Death from Bleeding at the Nose.

Mr.. +. {. Tobey. for many years highly
respected citizen of Bar: istable county, and
weil-known trader at Hyannis, while in
this city two weeks since, was taken early
one morning at the Parks House, where he
lodged, with sudden and profuse bleeding
at the nose. Il was soon found that no or
binary remedies could be successfully applied
for his relief, and having bed for nearly two
hours medical assistance was procured. in the
person of F. W. Goodall, of Glover. VT, who
was guest in the house at that time, and
WHO succeeded in arresting the hemorrhsge
i'll very few minutes. Later in the day
and after recurrence of the hemorrhage,
which was again arrested by Dr. Goodal.
bleeding for the third time appeared, when
DR.. Geo. H. Gay was also summoned. and

was performed upon Mr.. T., giving him re-
lief, and making rim sufficiently comfortable
to be removed to his home, after the lapse
Of another day. We learn, however, that

after the operation, ana the tenth after the
removal of the plugs, having lived much
longer than was expected by his surgeons;
thereby, not only enabling him to die in the
tosom OF his family, and midst of his friends,
but also to arrange and settle much impor-

The Words of a Patriot Soldier.

The gallant General Rousseau, who NAV
be said to have led Kentucky into the field,

in which he said -
My political creed is but minute long.
am for the government of my fathers and
the friends of that government, and | am
against the enemies of that government. and
all their friends both North and South"
Giving a timely warning to his hearers, he
added -
No matter what Your political prediec-
tons may be, unite to save the country. anG
after that settle questions of policy. Let no,
your differences OF opinion weaken the arms
OF the brave men who are fighting that YOU

A Soldiers Opinion.

The following is an extract from private
letter written BY an officer in the Union army
who was for long time under Mcclellan:
ave are in the midst of Virginia win
ter and snow, rain, fog and mud are plentiful.
Mud as is mud, my boy. No wonder the
army is stuck fast. Speaking Oft that think
the army is rid of several prominent stick
in the muds and Joe Hooker will undoubt-
edly clear it of many more. l think now
that if Mcclellan had never had command
in our service we should have crushed the
rebellion long before this. Is it not shame
full that man whose career has been an un-
interrupted succession of disasters and de-
feats and who had at last forced his superb
ors to remove him should allow himself to be
toled about the country by set of President
makers; toasted teted, fawned upon, and in
this dark hour when the whole country is
filled with woe and broken hearts, and
consequences of his disgaaceful and unpre-
cedented laundering, that these same people
upon whom he has brought all this may make
God of him now and President hereafter.
| used to be Mcclellan man and think now
that there are few men his equels, if you
want to establish an extensive graveyard in
swamp. can pity all those who DEFY him

ABOUT PAPER.-The Congregationalist,
enth, and is now printed at 50 year in ad.
vance, or $3.50 if not in advance, announces
in its last number that it cannot 60 along a,
its presen, size and terms and pay the enor-
nous price asked for paper. The city dai.
lies contemplate another advance soon in
their prices to save themselves from bankrupt.
cy. For all these facts which are row pa.
tent to every one, Congress still refuses to
discontinue, suspend or reduce the duty cr
imported paper, and occasionally man comes
into our office and says: &" If you can't send
your paper to me just as you have here
tofore, YOU may stop it." How reasonable
