Mrs. VIM. P. Brewer, who has lived
mile or two above the Centre village
on the "New Boston road" died sud-
denly Tuesday night. She was in usual
health Tuesday, and in the afternoon
went out into the field strawberrying
When she returned Mr.. Brewer noticed
that she was quite pale, and remarked
about it; but Mrs. Brewer prepared
the supper as usual, and after wards
went to bed not feeling well. Late in
the evening she was in a good deal of
distress and getting up went into an
other room, where Mr.. Brewer found
her frothing from the mouth, and sue
ceeded in getting her back upon the
bed. About this time son returned
home with a team, and Mr.. Abel Wiley
and wife-near neighbors-were OBJ

unconscious, and before physician was
procured she was dead. Her age was
upwards Of so years we should judge.

in the day large number went from

day, as the contest was severe and in
human. Several commenced the race of
five hours duration, but only two or
three held out to the end. These were
terribly exhausted before the race was
ended, and could only be kept on the
ground by the assistance of those who
aided them. They fell down fainting
