The numerous friends and acquaint-
ances of our well-known fellow citizen,
Mr. W. j. Turbiville, were yesterday
morning painfully startled BY the an
nouncement that he had been found dead
in bed at his boarding house, No GA North
Vine street. Tue health of Mr.. Turbiville
has not lately been very good, but his
friends had no reason to think him atfiict-
cd with q malady which would SO
Suddenly terminate his existence. A
jury of inquest, summoned by Cor
oner Brien, rendered as their judg-
ment that MIR. Turbiville came to his
death from disease of the heart, with
which he has been for long time affiict-
cd, The deceased was in the list year Of
his age, and had been q resident of Nash
vile about forty-six years. he was for a
long time connected with the building and
contracting firm of Vannoy 4 TurbiVille,
and subsequently with Turb vile d Fletch-
or, in the same line of business. He was
q good man, devoted friend, and a
worthy citizen.
