GEORGETOWN, August IL, 1857.
An individual by the name of Tommy, an Irish
man by birth, died suddenly yesterday evening,
about O'Clock, in one Of the small frame tene-
mentS near the Bridge street bridge, on the Wash
ingtOn side. IL appeared from the testimony be-
fore the coroner's inquest, that he had been en-
pioyed upon the waterworks, and came down ON
the Eth instant to get his pay. Up to the time
before mentioned, he appeared TO be in good
health, but, willie sitting at the supper-table,
complained OF sickness at the stomach, got up,
and took a seat in the door, where he died almost
Immediately. Coroner Woodward held the in
quest, and the verdict rendered was, {" that he
came to his death from some cause unknown 20
