The Kinderhook Rough Notes gets of the following joke about Job ct is supposed by mauy unthinking persons who read the Scrip iuras iA tha sane csreless manner they run through uewspsper-taking everything they read ia literal sense-thst old Job was actu- silly afflicted with hoils, CT esup,ive sores, Now, to tho casual readsr this deduction iU plain enough but when his occupation is ta- keu into consideration, a very different conclu- sion will be arrived at. Job, it will be rssol- leeted, was printer-sr, what is about the same thing. he wished his words were print ed in book ; and these bells were nothing more than his non paying subscribers, the thought of whose delin9uinciss were really plague to him whenever . bill for paper, or other material. came in, as these subscrip-- tions were depended upon to realize the amount due. Yet, they merely proved the evidence of things hoped for, but tho sub stance of things not seen. Then, these com forters that surrounded him-they were his creditors, whose continual oawing for pay was enough to make man, even with his reputsd patience, to feel sore all ovsr as we'll a ncan enough to creep into sn ash-heap, and scratch himself with pot-hook or clsm-shell, by way of working of the extra 'hile.' That's what the matter was with Job. We caa synpathizs with him, for we are of en placed in the SaDo fix, and have even get such 'spelP on now. Nothing but few 'greenbscks' will remove it."

Mir. Luther c. Tibbetts, well known in Falls Village, where hia faail7 reside, gos himself
 into serious difficulty st the Corn Exchange in New York city ca Monday of this week, the following account of which we find in ths New York Tribune of Tuesday:
 The Produce Exchange was yesterday noon the sceue of smother disturbance which resul- ted in the s'abbing of a policeman and gen cral stampede among the frequenters of the place. It appears that on Friday last during the session on Change, Mr. l.. c. Tibbets who has for long time been speculatiny in grain and recently bought largely, became greatly excited at the alleged breaking of contracts by several persons with whom he had become connected in his business transactions. To add to lis anger ncnber Of the merchants present pslt.d hia with dough, st which he became very incenssd. On Saturday tho Board of managers determined to euspend Mr. Tibbetts' privilege On the floor but he being there st ths time and behaving quietly, was allowed to remain until tLe close of the session. Yesterday noon Tibhetts walked into the room, wnen Mir. Vanderbilt, janitor, attempted to s.cn him, upon which be drew a knife and mads several thrus:s at Mir. Vanderbilt, but only succeeded a Cutting his clothes. Tibbetts then moui.ted the "corn table," kicking over the sample Soxes, and flour
 shing his knife deied the whoic crowd.- In the course of wild Reclamation he aussed many of the merchants, calling them scoun- dres and other hard names. He said that he was " monarch Of this coacern,' that they had taken his time, his money and his character, and they might take his life. The excitement became intense, and the dense throng of peo- pie on Change surged to the side of the room, amid cries of 'shoot him. "dont shoot, &c There was general rush down stairs and into the street, where the excited merchants await ed the deaouement of the affair. After some delay the services of policeman were obtained but as the officer approached and struck him over the arm with his club, some one pushed 1ibbets from the table. During the scuti1e Tibbets stabbed the officer several times ln the arm and back, inhicting injuries of a serious nature. The infuriated man was finally secur- ed aud taken to tke Station House. The ol1l- cer, whose name IS Besemer, was removed 10 his residence. Tibbets is about A years Of age, and was born in South Berwick, Me. tie has operated largely In corn, at present hold ing nearly two-tbirds of the stock now in this market, and it is alleged that this has led to his persecution by other dealers until he has been driven almost to the verge of madness. His friends think him insane.
 On searching the prisoner, the bloody knife with which he had committed the assault, and five others of the same pattern were found ID his possession. The following copy of letr

Alter repeated experiments it was con. . ciusively proved that this insect jumped over given space precisely ten times in one of our ] minutes, or six hundred times in an hour Blooayrawhead must, therefore, havo remained in the water about ten hours. For obvious | reasons, this method of computing time is much preferable to ours. lo. In Roastbabi it is considered extrsmely vulgar to wash oueself.

THE SURGEON OF THE 2D CoNN. ARTILLERY. A lew weeks since we were called upon by an invalid soldier, who had recently received his discharge fro.a the then 18th, now 2d Conn Artillery He told ss @ piteous story of cruel ty and wrong suffered by him at the hands of the Surgeon of the Regiment, and his story was corroborated in all its essential facts by Capts. Bis sell and Peck, and other officers and men who knew of his case and treatment. He also informed us that he had taken measures to bring the case of Surgeon Plumb before a Court Martial, that charges would be pIc- ferred, &c.
 Nor is tue statement of the soldier above the only complaint that has reached our cars. The County has been full of them. It is very well known, ut home, that Dr. Plumb was young man of tolerabIe attachments, but no practice, previous to his entering the army and that his appointment was solely due to the recommendation of certain Surgeon in New Haven and those from home who have had occasion to visit Our boys in the 2d, especially those who were Or have boQn dangerously ill, have not returned with very exalted opinions ot Dr. Piumb's .bility. competency or faithful ness in the discharge of his duty. At al! events, t is vel! known that singular mortal fly ias hitherto befa!len the Regiment, for which neither its situation, it's duties, nor it's discipline nor morals could account.
 In the light of the above facts, which we could enlarge further upon if it were necessa- ry-we stated a fortnight since that consider able complaint is made of the Surgeon of the Regiment for neglect of duty aud incompeten- cy, and we learn, his ease is to be brought be- fore the proper authorities at an early day" We are happy to ses by communication from the Regiment published in County cotempo. rary, that these few lines of ours have had an exceedingly beneficial effect upon the Surgeon in question, and that noac, at least, some of the hospital patients (among those who are not too i'll to write their namss) desire to commend their care and medical attendance We are aware, indeed, how easily such communications are signed, and how seldom 6 private refuses to sign paper that is presented him by an officer, but we are willing and desirous to be. feve that some change will hereafter be made for the better. If there is not, we shall hardly expect to receive communication from the hospital of the 2d t. that eff ct, but we shall trust that some one will be brave enough and just enough to himself, his Regiment, and his friends at home, to bring up the matter speed lily "before the proper authorities" For it seems to us, if there is one thing more than another that should be carefully and constantly looked to in Regiment, it is the Medical De- partmsnt, and We shall never hesitate to throw what light We can into whatever suspicious spots light seems to be needed. Nor in doing SO shall we have any other axe to grind" than the simple welfare and well. being of the Regi. mont.
