Last Thursday night DR.. M. r.
Woodbury., of this place, received the
sad intelligence of the sudden death
Of his only son, DR.. M. III. Wood
bury, at New Bedford, Mass. The
Doctor left the next morning for New
Bedford and returned Saturday to
Whitefield with the remains, where
the funeral obseques were observed
on Sunday. The particulars of the
death Of young DR.. Woodbury., as
fastas we have learned them, are as fol-
lows: He had been stopping in New
Bedford for few weeks, from whence
he was soon to embark on voyage
by water to California. He was walk
ing apon the streat with another gen.
tleman, apparently in his usual health,
when he said to his companion, "You
walk too fast, l can't keep up" and
turned one side and leaned upon a
fence for support. He was carried in
to house and medical aid summoned.
An examination proved that he was
suffering from an affection of the heart
which it was beyond human skill to
conquer. The deceased was about 80
years of age and yonng man OF
superior talent. He was formerly q
surgeon in the Navy and was attached
/ to the revenue enter, Richard Rush,
at San Francisco.
