Observance Of the sabbath.

We would call the especial attention of
our readers TO the cards of C. r. Edwards
d Co., and Messrs Kendall G Spencer, to be
found in another column. We are ever
pleased 10 record determinations Of that kind.
The pioneers in this work of reform may pos
sibiy lose something pccunariy l.y closing

community they viii be largely gamers. We

from those which prevailed Two and three

midst Of society. Now things are widely
changed and vice and immortality are found
lurking mostly in by-places, fearing the open
sunlight of day, and standing abashed before
the moral face of the community. The
change is most happy one. One thing on
ly is now lacking to place Grass Valley in
the very front rank of the great work of
moral reform. so much needed and so loudly
called for oy bo the press and people of
this State-that is, a Christian observance of
the Sabba,h. We do not particularly ask
that people ,hould all 90 10 church on that

commend such hing but we do most ear

and virtuous, and in the name of large
proportion, if not ma jorjty Of our business
men and citizens generally. that, as COM
munity, we should take some immediate and
decided steps in favor Of a general closing OF
all public places OF business on the Sabbath.
Many towns in the State have already taken
such steps-many others arc "agtating the
matter. We trust Grass Valley will not be

ence goes to prove that the observance of
one day in seven, is gain every way. The
overwrought beast of burthcn requires one

al the counter, in the field, or in the shop,
demands. as right, one day in seven the
physical construction Of man, everywhere,
requires one day in seven. for rest or recrea-
ton; the universal voice Of Christians and
the positive demands Of the Christians God
