in case of fail ure. i Masonic The following named gentlemen were elected and installed as officers of Bayley Chapter No. 8, of this city, last week: Geo.

'After the dis tribution came music and tun, the large number present enjoying a very pleasant time. The Sociable Ani Fair. At the Opera House, on last Friday evening, was largely attended and hugely en joyed. The Committees to whom were entrusted the success of the en terprise, acquitted themselves with credit, and deserve praise for" their energy and faithfulness in the prem ises.

It was an agreeable, social gathering, thoroughly enjoyed by all present.

Exhibition. 'lite Sunday school exhibition at the M. E. Church Wednesday evening was well attended, and gave general satisfaction, we are informed.
