How many young persons do we daily behold,

mind and body.
You who have brought this alicton upon
yourselves. why embrace the secret to your
hearts and vainly attempt to cure yourselves,
instead of making immediate application to n
skllfull physician, who in short time, would
restore you to perfect health and save you from
exposure which the tai consequences render 1t
envitable.

We would cali on the people to redouble

about two hundred In Parp, and bv their

many. They do not visit, however, and il

Hill correspondent Of the Msrysville Ap-

been created in that vicinity by the discov-
cry Of rich cinnabar ore in some n the bills

looking over that re zion in search Of ore,
Of which be has found some good "indica-
tions." Several Of the prominent miners in
the vicinity Of Oregon Hill are said to have
taken stock in the new ciunabar lead, which
is thought to be extensive. and the discov.
erer starts for San Francisco forthwith to
