New PublICn lions.

s. w Whitaker, Market street, has placed on
desk several new publications. {" The Alps, Swtzer
land, Savoy and Lombardy," giving account of the
most recent ascents to Mont Blanc. &c., by the
Rev Charles Williams, we think is a very interest
ing work. The History of Hungary" from the
earliest period to the close of the late war; is full of
interesting information.
The " illustrated Magazine of Art" is work
which, we believe, is generally known to be of a
high literary cast.
The Popular Educator" for July, has also been
received. Mr.. Whitaker is agent for the above
works and will give any information relative to them
that may be desired.

Death of Charles Paine.

Died, It Waco, Texas on the 9Th ult., Of dys-

Hon CHARLES PAINE of Mortified, Vermont,
aged "A years Gov. Paine was son Of the
late Hon. Elijah Paine, and was born at Will

cd al Harvard College in 1920, at the age of 81,
and INN sdately entered upon active business
in charge Of wooden factory at Northfeld.-
From that period to his death, CHARLES PAINr
has been one of the most energetic, entcrprizing,
valuable and influential citizens of the State
Among his associates he has ever had friends
most wormly attached and from the people the
highest honor Of the State was early won.--

he was ever firm and unwayering Wing. Ar

opinion always carried great influence with it

cd The death of Gov. Paine is a loss not only
to his friends, but to the whole country"
We extract, from the Atlas also, the following
particulars; He went to Texas at the earnest
desire Of several gentlemen in New York, who
were interested in the enterprise, for the pur
pose of exploring the most Southerly route OF
the proposed Railroad to the Pacific. His health
had been feeble for several months previous to
his departure, and his friends in this city en-
deayored to dssuade him from undertaking a
journey 10 so unhealthy climate this sea-
son of the year. But as he felt strong interest
i've the project, he resolved to perseyere, and the
result has been what his friends feared at the
tmo Of departure. Every attention was paid
him during his illness by the citizens of Waco.
DR.. Derry, skfnl physician of the place. was
constantly with him, aud DR.. Steiner, surgeon
IN the u. 5. army, who was at a station fifty
miles di, tant, as sent for, and remained with
him til MS death. His last hour was calm, and
he met his fate with composure. When told
that there was no hope of his recovery, he re-

stranger could have caused more regret in this
State llau that of Ex-Governor Paine"
Ga Friday the citizens of Mortified assem-
hled N large numbers and took appropriate no

funeral services will be postponed until the
arrival IF Gov. Paine's sister from Europe, and
perhaps until his reHains are brought to Yer

them.
