DEATH OF Mr.. HILLHoUsE.-We learn with
regret of the death at New Haven, on Wednes-
day morning last, of James A. Hillhouss, one of
the finest writers and most accomplished schol-
ars who have contributed to the valuable litera-
ture of this country. MIR. Hillhouse was son
of Hon. James Hillhouse, for more than twenty
years a member of the national Senate or House
of Representatives from Connecticut, and was
born in the year 1890. He was educated at Yale
College, and after completing his studies in that
Institution, devoted his attention to the law. II
was as an author only, however, that he dis
tinguished himself, and though his writings are
by no means volumiAous they will preserve his
name in the catalogue of the first in time and
first in rank OF the poets Of the country. Hadad,
Percy's Masque, Sachem's Wood, the Judgment,
and other poems and essays, by MIR. Hillbouse,
were published in two volumes, last year, by
