A HINT TO GARDENEKs.-As our houses
and gardens are always more or less infest-
ed with vermin, it is satisfactory TO know
that henznin, an article become sufficiently
well known as "a detergent, is no less etiica-
cious AS AN agent in insecticiie. One or
two drops are sufficient to asphyxia'e the
most ledoubtabe insect pest, be it beetle
cockchaf-r, spider bug, caterpillar or other
creeping thing. Even rats and mice will
speedily decamp from any place sprinkled
with a few drops Of the potent benzon.
A singular fact connected with this appca
ton of henzoin is, that the bodies Of insects
killed by it become SO rigid that their wings,
legs, etc, will break rather than bend, if
touched Next day, however, when the
benzon has evaporated, s"pleness is restored.

gas-The question is often askcd--"Why is it
that Dr. J. G. Young is so successful. while other
advertising Physicians are failing from day to
day. The answer must be or should be, plainly
apparent 10 all; it is, that he understands his
profession, and attends to it; and 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 trouble and
while others are daily sinking into the oblivion
from which they were never fitted to be edeivcred.
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 physi-
clans. both Of extended knowledge and practice
We would advise all afflicted to call upon him in
preference to any ether Physician. We are in
formed that he treats entirely on the vegetable
system and will always warrant a perfect cure

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 charatans who inest the community
and who publish themselves as good physicians
professors, etc. To all such we unhesitatingly
recommend DR.. j. G. Young. as Il physician in
whom all can place confidence. He is a man of
eminent and profound study. good surgeon. an
honorable man. and one who can sympathise with
persons in affliction. His standing as physi:ia
and gentleman are both guaranteed the first. by
his medical works, which are an honor to their
anthor. and the extensive and highly uccessful
course Of practice with which he has been honor
ed since his advent in California;: and the latter

quaintances We say 10 all afflicted, call on him.

DEATH IN THE POT.

Many people are not without suspicious that
Presidents Harrison and Taylor were both
poisoned, and that, but for some deadly sub
stance put into their food. both might still
have been in the land of the living. Such
people are now feeling some solctude in be-
half of the President Elect They feel that
il is matter Of much Importance to the coun-
try that he be careful in the selection Of his
cooks and that Mrs. Lincoln, so Ear as is con-
sstent with the ceremonial laburs that will
be imposed upon her, devote portion Of eve
ry day to that scrutiny into the culinary de-
partment Of the White House, which may
save her husband from the fate of Harrison
and Taylor. Let her see TO il that there is
no " death in the pot"
The general belief has been that the good
Harrison was brought 20 bis end by unaccus-
toned and ponderous duties, and that Gen.
Taylor died Of chronic illness OF the same or
similar type as that Of which President Polk
died but who knows but they may have been
some Brinvilliers in the kitchen of each, who
infused a subtle and effective poison, by which
those Presidents were dispatched aud Demo-
craoy encouraged to new hopes by their "tak-
ing off The subject is worthy of consider
alton for if men without personal enemies
were poisoned, and at period before there
existed any of the present bitterness how
much greater the reason now for entertaining
icverish apprehension in regard TO the life Of
an incumbent who comes in against the vio-
lent opposition OF the South, and the hostii-
ty Of Northern Democracy beside.
We mention these opprehensions, now en-
tertained by some people, more to create a
smile than to awaken any particular appre-
hension in behalf of the President elect
Whatever forcbodings are entertained in his
behalf can more properly arise because Of the
rush that viii be made upon him for the favors
he can dispense, rather than for the poison
he may eat or imbibe. But he had the ap-
pearance, when in Concord last March, of be-
ing able to encounter labor and yexation. and
if he be not permitted to live out his term,
we have the right man upon whom to fall back.
We think Mr. Lincoln will die neither by
poison nor the opportunities of otfice-seekers
