MARRIAGE. Married Persons or Young Men contemplating mnrriHge, nwnre of Physical Weakness, (Loss of Procrcntlv Power Impotency), Nervous Ex citability, Palpitation, Organic Weakness, Ner vous Debility, or any other Disqualification, speedily relieved. He who places himself under the care of Dr. J. may religiously confide lu his honor ns a gentle man, and confidently rely unon his skill as a Pliv slciun. ORGANIC WEAKNESS, Impotency, Loss of Power, immediately Cured and full Vigor Restored. This Distressing Affection which renders Life miserable nnd mnrrlngc Impossible Is the penalty paid by the victims of improper indulgences. Young pcrsonsare too apt to commit excesses from not being nwnre of the dreadful consciences thnt may ensue. Now, who that understands the subject will pretend to deny that the power of procreation is lost sooner by those falling Into improper habits thnn by tho prudent t Besides being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring, the most serious and destructive symptoms to both body and mind arise. The system becomes de ranged, the Physical and Mental Functions Weakened, Loss of Proereative Power, Nervous Irritability, Dyspepsia, Palpitation of the Heart, Indigestion, Constitutional Debility, a Wasting of the Frame, Cough, Consumption, Decay niul Death. A CURE WARRANTED IN TWO DAYS. Persons ruined In health by nuleamcd preten ders who keep them trifling month after month, taking poisonous and injurious compounds, should apply immediately. DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don, Graduated from one of the most eminent Colleges in the United States, nnd the greater part of whose ife has been spent in the hospitals of London, Prls, Philadelphia and elsewhere, 1ms rflected some of the most astonishing cures that were ever known j many troubled with ring ing in the head and ears when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, bushfuluess, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes w ith derangement of mind, were cured immediately. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresres all those who have Injurrd themselves by Improper indulgence and soiitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them for cither business, study, society or mar rln gc. These arc some of tbe end und melancholy effects produced by early habits of youth, viz : Weakness of the Back aud Limbs, Pains in the BHcknnd Head, Dimucss of Sight, Loss of Mus cular Pswer, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspopsy, Nervous Irritability, Derangement of Digestive Functions, General Debility, Symptoms of Con sumption, Ac. Mentally The fearful effects on the mind are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con fusion of ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings, Aversion to Society, Ccif-DiMrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, &c, are some of the evils produced. TuorsANUS of persons of ail ages can now judge what is the cause of their declining health, losing their vigor, becoming, weak, pale, nervous und emaciated, having a singular appearance about the eyes, cough aud symptoms of consump tion. 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, tho cllecls of which are nightly felt, even when asleep, and If not cured, renders marriage impos sible, and destroys both mind and body, should apply immediately. Whut a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the darling of his parents, should he snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequence of deviating from the path of nature and indulging in a certain secret habit. Such persons must, before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a souud mind aud bo.ly are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the journey through life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect hourly darkens to the view; the mind becomes shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly reflection, that the huppiii'.'ss of another becomes blighted with our own. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided aud imprudent votary of pleasure finds that he has Imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often happens that uu ill-timed seuse of shame, or dread of discovery, deters Mm front applying to those who, froin education and respectability, can alone befriend hi in, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoctural pains lu the head aud limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shiu bones and urius, blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till nt lust the Imliite of the mouth or tho bones of the nose fill n, and the victim of this uwfnl disease lieco iics a horrid object of commiseration, till death put, a period to bis dreadful suticriug, by sending him to " thnt Undiscovered Country from whcuc) uo traveller returns." It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE victims to this terrible disease, through falling Into the bauds of Ignoruiil or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi son, Mercury, Sc., destroy the e;u titution, and iueupuble of curing, keep the unl.uppv sufferer mouth after mouth taking then anxious or In jurious coiiiHuuds, and instead of being restored to a renewal of Lite Vigor and llappinws, hi des pair leuve blin with ruined Health to sigh over his galling disupoiiilmeiit. To such, therefore, Dr. Johnstom pledges him self to preserve the most luviohshie beerecy, und from his extensive practice aud observations In the great Hospitals of Eurojie, and the first lu this country, viz : England, France, Philadelphia aud elsewhere, Is enabled to offer the most cer tain, speedy aud effectual remedy lu the world for all diseases of Imprudence.

"William Henry Seward vns born iu Flo rida, OmnRO county, N. Y., May ltitli, 1S01. His father, Samuel S. Seward, wns a physician, nnd combined with his profes sion a large nieruitntilc business, in which ho amassed a fortune. William Henry re ceived n liberal education, prt.parin? Tor college nt an acatlamy at Goshen, New York, nnd entering upon the sophomore elites at Union College at the figo 0' lil teiti, being graduated iu 181'J. Duritur his sen ior yeur in college lie taught school for some six mouths in Georgia, and while there his impression of slavery wero the germ of his latter iutenso. hostility to tlmt institution. After taking his degree he studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1822, and removed to Auburn to form a law partnership with Judi;e Miller, whoso youngest daughter, Francis, he married in 1821. In the same year lie took his Hi st step in political life by preparing an ad dress lor the Republican Convention de clining against the "Albany regency," as the Democratic leaders wero then called. llo lirst took ground against slavery in an oration at Syracuse iu 1825, taking very advanced steps tor those days, though nearly the same as he took iu later years when the anti-slavery contest became bit ter, lu 1828 ho was a prominent loader among tho young men. as a supporter of Johu tiniticy Adatus for re-election, nnd soon atlerward decliued a nomination fur Congress, but two years later, as an Auti Masou, he accepted a nomination for Mate Senator, and was elected by 2,U(J0 majori ty, completely reversing a large nd verse majority of the preceding year, lu the Senate he distinguished himself as an advo cate of reform in the Stale educational sys tem und ns the melioiation of prison disei p i !. lie made a rapid tour iu En rope in ISoM aud published in the Albany Evening Journal the results of his observation, lie was defeated as Whig candidate for Gov ernor iu 1834, although running ahead of his ticket, but in a hotly contested election in iH:iS was elected by ii,U(.MJ majority over his former competitor, W. I... Marcy. As Governor his policy was marked by great wisdom at a period of universal financial and political complexity, lie was espe cially nu advocate of a system of free schools and though his policy wns vehe mently condemned by his political oppo nents, it was in l iter years adopted. His gubernatorial career "was further distin guished by the laving of the foundation fur reform in the 2sew York Statu courts which were divested of the dreary techni calities of English law, by the geological survey of the Stale, the establishment of a general banking system, the abolition of imprisonment for debt and, above all, by the "Virginia Controversy" which arose between Governor Seward and tho Gover nor of Virginia in relation to slavery aud the giving up of criminals charged with ab ducting slaves, Governor Seward took the "higher law" ground, viz : that no local or State legislation could overcome laws based ou the higher standards of humau jus' ice. t In 1842, Mr. St: ward having served ns Governor with singular honor for two terms, declining it reuomitialioti and devot ed himself to the law, acquiring a lucrative practice particularly in patent cases. His noble, disposition t rompied him oftoti not only to oiler his services gratuitously iu cases of unjust accusations, but also to fur nish pecuniary means for defense, especial ly in cases involving fugitive slaves, lu 1S11 lie supported with energy Henry ("ay for President, as also Gen. Taylor iu IS IS. Willi the election of the latter nnd the pre pondorauee) of the Whig party iu tho New York legislature, Mr. Seward was elected U. S. Senator in place of General Dix, by a voti of 121 to 'M for all others. lu Con gress he immediately became the leader of the administration parly, jind both in de bale and iu his writings ho persistetity op posed tho nu'grtssiens of the slave-holders. In a speech on the admission of California iu lH.iO hu first used the phrase "higher law," which aroused much excited com ment InCongtess and the public press. His speeches in Congress nnd his views on tho annexation ot Cuba, tho Tarilf. the Drcd Scott decision, the I'acilic railroad, the as sault on Senator Sumner, and other impor tant questions, were always theme of gen eral discussion, Iu 18u0 the Whig party adopted a plat form favoring tho slavery compromise ol L-oU and nominated General Scott whom, as a personal friend Senator Seward en dorsed, without, however, approving the ji atform. From 18."0 to lHuO his labors tu opposition to slavery weie steady and consistent and on a free soil platform he supported with great zeal. Col. Fremont in lS.jli. In an election speech nt Hochester iu 1S58, he declared that the conllict be tween the North and South was an "irre pressible" one and involved the; question ef free or slave labor through Hie whole na tion. Mr. Seward iu lGO was a prominent candidate lor the Presidency, and at the National Republican Convention received ou the lirst ballot 17:1 votes to 10J lor Mr. Lincoln, the successful nominee. Iu the succeeding campaign Mr. Seward vigorous ly supported Mr. Lincoln, nnd on the ae ct Msiou of tho latter to cilice was appoint ed Secretary of State. This ollico dining the war hu tilled with ability nnd success, his services being especially noteworthy iu the correspondence with England ou the Trent affair, and in his advice to Mr. Lin coln favoring the Proclamation of Emanci pation. When President Lincoln was assassinat ed iu April, lSOo. Mr. Seward was confin ed to his bed. At nearly the same hour with the nssassinaliou of the President, a powerful man, subsequently ascertained to be Payne, called at Mr. Seward's apart metlls und under the pretense of bearing a pteseriptiou was shown to tho sick-room. Hushing to the bed he indicted several dangerous slabs mi his viclims's throat. Supposing that his work was complete, hu turned to leave, when he was' met at the door of the chamber by Mr. Frederick Seward, on whom he also indicted several wounds. In his haste, however, the mur derer fatlud to complete Ids work. Mr. Seward carried his scars to the grave, and his voice was perceptibly alleeted by the wounds. Uuder President Johnson he was con tinued in hi ollico as Secretary of Slate aud with him drifted into the Conservative movement, aud favored the "Philadelphia Convention" of 181 ill. Ho also accompa nied Pysidout Johnson ou his celebrated tour, usually ueuomiuuted "swinging around the circle." Soou after President's Gram's election he started on a tour around the world, visiting Japan, India aud various places in Europe. He was everywhere received with marked disline 1 tton and respect. Since his return Mr. AMERICAN Seward hns been engaged in editing a work, giving a summary of his travels, and in tho revision of this ho was occupied nt tho timo of his death. Tho results of his latest hours nre in the hands of tho printers and will soon be published. Tho labors of Mr. Seward have not been entirely of a political nature, and several public works'and orntions bear ample tes timony of his cultivation aud literary at tainments. Our language allords hut few better examples of mortuary cloquenco than Mr. Seward's Eulogies of Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and in later life, of Senntors Clayton, Rusk nnd Roderick. His Invention at tho terms "higher law" and "irrepressible conllict" will alono render his name reuowncd in tho political annals of America, while his vast political labors iu the cause of oppressed humanity will as certainly render it blessed. . dfUhccllancons Tin: noicsi: plauix. MARCH OF THE DISEASE CANADA. FROM Rochester, Oct. 22. The Canadian horse disease is on the increase, nnd there ate few horses iu tho city that aro not af fected. The Blreet railway company have suspended ierutions, all their horses be ing sick. The livery stables nnd the ex press companies have also suspended. There is hardly a horse to be seen ill the street, nnd not a farmer's team in sight hereabouts. The disease is raging with great fervor among all the stables in Western N'ew York. It is a form of intlucnza, nnd is classed by veterinary authorities under three heads, viz : the catarrhal, rheumatic and the gastro erysipelatus forms. Tho disease, which has made such havoc in the stables of liull'alo, Niagara, nnd this city, is of a CATARRHAL CHARACTER, its first noticeable symptoms being a flow of tears from the eyes, a watery discharge from the nose, general languor, "followed by I a cough. I In the early stages of the disease the I membranes of the nose, are pale, ofn lenden ; color, while the eyes present a reddish np- pctirntice. The veteriuaries also report some cases, wlncli, wlierever they appear, prove fatal, ns commencing with a chill succeeded by a general feverish condition, manifested by heat of the mouth, mem branes of the eyes, and uose reddened, pu'se frequent, though soft and easily com pressed, respiration quickened, and some times laborious. At this stage the bowels may be sluggish, miliary organs inactive, nnd the discharge from the nose often as suming a yellowish or greenish appearance. TI1K DISKAS1C wliich has frequently appeared among horses in Europe, usually runs its courae within ten days. There "has been great de vastation among the horses hero aud in liull'alo, owing to improper treatment nl an imperfect knowledge of the disease. A meant bath has been put in operation, and it is claimed with good eilect. Curi ously enough, canal horses are not sulier ing, at least there are no cases in the bams in this city. It struck Rochester about the litst of last week, and it has spread with astonish ing rapidity. It is supposed that seven tenths of tho horses in the city are more or less alleeted by this epidemic. COMMERCIAL MEX IX JtUH ALO ALAKMLD AT ITS: srtiliAD. UfFFALO, Oct. 22.--The hotse disease here has become a public calamity. Many j branches of business are entirely suspended ! for want of animals to do ordinary trans ; porttiliou. The street railroads are run I ning with half their usual force, und ex- Eeet to stop in a day or two. The omni us lines have slopped, all their hotses bc j ing sick.

The following description of tho disease aud its trcatmetit is taken from the liull'.i lo Commercial, anil is worth preserving : The early symptoms of this disease aro said to be a light, hacking cough and gen eral dullness, with an indisposition to move ; cold ears aud legs, with a watery discharge from the nostrils. At lirst the nasal membrane is pale, but as the disease advances it becomes highly colored, and the mucous discharge changes to a greeu ish or a yellow color, ond the pulse be comes more rapid. As soon us theee symptoms upx-ar tho animal should be kept warm in the stable by blanketing, aud warm bran mashes should be given. A letter fii.ni Dr. C. Elliott, veterinary surgeon of St. Catharines, contains what have proved to be valuable suggestions for the treatment of hoines sulleiing from the epidemic now so prevalent among these au imal Dr. Elliott advises that the stable be .-11 ventilated, the horses blanketed, aud chloride of lime sprinkled through the stable every inoining. The nostrils should be sponged out two or three times a day if the mucous adheres thereto. Tho food should consist of brail, with a little oats, and a moderate quantity of iiay. If the bowels are costive a half a pint of raw liu seed oil may be givrn. but it is probable that the mash will cause sutlicicut relaxa tion. Prescription No. 2 (givcu below) should be administered every morning and even ing. If the throat should be sore which call be ascertained by pressute of the hand upou the larynx-about two lablespoolifuls of prescription No. 1 (also given below) should be rubbed iu. So long as the dis ease is eonlined to the l.unyx there is but very little danger, but should it descend to tho lungs wliich will be it.dicalcd by the continued standing up of the nuiuuil, eold extremities aud labored brenlhiug a half pound of mustard should be mixed with two ounces of turpentine and water to tho consistency of thick cream, aud thu mix ture rubbed well iu behind tho forelegs or over tho regiou of the lungs. The legs should be bandaged if cold. If the pulsa should be more than fifty-live per minute, 111 teen drooiiol r lemming's tincture ol uco ti tie should bo given every two hours, and if tho breathing still contiuues labored and tho pulse grows more rapid, apply the mustard again, and give one ami a half drachms of calomel for two mornings.

They live longest as a class, who livo calm and even lives, mentally nnd physically, who aro most ex empt from the turmoils nnd shocks nnd strains that arc incident to human exist ence, and are assured of to-morrow's bread. There is no one thing which has such a direct influence in promoting longevity as an assurance, felt to lie well grounded, of a comfortable provision for life for all ordinary waut3 of our station. Not long ago a man died iu the poorhouse in Eng Innd, where he had. beeu taken care of for ninety years ; ho had no ;nnxiely for to morrow's bread ; lio, had .no quarter's day to provide against. In default of which wife and children would be turned into tho street from the doors of the elegant brown mansion. Ho had no notes to meet in tho bank, which, if not paid by a day or hour, would iuvolve protest or financial ruin. Ah, this load of doubt t how it grinds one's manhood to powder how it shames one's bouor how it has driven to desperation, to drunkenness, to suicide, to murder! How the at.guish of it takei tbe energy and health out of a niArf, and makes him pine nnd languish for 'ary days and weeks ou beds of thorns,- iiierco through tho bo dy into tho sfi. . 3tf oue good way to avoid sickuess . 1 premature death is to avoid debt ns you ,ould the evil one. . Remedy Fort Catarimi. A writer in an exchange says : "I had this disease eight years or more. It made such a stench that my family could hardly bear me iu their presence. One day I decided to try to cure myself. This is theexperimcnt and the re sult : I took a vial that would hold a g 11, and filled it nearly full of water, added to it a piece of alum the size of a common chestuut or hickory nut ; to this I added fifteen or twenty dtops of Raker's Pain Pa nacea, making it as strong as it could be borne. It would bo well to pulverize tho alum before putting it into the vial. After the nlum is dissolved, turn out into the Land a leaspoonl'ul or so of tho mixture, and snuff it up the nose two or three times ; pet it well up the nose. If it runs into the throat it docs no harm ; spit it out. Re peat this operatinu two or three limes a day. This simple medicine cured me iu about eight weeks or so. It is some six or eight years since 1 tried this, but 1 am all right now. It was worth more to me than the gold of India or Peru. Pkesekved Citiiox. Cut ript citrons in two, peel them and scrape out tho core carefully removing every seed. For live pounds of citron thus prepared, add one ounce of ginger root, bruised but not ground. Put them in water to cover the citroti, nnd boil until a fork will pierce them easily. To the live pounds allow three pounds of good sugar, and two fresh lemons. With a sharp knife shave olVthe yellow peel of the lemons in the sugar, being careful not to cut the white of the ritid. Then squeeze '.he juice of the lemon into tho sugar. Heuk is an anecdote told by one minis ter about another, A certain elder, who wan noted for bein seldom animated, aud seldom very bri -f, oueo kept a congrega tion wailing .i long time I". ,r ' hii appear ance, und when nt last ho did como, he preached them a sermon of unusual length u the text, "Feed my Lambs." He had not finished when the original old minister known as "Camp meeting John," rose from a seal in the congregation and said : 'I'rotlu r, I have had some experience in raising lambs myself, and I have found ! that the following rules are absolutely es- setilial to successful lamb raising : First, give Ihem food in season ; secondly, give them a little at n timo ; and third, give it to them warm." During a circus performance at Sheffield, England, on Monday night, tho gallery, filled with spectators, gave waynnd was precipitated on the heads of those below. From the accident, and dining the panic that ensued, seventy persons are reported to have been killed or wounded. The Rio Grande Commission to investi gate the out ages on the frontier, reports that the situation of a Hairs there is such that Mexicans ate constantly robbing and murdering American citizens, with the certainty of escaping all accountability by fleeing across the border. A blacksmith brought up a son, to whom ho was very severe, iu his I rude. One day the old man was trying to harden a cold chisel, which ho had made of foreign steel, hut he could not sueced. "Horsewhip it, father," exclaimed the boy ; If that won't harden it I don't kuow what will." Igriailtiun!, FiLTUiiiN'o i'lDKtt. We have never found it necessary to use other than the common straw filter in use nt eider mills, bulwuhavu seen it recommended lu pass cidt-u, before fermentation, through a filter of sand and charcoal made as follows : Clear river sand, rather roars-.', is hcsl ; put Ihe sand and charcoal into a tub or vat for the purpose, in alternate layers, having the coal reduced to pieces from hall'an inch to an inch square ; lay a piece ol flannel over the top, and as fast as the cider comes from the press pass it through tho filter, whereby all tho poiuaeo mid other im purities tiro removed. If tho flannel be comes so loaded with pomace as to impede the passage of the cider, it may be removed and washed and a new piece substituted. It this filtration is well done, ns the cider passes from tho sand it will appear to bo ierfect!y pure, and should be immediately put into casks and placed in the cellar. Jiuml J't' Yorker.

A farmer's wife writing to tho Ohio Farmer says: "Of all the products of tho farm, butter is most liable to bo tainted by noxious odors floating in tho almofphcrc. Our people laid somo veal iu the cellar, from which a little blood flowed out, and was neglected until it couimencd to smell. The result wa. thnt a jar of butler which I was then melting, semi led and tasted like spoiled ecf." Another Udp reader observes that there is a pond of filthy, etagnant water a few hundred feet from their house, from which on offensive effluvium would bo borne on the breeze directly to tho milk room, when tho wind was in a certain di: reetion, the result of which was thnt cream nnd butler would taste liko tho disagree able rdor coming from that pond. As soon ns the pond was draioed we had uo more damaged butter. -I iQi i AViNTF.ruxo Vegetaiiles. It is ono thing to raise good a crop of vegetables, but quite another to keep them safely through winter. It is doubtless, the fact that more vegetables are injured by beat iu winter than by cold, because most por sons crowd such things together in largo quantities, and then cover deeply to keep out the frost. When placed in cellars the windows arc.closed, nnd in tho more North ern States, bunked up with, porhaps, fresh horse manure from tho stable. Of course it is necessary to keep potators, turnips, beets, aud simi.nr fruits from freezing ; still they would be of far belter quality if kept ns cold ns possible, and not actually frozen. Turnips and beets, in particular, ore vpry liable to heat, and become spoiled if a large quantity is placed together ; and potatoes nre often injured by being stored in largo bins, instead of being put in bar rc"s or spread thinly upon shelves in a dark cellar. When buried in the ground, small heaps, say 20 to 30 bushels iu each, is best. itcctyes, Tomato Omelet rou Ureakfast.
