CALIFoRN!A Ilops.-The editor of the
San Francisco Alta has had conversation
with an old English brewer, who speaks
highly of the California raised hops. Lie
says:
He feels confident that the dry season of
this country will bring the vine and flower
to perfection, and stales that at this time
the small supply grown brings very large
advance on the imported article. This pre-
ference should stimulate the culture of the
vine, which yields largely here, and the pro
duct of which can never be drug in the
market. An over supply would find pref

THE Mono COUNTRY The Visoha Delta
is informed by 6 gentleman recently arrived
from The Mono country, that mining in that
region affords, at the present time, but
gloomy prospect for the thousands who are
now on the road. There is population in
and around Mono, of some two thousand
persons. There is great scarcity Of water,
even for the use of the few who were in the
diggings last summer. The Marposa Ga
zette saws that two men arrived in Bear Val
lev from Mono last week via Yosemite.
Snow was found to be deep on the summit,
and getting soft, though they had no great
diff ulty in coming through. Some six or
seven hundred men are at Monovile and
vicinity. but as yet little has been done in
mining or prospecting owing to the snow
and frost. No difficulty was apprehended
by the people at Mono from the Indians
there They were all down on the lake, and
appeared to be peaceable and friendly.

From the s. F. Citizen.
ED~ The question is often asked Why is it
that DR.. J. q. Young is successful. while 9TH
er advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day?' The answer must be or should be, plain
lv apparent to all; it is. that he understands his
profession and attends to it; and us his practice
increases, his knowledge extends. SO close has
been his application to his unprecedented prac-
tice, that he is perfect master of his profession,
and can insure all relief from their trOubles and
while Others are daily sinking into the Oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be delivered,
his course is onward and upward, placing him at
the head of his arduous profession. So great
has been his increase of business that he has
been obliged to associate with himself two other
physicians. both of extended knowledge and prac-
tice. We would advise all afflicted to call upon
him in preference to any other Physician. We
are informed that he treats entirely on the vege
table System, and will always warrant perfect
cure. His office is at 2l0 Clay street, opposite
the upper corner Of the Plaza.
From the Times and Transcript.
There are thousands in this State suffering for
want of scientific medical treatment, and they
fear to apply to physician. because they have
been deceived. or their friends have been, by
some of the charlatans who infcst the communi-
ty, and who publish themselves as good physicians
professors, etc. To all such we unhestatingly
recommend DR.. j. c. Young. as physician in
whom all can place confidence. He is a man OF
eminent ana profound study. Il good surgeon. an
honorable man. and one who can sympathise with
persons in affection. His standing as physician
and gentleman are both guaranteed the first, by
his medical works. which are an honor to their
author. and the extensive and highly successful
course of practice with which he has been honor
ed since his advent in California; and the latter
by his numerous patrons and large circles of ac-
quaintances. We say to all afflicted, call on him.
as he will at once state the case to you, and you
may rely upon his Judgment. We like his prin-
ciple-nO cure no PAY.
From Professor Hitchcock
l have watched with more than ordinary zeal
the rapid progress of this young man in the in
tricate paths of our profession. Few, with the
accumulation of years upon their heads, have
approximated to anything like the stand he has
fairly earned. We're ! the father of o much
more numerous family than I now boast of,
should not hesitate for a moment, should the SER
vice of physician be required, to call on DR.. j.
q. Young, having full confidence in his capacity,
la very important adjunct to physcan] and
recommend my friends to do the same.
