LzEToyIA, Ohio, December -, 1870.
De. J. W. SYKEs-Dear Sir: 1 feel il my duty
to make a lust acknowledgment TO You Of the ben
eft 1 received of your treatment from April to
September, 1859. When l resorted to you L had
but little hope of n recovery, as 1 had kemOrrhage
OF the lungs almost daily during twenty-five
months previous, together with an affection Of the
heart, so that 1 could not lie on my LEFT side dur
ing a period Of fifteen years. The cough, pain,
and constant oppression Of the breast made life q
burden. After taking your treatment for three
months, I felt q decided improvement; the hemOr-
rhage Of the lungs hadceased altogether; the OPP
preston Of the breast, cough, &c, were much bet
ter, with q decided Improvement Of my general
health; so hat 1 commenced the second course Of
three months treatmclL with more hope. After
continuing the treatment altogether hve mOnths)
1 felt myself entirely well, could lie on either side
and breathe freely. Yet 1 could hardly believe
the cure a permanent one. But now, Is months
have passed, and no recurrence Of hemOrrhages,
or cough. and l have regaincd my former weight
50 that now feel thankful to God and 70 you for
invaluable treatmen in my ease, and shall
not cease to recommend others similarly afflicted
to your treltment.
Yours respectfully.

THERE is trouble among those gen.
tlemen who manage or mismanage
the State University. GILMAN is ac-
credited with intriguing for the dis
missal of Professor CARR. We do not
assume to judge of the merits of those
two professors. They are no doubt
good men in their way. But the State
could perhaps do without both of
them. The State University has cost
the people q vast sum of money, and
they have as yet received but slight
return for it. The management of the
University has not been entirely sat-
isfactory, and few changes could not
make things worse, while they might
show decided improvement. Bro.
GILMAN should have a care, lest while
he is attempting to crush Prof. CARR
he may be crushed himself. CARR is
the better man of the two, and he GER
tainly has more generally the conf
dence of the people of California.

Not a Prophet.

The Kern County Courier lays it
down as fact that the Los An
geles and Independence railroad will
never be built. The exact amount
and precise weight of evidence on
which this prophecy is based we can
not of course determine, but we are
sure that it is not of that ponder0us
character that will carry dismay and
despair to the people of Los Angeles
and Independence. The opinion of
the Courier on this matter is worth
only what is usually accorded to q
person who is addicted to the habit OF
letting his prejudice or preference
cloud and often obscure his judgment.
The people of Kern county would like
very much to turn the bullion trade
OF the Inyo county mines, into the
head Of the San Joaquin Valley. 1t
is a natural desire and we have moth
Ing to say against it, nor is the Courier
to be condemned for expressing con-
viction that it hopes will be realized.
BIT when it makes the unqualified
assertion that the Los Angeles and
Independence railroad will never be
built, it is placing itself in a position
which may lead to it's conviction and
cremation as witch or false
prophet. We are confident the road
will be built. There is no argument
to be adduced in favor of branch
road from the Southern Pacific to the
Cerro Gordo mines. The enormous
freight which the long distance by
rail would impose on the shipper
would be but a slight improvement on
the present wagon transportation.
The road which will most benefit the
country is the one that reaches the sea
by the most practicable route, and the
surveys already made demonstrate
that the Cajon Pass route is the most
practical for the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence road. 1t is by that route that
a road will pay, and it is by that route
the road will be built.

Petroleum.

CHRIS. LEANING, Recorder in the
San Fernando oil mining district,
came to the city yesterday and brings
the gratifying information that the
well boring company have struck oil
of fine quality at depth of eighty
feet. They pump three or four bar
rels day out of the well, which is of
course thrown away, as the oil will be
mixed with sand, ETC., so long as the
drill continues to work. The opera
tives are confident they will have over
a hundred barrels day in very short
time, as every indication is favorable.
