That petri1ed Tree.

an exploring party near Black Rock, Mr..
Stevens, a member of the party, in CON-
munication published in the Marysvie
Democrat, gives fuller description Of that
"monster Of a former age" He says:
Our party of thirty five men encamped at
the lower end of what we termed the Little
Canon, about three miles from which we
found this famous petritication, and which
is truly great curiosity. At short dis

two well defued forks to what was, when
standing, an altitude Of six hundred and six

when stepping off his distance to shoot at a

the tree is divided into two parts, or forks,

forks having on its surface at the time the

Es- The question is often asked-"Why is it
that DR.. J. q. Young is successful. while 9TH
or advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day." The answer must be or should be, plain
ly apparent to all; it is, that he understands his
profession. and attends to it; and as 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 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 vcge-
table System, and will always warrant perfect
cure. His Office is at 21O Clay street, opposite
the upper corner of the Plaza.

nal in regard to the al eundem degree granted
by the Philadelphia College of Medicine to DR..
l.. J. Czapkay. When the application for the
degree was made to the Faculty, it was accom-
panied by affiavits aud testimonials to the effect
that DR.. Czapkay was regular graduate N. d. of
the University of Pesth, had served as Surgeon
in the Hungarian Army. and was regular prac-
titioner of medicine On the strength OF these
the degree was granted. The ad eundem degree.
as its name implies, is conferred on graduates
only. and gives us new privileges. Had there
been the slightest suspicion of irregularity, the
application would have been refused. By insert
ing this in your paper you will do an act of jus

IMPORTANT TO MINERS AND TRAVELLERS.
VUNHERE 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 medical man, it is the duty OF every ply
sciun to look at disease rs it affects health ana
life and his sole object should be to mitigate, as
fur as in his power their bodily suffering HUI
man ature IS at best but frail; all are liable to
misfortune.
OF all ills that affect man, none are more ter
rible than those of private nature. Dreadfula MS
it is in the person who contracts it, frightful as
are its ravages upon his constitution, ending ire
quently in destruction and u loathsome grave, 1t
becomes Of still greater Importance when 1t Is
transmitted to innocent offspring Such being
the case how important it becomes that every
one having the least reason to fear that they nave
contracted the disease, should attend to it at
once by consulting some physician, whose respec-
liability and education enables him to warrant
safe speedy, and permanent cure. In accordance
with this nee cessity DR.. Young feels called upon
to state that by long study ana extensive practce,
he has become perfect master OF all those diseases
which come under the denomination of venereal,
and having paid more attention to that one
branch than any other Physician in the Unit
States, he feels himself better qualified to treat
