EDINBURG NOTES.

The Christmas holidays have passed,
and we think very pleasantly in our good
old town, nothing so far as we are ap-
prised of having occurred to hurt the
good feelings OF jar the pleasant dreams
of any one. The most notable ofall pleas
ures was the union of our two good bands
on New Years day. They united and
paraded the streets, discoursing the
best Of music, and entertaining the
best of feelings, reminding US somewhat
Of uniting the Blue and the Gray as OF
old Many like occurrences of New Year,
is our wish to these good boys So far %
incorporating is concerned Hamburg
takes the lead coming into town New
Years day on horseback, % or 30 strong,
under the leadership of the gallant cap
tain, Dick Newland, who we must say
conducted his march with becoming dig
nifty.
On New Years eve the bar room of the
Eureka House was broken into and the
cash drawer, with contents taken out
Amount not known, but be it little or
great, It adds another burglary to our
town. Wen soon gain an interesting
reputation. The offender need not hest
tate, however, to make known his deeds,
as our courts are quite lenient In fact,
while conversing with good divine a
few days ago he remarked: GAS our courts
were now being conducted, he feared it
would not be many years before the peo-
pie would feel to rise in mob or riot to
see that Justice shall be melted out to the
guilty.
The young people in this place were
blessed with amusement in the way Of
parties, sociables, &C., during the holt
days. OF the former, there were a goodly
number, every night We believe, at some
young lady or gents home, where in each
case, fine supper OF refreshments ofsome
kind were served. The hop held in
Hlsey's Hall, evidently was a success, as
every one who participated seemed
pleased, there being a number from ad-
joining towns and country.
