DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have iniur-
ed themselves by private and improper indul-
genccs 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 heart, dyspepsia, nervousness. irritabilitv.

MENTALLY-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, sclf-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 cali on
Dr. Young, and be at once restored to perfect
health. Let no false delicacy prevent Won. but

While the precipitation during the season just
passed has been very little greater than that of
the preceding one, as shown above, it must be
remembered that we had a much larger amount
of drizzly, foggy, and damp weather, and fewer
bright, desiccating days, than last year. so that
the advantages of this season over that of 55-6
are greater than is indicated merely by the rain
guage.
The amount of rain which has fallen annually
in the city of Sacramento, since 1872, is as
follows, measured as usual in inches:

1t will be remembered that the season pre-
ceding the above was marked by an unusual
abundance of rain which thoroughly saturated
the ground so that this comparatively triAing
amount, $50 inches-only about one-fourth of
the annual precipitation at New York, and but
one-sixth of that which falls in Tennessee-was
sufficient to ensure good crops.
Season of l854-5.-The first rain fell on the
4th of October. In November occurred consid-
erable drizzly weather, but not rain enough to
measure The total amount falling in the sew
eral months was:

Through the kindness of scientific friend

are enabled to lay before them the following
brief review of the rains of the last four winters
The measurement may be relied on as being
strictly accurate, except the estimate for the
present season, which is nearly so.
Wet Season Of 1853-4.-The first rain which
fell in sufficient quantity to lay the dust, oc-
Cured Sept. Is; the last, April 2s-to the depth
of an inch On the 9th and 14th of May we
had hail, and a dash of rain on June 18th The

by very warm or windy weather, causing rapid
evaporation, and destroying the effect of the

son an unfavorable one.
Season Of ls56-7.-On Sept. 10th we had
thunder, with a few drops of rain. In October

merely direct attention to one point. 1t was
for long time universally supposed in the

tensively entertained, that while the climate of
California is remarkable for the entire absence
OF ram during the summer months, it is equally
remarkable for the great quantity of water

position.

1An important steamboat suit has been
decided in the Circuit Court of Louisiana. at
New Orleans. Roach & Long, engine build
ers of that city, brought an action on Ger
tain notes for money due tor constructing the
engines of the steamer Capitol, claiming a
lien upon the boat for the payment. 1.-The
contract was made in 1854, and in April 1855
the boat was purchased by Chapman and
others, and enrolled ut New Orleans as their
property. Two of the notes given by Cap
tain IRE, wh' contracted for the boat, and
was the original owner, had been protested.
and the holders claim lien on the boat under
the admiralty law, and also special statute
law of Kentucky. The Justice of the Court
decided against the claim of Roach tI Long:
the libsllants reversed the decree of the Dis
trict Court, and dismissed the libel, deciding
that they had no privilege on the vessel.

decision stand good longer than 60 days-that
the Captain is not liable, or the boat either.
This case will be carried to the Supreme
Court.

sB- The Cannclon Reporter, after sever
al weeks Of silent reflection on the subject,
complains of remarks made by the Evans
Vile Journal in October last on the defeat OF
John G. Shoemaker, county domagogue Of
Perry, in his efforts to secure the office oil
county Auditor. To be just to Mr.. Shoema-
ker and to answer the complaints Of the he
porter, if the editor will reiterate in his col
umns the opinions which he has hundred
times most emphatically expressed previous
to the last years of the political and moral
character OF this same John C. Shoemaker,
we will republish them in the Journal and
most cordially endorse them as most emf
nently just and true. These opinions were
formed by the editor after ten or twelve
years intimate acquaintance with the sub
ject of them, and cannot therefore have been
'crude or hasty." We ask only that the edi-
tor of the Reporter shall be frank and full in
the restatement ofhis former honest convic.
tions-and not be alarmed if his old political
opinions be "made transparent" We will
publish them and vouch for their justice and
truth.
