pO We see by our exchanges that a
number q County Judges, have pub
lishcd their annual Reports. Where is

s0 The weather for the past week
has been very changeable. At times
quite cold, then rain, then warm sun
shine. Withall 1t has been quite unta.
vorable toward securing the crops; and
If the alienation Of showers and warm
sunshine continues much longer NC fear
It will result in greatly damaging cur
excellent wheat crop.
~ It will be seen that the Republi-
can County Committee have amended
their call for county convention to APP
point delegates to attend the Senatorial
convention at Irving, and that the ratio
Of representation is one delegate for ev-
cry ten votes cast for Elijah Sells at the
Oct. election Of 1858.
It is desirable that this call be respect
ed by the different townships and that
they send in delegates, not self'appoint
ed but with credentials, showing that
they have been properly appointed.
r@ Where are our Good Templar's
and temperance men generally? Arc
they all asleep? The fact is intoxicat-
ing liquors arc being sold and drank as
. beverage in our town. The evidences
are too frequent and truthful to be doubt
ed. Our town for the past year has been
model temperance town. Shall the re-
verse be said Of it for the coming year !?
What.say those who are interested in
q good state Of society?
"a About two weeks ago the Sta'c
of Iowa through Justice Geo. Fox Of
this place arraigncd one Madison Stalcy

Last Monday the great State was called
upon again to perform its duty and pre-
serve its dignity by the way OF arrains-

Mr.. Dagner was 6Lci the sum Of IF

Fer our part We do not know upon whom
the blows in the latter case could have
fallen with more grace, than upon the
worthy subject who received them !; yet
We are not in the least inclined to justi-
fy these pngilistic exhibitions. Unlike
some Of our citizens, who think the fines
were cxorbitant, we do not.
Let those who will thus demeaa them

TOCALIFORNIA CONSUMERS OF
BILLINGS HAMS.

T DESIRE to call particular attention of con-
i sumers in California, to the Label or Brand
upon my hams, which in all cases bears fac
smile Of my signature, and is, in every respect,
the same label I have used for many years past.
The unrivallei reputation which my hams have
in the California market renders me exceedingly
anxious that no hams packed by other persons
should be mistaken for the ,ceH-hnotcn and genu-
inc Horace Billings Hams, and my present oh.
ject is to ask consumers especially to distinguish
my Hams from other hams which learn have
this season been sent to California, upon which
the name of Billings have been placed, with a
label resembling mine in STYLE type. &c. &c My
Hams cured under my own personal super
vison and their admitted excellence is owing to
the great care used and to the peculiar preparn
ticn they undergo in curing, by which delcacy
of flavor, preservation Of the juices Of the meat
and freedom from undue sadness are secured.
confidently assure purchasers of my hams, in
California, that the cure Of 1859, will be
found of the choicest quality and flavor, and fully
equal in nll respects to any heretofore packed
by me for shat market HORACE BILLINGS,
Patentee, Beardstown, Illinois.
N. BAH barrels containing the Hams of this
seasons packing, in addition to the usual brand,
will bear the words in red print-"Cure of 1859,

of all external appearances of private disease,
suppose themselves cured, but after u few months
find they are troubled with various symptoms
which they never had before and which ely find
it impossible to rel eve. To all who are afflicted
in this way. DR.. Young would particularly rec
ommend trial of his skill. The symptoms with
which you are troubled are caused by taints in
the blood, which sooner or later will destroy
health and happiness No person who has ever
had an attack of any private complaint, should
fail to consult DR.. young, and take few bottles
of his invaluable purifying medicine. as they
can rest assured that their blood is in perfectly
pure and healthy condition. and that every trac"
of disease is removed from the system

IMPORTANT TO MINERS AND TRAVELLERS.

TUNHERE is no malady OF deeper Importance.
Il either in medical or moral point of view,
to which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections.
AS a medical man, it is the duty of every ply
sician to look at disease rs it affects health and
life, and his sole object should be to mitigate, as
far as in his power their bodily suffering. HUI
man nature s at best but fraii all are liable to
misfortune.
OF all ills that affect man, none are more ter
rible than those OF private nature. Dreadful as
it is in the person who contracts it, frightful as
are its ravages upon his constitution, ending fire.
quently in destruction and a loathsOme grave, it
becomes of still greater Importance when it is
transmitted to innocent offspring. Such being
the case, how important it becomes that every
one having the least reason to fear that they have
contracted the disease, should attend to it at
once by consulting some physician, whose rcspec-
liability and education enables him to warrant
safe, speedy, and permanent cure. In accordance
with this necessity, DR.. Young feels called upon
to state that by long study and extensive practice,
he has become perfect master of all those diseases
which come under the denomination OF vencreal,
and having paid more attention to that one
branch than any other Physician in tie Unit
States, he feels himself better qualified to treat
them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such rs Ulcers, Swell
ling Of the Groins. Ulcers in the Throat, Secon-
Diary Syphilis, Cutaneous Eruptions, alterations,
Tertiary Syphilis. Syphilis in Children, Mercurial
Syphilitie Affections, Gonorrhra. elect, Stric-
lures, False Passages. Inflammation of the Blad-
der and Pro trate Glands. Excavations. Tum RS,
Pustules ETC., are as familiar to him as the most
common things or daily observations.
The doctor effects cure in recent cases in a
few days. and finds no difficulty in curing those
Of long duration, without submitting the patient
to such treatment as will neglect his business,
whether in doors or without. The diet need not
be changed, except in cases of severe inhamma-
ton. There a.e in California patients (amount-
ing to over two thousand the past year.) that
could furnish proof Of this; bat these matters

CERTIFICATE.

Voluntary Certificate from Don Pedros Bar.
Being DESTROYS of benefting my fellow man as
much as possible, induces me to come before the
public and certify to the following facts: In Ju-
ly last. called upon DR.. j. C. Young for med-
cal advice. l was then aboring undera dizziness
in my head very tedious pain in my back and
hips, weakness in my legs and arms, loss of men,
DRY, sore eyes. papitatlon of the heart extreme
nervousness aad general debility; I was so bad
that was compelled to suspend business. After
careful examination of my case, DR.. Young
pronounced the case Durable. and l commenced
taking the medicine he prescribed. and the result
ia that mDnow perfectly we'll to all appearances,
although not so strong as could wish, yet I am
constantly gaining. and do us good days work
as any of the men in my locality. The reason
for publishing the above is to counteract that
widespread rascaly empricism which is stalking
with such destruction throughout this otherwise
blessed country.
REMEMBER-That Dr. J. Young's Office, for
the treatment of Private diseases, is at the cor
ner Of ontgomery and California streets.
REMEMBER-That DR.. Young wants no patient
but those fully capable Of approaching and dis
tinguishing the services of regular, thorough
bred physician, from the paltry, unlearned and
tri6ing quack.
REMEMBER-That DR.. Young is the only regu-
lar-bred physician advertising to diseases of
imprudence.
RrMEMBEE-Dr. Young's remedies and treat
ment are entirely unknown to all others, pre-
pared from life spent ia the hospitals of Europe.
and the first in this country from pure chemicals
imported
REMEMBER--That DR.. j. c. Young gives every
attention to diseases peculiar to females.

IL Cleveland, Ohio not long since. while
a number of deck hands were engaged in
placing large quantity Of nseed oil in the
hold Of the steamer Iron City, something
gave way, and hogshead fell fair and

was at work in the hold The height from
which the hogshead fell was some six feet,

parents would permit, rushed down to gath

hogshead standing upright and the frighteu-
ed and somewhat lacerated countenance Of
the negro protruding through the upper
head! His adamantine Uranium had driven
through both heads Of the logsheal with
out doing material injury, more than a few,
cuts and very bad ~scare." The hogshead
had to be knocked to pieces in order to
reease him. and he emerged the greasiest
