BEET SUGAR.-We have received from the

the sugar, new being manufactured at their
works near Alvarado in Alameda County 1t
is beautiful article Of white crystalized SUI
gar and we should judge to be equal in quail
ity to the crushed sugar manufactured at San
Francisco. The sample is at our office where
any person can have an opportunity of seeing
it. Our people should take an interest in the
manufacture of this article, if as good as 9TH
er sugars there is no reason why it should
not be generally used and thereby enable the
people of our State to save sending immense
sums to other countries for the raw material.
From the note accompanying the sample re-
ceived we extract the following:
'Our product is now before the people of
this Coast. If they, the consumers, give the
enterprise a helping hand. by calling for and
using homegrown Sugar. in preference to SUI
gar of foreign growth, Sugar Factories will
multiply rapidly, and the three to four mil

To-day ends the year eighteen hundred and
seventy. 1t, like its predecessors will be long
remembered for many important events j;
among which the war that was inangurated
and now being prosecuted in Continental Eu-
rope the PRONUNCIATION by an Ecumenical
Council, of the dogma of Papal Infallibility,
and the taking away of temporal power from
the Pope of Rome, will stand out most prom
inent. While the European nations have
been in a high state of excitement, which
still continues and may lead to more wars,
our own country has been blessed with peace
and general prosperity. There is reason for
US to feel grateful for the many favors that as
a people we have been allowed to enjoy, and
particularly for the great improvement and
OSCILLATIONS that have been made, toning
down partisan feeling which so long a time
had baneful effect by estranging different
portions of our people. 1t is to be hoped the
experience Of the year just closing, will hsye
an influence to bind all parties closer and
closer in their efforts for the advancement
and general good of the country.
Among individuals how many have failed
to perform the resolves and promises made at
the commencement of the year. Many who
commenced the year with high hopes and
good health have passed away and all that
remains of them is the good or evil that they
done in life. Tomorrow commences another
year it is not allowed to man the privilege
of looking in the future, the only way to pro-
vide for it, is by calling the experience of the
past to our aid. 1t is the duty of all to avoid
former errors and endeavor to improve them
selves throughout the new year thatit may be
in reality happy and useful one-one that
when it ends will fill tie mind with satisfac-
ton that it has been well spent.
To the people of the county we advise the
cultivation Ct spirit of contentment, labor
for the improvement of your minds, live and
act as If this was to he your life long home,
erect your houses, improve your lands, assist
in every way in your power to add to the in
trinsic value of the general whole. By so
doing you will build up happy community.
which will secure to you prosperity and that
feeling of content which is the great aim of
life. Do this, and the greeting that we send
you will be more than empty sound, it will
be to you in reality "Happy New Year."
