OOltE’S RURAL NEW-YO RKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL. 
Kossuth’s Reception- 
of an Agricultural Editor. 
. Cole, Esq., of the New England 
r and favorably known as an editor 
agricultural publications—departed 
residence in Chelsea, near Boston, 
t. Though personally unacquainted 
e, we iiave long esteemed him as 
>st devoted and untiring laborers in 
the field of Rural Literature — as a man doing 
much in his chosen sphere to promote the happi¬ 
ness gf his fellows, and increase the wealth of the 
country—and hence the announcement of his 
decease, not only awakens individual emotions of 
pain, but sincere regret for the loss to community 
of so able an advocate of the cause in which he 
was engaged. 
The last number of the Farmer pays a just tri¬ 
bute to the memory of Mr. C.—and we regret 
that we can only give, now, the following brief 
Womans' Rights —A Hard Case. 
The following facts were stated by Mrs. C. J. 
II. Nichols, at the late Womans’ Convention at
