Mr. J. Numa Avegno, a prominent and respected citizen of New Orleans, died yesterday morning at his late residence, in Hospital street. He had been in bad health for some time past and had been confined to his home during the past month.

He was a member of the Cotton Exchange and a director in many of the leading corporations of this city. He succeeded the late Joseph Hernandez as president of the New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Company, which position he retained for several years. He was also identified as a director with the old slaughter-house company, the Ponchartrain Railroad and several other corporations.
