Death Of VIM. r Murray.

Mr.. VIM. F. Murray, a well known farmer
of Pomfret neighborhood, died on Saturday
night last after a short but painful! illness, oil
inflammation OF the brain. The manner in which
Mr. Murray contracted the trouble which led
to his death was caused by great imprudence on
his part At the time he was engaged in killing
his pork, he, after hanging over the cauldron
of boiling water and becoming very much over
heated. put on Ii -ht straw hat and went to
some other portion of his farm TO attend to
some work The reaction caused by the sud
den change of temperature was too much for
his system. and as his head was in close con-
tact with the steam from the boiling water,
the Inflammation set in at the base of the brain
and cau:ed his death. Mr.. Murray was peace
full, upright and conscientious citizen, and a
good neis hbor and his death will be sorely re-
GREETED by large host Of friends throughout
the county. He leaves a wife and three
children.
