é The Alining and Scientific Dress, X Parek Putcss.—.As an instance of the cumulative operation of paper prices, we may mention the late riots inthe coal mines of Pennsylvania, The wages of tho miners rose with the prico of gold, until thoy got scven dollars per day, With the fall in gold it became necessary to reduce tho wages. Seven dollars a day bad been paid laborers in the mines, and now, in view of tho stringency of the market, it was proposed to reduce the rate to six dollars. The resnlt was a bloody riot. Finally, the military bad to be called oat to ptt a stop to the disturbances, and at last accounts it wag thought that tho danger was over. + a > Tar Amador Dispatch says that county bids fair to become, tit no distant day, one of tho greatest wine-producing districts iu tho State Removal. The Office of the Mixing ann Screntimc Press has been removed to the old printing stand known as Watere Bros. & Co., southwest corner of Clay and Sansome streets, opposite the Nlantle Hore) (being one block eguth of our forme location), where we may now be found, with more commodlous apartmenis and an extenslve Jos Puinttne Orrice. Sun Franclsco, Aprit loth, 1865, Oakiand Water-Cure. PRIL 18T, 1804, WE OPENED A HYOIENIC BOARDINO AX tlouse and Ladies Health Institute In Oakland, ‘The great advantage we huve experlenced slice that time, in the treatment and cure of all those diseases peculiar to females, a8 well as those common to all, over thatof San Francisco, luduced us to give up tha treatment of pentle: men in thoclty, We have accordingly removed our entire Bathing, @lectro-magnetic, nnd Gynimastie paratus, which we used especially Ln the treatment uf maties, to our Health Instituto acrosa the Bay, and have found, alter a trial of seven months, that gentlemen as well as ludy natlents recover, at our Fountain Farm Cure, one-third taster than !n the cliy of San Franclsco, The el{mate here ls the Most even and bracing tobe 1ound In theState. The grounds command 4 view unsurpassed im tbe world, The Institutlonts furnished with an abundance of pure, soft water, frum numerous springs; and we now oiler toe Minlaters, Teachers, Lawyers, Miners, Merchants, Mechanles, Farmers, and nll other worth y persons, who desire to try the advantaye of the only rativnal system of medicine, the hospitalltles of our Hygienic Home and Cure. Young men who have become debilitated or lost their health by excessIve toll, exposure, or enervating habits, contracted through lgnoranca of Pbysical Laws, may wlth us Hud more of the encouragements they weed, and means that will restore them to health, than elsewhere In Ca ifornia. We clalm fur Watcr-Cure and Hygieule Medication snperlor advantages over ail systems ot drug medication In tbe eure of all disurders, whether acute or chronic; that Itis followed by none of those debilitating diseases, sucb as Piles, Chronle Diarrhea, Torpld Liver, Constipation, lnotense Nervousness, Neuralgia, ctc,, Dor those terrible Secondary Diseases, known as Varicose Swelling ot the Yelns, Necrosis, or Decaying of iho Bones, Ulceratlon of the Lhnbs, Mercurial Rheumatism, Urethal Strictures, ete., which we well know result from the tree uso of mercury end other metallic drugs, together with stimulants and vegelubie polsons given to overcome acate discases. The Gakland Water-Cure and Eyo Infirmary is by far the most complete in Its facllitles for th@®cure of all diseases commonly treated jn all Eastern Water Cures of any like establishment on this coast, and the ouly onc In Calltortla conducted uccording ta the Theory and Practice of the New York Hydropathie College. We use all torms of Warm and Cold Wet Sbeet Packs, the Electro-Chemlcal Bath, Stenin Baths, Improved Sitz Baths, Douch Haths. a Patent 5pray Bath, and Magle Baths. The iast named was instituted by Dr. Smith with spectal refereneo to the eure of those diseases peculiar to miners, namely: Rheuimatism, Inllammatory or Chronie, Stuff Joints, Paralysis. Mercurial, Lead, and Oak Polsonings, It ls a sure cure for Aguoand Fever. It alds more than py other Bath we have yet used In eradicating all kinds of drugs and Intec. tious polsons, and im tho curo of all disorders Induced by expesitre te dampness and water, fonl air, absence of Ilght and electricity, retorting metals, the malarla of rivers and low marshy grounds. Where there was a talr constitution left, even when drags had been applicd for monthsand years without a cure, we have, In the past seven years, treated sucecaslully the following diseases: Chronic, Inflammatory and Mercurin! Rheumatism; Paralysts; Lung, Bronchial and Catarrhal Affectlons; Diseases of tho Heart, Khidneys, Liver; Dyspepsia, Constipation, Eryslpelns, Scrofula, Piles, Inflammation of the Bowels, Chrenie and Acute Diarrlicea, and all diseases and weaknesses pecullar to male and Iemales. No physiclan lu California ls so favorably situated to furnish su many home comtorts and hyglenle conditions thatare Indispensable to the speedy recovery of nervous and chronle Invalids, We have the only truly bealiblul hoarding place In tho State Tor men, women and children, with plenty of saddiv and carrlage horses fer the use of patients and boarders. a Yo that cluss of Diseases and Weaknesses pecullar to femules, and the medication that Hydiopathle or Hygicnic physicians employ in thelr cure, do we Invite the +peclal attention ut patients and thelr Irlends, The ease and rapidity wiih which femules suffering lrom general or speciul debillty, recover In the braclug ellmate of the Bay, under llyglenle Medicutlon, together with the universal success that has attended tho treatment of females at Dr. Smiih’s Insiltuttons, (both in Sucramento and Sun Franelsco) has Induced us to make this class of human aftlictlons a specialliy of our Instltutlon. We have treated (mostly In the cure), over 300 temates, several of whom had been “bedridden” tor months and years, and all have been decldedly henefited, and with but icw exceptions, returned to their homes In from two to six weeks, so far recovered as no longerto needa physician. We have never yet learucd of a single Instance of a relapse Into their former condition. There ls notone female invalld in twenty that has been suffering (rem nervous debility or diseases pecullar to her sex, that cannot be permanently cured by spending lrom four to slx weeks at our Cure, and at the inere cost of $1W. This statcinent we make In confidence, from an ¢xperlence of the last seven years. From the many who have been treated at our Cure, wo have yet to learn of a single regret Trom husband or wife of tbe tline or moans they have expended In Hygtenle Medication. ° — New Yors, Ang. 1, 1858.

For rapidly pulverlzing and amalgamating ores, they have noecqual. Noeffort has becn, or willbe, spared to have them constructed In the most perfect manner, and of the great number now In operation, not one has ever reuired repairs. The constant and increasing demand for them Is guflicient evidence of thelr merits, « They are constracted so asto apply steam directly inte the pulp, or with steam hottoms, as desired, This Amalgamator Operates as Follows; The pan boing filled, the motion of the muller forces the pulp to the cenier, where It ls drawn down through the Ae ertoro and between the erind{ng surfaces. Thence it la thrown to the periphery Into the quicksilver. The curved plates again draw it to the center, where It passes down, and tothe circumference as hctore. Tbugitls constantly pees in a regular flow hetween the grinding surfaces and nto the ivan alrag. untll the ore is reduced to an Impalpable powder, and the metal amatgamated. Sctlors made on the samo principle exccl all othors.— They hring the pulp so constantly and periectly in contact wit auiceeiy eet that the particles aro rapidly and com ploteiy absorbed, Mill men are invited to examine these pans and setlers for themselves, at the PACIFIC FOUNDEY, Ii San Francisco.
