SUDDEN DEATH MIR. George Ransom,
teacher of Columbia School-the public school
at Arlington, in this county-soon after the
hour of dismissal yesterday afternoon, and be-
fore all the pupils had left the school-room,
complained to some of them of violent pain
10 his temple, and of burning sensation at
the back OF his neck. They asked him If they
should = for the doctor, but he said mo, 1t
was an attack Of vertigo, which be thought
would soon wear off. !" Seeing, however, that
he was growing worse, one OF them ran for
Dr. Smith, who lived short distance off, but
before the doctor arrived the patient for whom
he was sent was dead. The deceased was from
New York, but had married Miss Crocker, OF
Alexandria county, and 10 addition to his
school at Arlington, taught music at Vienna
aud at Falls Church, for which latter place he
was just starting when he received the apop-
Iecllc stroke that killed him. His body was
laid out in the school house, from whence 1t
will be removed TOR lntermeut to Vienna to
morrow.
