the Treasury has thoroughly examined the
accounts Of Hon. T. Butler King, formerly
collector Of the port of San Francisco, and
that the disputed points have been decided

der which Mr.: King accepted the Office,

have shielded him from even the suspicion
Of malfeasance. There was no U. S. Court

Price of Wheat.

The New York Tribune copies from
Hunts Merchants Magazine, table ofpri-
ces of wheat per bushel at Albany, on the
first Of January for 81 years, and upon this
table remarks:
You will notice that only five times in
those years wheat has been 81 or upward
per bushel while it was seventeen times at
ST or under-twice at seventy-five cents
Only once in thirty-seven years, that is
since 1917, to wit, in 1887, has it reached
So. The average price for the whole period
is 81 SO. For the last thirty years it is
81 25, and we give it as prophecy, which
we think may be relied upon, that will be
the price next January. Those who are in
terested may as well make note of that
The crop of wheat is too good, too widely
extended, and the demand for export to Eu-
rope or California too limited, -four specu-
lators too hard up to maintain present pri-
ces. You may as well mark that, Messrs.
Farmers and Whcat-buyers."

A CARD-FROM DR. j. c. YOUNG'S PRI-
- VAVE MEDICAL OFFICE.-To the af-
licted.-ln this age of progress, when science is
developing itself IN such manner as to appear
almost miraculous, everything in common place
is looked upon as not worth notice In view of
this fact, Dr.. Young corner of Montgomery and
California streets, up stairs, has concluded to
leave the beaten track hitherto pursued by most
scientific physicians (that of waiting for the pub
lie TO find YOU out al0ne,) and publish to the
world. as much as may be, his knowledge of the
healing ant to let those who are in need of as
sstance know where they can 1lEd relief without
fear of being imposed upon.
In continuation of this subject, Dr. Young
would say that for the past ten years he has pur-
sued the practice of medicine in one OF the lar
gest cities OF the United States, with the highest
success, and that his standing as a physician is
without leproach, having at one time been lee
turer at the University of Pennsylvania on vene-
real diseases.
Upon all these considerations, Dr. Young has
confidence in introducing himself to the public
knowing that they viii sustain we'll earned merit
The following are a few Of the many testimO~
mails which have appeared in the public journals
of the last few years
TFrom the Boston Medical Journal.1
Although we are opposed to the system of adj
vertsing. for good and sufficient reasons, still we
deem it but Justice to say that DR.. Young is one
of the most industrious and intelligent votaries
OF the medical science IN the United StateS'
[From Professor Jackson.l
The subscriber is personally acquainted with
Dir. Young, and has seen much of his practice
and can bear testimony to his merits as practi-
toner.
TFrom the New York Herald.]
The emnence Of this distinguished gentleman
in his profession and the very extended opportu-
mites possessed by him for the observation Of We
ne1eal diseases, makes his services invaluable to
those afflicted with the above complaints.
TFrom the Wing and Advertiser.l
All afflicted with private complaints, should if
possible consult with Dr.. Young, whose medical
education is not surpassed by any physician in
the country In his skill, honor and integrity all
may rely with safety while most of the medical
practitioners in the city are without honesty or
respectabilty, their pretensions being grounded
in ignorance and assumption.
