Sudden Death. - We are pained to learn of the death of Mr. Len
Vauclain, son of Andrew C. Vauclain, Esq., of this city, which sad
event occurred on Sunday last, in Philadelphia.  Mr. Vauclain filled
the position of Chief Engineer in the navy, at the time of his death,
having been promoted to that position by Congress, at the last
session.  Mr. Vauclain's remains were brought to this city last night
on the Fast Line and were interred this afternoon at two o'clock in
Fairview Cemetery.  His dying request was that he be interred without
any honors, to which his comrades reluctantly consented.  We
sympathize with his friends in their great loss.
