John W. Audubon . . .

. . . the last of the sons of the celebrated naturalist, died at the family residence on Washington heights, near New York, last week.  He inherited much of the taste and talent of his father, and was engaged in bringing out a new edition of the birds of America when arrested by the hand of death.
