Mr.. sTODDARD ADDRESS.
Gentlemen of the Common Council 1T is nv
painful duty to announce officially to you the
sudden decease Of Frederic Warren, the late
Marshal of this city. This sad dispensation of
Providence comes home to us in our represen.
tative capacity with peculiar significance Al

misfortune. No person could have exhibited
more tender feelings OF regret, or spoken Of the
courtesy and kindness which he, a brother pc.

hands Of Mr.. Warren, than did Mr.. Hendricks.
His business obliged him to leave the city previ-

another, and, we trust, happier home Mr..
Hendricks was being waited over broad ocean
to his own distant home, heart. broken, at being
