ORGANIC WEAKNESS, Impotency, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured and full Vigor Restored. This Distressing Affection which renders Life miserable nnd inn rriage Impossible is the penalty paid by the victims of improper Indulgences. Young persons are too apt to commit excesses from not being awaro of the dreadful conseqenccs that may ensue. Now, who thnt understands tho subject will pretend to deny that the power of procreation Is lost sooner by those falling into I improper habits than by the prudent 1 Besides neing deprived the pleasures ot liculthy offspring, the most serious and destructive symptoms to both body and mind arise.

A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS. Persons ruined lu health by unlearned preten ders who keep them trifling month after month, taking poisonous and injurious compounds, should apply Immediately. DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the lloynl Colleen of Surgeon?, Lon don, Graduated from one of the most eminent Colleges iu tho United States, and the greater part of whose ifo has been spent In the hospitals of London, Pris, Philadelphia aud elsewhere, bus effected some of the most astonishing cures that were ever known j many troubled with rliig lag iu the head aud cars when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed nt sudden sounds, bashf'uluess, with frequent blushing, nttended sometimes with derangement of uilud, were cured immediately. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have lujurrd themselves by improper indulgence and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them for cither busluebs, study, society or mar riage.

YOUNG MEN Who have Injured themselves by a certain prac tice indulged in when alone, a habit frequently learned from evil companions, or at school, the clients of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, mid If not cured, renders marriage impos sible, ami destroys both mind and body, should apply Immediately. What n pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the darling of his parents, should be snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature ami indulging in a certain secret habit. Such persons mi st, before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a sound mind nnd body are the most ueccssury requisites to promote connubinl happi ness. Indeed without these, the Journey through life becomes u weary pilgrimage tho prpspect hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly rollcctlon, that the buppiocsa of another becomes bliuhtcd with our own. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misituided and imprudent votary of pleasure tluds that he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, It too often happens that an ill-timed sense of sbninc, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to thoso who, from education and respectubliity, can alone befriend liiin, delaying till t lie constitutional symptoms ot this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoctural pains lu the head aud limbs, aimncss ul sight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches ou the head, lace aud extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the boues of the nose fall in, und the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a period to his dreadful sintering, by sending him to " thut Undiscovered Country from whence no traveller returns." It Is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through falling Into the bauds or Ignorant or unskllllul PRE TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi son, Mercury, Ac., destroy the constitution, and incapable of curing, keep tho uubappv sullorer month after month taking their noxious or in jurious compounds, nnd Instead of being restored to a renewal ot Lite Igor and Happiness, in des pair leave him with ruined llculth to sigh over ids L'allimr disappointment. To such, therefore, Dr. Johnston pledges him self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, and from bis extensive practice aud observations in the great Hospitals of Eurojie, and the first in this country, viss England, France, Philadelphia aud elsewhere, is enabled to oiler the most cer tain, speedy and ctfectual remedy in the world lor all diseases ot imprudence. 1W.

The cclebraUou of tho one liundrcdt) anniversary of tho existence of Sunbury, on Thursday of Inst week, marks a very important era in the history of the town.

Greenough, Esq., inepatatioiis were at once &et on loot oy the Jiorough Council, and afterwards by a citieeu com mittee of fifteen to procrly commemorate the event. Active measures were employ ed, nnd general earnestness, exhibited by tho committees, brought out the grand suc cess which crowned their efforts on the 4lh. The initial ceremonies of the day wero inaugurated by tho ringing of bells and loud whistling of locomotives, and at the shops above and below town, at mid night. This was followed by the firing of cnuuon, me crashing of windows, nim tlio shooting of lire crackers. The dawn of tlay revealed a warm sun, and the arrival of our regular fourteen daily trains, to gether with a number of cxeursiou trains, brought to our midst crowds of people and visititig organizations, to p.micinaic in the work of the day. Our struts and d wellinns were neatly displayed with evergreeus, por traits of the older citizens and fathers of the revolution, and the stars aud stripes, while a number of bands and a drum corps from llarrisburg enlivened the scene with cheering music.

It'was tea red tho crowd would be so great that wo could not accommodate or feed them, but largo preparations Were made nnd everybody seemed to be provided for. We did not hear of a siticlo man who did not get enough to eat. If there were any such, it was not tho fault of our people, for plenty was provided and offered. Among the most hospitable of our citizeus was lien. Clement," who opened his house to diuner 150 military and Conclaves. Many others did likewise ; among them Hon. J. H. Packer, lion.' Alex.

This is a great day because it is tho reeurring.anni vcrsary of our National Independence ns well as tho one hundredth anniversary of our existence as a Horough. We nre here assembled to celebrate the centennial of our now wido nwako town. We will not all likely be present at the next huudreth anniversary. It is likely that I will bo the only one present at that coming celebration 1 I was not hero nt the last centennial. I think my wifo was sick or I was cutting grass.

First, to celebrate tho centennial anniver sary of the Horohgh of Sunbury. Second, to celebrate tho anniversary of our Na tional Independence, nnd Third, to select a spot in tho public square, on which to erect n monument to the memory of the brave men who fell in tho great rebellion. He referred to tho probable condition of the place on which Sunbury is located, at the timo of its location 100 years ngo, by whom tho survey was made, the reason why its growth was not more rapid ; its population in 1815, tho number of brick and other buildings nt that time, and its present population and improvements, Tn speaking of tho second object, ho re ferred to the oppressive system of taxation, adopted by the Rritish Parliameut in ref erence to tho colonies ; tho total disregard by the King aud Parliament to the appeals j made by the colonies for redress, aud the ' determination of the colonics to be free, j The adoption of the Declaration of Iudo- pendeiice ; the war and its glorious ter-! min.-ition ; our growth, prosperity, happy j form of government, influence of our He- j publican principles, in other nations, aud ! how our government could be perpetuated. ! in reiercnco lo me third object, liespoko nf thr nlvmvtnl t- ,iwl .liit. l;..I.,.. tn endorsing monuments to the memory of the men who fell in battle during the late rebellion ; of tho loss of valuable life : of could now emphatically sing, "This is the land of the free nnd home of the brave."

Since my boyhood dus, and since I left , yV til 1 1 11 I Itf 1111 I W I HIT, Ill (l 1 1 "I ' the ohl familiar faces have disappeared. I i take pleasure iu visiting your town at least 1 once 111 a year, and very frequently much ofteuer. 1 remember well the time when ! you did not have any railroads, and long j before the time when "the canal was dug on j the other side of the river. At that time I j suggested that tho canal should go on tho eastern side of the Susquehanna, because ' of the coal which filled these mountains, j but the projector of that cuterpri&ii hooted I at the idea and said the canal was iuteud- , etl to bo used iu transporting the produce j of tho rich farms beyond the western sido ! of the river, nud so'it went there. 1 refer j with pleasure to the fact that I presided at ! the first railroad meeting helJ in your old j Court House to project the first railroad to J your town. The untold wealth uuderly- ; ing the hills which surround you, as yet ! but little improved and delved, win grattu- erected across this river ; aud some of you may live to see tho day when a large and growing town will be built over on the Hlue Hill. These may seem like idlo tiro tihecies. but 1 havo been accustomed to look forward to the future, and you may i live to see more than this fully realized, j When I left your midst, I thought for j many years 1 would come back here nnd ; mako this my home nnd my final resting I place, but that win not oe so now. 1 re member how 1 went forth a poor boy, but I did not go without friends. Everybody in this county seemed friendly towards me, and took mo kindly by the hand. And let me say hero that kind words given to a boy are worth tons of money in after life. In' later years the friendliness of the people of your county has been warmly extended, by both llepublicans and liemocrats. nnd 1 have felt your generous words nnd nets of approval as you havo said, go ahead, Simon. And so I say to you all, go ahead . nud God bless you. After the above remarks had been con cluded. Judge Jordan aud Gen. Cameron went b-tek to tho sttmd. A. N. Hrice, Esq..
