DEATH OF FORMER CITIZEN OF In,
DEPENDENCE-Wc are in receipt Of the
British Wig, of Feb 9th, a paper pub
lshed at Kingston, Canada, containing
the following notice of the death of Capt
l.. n Putnam, formerly Of this city and
for six years one OF our leading and most
thoroughly respected business men,
The panygeric passed upon the character
and standing of the deceased by
the Kingston papers will be ap-
prcciated and sincerely indersed by hun
dreds here who learned to honor him as
an upright man and faithful friend;
Last evening Captain Lester n. Put
nam, after an illness Of a few days, but
one which attacked him SO viralently
that from the first the worst fears for his
life were entertained, kneathed his last at
his residence on Montreal street To his
family, who held him in most atfectionate
regard, his demise has been q deep shock,
AS he has been carried off at the compar
ativcly early age Of SO years-at time
when he might reasonably expect to en-
joy the repose and retirement which an
active and useful business life fally enti
tied him to. His death has been a mat
ter of deep regret TO the public, for the
deceased had many warm personal friends.
In business circles, too, he was more than
commonly respected by all with whom he
came in contact, and the Montreal Trans
portation Company, Of whose important
affairs he was manager here, will find it
Difficult: to secure anyone to fill the post
so we'll Possessing very friendly dis
position, he had no enemies, and the re
grets over his death will indeed be sin
cere. Besides being good citizen, he
was an exemplary man, and leaves a
heritage behind him in good name
On Saturday the funeral takes place, and
will be largely attended"

The City Election.

The election for city officers last Mon
day passed off without excitement or
strife, except of a legitimate nature. The
Republicans had full ticket for city off
GERS in the field. The Democracy and
Liberals, evidently uncertain which of
those banners they will ultimately train
under, evaded the adoption of either by
the disguise of peoples Ticket which
was essentially Demo- Liberal, and its par
tial success may be fairly claimed by those
organizations rs their own. The aggre-
gate vote on the general ticket was some
what larger than last year, and the ma
jorities on either side small. The Demo
Gratis elect their candidate for Mayor by
20 majority. They also elect councilmcn
in the I'd and 4th Wards. The Liberals
gain councilman in the Sd Ward, under
cover of Republican nomination. The
Republicans elect the Assessor, Treasurer
Solicitor and councilmen in the 1st and
5th Wards
The proposition to establish City lii
brary, and that to purchase Steam Fire
Engine were both decided in the afiirma
tive, the first, by u majority which is
compliment to the intelligence and public
spirit Of our citizens. The investment

The following are the official figures of
the vote. The Republican candidates in

But there is one ship which can never 90

battered hulk tells of n scene when old
Ocean was in far different mood.
Probably the most purely artistic cut
that has ever appeared in The ALDINE is
the study of white Birches Of the Sara
nae" after Hows. The wonderful fidelity
of every detail convinces us that we are
gazing upon actual portraits of these
venerable monarchs Of the forest, drawn
by one who knows and loves them well.
The engraving, which truthfulIy renders
every varying texture of bark and leaf,
is a worthy specimen Of the talent Of that
prince of engravers-the elder Linton.
A proof impression Of this cut has been
on exhibition in New York, where it has
won the highest praise from connoisseurs.
Although many other pictures will be
more widely popular, it will be hard to
selcc, q single one which will do more to
win for The ALDINE the respect of those
whose cultivation enables them to recog-
uize and appreciate the highest forms of
art. James D. Smile gives spirited
sketch of that famous ride "From Client

sketches by Tavernicr. which are very
beautiful. 'The Fox and Grapes" after
Dore, is specimen Of that masters most
happy style, and is a triumph Of pictori-

also congratulate ourselves upon the pos

The editor of the Conservative can
make an attempt to gather material for Il
ghost story if he will have leisure to ac-
company Il party to the house north OF
the depot, any time before his next issue,

either have diseased imagination, or a
propensity to beat Dexter's best time,

kind of care, he will be able in about two
