Daus or AN 0171CIATING CLERGYMAN MIRING
Dlvise Sanvms.—The uncertainty of the tenute of human
life wee forcibly illustrated on Sunday last at Beaming-
bourn, in Cambridgeshire, by the decease of the oBlciating
minister when engaged in, or directly after, the celebration
of divine service. The deceased was the Rev. George
Barber, of Queen's College, Cambridge, end second master
of the Pere Grammar School there. An inquest was held
on the body on Monday, before Mr. Frederick Grain, acting
as deputy for Mr. Barlow, county coroner for the division.
Mr. Barber bad long been acting curate of Bsssingboure,
and oa Sunday morning set out on horseback from Cam-
bridge for the performance of his usual duty, observing on
the threatening appearance of the weather before starting,
and as a precaution strapping a mackintosh on the saddle
before him. There was not the slightest indicution then
that be was not in his usual good health. He went through
the service in his usual manner up to the end of the first
lemon. Whilst the choir was chanting the "Te Daum,'
sod when they had got shout half through, deceased was
observecl to be sitting instead of standing, sod continuing in
that position at the conclusion of the chanting the
servio was stopped, and deceased was found to be quite
insensible. Mr. Jenkins, surgeon, wu sent for, and de-
ceased was conveyed to a neighbouring house, put upon a
hed, and every attention shown him, but he expired within
about a quarter of an hour of his arrival, without evincing
any signs of consciousness. The jury returned a verdict
that the deceased died of serous apoplexy. A melancholy
addition to the above is that Mr. Barber's wife and family
wen absent at a watering place at the time of his death.
Mr. Barber graduated at Queen's College, Cambridge. in
1832, was formerly scholar of his College (Queen's), and was
author of a "Translation of Bose Grecian Antiquities."
