PowER OF HoRsE's SCEST.-There is
one perception that horse possesses to
which but little attention has beer paid, and
that is the power Of scent. With some
horses it is acute, as with dog, and for the
benefit of those that have to travel at night.
such as physicians and others, this knowl.
edge is Invaluable. never knew it to fail,
and have ridden hundreds of miles on dark
nights; and 10 consideration of this power of
scent, this is my simple advice: Never check
year horse at night, but give him free
bead, and yea may rest assured that he will
never get off the road, and will carry you
eApedniously and safe. In regard to the

Seminal WeaknesS.-A sworn to Certificate
of most remarkable of Spermatorrhea
A desire to benefit humanity. and a feeling of
gratitude to DIR. W. X. D0HERTY, alone induces
me to make this statement. For many years had
been afflicted with that fearful disease known as
"Spermatorrhea," !" or seminal weakness, the result
of self abuse, but till 1855 experienced but little
trouble or nconv veuience in that year, however, 1
had seminal weakness to fearful extent, whicE
was soon followed by the most alarming symp-
toms, as weakness of the back and limbs, pain in
the head, dimness Of vision, nervousness and gen.
eral debility. My mind too was affected to such
an extent to seriously impair my memory, my
ideas were confused and spirits depressed. was
averse to society, had evil forebodings and self
distrust, and was entirely untitled for any of the
duties of life. From 1855 to the summer of 1858,
1 employed the very best medical talent l could
find, and spent several hundred dollars, but in no
instance obtained moro than temporary relief
had about concluded there was no relief for me in
this world, but reading DR.. Doherty's advertisement
I thought should call and see him, as he charged
nothing for consultation. had an interview with
the Doctor at his Office, in Sacramento street, and
his fee for treatment reasonable, deter
mined to try him, though l did not expect much
benefit from his treatment. On the 5th day of
December last, placed myself under his care in
one week found myself very much improved; and
now, after five weeks treatment, feel myself tho
roughly cured of all my troubles and in the enjoy
ment of the best of health. Hoping that my expc-
rience may be of benefit to others similarly afflicted

sasrRrcr TExPERAScE.-Young Watkins,
John Watkins, of Virginia, came North 20
; yis;t his maternal uncle, Colonel Joseph
i Martindale, very worthy man in the vicin-
;tv of Boston, who was at the head OF the
temneran party there, and never allowed
any of the intoxicating fluid to be kept on
the premises, or drank by any one IN his
. emnloy, John was a great favorite with the
/. nncle and all the family, from the parlor to
tho cook house. His visit had been antlci-
Z mated with.pleasure, and everybody was DIS.
posed TO make the most of him. After
breakfast. before the Colonel went into town,
as was his daily practice. he asked John into
the library, and said to him
I've are all temperance here; but keep
a little old brandy here for nv own use
take drop before you ride ?"
John took a thimblefull. and the Colonel
went off. No sooner was he gone out than
Mrs. Martindale, seeing John on the piazza
beckoned him to come in, and leading him
to her boudoir, remarked very good natur-
f..You see, John. we are all very strict
temperance folks. The Colonel never drinks
and lets no one else but l keep little for
. nv dyspepsia. Would you drink something
e before you go out ?"
20 So John took glass of old brandy, and
the Colonelrs wife joined him in the same.
John strolied out to the carriage house, and
thought he would take one of the ColonePs
saddle horses and run over the country
awhile As soou as the coachman saw him,
he toached his hat, and said lgEl
- Begging your pardon, Master John, but
may be you would like to taste drop OF
liquor this cool morning. The Colonel is SO
hard on us that we have to kapeit all snug ;
but / have some that can't be bate" "
-. So John drank with the coachman, and
gave him a quarter for his politeness but
by this time be was nearly drunk that he
had to postpone his ride till the next day
John said that the worst place for liquor he
was ever in was Colonel Martindale's and
he had to sho-ten bis visit and hasten home to
keep out of the way of temptation.
