SUDDEN DEATH.-On Thursday morn
ing last. Mr.. Thomas Peters of Bluehill,
Was found dead By his bedside. He had
been about his business rs usual the day
and evening before. but for some days had
been complaining of feeling unwell lie
retired to his room between 8 and 10
O'Clock, undressed and Went to bed. But
some time In the night he arose, and light
ed his lamp, and took u skein of yarn from
an adjoining room, made slip moose with
it around his neck, and passed the end over
the bed-post, aud threw himself from the
bed. When found, his knees aid hands
were restilg upon the floor, but he was
dead.
Mr.. Peters was about 35 years of age,
son of Daniel Peters, and was expecting
to be married soon. He was young man
of kind heart and upright life. generally
cheerful, and always ready to do a deed OF
kindness. No cause is known to exist for
the fatal deed. His death under any cir
cumslances would have been a deep attic
ton to his aged parents, who relied upon
him for support, to considerable extent,
but the aill,cton comes, in this way, with
double severity.
