LAWRENCE, K. T., Dec. e6, 1856.
The observance Of Christmas in Lawrence,

carried on under the pretense that all is s.peace
and harmony" in Kansas. The immortal Stubs,
alias Dread Guards, turned out in their black
waterproof coats, which the young ladies of
the Dread Institute Mass, so generously pre-.

and ''chased the glowing hours with flying feet"
Several of the convicts belong to this Company,
and Capt. Hamden gave them furlough Of
three days to attend the ball, with the excep-
