OBITUARY..

GIDEON ALLEN, of WAYNE, Cass County,
Mich, departed this life at his residence, on the
18th inst, in the 73d year of his age
His disease pr, IDLY Catarrh in the head,
induced by successive severe colds during the
winter. He was permitted to attain to ripe old
age, and having passed long and useful life, he
was called from the embrace of loving family
and an esteeming community to his house and
home not made with hands. His son Charles, in
the army Of the Shenandoah, was telegraphed to,
and, with much sorrow and regret, arrived but a
little too late to look again upon the face of his
aged father. j. STRoUP.

BRoNCHITIs TREATED SUCCESSFULLY.
Bronchitis, perhaps, has, more than any other
disease, baffied medical skill, yet it is believed by
many eminent medical gentlemen that discoveries
now made in medical science may soon introduce
Bronchitis among the list of durable diseases. A
case of advanced disease of this character Created
of late) where weak voice, shortness of breath,
hoarseuess, had been of seven years standing, and
for several months the voice had sunk to whisper,
hectic fever. and night sweats frequent and death
seemed almost a necessity. Efectual treatment
was instituted in October or November. 1861; in
December patient was better, gaining strength,
hectic in January patient still improving,
voice better, patient able to labor. Treatment by

following interesting particulars:
Our troops. under Gen. Burnside, landed On
Thursday evening. near the mouth Of Swan
Creek, on the west lido Of Neuse river. Is miles
below New bern. Owing to dense fog, the naval
vessels cid not participate in the fight. Early on
Friday morning the e Iht commen,ed.
Our troops advanced along the couutry and run.
ming parallel with Neuse river. but mile or two
in the rear. The road was ekirted on the west
side BY railroad and dense swamp. All along
the river side were . series Of batteries, which
were taken by our troops, one alter another, after
soue blsldy hand-to-h hand contests.
Our troops were divided into three brigades,
under Gems. Reno, Foster and Parke. We ad-
vancsd gradualy-the enemy not deserting their
guns until 10 reached line Of earth works ex-
tending across the road from the river to the
swamp, 90 the west, . distance Of some two miles.
These works were very streng. They were loca-
ted about two miles south Of Newoern, and be-
tween there and the city ran the river Trent. The
country road and the railroad both passed through
these works and crossed into the city BY bridges.
In front Of these works the rebels had felled .
large number Of trees, forming an almost impene-
trakle abattis. Here the flying rebels we're raj.
lied, and made for while . desperate sand.
Our men fought until al their ammunition vas
spent, when IN order % charge bayossss was Civ
%, and the works were finally taken at the point
