Editor re, al,
The rrotracted bad weather during the
Christmas week, did not prevent the peo-
pie of our town from enjoying due por-
ton Of t., many pleasures that are sure to
come with the holidays. There was quite
a number ofpersons in Caneyvillc Christ>
mas day, and the most interesting feature
vas the unusual quietude that prevailed
throughout the whole day. II has been
said ;hat Caneyville was noted for much
drunkenness, but on that day, there was
scarcely drunk man to be seen, and but
very few tight" ones. The little boys
were gathered together IN crowds shoot
ing ,Leir big guts," euch as fire crackers
paper caps &c, -ud all saying with one
vo.ce; Christmas comes but once q year
Every body seemed to enjoy the day in a
WY high degree. but when we went to
tie Christina tree at night, at Capt. W.
H. Sandusky's. il seemed that the pleas
ures had just begun. The tree was a
large cedar. beautifully decorated with
rich flowers Of every hue by Mrs. San
dusky and after the innumerable pres
enis were placed upon il, it wac sight
ttat WAS indeed pleasant to behold
There were several hundred nice aud
valuable presents placed upon the tree
and the cost was hundreds of dollars
Every little. girl and boy together with
the old folks went away with a goodly
number Of precious gifts. The many
presents given away on that occasion will
surely be kept as precious menentce'
whriher il is known by whom they were
given or not. The people OF Caneyvill'
should ever be grateful TO Capt. Sandus
Ky ard his estimable lady, for their un'
ceasing efforts to set forth something fol
the enjoyment of their friends
On Thursday night. Capt. Sandusky
W. S. Proctor aud l. n Eskridge gave 1
hop at the hall over Porter a Eskridgei

How Ia Spend the Wiatcr Eve
niAgS.


As the evenings are now growing
long, il is well for us 10 consider how
best to employ the long hours inter
vening between the close of dav and
bedtime. This time will either be
employed for guod or evil. These
hours could not he better spent than
la moral and intellectual culture. The
head of each household should see
that these evenings are so spent as TO
result in good to himself and his fam
lily. When the days work is done
and supper is over, how pleasant to
have the family seated around a
blazing hearth, and some one Of them
with good hook or PAPER to read for
the information and edifcation of the
whole circle. What a good influence
can be thus cXeried. How many val
liable lessons NAV be thus learned
during the coming winter, time alone
can tell.
Well do We remember that some of
the most pleasant hours Of our life were
spent thus, and we are free TO say that
information obtained in that way has
been worth more 10 us than all the
schooling We ever received. An in
telligent manhood and womanhood is
the greatest blessing that any country
can possess. The parents who raise
their children 10 be industrious, polite
and honorable men and women, con.
fer upon them far richer boon than
all the lands and tenements ever de.
vised a boon which time itself can
never eradicate. The long winter
evenings arc prOpitious times in which

Children are too closely confined OF

Parents should impress their chill
