mont to postpone the action of this Co
yernment in regard to the Danish sonnd
du' for two years, in order that Den
mark may be enabled to extricate her

tremendous inundations had taken place
near Lake Winebago and Fox river, and
that large quantities of hay and grain
had been swept off.
A rumor is in circulation to the effect
that Ex Gov. Reeder has been murder
ed at St. JOSEPH in Kansas 1t is per-
haps fabrication. There was however
on Saturday last, report current in ST.

Matomoras had surrendered to the

We learn by gentleman who came
up from Valparaiso upon the last British
steamer, says the Panama Star, that at
the request of the Governor of Californ-
ia. the Chill Government recently placed
a body of soldiers at the disposal of the
U. 5. Minister, in the latter country, to
assist him in the arrest of the forger
Meiggs
The soldiers, we are told, proceeded
under the direction of the Minister'S
representative, TO the residence of Meiggs
IN Talchuana, but that worthy having
been advised of the movement by some
parties in Valparaiso, managed TO effect
his escape to Buenos Ayres, previous to
the arrival of the party. 1t is supposed
that Meiggs is now beyond the reach of
detection.

OThe present prospect of San Fran
cisco is rather a dim one surely, and
bids fair to become much darker duiine
the coming winter. The gas company
have commenced a suit in the 12lh dis
trict court against the city for $4,000,
due from the city for street lights. In
all probability they will soon "shut off
the street gas, and the city will be then
left in pitiable condition truly.

r. L J. CZAPXAY'S Medical and Surgical
Institute is becoming ''sine qua non'' to the
welfare of our State and health of our citi
zens, and his rapidly spreading reputation,
although it may excite surprise, is but the
signal of Skill, and follows as the natural ef-
feet of such a cause. We are personally ac-
quanted with gentlemen who had suffered
for years under chronic disease, and who had
taken advantage of erery available means
that promised relief, but without success until
they called upon DR.. l. j Czapkay, who in
an incredible short space of time has given
them eniire relief The Dr. conducts his in
stitute in manner that must be satisfactory
to all his patients. He examines, advises and
recommends without charge, and the patient
after hearing his terms of treatment can ac.
cept or reject at pleasure. This we consider
a fair way of doing business, whereas some
require consultation fee, although the con-
sultation may not be satisfactory. In no case
does the DR.. make charge unless he effects
cure. This he is able to do, because he fees
the confidence which long experience has giveu
and no doubt the consolation which apper-
tains to that confidence. Persons afflicted with
either Acute or Chronic disease, would do well
to consult the DR., at all events it can do no
harm, as for consultation he asks no fee, nor
does he insist obedience to his advice, un-
less the patient places himself under his care
