UNpERDRAISIsG. - 1t is time that under
draining was thought of more, talked Of
more, and practised more than it is. The
value of understanding is almost unlimited.
A drain is not like load of manure once
placed in the earth it will last for ages,
while manure must be applied every year
or two; and besides that. manure is not half
so valuable on undrained as it would be
on properly drained land. And, besides
getting more value for your manure when
your land is drained. you save half your
labor, because YOU can produce just the
same amount Of grain on half the number Of
acres.
The proper way Of constructing drain
on land descending little, is to dig ditch
eighteen inches wide, and about two feet
deep; then place stones four, five or six
inches square against each side ON the bottom
of the ditch. Then lay fiat stones acros.
the top Of these then throw small stones on
the top Of the fiat ones then haul in your
dirt. and your drain is completed. II YOU
have no flat stones, round stones will answer
placed in the same way. Genessee Farmer.

MURPHY's SEMI-WEEKLY NEws.-We are
sorry to chronicle the demise of our valuable
contemporary, the Murphy's Nescs During its
brief career, it gave evidence of true indepen-
dence and ability. Many ofits leading articles
were written with care, and with a view to
establish correct tone in newspaper journal
ism. Especially did it exert an influence to
better the moral condition of California soci-
ETY., and to correct the evils under which Jus
tees Courts have necessarily to operate, and
to effect different process in Jury Duty,
whereby the mass of the Grand and Petit
Juries might be selected from the best class of
citizens. In the last issue we also note an
able article on Independent Papers," which
compliments the Marysville Meas, and seems
to think interest governs all others. We COPY
the following items from the last edition, No.
8, of the NeaCs:
To THE CITIZENS OF MURpHY's-We are
sorry to announce that this is the last number
of this paper which the present publisher will
issue We have received no encouragement
whatever to continue its publication. The

been handed into US is tarenty-si1, The amount

We had determined to struggle on a little
longer, until we could get large press and
publish a weekly paper of some size, but Mr.
Yoacham having received hattering offers else
where, he has in justice to himself, concluded
on disseminating the paper.
A CARD.-If any parties in Murphys should
be desirous of continuing paper in this town
the undersigned would be pleased to cooper.
ate with them in the attempt There is suffi.
cient material in this Office to publish good

MURDER.-On Saturday night last, (l4tt

name of Francisco Yanez, was stabbed in the
left breast by another name Jesus Yane7

he died. Jesus made his escape. Domingo
Sierpa, an associate of Jesus, was arrested on
the charge of being accessory to the crime
but was discharged there being not sufficient
evidence to detain him.
Yanez stated before he died that Jesus stab

or quarrel whatever with him.

DR.. YOUNG addresses those who have in
jured themselves BY private and improper in
dnlgences in that secret and solitary habit
which ruins the body and mind, uniting them
for eitner business or society. The following
are some of the sad and melancholy effects
produced by early habits of youth, viz: weak
ness Of the back and limbs, pain in the head
dimness of sight, loss of muscular power. pal
pitation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness,
irritability, arrangement of the digestive func-
tions, general debility, symptoms of eonsump-
tion, &c.
MENTALLY-The fearful effects upon the
mind are more to be dreaded. Loss of MEM
ory, confusion of ideas, depression of spirits,
evil forbodings, aversion to society, self-ds-
trust, 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 on DR..
Young, and be at once restored to perfect
health. Let no false dclicacy prevent you, but

dreadful and awful consequences of this terri.

Important TO Miners. Travellers. &c..

There is no malady of deeper importance,
either in 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 effects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate. as far as lies in his power, the bodily
suffering. Human nature at best is bnt 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 ravages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and a
loathsome grave it becomes of still greater inn
portance when it is transmitted to innocent
offspring. Such being the case, how necessary
1t becomes that every one having the least
reason to fear that they have contracted the
disease, should attend to it at once, by consult
ing some physician whose responsibility and
education enables him to warrant a safe, speedy
and permanent cure. In accordance with this
necessity, DR.. YOUNG feels called upon to
state that by long study and extensive prac-
tice, he has become perfect master of all those
diseases which come under the denomination
OF venereal, and having paid more attention to
that branch than any other physician in the
United States, he feels himself better qualified
