The Late Mr• Cobden.

The Hon. Charles Sumner, as chairman of the
late Republican Convention in Massachusetts, has
addressed the following letter to Mrs. Cobden :
" Boston, Oct. 5, 1865.

"My dear Madam,—l have been charged by the
Convention of the Republicans of Massachusetts,
over which I had the honour of presiding, to com-
municate_ to you resolutions unanimously adopted
by them expressing their grateful regard for the
memory of your late husband, .and their sympathy
with you in your bereavement.
" KnoNl;ing Mr. Cobden personally as I did for
many years, and corresponding intimately with him
on public questions,
I confess a sense of personal
loss beyond even that of my fellow-citizens. lie
was the good friend of my country, and he was my
own private friend. Therefore, in making this
communication, I desire to express my own indivi-
dual grief.

t 4 His lamented death has caused a chasm not
only in his own home and country, but here in the
United States. We all miss him and mourn him.;
He was a wise and good man. Though an
Englishman by birth, his heart and all his faculties
were given to mankind, knowing well that the wel-
fare and true glory of his own great country were
best assured by such a dedication.
_ .

" Hoping that you may be consoled in your great
sorrow, and that your children may be blessed in
life, I ask you to accept the assurance of respect
with which I have the honour to be, dear madam,
your very faithful servant,

" CHARLES SUMNER."

LADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoways Ointment and Pills.—
There is no question whatever that rheumatism, neuralgia,
and such like painful maladies are more rife this season
than for some years past. The number of testimonials of
cures effected by Holloway's remedies is unprecedented,
hwear omintbmrienne. It will pass
i dried, and im-
mediately should be enforced on the attention of all sufferers
from these complaints. The parts in pain should be
forfo-
nmwenditaetdely som
wellrubbed minutes
with witht
into the pores of the skin and give the greatest relief.
Many valuable lives are annually lost
e
which might be saved
if early recourse in illness were made to these remarkable
remedies, which must necessarily -prove beneficial, and
cannot do harm.
