sSuDpEN pEiTH-Mr. ]. BURLINGTON, an old and
respected citizen was found dead in his gunsulith
shop on Church street, nearly opposite our office,
yesterday afternoon about half-past two o'clock.
When found life was entirely extinct although he
could not have been dead long. BE appears to
have been attacked with palpitation of the heart
disease to which he was subject, while at work at
his bench and to have fallen Immediately upon the
floor. Conscious that the hand of death was upon
him. and that he was unable to give the alarm, the
old man, with extraordinary presence of mind
wrote the word "Palpitation" on the floor where he
lay that his friends might be in no doubt as TO the
cause of his sudden demise, while alone in his shop
HIS funeral will take place this afternoon from
the residence of his son-in1law, JESSE Collins Jr,
