160 years ago today - Dec 25, 1855

[Hosea Stout] Tuesday 25 Decr 1855. Cold Christmass but still times[.] No guns firing no boys hooping[.] No petty fandangos,No brilliant cotillion parties[.] Every one minding his own business. And perhaps some few wife hunting or rather hunting the raw material[.]

House met at ten a. m. [and a number of legislative considerations were discussed]
