1t is our duty to record the fact that there
rous obstacles in the way of cordial union of the
republicans and Americans in the State Of New
York. The whole difficulty seems to have arisen
out of "the division of the spoils"-the Americans
claiming an equal share with the republicans There
has not yet been discovered any way of so dividing
member of Congress as to give the claimants each
one half but do not despair in the eagerness of
the factions, of accomplishing this feat Should the
opposition carry the next House Of Representatives
we have no doubt an arrangement might be made l,y
which the two sets shall serve equal number Of
days member is member, and SO that the
grand total is kept good, and opposition to the adj
mnistration is secured, take it the republicans
viii not higgle about the person who may occupy
seat We throw out this suggestion in the spirit of
compromise, and trust we shall receive due credit
for the discovery

A CARD FROM DIR. J. e. YOUNG'S Private
n Medical Ofce-To the Ahiicted-In this age Of pro-
progress when science is almost miraculous everything in
place looked upon not worth notice. In view
Of this fact Dr. Young, (corner OF Montgomery and Cali
forna streets stairs has concluded TO leave the beat
track hitherto pursued by most scientific physicians
(hat of waiting for the public to find you alone and
lsh to the world much may be- his knowledge of
the healing art to let those in need of assistance know
where they find relief without being imposed upon
In continuation Of this subject, DR.. Young would say
that for the past ten he has pursued the practice

sican is without reproach having at time
turer at the University of Pennsy venrea diseases
Upon these considerations Dr. Young has confidence in
introducing himself to the public knowing that they will
sustain well earned merit
The following are few the many testimonials which
appeared in the public journals within the last few
years:
from the Boston Medical Journal
Although opposed to the system of Advertising
that Dr. Young is of the most industrious and
Voares of medical science in the United
States.
From Professor Jacksonl

eSson and the extended opportunities by
him for the observation Of disease makes services
invaluable to those afflicted with the above complaints

HEROIC CONDUCT OF A JAMoR's WHR.-A cor
respondent of the New York Times, writing
from Watertown, N. Y, gives the following he
roic instance of womanly courage:
Early on Sunday morning, three prisoners
named Wilson Eddy, Missile ard Ward, by
feigning the sickness of one of their number,
got the iailor at this place, Mr.. Baker, in their
power, gagged aud bound him, and locked him
In cell. This done, they robbed him of his
money and the keys Of the prison, and were
calmly taking their leave, when they were
"brougbt all up standing" by behelding the
jailor's little wife pointing at them through
railing loaded revolver. and calmly inform
ing them that che would put bullet through
the FIRST man who attempted to come forward
A conversation something like this followed:
Prisoner-The devil you will You don't
know how to shoot it.
Mrs. Baker-Try 1t and see, il you like l
have been practising with this pistol for the
past few days. and promise you will kill the
first man who comes forward.
Prisoner-Well, if that's your game, we'll
be quits with you. Now take your choice,
young woman-either let us pass out in peace
or submit 10 have your husbands brains knock
cd out against the walls Of the Jail. Which do
you like best? Perhaps that wont be gay, nor
nothing, just to see him laying out there cold
and stiff, with bis brains laying around. Ha,
ha I'D pretty picture, ain'titH D-d pret.
ty wife you are amt ye, to get your husband
killed? Come now, what dye say? Let us
out and it'll be all right-won't ye? And the
speaker moved forward q step.
Mrs. Baker-The first man Who steps over that
sill dies.
And there that brave woman held those men
at bay for something like half an hour, until
help came, and they were driven into their
cells.
