With great regret, we announce the death of Henry A. Dreer, in Philadelphia. For a long time prominent as one of the oldest and most reliable seedsmen and dealers of that city, he also was equally prominent in his faithful support of horticultural societies and enterprises of kindred character. He was one of the most efficient supporters of the Philadelphia Horticultural Society, and acted as its treasurer for many years. Liberal to all, agreeable, cordial in personal manners, and thoroughly honest in business transactions, he was one of those rare examples of true business integrity and kindly or personal friendship which we are sadly loth to lose.

On Wednesday, December 24, a special meeting of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society was called, at Horticultural Hall, and the following resolutions were introduced by Mr. Tbos . Meehan and passed:

Resolved, That in the death of Mr. Henry A. Dreer, who for thirty-five years has been a member and for eleven years the treasurer of the society, it has lost one of its most honored and valued members, and horticulture, the love of which he has done so munch to encourage, one of its most ardent representatives, while his personal character as a man has endeared him to all his associates.

Resolved, That, as an humble tribute to a memory which we cherish, we attend his funeral in a body this afternoon, and that the secretary be directed to forward a copy of these resolutions to his family.

Bridge In prospect park, .Brooklyn. In continuation of our series of illustrated frontispieces of American parks, we issue one this month depicting scene, now somewhat famous for its artistic beauty, in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, N.Y. A little stream commencing at a small basin of water known as the Pool, flows downward, over a series of little rock-formed cascades, then over a stony or pebbly bottom; and at last empties into the larger expanse of the lake Lull Water. Over this stream, at one of its most picturesque points, is thrown this bridge, which, built in simple style, yet it is massive in masonry and elegant in finish and even outline. There are three arches which support the bridge; the upper part is intended only as a carriage-way, while underneath, at both right and left hand arches, is room for foot passers or horsemen - the path leading along the banks of the little stream.

From the lower side of the bridge is caught a pretty glimpse of the glen and the waterfall, from the Pool, and may be considered: as the most delightful scenes of the park. The bridge is lined underneath to prevent dripping of moisture from the road above, and here, by the sides of the path, are placed seats, affording a cool retreat in the heat of summer, for the visitor.

This is but the first of other sketches, which we will present in due time, of the beauties of this famous park.
