DRFE. q. A. BOYER, having per
IL manentiy located himself in Bristol,
Tenn, offers hjs professional services to the
public for the treatment Of all diseases pc
culiar to Wcmen and Children. Having
made this branch of his profession speci-
alty for nearly twelve years, and the general
success attendingi it, has induced him to con-
fdently assure all who may place themselves
under his care. the most approved methods
of treatment now known to the profession.
lie intends no Disagreement IN saying that
no physician can arrive ut Distinction in the
maTiarement Of those diseases unless his
whole time and attention II given TO their
investigation and ;tudy. Many. ofthem be-
ing peculiar in their nature, delicate to IN
vestigate. and consequently difficult TO under
stand, makes it quite essential that the en-
tire thoughts of the practitioner should be
encrossed with the subject. Ladies living
at a distance who are afflicted with CHRONIC
AFFECTIONS will be received into his house,
and placed in the care Of his wife, who will
see to their general comfort, through good
nurses. regulated diet, &C., at a cheaper rate
than thew could be visited far in the country.
Should any however have friends in town
and prefer being with them, the same medi-
cal attention win be given them as if they
were in his own house. Married ladies can
confide in the good treatment of the Doctor
/ in all. cases, and under all circumstances.

The April receipts of the Raymond and
Ely mine amount to S142, 000.-[ Tele-
gram.
The bears of San Francisco may
growl. bite their paws, and tear each
other as much as they please; but when,
in giving vent to their ursine viciousness,
they get outside of the s.ock-broker me-
nagerie and disparage our mining dis.
trict by sending over, the wires, to all
points of the compass, false reports of its
productiveness, we must enter our solemn
protest. The Raymond and Ely is the
great mine of Southeastern Nevada-its
gross yield is received by the world at
and richness of the silver deposits of this
district and, while we always have and
always shall deprecate exaggeration, we
are equally determined to prevent, so far
rs We have the ability to do so, the circu-
latIon, by telegraph or otherwise, OF state
ments Understanding the yield of the
various mines in this district, which are
invariably put in motion in the bear
ing interest. The Raymond and Ely
mills were running last month, for the
most part, ON inferior or second and
third class ores, but the net proceeds for
the month OF April, Notwithstanding this,
aggregated TWO HUNDRED AND EIGHTY
-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. These are the
exact figures, obtained from official
sources of the Company, and bullion to
that amount, all run out in the month OF
April, will be shipped within the next
week. The desperate straits to which
the gamblers who have sold 'short" are
pushed to keep down the Raymond. and
Ely stock is sufficiently shown by the
fasehood embodied iu the quotation at
the head of this article.

southwest and passed out Of the county
little south Of Yaleton. The tornado
was about half mile in width. aud tore
into fragments every thing that came in
its course. Houses. barns, fences. trees
and human beings were caught up and
whirled through the air as mere TOYS,
and then dashed to the ground with such
violence as TO produce instant death to
the animals ana beings. The houses
and bl:ns were torn to fragments aud
scattered for miles around. The fields
are dotted with large timbers driven into
the ground at an angle OF 90 degrees, and
the cattle were actually driven head
foremost into the ground. One can
scarcely conceive of the devastation, or
realize the force of the tornado. Already
We have heard of thirteen farm houses
and many barns that were literally torn
to pieces, and many others badly dam
aged. A school-honse, sixty miles north
OF here, was torn to pieces, aud four
teen year-old daughter of Henry Rathuel
was carried about quarter of mile
from the schoo-house and dashed to
the ground, and crushed to jelly. Miss
Grieth, the teacher, and several scholars
hurt, some badly. Mrs. Henry Walters
was killed; Miss Gardner and the son of
Alex. Gibson lie at the point of death
from their Injuries. A gentleman who
was near the tornado when it passed,
reports that it was balloon shaped, with
the small end to the ground, and moved
at the rate of 20 miles an honr. 1t COM
menced its fearful work near Keoka,
where it demolished several residences.
We next hear Of i; abont 6 miles north
