Coz 4. A. LUMsDES. There seems TO be NO
longer any doubt Of the loss Of Col Lumsden, one
of the editors and proprietors Of the Picayune by
the late steamboat explosion on Lake Michigan
The Courier says
The unexpected announcement Of the death of
Col. n. "a. Lnmsden, the senior editor of the New
Orleans Picayune, BY the unfortunate collision on
Lake Michigan, has cast gloom over this COM
munity most difficult TO describe. In his demise
ne feel that this community has sustained an
Sirreparable calamity Tor, apart from his social
virtues Col Lumsden was not only an ornament to
the editorial profession, but one Of those public
spirited citizens who leave their mark upon the
period In which they live. We sincerely sympa-
Ehize wit bis family and friends for their untimely
bereavement
rAe Signal offers the following brief, but manly
and generous tribute
Among the lost, we deeply regret to say, are
Col. 4. a. Lumsden, Of the Picayune, wife and
san. Here was d whole family swept off at one
fell blow and the awful catastrophe has caused
mourning Ia numerous circles.
