WHEAT.-We notice that the Chi
cago Markets reports quote wheat at So cts,
per hushel. This ought to bring the price
of wheat mp to 6s cents per bushel here
Now the farmers can see the propriety of our
late advise to them pot to sell their whea
at from l5 to 80 cents rs recommended by
the Davenport Gazette. We thought We knew
enough of the state Of the market to know
that wheat would not he lower. and that
rs soon AS the panic was over, wheat would
regain its former reasonable rates. We
think it will vet be higher
But there is one thing we desire to call
| the attention of cur farmers of the interior
Day before yesterday $500 bushels ofwheat
was shipped for and sold in Davenport from
below 4Huscatine, simply because wheat
buyers here are paying cssh. and more per
hushel than our rural neighbors at Uasca-
tine Let farmers all over the State take
notice and govern themselves accordingly

Thankfulness is the Incentive to Gratitude.
C E II T IF C A T E.

The undersigned, desirous of acquainting
those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted, where permanent relief of
their sufferings may be obtained, feels it his
duty to thus publicly express his most sincere
gratitude to DR.. L. j. CZapkay for the perma-
nent recovery of his health Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident to the Wis
clous practice of uncomfortable passion in
youth; depressed in body and mind unable to
perform even the most trifiing duty imposed
upon the daily avocations of life, sought the
advice of many physicians, who at first re-
garded my disease as of trifing Importance !;
but, alas ! after few weeks, and in several
instances months, of their treatment, | found
to my unutterable horror, that instead of re-
lief, my symptoms became more alarming in
their torture and, being told by one, that my
disease, being principally confined to the brain
medicines would be of little consequence,
despaired of ever regaining my health, strength
and energy and, as a last resort, and with
but a faint hope, called upon DR.. Czapkay,
who, after examining my case, prescribed some
medicine which almost instantly relieved me
of the dull pain and dizziness in my head
Encouraged by this result, resolved to place
myself Immediately under his care, and by
strict obedience 10 all his directions and adj
vice, my head became clear, my ideas collected,
the constant pain in my back and groins, the
weakness of my limbs the nervous reaction of
my whole body on the slightest alarm or ex-
element; the misanthropy and evil forebo-
dings the self-distrust and want of confidence
in others; the incapability to study, and want
of resolutions the frightful, exciting, and at all
times pleasurable dreams at night, followed
by involuntary discharges, have all disap-
peared; and, in fact, in two months after hav-
ing consulted the Doctor, l felt as if inspired
by a new life-that life which, but a short
time ago, contemplated 10 end by my own
hand
With a view to guard the unfortunate from
falling into the snares of incompetent quacks,
| deem it my duty to offer this testimony to
the merit and skill of DIR. Czapkay, and rec
him to all who may stand in need of
medical advice, being assured by my own ex-
perience, that once under his care a radical
and permanent cure will be effected.

manent Cure of all Private
and Chronic Diseases,

EERlVATE Medical and Surgical Institute
IL DR.. l.. j. Czapkay has opened his Insti-
tute for the cure of all forms of disease, such
as Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Nocturnal Emissions,
and all the consequences of self-abuse. In the
first stages OF Syphilitic or Gornorheal diSeas-
es, he guarantees cure in few days. with
out Inconvenience to the patient or hindrance
to his business. When a patient, by neglect
or improper treatment, has developed the sec
ondary symptoms of Syphilis, such as buboes
or painful swellings on the groins, or ulcers
In throat and nose, which, if not checked, de-
stroy the soft parts and cause the bones to
mortlfy, separate, and come away, leaving the
sufferer an object hideous to behold or when
he has painful Swellings upon the bones, or
when his constitution is injured so as to pre-
dispose to consumption, other constitu-
tional disease, the Doctor guarantees cure or
asks no compensation.
In RHEUMATISM, chronic or acute; in
DYSENTERY or DIARRHGA, he has safe
and effectual remedies. For the treatment of
the consequences of self-abuse, such as noe
turnal emissions, nervousness timidity, head
ache, pains in the back and limbs, with gen.
eral weakness, loss of appetite, loss of memo
~, injury to the sight, restlessness, confusion
OF ideas, dislike for society, and a feeling of
WEAKNESS of life with the nervous system so
excitable that slight noises shock or starte
the patient, making his existence miserable
For the above maladies the Doctor will guar
antee cure or ask no compensation. He can
be consulted free of charge, and invites all to
call, as it will cost them nothing, and may be
much to their advantage. His offices are at
the Medical Institute. Sacramento street, be-

The indulgence in secret practice is the most
certain, though not always the most immedi-
ate and direct avenue to destruction. Physi-
clans of all ages have been most unanimously
of opinion that the loss of one ounce of semi
nal secretions, by unnatural aid or emissions,
wealens the system more than the abstraction
of forty ounces of blood One of the FIRST
writers on medical Jurisprudence states that
three-fourths of the insane owe their malady
to such abuse.
How important, then, it is for every one,
having the least cause to suspect any trouble
in that way, to attend to it Immediately ; even
one single occurrences 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 celebra-
ted DR.. j. G. Young, i'll cases of seminal weak
ness, impotency, sterility, nervous debility and
paralysis, (the last is the most dangerous, and
when it once occurs, incurable,) is not sur
passed by any Physician in the country. 1t is
the same as that followed by him for years,
under the guidance of the world-renouned
Ricord of Paris, and Acton of London. DR..
loung's office is at the corner of Montgomery

SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE SUSPENSION BRIDGE

queduct of the Jenny Lind Ditch Co., across
the Calaveras River, at Jenny Lind, Calaveras
county, broke down last Thursday, during the
great storm 1t was the greatest work of the
kind in California, and probably in the world,
being four hundred feet above the river bed,
and five hundred feet span. 1t will take one
month to repair it. This accident will cause
an entire suspension of work. Jenny Lind is
twenty-four miles from Stockton, situated in
the centre of flourishing mining and agricul-
tural county, and would afford occupation to
hundreds of miners, farmers ETC., but it is too
near home, not high enough up in the noun

BE GENTLEMEN AT HOME.-There are few
families, we imagine, anywhere, in which love
Is not abused as furnishing the license for i'm
politeness. A husband, father or brother will
speak harsh words to those he loves best, and
those who love him best, simply because the
security of lov, and family pride keeps him from
getting his head broken. 1t j. shame that n
man Will speak more impolitely, at times, to his
wife or sister than he would to any other female.
except low and vicious one. 1t il thus that
the honest affections of mans nature prove to
be weaker protection to a woman in the FAM
lily circle than the restraints Of society and that
a woman usually is indebted to the kindcst DO
liteuess Of life to those not belonging to her own
household.
Things ought not so to be. The man who.
because il will not be resented, infic:s his spleen
