INVALIDS, Are apprispd it at Dr KINKF.LIN confines Ins practice to a particular branch of medi cine, which engages Ins inilivi trial attention. He camions the iniioitnnale against the a tinse id mercury; thousands are annually mercurialized out ol Itle. Recent affections are piompily extinguished. TWENTY YEARS' EXPERIENCE In the treatment of a cla-s of diseases hith erto neglected and imperfectly understood, j has enabled Dr. KINKELIN, Author of a work on Sell Preservation, to prove that nine tenths of the causes of nervous debility, lo cal and constitutional weakness, mental aril physical suffering, are traceable to certain habits, forming the most secret yet deadly and latal springs of domestic misery and premature mortality. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE, There is an evil habit sometimes indulged in by boys, in solitude, and which, if not re formed in due time, not only begets serious obstacles to matrimonial happiness,but gives rise to a series ol protracted, insidious, and devastating afflictions. Few ol those who give way to this pernicious practice ate a yvare ol the consequences, until they find the nervous system shattered, feel strange and unaccountable leelings, and vague fears in lite mind. The unfortunate thus affected beenmes fee ble, is unable to labor with accustomed vig or, or to apply Ins mind in study ; bis step is lardy arm weak, he is dull irresolute, and engages iu Ins sport with less energy than usual. II he emanci|ate himself before the prac tice has done its worst, and eti'er matrimony, his marriage is nnfruitlnl, and his sense tells him 'hai this is caused by his early lollies.— These are considerations which should awa ken the atieinion of those similarly situated. MARRIAGE Requires the fulfillment of several conditions in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil which covers the origin ol domestic wretchedness be raised, and its true source i > every in stance disclosed—in how many could it be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disappointments! Apply then while it is yet litre, in order to have your unstrung and relaxed organization rebraced, revivified and strengthened. REMEMRER, He who places himself under Dr. Kinkelin's treatment may religiously confide in his hon or as a genieman, and rely upon the assur ance, that the secrets ol Dr. K's patients will never be disclosed. Young man—let no false modesty deler you from making your case Known to line woo, from education and respectability, can befriend you. Too irisny think they will conceal the se cret in their own hearts, and cure themselves. Alas ! how olten Is this a laial delusion, and how many a promising young man, who might have been an ornament to society, has failed from the eauri.

The cause of all ague and hillious dis eases is the atmospheric poison railed Mias ma or Malaria. Neutralize this poison by its NATURAL ANTIDOTE, and all diseases caused by it disappears at once. Rhodes' Fever and Ague Cure is this Antidote lo Malaria, am 1 moreover it is a perfectly harmless medicine. The certificate of the celebrated chemist. J R. Chilton, of New York, to this efieet, is attached to every bottle ; therefore if it does no good it car. do no hsrm. This ia more than can be said of Quinine, Arsenic, or any tonic in existence, as their use is ruinous In the constitution antl brings on DUMB AGUE, which never allows a per son to feel perleclly well for a single moment. In illustiation of these truths 1 annex some extracts Irom a letter just received from a Physician: Georgetown, Ohio, March 17, '56. JAS. A. RHODES, Esq.— Dear Sir: Yours of 2d insl. is at hand. 'The Cure arrived late last year and the difficulty in getting any one to try it was greatly increased from Ihe fact that a remedy had been introduced which was growing in favor with the puhlio, as be ing better than using Quinine, —not knowing I presume that the renie.ly they needed lo escape taking Quinine, contained the DRUG ITSELF! This remedy, (known as "Smith'aTonic,") would iuvuriatdy BREAK an ague, but it did not CURE it, and it would often return with renewed vigor. The one circumstance I deemed in your favor, if I could institute a lest comparison between it and yffbr CURE. The tollowing ia the result: Three persons look your "Cure," all of which were cases of "Quotidian Intermit tent Fever," of many weeks standing. They had tried Quinine, and other remedies, occa sionally missing a chill, but it was, (as in all such cases,j slowly wearing them out, and laying Ihe foundation of other and severer maladies. 1 did succeed itf effecting a radi cal cure of all threb of tlie6 cases with your remedy, and they have not had a chill since. In all three of these cases the "Smith's Ton ic" had been used, and would, as before sta led, break the chill, but after a period or two had elapsed it would return. I think there will he no difficulty now in giving lo your "Cure" Ihe vantage ground of any other remedy now in use here. Sir. &c. WILLIAM BUCKNER, M. D. RHODES' FEVER and AGUE CURE, or Antidote to Malaria, the only harmless reme dv in existence, ia equally certain as a PRE VENTIVE, as a "CURE." Take it when you feel the chill coming on, and you will uever have a single one. JAMES A. RHODES, Proprietor. Providence, R. I. For sale by Druggista generally. June 18, 1856. Fresh Arrival!

HERRING'S The only Safe which, in every instance, preserved the entire contents at the late Extensive Fires. AT THE BURNING OF THE ARTIZAN ** BUILDJNGS. April lOlh, anil in the great fire in Market Street, May Ist, 1856, the gen uine HERRING SAFE preserved the Jewelry of George W. Simms & Bro.; Books, Papers &c. of Fisher & Bro. and Edward Semane & Co., after remaining exposed in the burning mine lor nearly Forty Hours, and proving conclu sively what we have alwtrya claimed for them, their great eupeiiority over all securi ties known. In these fires, the HERRING'S SAFE, standing side by side with those advertised a* ' warranted to stand 10 per cent, more fire than Herring's." came forth the acknowledg ed victor, nol only preserving their contents in excellent order, but being themselves in a condition to go through another ordeal, while the boa-ted "Salamanders" of other makers were badly used up in every instance, and in somecasestheir entire contents completely destroyed. To the puhlic we would simply ssy, that, during the fourteen years of the Herring's Sale has been before them, more than two hundred have passed through accidental fires without the occuirence of a single lots. We would, therefore, caution purchasers agaii.sl the misrepresentation of interested parties.

The Soil la a rich limeatnne loam, tint?es pecially ndepted to cultivation, ea it is neither hilly nor atony, but gently rolling or fine table land. Around and through ihia properly there are already anine 20,000 acrea under cultivation, and ita fertility haa been established from the crops produced. Upon this ehtyect It is easy to be fully satisfied. There is a rsady cash tnarltel for*pinduce which is much hotter than trade. It is the CHEAPEST, as land of a similar quality is selling at much higher prices adjoining, and especially such as conlaina coal. THE COAL—Thia in particular is the Coal District, several veins underlaying the whole property, and the attention of miners, end those acquainted with coal lands, is specially called to it. It has tho advantage of being the nearest In the great lake market, with which it will bo connected by the tSunbury and Erie Railroad now under contract end in course of completion from Erie to Ridgeway, with de scending grade the whole way. The soil over | hiiuininnus coal is the best, lor instance Eng. lai d uud oilier rounliies. 'I be price per acre ia trilling for the coal alone, as it will certain ly, in so favorable a location within a short time pay largely. 'This is important as an immense coal trade will soon oprn. Four coal companies have alieady been started to work mil es in the vicinity, and thore aie now fifteen openings around St. Mary's. THE TIMBER, Stockholders also received. There is no reservation whatever either of timber or eoal. It la very valuable, and will pay for a great pait of the lar.d.

Eiorgotic exertions are nl<o being made for the building of tho Tyrone and Clear field, which also passes through this property. 'The effect of this upon trido, and general do. vel.ipment, .a well as the coal, may be imagined. The large and nourishing town of St. Mary'e is in the centre of ihe tract, numbering near 3,(100 inhabitants. It haa hotels, good public schools, saw and grist mills, stores, well stocked and every thing desired.

Ridgeway the county seat, where an extensive business is done no. joins the trait on tho west. The whole dietriet is intersected by good turnpike, and other roads. This is a rare opportunity offered to those who wish to fuim or have a good investment for the future.
