HISTORY OF OUR LIFE IN TEN LIsEs.-A sub
scrloer very facetiously asks us to publish a
history of our life in ten lines. Here it is-just
received this mail,-written by the editor of
the Pittsburgh Daily Dispatch, Mr. J. Heron
Foster, one of the ablest writer's in the United
States:
The San Andreas Independent is the name
of handsome weekly paper published in CAL
averas county, California, by Armor Kooser,
and edited by Mr.. Benjamin P. Kooser, a native
of Western Pennsylvania Mr.. K. labored G at
case on the early numbers of this paper, wears
ago-served an enlistment in the 4th Regiment
of U. S. Artillery, in California, and is again at
his trade. We wish him success which we
are confident he will every way deserve"
BY the same mail we received the Pittsburgh
Commercial Reuis,O, edited by our old friend
James B. Kennedy, who gives our life' the
following appendix:
" The San Andreas Iadepcndcnt-We are in
receipt OF two copies OF new weekly paper Of
the above title published at San Andreas. Cal
averas county, California. 1t is handsome
sheet, and edited with marked ability by our
old friend, BENJAMIN p KoosER, ESQ.,. who went
to the gold diggings among the first adventur-
ers to those regions"
Is our tastidious subscriber satisfied? He
complains we have too much Big Tree talk in
the paper. With the Sacramento Bee we are
always ready to give an account of ourself,"
believing that an editor is public property, and
he is bound to keep the public informed of his
whereabouts and of his seeings and doings If
he has done or seen anything of note the pub
lie want to know it, and if he has not they still
want to know that The public are clever
set of people, and they must be gratfed."
Our trip to the Big Tree was the most pleas
ant, and certainly the grandest sight we ever
witnessed. We had a "high old time y while
away up in the rejuyenescent armament, which
sends out aromatic exhalations from the snow
tempered fountains of the upper deep-and why
not tell it? The sacrifice of weeks time and
few dollars expense, will ensure to every man
In California the same privileged Then why

Constitutional Debility or Seminal Teaknes..
DR.. YOUNG addresses those who have iniur-
ed themselves by private and improper indul-
gences in that secret and solitary habit which
ruins the body and mind uniting them for
either business or society. The following are
some of the sad and melancholy effects produc-
ed by early habits of youth, viz: weakness of
the back and limbs, pain in the head, dimness
of sight, loss of muscular power, palpitation of
the heart dyspepsia, nervousness, irrtability,
arrangement of the digestive functions, general
debility, symptoms of consumption, &C.
MENrALLY-The fearful effects upon the mind
are more to be dreaded. Loss of memory, con-
fusion of ideas, depression of spirits evil fore
bodings, aversion to society, sef-distrust love
of solitude, timidity, &C., are most of the evils
produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of
the above symptoms should not fail to call oD
DR.. Young, and be at once restored to perfect
health. Let no false delicacy prevent you, but
apply Immediately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequences of this terrible
malady.

IMPORTANT to Miners, Trarelers, dc

There Is malady Of deeper Importance,
either in a medical or moral point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
AS medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it affects health
and life, and his sole object should be to mti-
gate, as far as lies in his power the bodily suf-
fering. Human nature ut best is but frail; all
are liable to misfortune.
OF all the ills that affect man. none are more
terrible than those of a private nature Dread
full as it is in the person who contracts it.
frightful as are its rayages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent off,
spring. Such being the case, how necessary it
becomes that every one having the least reason
to fear that they have contracted the disease,
should attend to it at once, by consulting some
physician, whose respectability and education
enables him to warrant a safe, speedy and per-
manent cure. In accordance with this necesSi-
ty. DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to state
that by long study and extensive practice, he
has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal,
and having paid moro attention to that branch
than any other physician in the United States,
he feels himself better qualified to treat them
| Syphilis in all its forms, such as Swelling of
the Groins Ulcers, Ulcers in the Throat, Sec

Gleet, Structures. False Passages, Inflammation
of the Bladder and PROSTATE Glands, Excoria-
tons, Tumors, Pustules, etc., are as familiar to
