McBride’s Photograph Of Thos. Hickey.—We saw this morning a photograph of Mr Thomas Hickey in Esquimaux costume, taken at Mr. McBride’s Gallery. It is the best specimen of this style of art that we have ever seen in this city, and we doubt whether it could be excelled in the country. Mr. Hickey informs us that he has had pictures taken in Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York, but that none of them have equalled the one taken by Mr. McBride.

Obituary. The death of Henry McBride, which occurred at his residence, on Beaver street, at an early hour on Sunday morning, removes an upright citizen and a well known man. The deceased had been in failing health for some time past, and while it was known that his condition was serious his many friends hoped that he would still be able to conquer the destroyer. However, the complication of diseases which ensued on Saturday placed the patient’s recovery beyond all hope. Mr. McBride was born in this city about fifty-three years ago. His education was obtained in the public schools, and fore a number of years he, together with his brother Edward, was engaged in the business of photography, which he continued successfully for a number of years. He manifested a lively interest in politics, and for many years had been one of the most active workers in the Republican ranks of the sixth ward during the year 1866 and 1867 he served as city marshal, having been appointed by the Common Council to succeed A. Cuyler Ten Eyck. He next served as deputy superintendent of the almshouse for several years. Meanwhile he had started in the grocery business with his brother, Thomas, at the corner of Grand and Hamilton streets, which was carried on uninterruptedly until the death of the latter about three years ago. During Governor Dix’s term the deceased served as his private messenger, and by his uniform courtesy and attention to those who had business at the executive chamber made many friends. Last fall Mr. McBride again embarked in the grocery business, together with his son William, and was so engaged at the time of his death. The deceased leaves a widow and seven children—two sons and five daughters. Of a singularly happy disposition, kind and courteous, with charity for all and malice towards none, Mr. McBride had hosts of friends and no enemies. The stricken relatives will have sincere sympathy in their irreparable loss. The funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon at two o’clock, from the late residence of the deceased on Beaver street.
