With all due reverence for the cause

in this county, that if they expect to
effect anything, they will have to show
a more liberal policy than they did in

more substantial to run between thel

walked two miles for the purpose of
selling the superintendent of this in
stitution a piano. When that officer
opened the subject to him and offered
to pay double price for the instrument
if he would guarantee that a deaf-mute
could learn to play a tune on it in for
ty years, he was the most squelched
looking agent that ever trod the road."

With all members of the old and new

President Cruson rend his final report
as follows, w hich shows the city to be
in good condition financially:
To the Honorable, the City Council of
the city of Lebanon:
Gentlemen In accordance with the
law, I am, ns president of your honer
able body, required to make an annual
reiiort ot the nnaiictal, sanitary and
other condition of your municipal gov
ernment, ana to nuiKe such recommen
dations regarding improvements as
seem most expedient.
The report of your treasun-r shows
the financial condition of the city to
bens follows:
Amount received In prncrnl ftm1 ...., 8 7t"!.7"
Amount jmWI out of pctieral ftiml ATT.So
Amount received in stiwt ftmn. ........ :tr9.4o
Amount iil out of street fund .1t!M0
Total amount received from nil sources... l.l:.ir
Toiul amount puid out for all purposes.... W
showing a nett balance in treasury
of $102,75, a result that is very satisfac
tory, especially to the incoming coun
cil. Your streets, crosswalks niM side
walks, are in good condition for the
time of year, and no recommendations
are needed except it tie the cleaning
oft" of crosswalks in front of private
barns and at the openings of alleys,
where the walks of both conic together.
I would most earnestly recommend,
as soon as the weather and roads will
permit, that the city contribute enough
money to put in good repair, u certain
piece of road outside and contiguous
to the city limits on the south.
I would also recommend, when the
time colnes for working the streets,
that Maple street lie graveled between
Main and Second streets, it having be
come one of the business streets of our
city.
The health of the city in the past
year has I ." remarkably good, and
there arc no recommendations needed
except that the st recti and alleys be
Kept clean uuring the coming spring
and summer months.
In retrard to the Fire IX-pnrtment,
we find from examination of thtf secre
tary's looks, that there are forty mem
bers in good standing with over one
hundred dollars in the treasury of the
company.
We find also from the foreman s re-
Cort that the engine, hose, ladders,
uckets and other apparatus, is in
gixxl condition.
I he roof or the city hall has com
menced lrakinsr in several tilaees and
should be roofed anew the coming
summer. The house is also in need of
paint, and I would recommend that
the city hall be leveled, roofed and
painted", and also that the lnll tour le
enclosed and painted, there !eing
funds enough on hand to do the work,
mentioned, and it would not only be a
sulstanti:il and valuable improvement
to the city property, but a very great
improvement to the general appear-1
ance ot tne city.
Having no further recommendations
to make, I wUh to tender my most
sincere thanks to the outgoing council
for the uniform courtesy, and kind
manner in which they "have treated
me, and my congratulations and well
wishes to the incoming council.
Very Respectfully Submit ted
President Council.
At the conclusion of Mr. Cruson's !
report, the retiring council adjourned j
xinc die. and the council consisting of '
the following gentlemen were sworn
in: i
Frc-side-nt J. A. Board.
Councilmen C. C. Hackleman, J.
V. Keebk-r, C. H. Harmon, G. T. Cot
ton. Recorder Dr. J. H. P. Hope.
Treasurer M. E. He-am
As is customary on such occasions, 1
President Iteard submitted the follow- j
ing line of policy, which if earrie-d out j
during the year, will certeinly be very
beneficial to the city and reflect great j
credit upon its officers: j
To the Honorable Common Council of
the City of Lebanon :
Grnttemcn-On this occasion the;
t ommenceme-nt of our olncial associa-!
lion mm in accorwaiii-v witu lormer t
customs and existintr laws, it is the du- j
t v of the pre?
sident ofthe council-eht-t !
on assuming me uuiies oi ma omce, to ,
S . , , r - ... . 1
iects relatin'to the eeueral welfare of i
the city. 1 shall not detain you v, ith
a lengthy communication and I hoje,
gentlemen, tliat you will not think
me as timing too much by the re-commendations
which follow, coining as
they elo, from one who is no better in-forme-d
on matters pertaining to the
general welfare of the city than 3-ou
are yourselves.
We find the financial condition of
our city treasury in a very satisfactory
condition. I am informed by our pre
decesson that the city is free from debt,
and that there is a balance in hands of
the city trvasury of something near two
l.undrctl dollars. This added to the
revenues collected from all sources for
the present year will aggregate sonic
thing near twelve hundred ilollars.
The road and stre-ct fund will amount
to something near four hundred ilol
lars, which will leave you a common
fund of airout eight hundred dollars,
which amount, if judiciously appropri
ated, will go far towards beautifying
and improving our thrifty little city.
It is your duty, gentlemen, as repre
sentatives of the iK-ople, to see that the
common fund is judiciously appropri
ated ; to see that every dollar expended
brings a good return in the way of im
provement to our city.
Our fire department should le well
maintained and completely organized,
and should be supplier! "with ample
means for operation at all times, as up
on this branch alone doends the safety
of our business and residence property.
Tlie cleansing of streets ami alleys, I
think, should rettivc your early atten
tion. I am informed that there is an
existing ordinance on this subject, ami
I would recommend that you see that
the same is enforced so as to include
streets, alk-ys, etssjxols ami backyards,
as I deem jt necessary for the health
and safety of the city. I would sug
gest that you pay ample attention to
all existing laws and see that they are
pn perly executed; and if necessary re
peal them or properly amend them that
they may b properly enforced. I am
informed that there is an existing or
dinance relating to the controlling of
contagious disease's within the city lim
its. Thia, gentlemen, should receive
your attention and if needs lie, you
should so amend the law as to give'the
city authorities absolute control over
any cases which may come within
their jurisdiction. You are all business
men of our city and as such arc inter
ested in her future welfare, and the
people will ejspect that their Interests
will bp protecte-d by you.
In conclusion, gentlemen, in regard
to my position as presiding officer over
your honorable body, I would rcspe-ct-fully
attk the aid and help of each one
of you that I may discharge my duties
with fairness and in a manner which
will be satisfactory to you all.
J. A. Beard,
President Council,
At the conclusion of the above re
marks, President Beard appointed his
committees ami everything was in !
Tinining cnVr under the new adminis-
t ration.
There lielng no further business,
supper wan announced and the first
meeting of the new council adjourned

council during their administration
judging from the reports, have been
faithful in the discharge of their duties
In the interest of the city, and we con
gratulate the new ones that they en
ter upon theirs with a neat balance in
the treasury. It hi gratifying, too,
that the "surplus" Is not so as to give
the president any uneasiness as to the
most judicious methods of getting rid
of it.

January 31.
As January, after her low freaks and
high freaks of temperature, is alout to
cIosh; out business for the present and
make room for the short month of Feb
ruary to spread herself for the short
space of twenty-nine days, which, by
the way is one day more than her usu
al allowance, I will try again to come
to the rescue of Mountain Home and
see if I can stir up something of local
intere-st, for sometimes it liecomea ab
solutely nee-essary, when things won't
stir themselves, to stir them a littleand
see what can be done in that way.
There has lccn out little sickness
here this winteT except in the families
of Mr. Adrage and Mr. Fruit, and they
were reported be-tter at last accounts.
Stock is doing better this winter, so
far, than last. No loss has lieen re
ported by freezing, or from want of
fixxl, and now that these warm elays
are starting up the grass, it is to be
hoped that feed will be sufficient if not
abundant, and that stock will come out
all right in the spring.

Cal., on the 2(ith, to take charge of a

Trine, who went from this place to Cal
afornia lietwivn Christmas ami New
Year.
Xo accidents have occurred worth
recording, but as one came very near
happening yesterday, I will give that
a passing notice. As Old Father Trine
was going down the rocky road to
wards Brownsville in a two horse cart,
(one of those constructed for light draft
on bad roads) one of the wheels struck
a projecting root, partially tilting the
cart and unceremoniously dumping the
old man over the corneT of the little
box bed into the road right down
among the rocks In front of the wheel
and nearly under the heels of one of
the horses; he spoke to the horse's as he
was in the act of taking his tumble,
and at tie same time retaining a firm
hold of the lineti until he gathered him
self up, and quieted the team. On ex
amination he found that he had reef iv
ed no serious injuries, only somewhat
jamcd, and two slight bruises, one on
the right shoulder, and the other on
his right hip, each .of which had. been
embrace 1 bv a huge rock, as he alight-
ed so unevsncctcdly ujon them.

for a new house. I fear that he will
not build it, as a Mr. Shaw is 'negotiat
ing for Mr. Cams' farm, and it now
sit-ins evident that they will trade.
Mr. Shaw is from Kansas, and seems
highly pleased with our country. Of
course any one would 1h", to come here
and see our weather and the petple
when the blizzard is raging so unmer
cifully in the east.

February 8.
Our genial townsman, W. E. Price,
leaves this morning for California.
Trade is a little dull just now, and
our merchants are hanging "on the
oars," as the saying is among river
men.
The newly married couple are both
reorted sick this morning measles of
course the rosy devil is spoiling the
"honey moon ;" but such is life.
But little sickness, measles excepted.
The last crep Is on hands; and when
the rosy crop is gathered, we will
expect a glorious rest. "So mote it be."
Polities is very quie't Just now. The
two old hulks dreading the 14th of
February, when that huge mountain
of 041 is exjHt-te-d to loom up, which
will make "Jordon a hard road to tra
vel." Our new mill proprietor, Mr. Goan,
is making quite an improvement to his
dwelling and will move his family to
it soon. We are expee'ting large im
provcpicnts to the mill in course of the
next summer.
Bom to the wife of Mr. Frank
Mack, on the 7th, inst., a son. Bale
and mother doing well, but poor Frank!
He may get over it. Hope he will.
Somewhat convalescent this morning,
mother gossip reports.
Mr. A. H.Johnson has been failing
in health for some time, and thinking
a change of climate would benefit him,
started to California, but in conse
quence of the blockade, is stopping in
Salem a few days with relative.
Farmers are complaining of crops
being froze out, which is very discour
aging, but hope our great anchor cheers
us up with the prospects (gloom y, how
ever) that a better time Is coming. It
may be ilistant, but "try, try again" is
the motto, . Scro,
