June &c, 1866.
DR. IonN BuLL--Dear Sir: lhave recently
given your Worm Destroyer several trials,
and find il wonderfully eflicacious 1t has not
failed in a single instance to have the wishsd-
for effa3t | am doing pretty large country
practice and have daily use for some article Of
the kind am free to confess that know of
no remedy recommended by tho ablest authors
that is SO certain and speedy in its effects. On
the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme.
My Object in writing to you is TO find out upon
what terms | can get the medicine directly
from you If can get it upon easy terms
will use great deal of it. am aware that
the use Of such articles is contrary to the teach
ings and proctice of great majority Of the
regular lae Of M. DIS, but ! see no just cause
or good sense in dscarding a remedy which
we know to be efficient, simply because we
may be ignorant Of its combination. For
my part, shall make it rule to use all and
every means to alleviate suffering humanity
which may be able to commandment hesita-
ting because some one more ingenious than
myself may nave known its effects first, and
securad the sole right to secure that knowledge.
However am by no means an advocate or
supporter of the thousands of worthless nos
trums that food the country, that purport to
cure all manner of disease TO which human
flesh is heir. Please reply soon, and inform me
Of your best terms.
| am, sir, most respectfully,
JULIUS P. CLEMENT, NJ. D.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT FoRr YUMA
correspondent Of the San Diego Union,
writing from Fort Yuma, January 10th,
gives an account OF one of the most desper-
ate affrsys that has ever occurred 10 Cali.
forna
On the night OF the ls!h inst ant, mis-
celIansous crowd, comprising steamboat oap'
tains, miners, clerks, gamblers and rougbs,
were on tear" and were roaming the
streets all night, udulgiug in tho noisy
and riosous demonstrations usual on such
occasions. Toward daylight they visited
Mexican house where free fight ensued,
in which four men we're killed outright and
seven wounded. The scene in the morning
is described as sckeuing in the extreme.
The bodies Of the dead men lay as they fell;
while lying near were the wounded men,
some horribly gashed with bowie-knifs
wounds; some shot through the body. and
Others beaten SO as to be uurecognizable.
But few OF the crowd escaped unhurt.
The names of two of the men killed were
George Carr and Classy" Green. The 9th
er two were Mexioans, whose names were
rot ascsrtained. Green has long lived in
Arizona, and has been a soldier and sailor.

AUSTRALIAN QUARTZ YIELDING extract the
annexed from correspondence of the San Fran
cisco Bulletin
For instance ledges in Australia are proftably
worked which yield only an average OF from
81 rs to SO so per ton of 2,240 pounds; and
quartz yielding only fifty cents per ton is freqent-
ly sent to mills along with richer parcels Quartz
yielding less than $40 per ton cannot be worked in
California under the present imperfect system and,
consequently, is looked upon as being worth
less; but, from returns made by the mining sur
veyors and registrars in Australia, it appears
that the average yield of gold from quartz crush
cd during period of ten years from 1859 to
1s69-has been II dwts 1887 grs., or ten dollars
per ton, showing at once that the average yield
of their mines does not exceed the lowest limit
of the yield of our workable lodges.
