28. The Burgesses gave a ball for charity, in which $1,200 was realized above expenses.........John Dickson died, aged 59. Prominent among

the older citizens of Albany, few men were more widely known or more highly respected than the subject of this sketch. Born in the county of Peebleshire, Scotland, he came to this country when quite a young man. Engaging in business in Quebec, he resided there but a short time until a visit to the city of Albany determined him upon making it the city of his adoption and his future home. For more than thirty years with a brief interregnum spent in the city of New York, he abided here, where he gained the respect of his fellow citizens, won many warm friends, and established a name distinguished for its sterling honesty, its incorrupti ble integrity, and its unobtrusive worth. Well known for his benevolence, conspicuous only in befriending the needy, and alleviating the distressed, he held many important offices in most of our charitable institutions. He was for several years president of the St. Andrew's Society in the welfare of which he took the deepest interest-and for a long period, up to his decease, was one of its most active members, and influential managers.

Extensively known throughout the state among prominent Scotchmen, his name was held in especial regard, and cherished with a degree of veneration characteristic of that clanish people, who revere qualities of head and heart calculated to awaken their admiration and foster their respect. He also filled with honor to himself and credit to the masonic order, the high and responsible position of master of Temple lodge. He had retired from business but a short time, his failing health compelling him to relinquish the pursuits of active life.

4. Air, h. 23, 1. 20...... .One of the most enthusiastic demonstrations made in this city in a long while, occurred at Tweddle Hall last evening. That immense edifice was densely crowded with the sons and daughters of temperance, attracted thither from all sections of the city. The several lodges, appropriately officered and attired in regalias, were in attendance. The banner of the cause was suspended on the staging, and many distinguished citizens were present. The scene presented was one to command the admiration of all beholders. The temperance reform movement, inaugurated in our city with the hope of securing a more rigid excise law and an appropriate observance of Sunday by a suspension of the retail business carried upon the Lord's day in the liquor traffic, is meeting with great success. The meeting last evening was addressed by Mr. Edward. Carswell, the distinguished Canadian orator, whose eloquence was listened to with marked attention and repeatedly applauded. Action was taken to secure the passage of the law now before the legislature and the meeting adjourned. Knickerbocker......... Elizabeth P., wife of Charles Loomis, formerly of this city, died at South Windsor, aged 75.

5. Air, h. 28, 1. 25.........Clark B. Cochrane died, aged 52. Mr. Cochrane was born in Boston, N. H., on the 31st day of May, 1815. He gave early evidence of intellectual superiority, and after passing through all the schools in the immediate neighborhood of his home, he entered Union College and graduated in 1839. He immediately entered upon the study of the law, and was admitted to the bar in 1841. He began practice at Amsterdam, where he speedily acquired distinction. He was subsequently associated in business with Judge Potter, of Schenectady, and at the time of his death, with Messrs. Reynolds & Harris, of this city. He entered public life as a Democrat, and was elected to the assembly, by that party, from Montgomery county, in 1844. But he was early imbued with the spirit of freedom, and broke away from the democracy when he discovered that it was indissolubly linked to the slave power. He was nominated in 1856, for congress, as the representative of the free soil sentiment of his district, and elected. Being one of the earliest, most eloquent and effective originators of the Republican party, he was renominated to congress by that party in 1860, and triumphantly elected, after one of the severest contests which was ever known in the district. At the close of his congressional term, which included the initiation of the war, he took up his residence in this city, as a partner in the law firm of Reynolds, Cochrane &
