acting as the agent of his wife, This, have
endeavored to show, the law will not permit.
and moreover, am satisfied that the agency
is mere pretence; that Rippstein is conduct
inc the business in the name Of his wife, for

AUBURN, DECEMBER 20, 1856.
Christmas.

This time honored anniversary passed
off with becoming ceremonies and the usual
festivities, so far as Auburn was concerned.
The sun broke forth beautifully in the morn
ing, the atmosphere was clear and sharpened
with frost sufficient to make one feel clad
to be alive. Our little friends were on the
alert at an early hour, wishing us merry
Christmas, and making it merry with their
gleeful chattering over their toys and sweet
meat presents. BY and by the older fry
were busy over forums of egg-nogg, punch,
etc, all Of which had very melowing in
fiuence upon the human clay. At II o'clock,
A. NJ. service was performed by the Rev. Dr.
Hatch, in the courthouse on which occa-
sion George Alexander, infant son of our
esteemed townsman, VIM. T. Henson was
christened. George Alexander is bright
beautiful child, and as it would seem quite
precocious, for his flther told his Reverence
that he believed in sail the articles of the
Christian Faith, as contained in the Apostles
Creed" he furthermore pl lomised that his son
would "renounce the devil and all his works.
the vain pomp and glory Of the world, with
all covetous desires of the same, and the sin
full desires of the flesh"
During the day sword was presented
accompanied with appropriate speeches, to
certain military appointee under the Com
mander and Chief of the forces of Califor-
fornia.
Turkey dinners, closed in the day. Our
own fortunes were most flattering. We were
invited to several dinners, half dozen balls,
actually made manager at two of them.
For all these cvilities, the Lord makes us
truly thankful, and in the mean time we
salute the public at large.

The Close of the Year,

The sands in the glass of the year ! $50

Before another issue of this paper lcap-year
will have passed away. TO some it has been
full of hope, whilst Others again it has stepped
in misery. But why repine, it is but another
sand deposited upon the ilimilabe shores of
eternity. Why should disappointed ambi-
ton froth in impotent rage or hide its head
in obscurity' Is not the bright world re-
dolent with life and renewed youth, still be-
fore us: Why should one gnaw the heart and
imbitter life with the pangs OF disappointed
love? Life is but a span, and we poor NOR
tails but the most insignificant of atoms, as
compared with the boundess creation that
surrounds us. The mighty man, with his
ambitious hopes and power, whose name fills
the earth, is but speck an animated magot,
in the mighty sea of the universe. lie is not
to last as long as the unsightly rock by the
way-side, his name will be forgotten centu-
ries before the monuments of inanimate mat
he has erected, ceases to be the wonder of
men. lie struggles for an eternity of fame
forgetting that those who are to render it to
him are passing away like himself. Work
ing for time to come, when not one of us are
able, more than fcebly, 10 discharge the re-
sponsibilities of the passing hour.
Pinng for future, wheu thatfuture is as
certain as it is unbidden and irresistible.
Sending forth impotent prayers to alter the
fixed web of existence, well knowing that
every hair of his head is numbered and that
not a sparrow can fall to the ground save by
the knowledge and consent of HIM who is
all and in all. This vain magot would break
link in the mighty chain of creation, and
dsarranse the mechanism set up by a God.
Hacking his imaginatons about future
world, whilst living in one whose beauties
and mysteries he cannot comprehend the
thousandth part.
Oh mighty man, learn wisdom of children,
enjoy the fcetng moment as it passes; fulfill
the duties of the day, and dismiss all care of
the morrow, for IT, ? morrow will take care
of itself BE industrious, for the mythology
which represents labor as curse upon man,
is falschood-it is his great blessing, be
fruoal, honest, virtuous, faithful to the call of
suffering humanity, and you will enjoy the
mortal part of that eternity now upon us.
Let It's make merry then, as the old year
,ssses out; make merry and welcome the
new year-enjoy is written upon every
page of natue--eijoy-enjoy and thus rem

ATTACHMENT LAw.-The Placer IIeIald
is the only exchange paper we receive op-
posed to the repeal of the Attachment Law.
The Herald has long article on the subject
but the reasoning is too old fogy to need
much notice The repeal of this law is not
called for by newspapers for Buncombe, but
the great mass of the people have moved.
in the matter. and unanimously demand its
repeal. We should think that its odious and
oppressive operation would induce every
sensible man to lift his voice against it We
entertain strong hopes that the law will not
remain in force many weeks.
Sierra Democrat Of tie goth.
The Union says it has single handed and
alone battled for the repeal Of this attach
ment Law for the past three years. Where
was the man of the Democrat, all this time!
Old Foggy deed,-what does he and
his kind advocate as substitute, for the
present law? something they have seen prob
ably in their state from which they migrated

ple are essentially different Make the law

Row AT THE STATE PRIsoN-A distur-

day, in which one Pat Gallagher shot ano-

perhaps fatal wound. Several other convlcts
joined in the. fray, but the guards soon
brought them to terms, and placed them
under lock and key. Gallagher was senten-
