SUDDEN DEATH.—Last Saturday afternoon occurred the sudden death of Mrs. Bell of this village. She had been at work as usual during the forenoon, and having a somewhat late dinner ate a very hearty meal about one o'clock. At this time Mr. Bell left the house for the store. About two o'clock the little daughter Fanny ran into Mr. Penoyar's, across the street, and summoned assistance for her mother; Going immediately, she was found on the floor in the bed room as she had fallen, and insensible. She placed on the bed and Dr. Brown was quickly summoned, but all efforts to resuscitate her were fruitless, and she never spoke afterwards, though she continued to breath an hour or more. The little girl states that her mother was at work in the kitchen and all at once rushed into the bed room, toiling her to bring a basin and some water, but had no sooner got into the room than she fell down in the position she when Mrs. Penoyar came in. After being placed on the bed she vomited copiously.
