We were, Saturday morning, grieved to hear
of the decease of Mr.. ARENAS Putnam of this
city. Mr.. Putnam removed from Cambridge,
Mass, and came to this city in the year 1s47,
and commenced business as grocer with the
late w. G. Osborne, on Middle near the corner
of Exchange (then Court) street. He soon af-
ter entered into business on his own account,
and so continued until the time of his decease.
OF Mr.. P. it may truly be said that he was the
''noblest work of God"-an honest man. In
all the relations of life he was exemplary to
the fnll degree, and in all his transactions with
his fellow men during the many years he has
been with us, not one can reproach his memory
by accusations OF ingratitude, dishonesty or de-
csit Though not occupying position directly
calling the attention of the public TO his genu--
inc intrinsic worth, yet he filled his allotted
sphere with fidelity and zeal, and won the re-
spect and admiration of his fellow men for his
probity and uprghtness of character. Unob-
trusive and unassuming to remarkable
degree. he pursued the even tenor of his way
in the course of that strict duty marked out,
and never suffered himself to be swerved from
the path of recttude by the hopes of future
gain or reward. He leaves many friends VINO
knew his value, who will sincerely mourn his
loss, but no man who can with truth say ought
i'll of him. TRIBUTE.
