" Death rides on every passing breeze And lurks in every Rower "

IS a gentiment brought is our minds with almost the arrow's swiftness, as we are suddenly con-fmnted with the announcement that Ex-Alderman William Sauer is dead.

But yesterday, in the prime of life, with the bloom of health, and at the noontide only of his honorable aspirations, his genial face graced our Council Board. To-day, through the interposition of Controlling Power, he lies enshrouded in the habiliments of the grave, and we feel deeply sensible of the void occasioned by his death. " Like a flower he is cut down." No more shall we behold his manly form in life ; no more shall hear his voice in council and debate. He has been sum-moned to a higher tribunal, at which his many virtues we trust shall procure him reward.

Sorrowing wife and relatives bewail their loss, and our hearts are saddened almost beyond utterance. Hosts of friends, attracted by his unswerving faithfulness and fidelity, attest his worth in life, and now in death's cold stillness give expression to their meed of praise. Our sorrow is such as words fail to mitigate. Our grief is not assuaged.

We, as Aldermen of the City of New York, are now convened to give expression to this sorrow at the sudden death of one who had become endeared to us by the closest ties of association and friendship, through the prominence which a continuous term of seven years in our City Council had been given him, by the favor of an appreciative constitutency, and so recently President of the Board ; therefore

Resolved, That we deeply lament the sudden demise of Ex-Alderman William Sauer, and give public expression hereby to his rectitude of purpose in the administration of the duties of office ; to the becoming modesty of demeanor with which he bore the honors showered upon him ; to his faith-fulness in friendships and affiliations, and to his energy, perseverance, and assiduity m the peform-ance of the trusts confided him by his constituents ; firm, determined, and with strong party predilections, his conduct, nevertheless, was urbane and courteous, and excited the admiration of those in opposition. He gave promise of gathering higher honors in life, and for a still more extended career of usefulness to society.

Resolved, That our regard be further manifested by attending at his obsequies in our official character. That the chamber of this Board be continued in the drapery of mourning for thirty days.

Resolved, That our earnest sympathy, our sincere condolence, and heartfelt commiseration is herewith expressed to his grief stricken wife and sorrowing relations, in the affliction they are called to endure in the sudden death of a loving husband, a dutiful son, and affectionate relative. We commend to their consideration the sentinent that " Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal."

Resolved, That the arrangements necessary to be made be confided to a Committee of seven members of this Board with power to carry these resolutions into effect, and that an engrossed official copy of such resolutions be transmitted to his surviving relatives and friends.

Unanimously adopted by the Board of Aldermen, April 16, 1883, and Aldermen Kirk, Finck, M. Duffy, Fitzpatrick, O'Neil, Fleischbein, and Kenney were appointed as such Committee.

Approved by the Mayor, April 20, 1883.
