 hospital, Lookout Mountain, Tenn., aged 64 

 years. Dr. Cos was a native of New York, 

 and had been for many years one of the most 

 eminent medical practitioners of Xew York 

 City. At the opening of the war, with a rare 

 patriotism, he relinquished his large practice 

 and took an appointment as a surgeon in the 

 army. His abilities were recognized, and he 

 was promoted to be snrgeon-in-chief of division ; 

 but the hardships and exposures of the Chatta- 

 nooga and Atlanta campaigns had broken down 

 his health and terminated his useful life.

 Jersey, educated a printer, removed to Potts- 

 L'a.. in the infancy of the coal trade, and

 railroad manager of Buffalo, died in that city 

 of softening of the brain. He was born in 

 Hoosack, X. Y. His family were in very hum- 

 ble circumstances, and the death of his father 

 left him when a mere child the head of the 

 family. His industry, integrity, and b 1 ,: 

 ability, won him friends and the confidence of 

 capitalists ; lie entered at an early age the bank- 

 ing business, and filled important positions of 

 trust prior to his removal to Buffalo in 1844, 

 where he started an individual bank known for 

 many years as "Patchen's Bank/' He early 

 perceived the importance of connecting Buffalo 

 with Xew York by way of the Erie Railroad, 

 and projected and built almost wholly from his 

 own resources the Buffalo and Xew York City 

 Railroad, extending from Buffalo to Corning, 

 X. Y. Involved in debt by this enterprise, 

 which for a tune proved unremunerative, he 

 exhibited rare versatility of resource in main- 

 taining the vast burden, but at last it proved 

 too much for even Ids vigorous and well-bal- 

 anced mind, and the wearied brain gave way.
