DR YOUNG returns his sincere thanks to his
~ numerous patients (amounting to over two
thousand in tie last year) for their patronage
and would embrace this opportunity to remind
them that he continues to consult on those diff
cult cases of Venereal, which have baffled the
skill of some OF the most celebrated physicians
and upon which he never failed to perform rad
ical cure.
The Doctor is happy to see the public appreci-
ate the valuable services Of regular medical
graduate-one in whose skill and integrity they
can place the utmost confidence, rather than
class him with the herd of Quacks, who infest
the city, sowing the seeds Of debility and disease
to an alarming extent by pretending to cure the
world of diseases, when they know nothing Of the
m0dus Operandi OF medicine. They give mercU-
ry and other pOiSin0us drugs under the name of
vegetable medicines, which, instead Of curing.

Mare I.vneh Law il Caiaveras--AnotlleI
Man Hung.

Jesus Maria. says the Calaveras Chroni-
Gle. has again become the scene OF bloody
tragedy. an account of which we are ena-
bled to give our readers detailed by an eye
witness. On Sunday last, a Mexican, by
tbe name of Justo Betancour, attempted to
take the life of William Joyce-one of the
Oldest residents Of the town-having no 9th
er provocatiOn, as far as can be ascertain
ed, than demand against Joyce for 81
which was promised him on the evening of
the same day. Joyce was walking in the
shade of an old tent, which stands upon the
street, when the Mexican approached and
asked for his money. Joyce told him that
he expected to receive some money in the
evening, at which time he would pay him:
he then turned to leave, when the Mexican
plunged a knife III his back, to the left of
the spine, and fed. Joyce was enabled to
reach the street before he fell When the
matter became known the town was imme-
diately surrounded and search commenced
for the assassin. Joyce bled profusely, and
from the situation OF the wound was sur
posed killed, and the excitement in const-
quence was almost terrible to behold. AZ
ter an hours search the assassin was found
secreted under bed. and the cry of char o
him" was heartily responded to by the
crowd, and a movement made toward a
large oak tree, when A. c. Lewis, ESQ.,, III
terceded for the prisoner, and for time
allayed the excitement, and the Mexican
was taken to his Office. During tie hour
which followed, large numbers Of Americans
had arrived, and also DR.. Holbrook, VII
had been sent for. A rumor at once spread
that the Doctor pronounced the wound a
mortal one, which acted like magic upon
the excited mass, and a rush to the Magis-
trate's office followed; from whence, despite
the resistance of Judge Lewis and the con-
stable, d. Philips, the prisoner was led forth,
and in another moment he was hanging life
less to the limb of tree. Joyces situation
is precarOus, and but little hope is enter
tained of his recovery. We have no desire
to extenuate the bloody deed Of the Mex
can; his attack was made without provoca-
tion upon good citizen; but neither can
we record the fact of his murder without
again deploring and protesting against such
a total disregard of law and order, and
deprecating the preparation Of such acts,
subverSive Of the whole organization OF So
ciety. Justice Lewis deserves much praise
for interfering between the mob and their
victim.
