OFFENsIvE.-On Friday morning the
citizens of State street were miserably
belabored with an odious smell which
was discover ed to arise from 'out house
exhumations strewn along the street from
Main to Broadway
If there is no ordinance against nuisan-
ces of this kind, our Town Trustees
would do well to pass one. The law
should be so formed, as to punish severe
ly, any one who would commit so gross
an insult on the inhabitants of town as
to make their streets the deposits Of
filth.
THEATRICAL.-Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne
is playing to crowded audiences at the
Forest theatre in Sacramento.
Miss Matilda Heron was announced to
appear for the first time in the city of
New York, at Wallack's theatre on the
goth of January.

San Francisco. Reports are conflicting
as to where the fault lays.
GIVE US From our various
exchanges, we notice, that much interest
is manifested N new patent discovery
tor the manufacture of gas, recently in
troduced into both of our principal lower
cities. 1t can be manufactured and light
furnished at a cost less than that Of cam
phine, at its present rates, and will be
found more brilliant and beautiful light.
more convenient and unattended with
danger.
In an article on this subject, the San
Francisco Globe says.
"The Company here is now thorough
ly organized, and elect their officers to-
day. Measures will be at once taken for
extending the operations of the Company
to Marysville, Nevada, Stockton, Oro-
vile, &c. The Aubin gas is manufactur.
ed from rosin, and not from rosin oil, and
should not be confounded with the latter.
BY Aubin's patent, the raw material is
used at mere sriaing cost. The works
are remarkable for their simplicity and
cheapness, and the manufacture is free
from the annoyances attending the coal
gas. The ready approval by the q. S.
government ofthis light, and its introduc-
tion into public buildings, lighth &C.,
is guarantee of its success J. while its
admirable working here and at Sacra-
mento, is It's best certificate"
We hope that measures will be taken
to introduce this gas into Columbia also.
DEATH-There are but few, so lost to
hope, SO dead to- sensibility, as not to
shudder and recoil when Death, the
king of Terror approaches.
lie is feared on the couch of sickness
terrible upon the battlefield, dreaded
in the sweeping pestilence, and is associ-
ated with dismal horrors when accompa-
MED with the midnight assassin. He is
the ghost of childhood, is feared by RI
per years and is avoided by old age! In
all conditions of life, among the rich or
poor, the bond or free, he is fearful and
unwe.come messenger. Hesistless in his
course, he stops not at the appeal of
friends, nor relents when the tears and
anguish of affection pleads for mercy.
Last week we were rejoicing that death
had not visited our peaceful homes but
now, we are panied in recording the
death of little girl, fair and beautiful as
the light of heaven, through which her
pule spirit may now be floating. But
few of our readers will not remember
the bright eyes and thoughtful yet sunny
face of little MARY URMY, who with her
elder sister has contributed so much to
the beauty and grace of G Columbia's chill
dren. But she is

It's evident that this law can ever
