i\lR. T. E. Shears, chief inspector at Denver, Col., has called our attention to an
article on photography which appeared in Blackicood's Magazine for April, 1842. It is
highly interesting reading, in view of the position photograpliy now holds, though it
must have been dampening to the ardor of the entliusiasts of half a century ago. We
shall reproduce it in an early issue.
Mr. John W. Lauterbach, a well-known and highly respected citizen of Colum-
bus, Ohio, died at his home on September 18th, from the effects of a severe cold con-
tracted at the time of the Metropolitan Opera House fire in that city. Mr. Lauterbach
was a member of the insurance firm of Lauterbach & Eilber, and was the Columbus
agent for a number of years of the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance
Company. He was born in Klimengiis, in Hesse-Kassel, on June 16, 1834, and in his
twentieth year he came to this country and established himself in business in Columbus.
He was an estimable gentleman, and he will long be remembered by a wide circle of
friends
