sudden death that occurred in that town.
ship aboEs two weeks ago. It was that of
David Davis, an unmarried man of 90
years of age, who lived at the family resi-
dence about two miles south of Alexan-
dfia.D Onthe day Of his death, deceased had
lust arisen from his dinner in apparent
good health, filed his pipe with tobacco
and walked to the porch, sat down, and in
. few moments dropped over and gave up
hislifs without an indication of pain or q
motion to point to the seat of his disease.
The general health of the deceased was al
ways good; in his whole life he was never
known to have laid in bed for half day
from sickness. His mother, with whom he
resided, has been widow twenty-four
years, and through all his life he had been
remarkable for his thoughtfulness as oher
wants, and for his anxious concern for
the interests of the family. The loss of
such son and brother is truly an afiic-
