Regarding the Wearing Of
Mourning.

1t is not the custom of our people 10 symbolic
their feelings by a change of dress, with this sol
itary exception. If a man becomes bankrupt, or
has his house burned down, or loses heavily in
commercial operations. or has II son in disgrace,
or a child misled by evil company, or any other
griefful experience. he does not change his garb.
The one solitary and exceptional case is bereaye-
menti But there is in domestic sorrow Il delica-
cy. or ought to be, which should shrink from an
ostentatiousness such as mourning apparel cannot
fail to have. No one has a right so to express
his SORROWS as to intrude them upon every eve
wherever he goes.
Custom has long justified it; otherwise, it
would be esteemed an indelicacy for one to be a
walking advertisement of ones own private
grieis. But, If one We're permitted to announce
this one side of domestic experience by change o,
garb, the questions still remains, whether ex-
preston should be given To the weakness of natu-
raj feeling, or the triumph of Christian faith?
Whether we should symbolic the darkness of the
grave rs unenlightened nature shows 1t or the grave
made luminous by the triumph of our Saviour
and the glories of immortality beyond it? We
may he sure there is something wrong, in a
Christian community where death is surrounded
with associations of terror, where the young are
reared TO a horror of the sepulchrc, where pres
ent grief rises up like q dark cloud and shuts out
the heaven, wherein sermon, services, CONVERSE
ton, and dress-everything cOnspires TO shroud
death and the grave with darkness. Has sorrow n
right to be selfish? May it bear false witness
against Immortality? Has n Christian under be-
reavement a right to declare by his conduct:
''There is no light in the grave. none beyond it,
and no comfort for the bereaved but only black,
black, black sorrowi'' L never meet one mufled
in black from head to foot, without a certain hor-
ror. The smell of Grape is to me like the smell
of a charnel-housei ~
Did it ever occur to mourners to ask, what, i.
those for whom L grieve were to speak to me out
of their blissful rest in heaven. would be their
choice-tkat l should be shroudcd like one in des-
pair, or ROBBED as one who mourns, but with
Christian hope?-H. ". Beecher.

owner has succeeded and produced two successive
crops of such beets, they will then loan HIM on
mortgage of the land, at seven per cent interest
per annum met payable in Paris).
The gentlemen who propose to embark their
money and their skill in IL are strangers. They
do not expect to be assailed as monopolists or
looked upon rs intruders, but TO be received as
co-laborcrs and improvers. They are careful
business men-moderate IN their ideas of profit,
but stringent as TO security. They don't enter
on this to sell shares but to make sugar. They
know by experience that if California cultiyators
can give them beets as rich in sugar rs L have
represented, and our sugar refineries can afford TO
pay the market prices of the world for raw sugar,
that their money and knowledge can step IN be
tween the two and earn a profit, but that prott
is not sufficient to cause them 10 risk either their
time or their money beyond the limits of a strict
and enlightened prudence, nor to place their
property nor their talents where they viii not be
welcomed by the agricultural community on
whose intelligent cooperation they have 10 rely.
There will be no real difficulty in arriving at a
price for beets. Before the time arrives for fixing
prices, cultivators will have sufficiently mastered
the subject 10 understand exactly what they are
doing. This general outline will be sufficient in
the meantime to INTRODUCES the subject for their
consideration.
LEGISLATION NEEDED.
With u view of fostering this enterprise in its
infancy, We should have some encouraging legis-
lation. / believe we can rely on Congress TO
exempt sugar beet machinery from import duty
for the next five years-it is specially so exempted
for the present year. Our State Legislature
should exempt from all taxation these rural facto-
ries for three years after their erection and if 1t
can constitutionally be done, contracts made for
labor in Europe, at rates certified to by American
Consuls as fair and current in the countries
where they are made, should be by our law en-
forceable in California. The absurd law which
taxes mortgages also stands in the way of cheap
advances. GEORGE GORDON.

POLICE COURT.-The crowd at this
Court on yesterday morning was quite
meagrc. Some three cases were up for
adjustment. Assault and battery was
the ruling feature of the complaints.
Hugh GardHer was up for commit,
ting an assault on some person, who re-
pented of entering the complaint and
came before the Court and withdrew
the charge, whereapon the Judge dis,
missed tho case at the complainants
cost.
Margaret Gill was arraigned for conf
hitting an assault on John Ready. The
evidence going to show that she had
imbibed rather too freely of "tangle'
foot" whisky, and while under its intiu,
ence, assisted Mrs. Ready in beating
poor John. The Judge administered a
fitting rebuke to the boisterous Mar
garet and let her off with a small fine
81 and cost.
The next was Mrs. Catherine Ready,
charged with similar offense-that of
beating her husband John. Poor John
came forward, whose visage bore the
marks of the treatment complained of,
and testified that his life was not safe
with the two Amazons. The Judge
gave her good lecture for unbecoming
behaviour, and, letting her off with the
lowest fine Isl and cost reminded heI
that if she was brought before him
again on a similar charge hsshould put
the fine at the utmost extent.

ROBBERY AND ATTEMPT TO RoB.-On
Monday night last some scientific rob-
bers effected an entrace into the cellar
of Hutchins Rhodes, on the Island, and
cleaned it out entirely, not leaving a
single thing. This would admit of an
inference that the scoundrels did not
live far off, or they would not have
made so clean sweep of the plumber.
On the same night, as Thomas Glass
cock was returning home from the city
proper, he was accOsted by some three
or four persons at the west cad of the
bridge. He knocked one down, and as
the second one approached he gave
him blow and a kick that sent him
sprawling. AT this juncture the third
came up, and as Mr.. Glasscock kept
stepping back, the scoundrel was en-
deavoring to get knife out of his
pocket. Mr.. G. finally gave him q blow
and ran to the grocery of Mr.. Deitz, just
beyond the Island Foundry. 1t is be-
lieved that some of the party reside at
o. near Bridgeport. Such bold rascals
should be ferretted ont and brought to
Justice.

RIVER NEws.-The river is rising SO
slewly that it is almost inperceptible.
Last night there were about twenty
five inches of water by the marks and
slightly swelling. The navigation is
pretty well INSTRUCTED by low water,
and when we shall get rise this depo-
nent saith not. We believe the Naomi
left for Parkersburg yesterday, and the
Sewickly for Suntish. No boat has
has been put in the Steubcnville trade,
except Captain ONeils horse packet,
which has no regular time for starting,
only when she gets ready.
To-day the Arrowline will leave for
Parkersburg at II A. NJ, and the Sc
wickly for SunfisA at 3 P. NJ. The horse
packet will leave for Steabenville at
sometime this afternoon.

Mt. DE CHANTAL.-This ne plas ultra
of female instruction is again under
way and is filled almost to it's capacity
with students. We are informed that
something over one hundred girls were
on hand at the commencement. The
rare attainments in instrumental and
vocal music which can be acquired at
this celebrated school, render its fame
worldwide. And justly is the celebrity
of the institution awarded to the Sisters
OF the Visitation, B. V. NJ. ut Mount de
Chantal. The healthiness Of its lOca-
tion, the parental care of all the sisters
connected with it, TIE superior talent of
all its teachers, and the publicly conce-
ded unrivaled musical accomplishments
of the one who presides over that de-
partment, gives the school an ecldt cir
cumscribed only by the knowledge of
its existence.

Under these favoring auspices very gratifying
progress has been made in extending the railroad
track from both directions Nearly 1000 miles
of the Main Line and oOnverging Branches be-
tween the Missouri River and the base Of the
Rocky Mountains have been built within three
years. The CENTRAL Pacific RAILROAD has
also steadily and successfully carried the Main
Stem Line from the steamboat navigation of tho
Pacific TO the summit of the Sierra Nevada, and
into the Great Salt Lake Basin east Of the Cali.
fornia line. Having overcome by far tho most
difficult and expensive portion Of the whole
line, the probabilities of the through connection
