Aubln's Patent Gas.

1t has been successfully demonstrated by
actual experience, in Sacramento and else
where in California, that this gas can be
manufacted and afforded not only at much
less price than the article heretofore gener-
ally used in cities and towns throughout the
Unit9d States, but can be afforded even in
California, at a less expense than candles,
and that, tee, while counting the brilliant
light afforded by single burner, only equal
to the poorest candle. The Orleans Hotel,
in Sacramento, has a private mandatory
for its own consumption, which supplies
eighty seven burners, at an expense Of less
than five dollars per night.
A company has been formed in San Fran
cisso for the purpose of manufacting this
gas, of which Ira p. Rankin, Esq, has been
chosen President. Mr.. II. was one of the
Republican nominees for Congress, lMessrs.
Cox and Turner being the other nominee y
and we trust the Gas that he will now fur
uish the public will be much acceptable
to them and afford them much more light
than the article furnished by him during
the late canvass.
The cheapness with which Aubin's Patent
Gas can be furnished, places it within the
reach of every mining town in the State
and we hope. ere long, to see a move made
by our citizens to light the town with it.
The machinery required for its manufacture
is simple, and but little labor and materials
are necessary.
We ca II attention to this matter, believing
that Oroville presents fine opening for
some entergrisng operator in this commod-
ity. Who bids

Santa Clara College.

The prospectus of this institution repre-.
sents it to be in thriving institution. 1t
is located in the beautiful valley of the same
name, and presided over by the Fathers Of
the Society of Jesus. The Valley is so well
known for its beauty and the unrivalled
character of its climate, that we need
scarcely couch upon it in those particulars.
The College is located about three miles
from San Jose. and as the prospectus says
at was founded in 1851, by the late Rev
j Nobii, s. j., was incorporated on the
18th of April, 1855, and empowered to con-
fer degrees and academical honors, and ex-
ercise all the rights and privileges of any
other literary Institution in the u States.
In the course of last year large structure
containing eight spacious class rooms, and n
well ventilated dormitory, one hundred and
ten feet long and forty feet wide, was added
to the College buildings. A new and COM
plete philosophical and chemical apparatus,
comprising all the recent improvements, was
ordered last year from Paris, and has ar
rived. There is o large library attached to
the institution. An al tifcial bathing pond,
supplied by an artesian well, has been con-
structed an additional study room sixty
feet long and thirty feet wide, and also a
gymnasium for athletic exercises"
From the description above portrayed of
the various attributes conducive to the
health and comfort of the pupils, as also of
their moral culture and welfare, we are led
to believe that Santa Clara College presents
great attractions for those who are just
about to attempt the ascension Of the hill of
education and science.

WONDERFUL LoNGEvITY,-A lady has

age Of one hundred and thirty-nine wears.
We may well say that the oldest OF Mexico
or any other country is dead. One hundred
and thirty nine years! What history IS
included in this time and how trivial
must have appeared to her the revolutions
and strfes in her country. She had seen
in her time twenty eight changes in the del
egates of Spanish power. and has, since the
independence of her country, seen the fifty
changes which have taken place in the adj
ministration of the government. Altogether
Mexico has had over seventy five changes in
