r. rre'i. ixnoiinr, proprietor or t;io
"Virginia Hotel" of this place, diod about

in consequence of which it was subject to
stricture. On Saturday evening last,
while eating oysters, one of them lodged in
his nphngos or swallow, about C or 8
inches. from the stomach, which caused
much pain, which had to be forced into
tho stomsch, by mechanical means. It i
Supposed that a piece of shell was attached
to the oyster. Whilst this was the erciting

the immediate- cause of bis death wa cere

In this unexpected death, this commu

Thk Tobacco Tax. The Committee
of Ways and Mesns of the U. 8. House of
Representative has sottlod the question of
modityiiig the internal tax on tobacco by
making small concession to the manufac
turer of plug tobnivo. Wall, even this is
more than we abject subjects of tho Yankee
had roasou to expect. We aro profoundly
grateful to Mr. towoll of Mastsclnisotts
and other solf-saorilloing Yankee for pro
curing us this small boon. They aro a no
ble set of stutosinrp, so they are.
Tl.o qucstioii wss sot tied by the commit
teo by retaining the tax on smoking tobscco
and changing that on plug tobaoco from
thirty-two to twnnty.four cent a pound.
The appeal of tho tobacco interest, especi
ally that from Virginia for a consolidated
or uniform tax of sixteen cents a pound,
or even twenty cents, was not responded to.
