The indulgence in secret practices is the most
certain, though not always the most immediate
and direct, avenue to destruction. Physicians of
all ages have been most unanimously of the opin
ION that the loss of one ounce of the seminal Sc
cretiOns, by unnatural aid or emissions weakens
the system more than the abstraction of forty
ounces of blood. One Of the FIRST writers on
medical jurisprudence states that three-fourtbs of
the insane owe their malady to such abuse
How impOrtadt then, it is--for every one hav.
ing the least cause to suspect any trouble in that
way, to attend to it Immediately; even one single
occurrence should be sufficient to cause doubt,
and much more so if the person had ever INDUCED
in the sOul-killing habit. The treatment pursued
by the justly celebrated DR.. j. G.. Young in cases
OF seminal weakness, impotency, sterility, ner-
vous debility and paralysis (the last is the most
dangerous, and when it once occurs, incurable,) }
Is not surpassed by any physician in the country
1t is the same as that followed by him for years,
under the guidance of the world-renowned Rec
ord of Paris, and Acton of London. DIR. Young's
office Is at the corner of Montgomery and Cali
fornia sts, where he can be consulted on that and
all other private diseases, with the utmost conf
dence and secrecy. DIR. Young will warrant
perfect and permanent cure, or make no charge
N.B.-Letters enclosing $40 will receive prompt
attention. The doctors time being so much taken
up than he cannot attend to letters unless paid for
it.

TYPOGRAPHICAL FLARE-UP.

The why and the wherefore believe are as follows:
Two females OF respectable connections in this city bad
been engaged to learn type setting in the Oboihce OF the
Register Association, of which Mr. William Brney is the
principal proprietor The alarming intelligence Of this
fact conveyed 10 that legislative body Of unlimited
powors-the Printers UDion-and forthwith the eiic
Issued in compliance with which all the compositions
poyod on The EremRg Register threw up their situations.
Mr Birney had prepared for the emergency. On Situr
dav he sent 10 New York TO engage number Of compost
tor and pay their way to this city.
The Printers Unon however, teegraphed TO the New
York Union and prevented the engagement OF any bat
members of that Union. Ten Of them sent 10 this
city. At the wharf they met by committee OF osm.
positors taken in charge and quarerd at the expense OF
the Philadelphia Union This esteemed an excellent
practical joke. In the meantime Mr.. Brney engaged .
number OF outside composo with whom he set to work
to get his paper But his opponents evinced yester
day determination to Illustrate him. If possible.
According his representations they induced two OF hm
carriers leave threatened the pressmen endesvored 70
persuade the persons having the forms in charge to knock
them into pi and in fact eSerted themselves to break
down the whole business of the establishment Bat BY
the aid of some officers Of the Marshas Police, and by
dnt of extraordinary exertions Mr. Brney published his
paper in a respectable shape.
Last evening warrants issued for the arrest Of
Waiter w Bell S. H. Breinheisor VIM. II Wooley and

charge of conspiracy Mr. Bell taken before Alder
man Kenny and held in $500 for hearing this afternoon
