AN INDIAN ApvENTuRE.-The following Incl
dent was narrated to Lieutenant Beckwith. of
the Pacific Railroad Expedition party, by Del
aware Indian guide, as they were traversing a
mountain pass which was marked by numerous
gulies and raYines:
lie was traversing this pass at midnight ac-
companied by his squaw only, both mounted upon
the same horse, and the night so dark that he
could neither see the outlines Of the hills nor the
ground at his horses feet. when he heard a sound
(Which he imitatod) so slight as to be scarcely
percept,ble to an indian ear Of an arrow carried
in the hand striking once only with a slight tick
against bow. Stopping he could hear nothing
but instantly dismounted-his squaW leaning
down upon the horse, that she might by no posi-
blty be seen-and placed his ear TO the ground
when he heard the same sound repeated. but a
few feet distant. and was therefore satisfied that
however imminent the danger, he had not been
seen or heard. for ne Indian would make such a
noise at night in approaching his foe, he there
fore instantly arose and took his horse by the
bride close to his mouth. to lessen the chances
Of his moving or whinnying, and one hundred
and seventy Of his doadiiest enemies, the Sioux,
on a war-party, filed past him within arm S
reach, while he remained unobsarvcd.

CERTIFICATE.

The undersigned. dcsirous of acquaintng those
who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly
afflicted where permanent relief Of their suffer
ings may be obtained. he feels it his duty to thus
publicly express his sincere gratitude to Dr. l.. j.
Czapkay, for the permanent recovery of his
health, Borne down by the distressing symptoms
incident to the vicious practices Of uncomfortable
passion in youth, depressed in body and mind,
unable to perform even the most triiing duty inn
posed upon the daily ayocations Of life, sought
the advice many physicians, who at first regard
ed my disease as Of triling Importance, but, alas
after few weeks and in several instances
months, Of their treatment. ] found. to my unut-
terable horror that instead ofreief the symptoms
became more alarming in their torture and being
finally told by one that the disease, being princi-
pally confined to the BRAIN medicines would be Of
little consequence. despared of ever reganine
my health, strength and energy and as a last
resort and without faint hope, called upon Dr..
Czapkay. who. after examining my case pre-
sCribcd some medicine which almost instantly re-
loycd me of the dull pain and dizziness in my
head. Encouraged by this result, ! resolved to
place myself Immediately under his care and by
a strict obedience to his directions and advice.
my head became clear, my ideas collected, the
constant pain in my back and groins. the weak
ness OF my limbs the nervous reaction of my
whole system on the slightostalarm or excitement,
the misanthrOpy and evil forboding, the selfdis-
trust and want Of confidence in others, the inca
pability to study and want of resolution, the
trightlul exciting. and at times peasurable
dreams at night followed hy involuntary dis
charges, have all disappeared and. in fact. in two
months after having consulted the Doctor | felt
as if inspired by new life--that which, but a
short time ago, contemplated to end by my own
hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from fall
ing into the snares of incompetent quacls deem
il my duty to offer this testimony to the merit
and skill of Dr. Czapkay, and recommend him to
all who may stand in need Of medical advice, be-
ing assured by my own experience that, once un-
der his care, radical and permanent cure will
be effected. B f. FILLMORE.
