SUDDEN DEATH.—Many were painful-
ly startled on Thursday morning last• on
learning that Mrs. Mark Townsend had
suddenly expired atan early hour, caus-..
ed bya violent' fit of reching. Deceas-
ed had only returned from Dakota about
`a month since, owing ,to illness, and al-
though she had been ill more or less
since her return, her death was not an-
ticipated for a moment.. She, was the
eldest daughter of the. late William Row-
ell, formerly of this place; and up to the
time of her marriage, which took place
about six months ago, she had been a
resident of Clinton.: Having been -a
member of the Methodist church chair,'.
and taking :part more or less in all Servi-
ces connected therewith, and being ofan
agreeable disposition, she ' had made
a largenumber of friends, who deeply
regret her untimely death. 'Her hus-
band
usband'. had only returned. 'to Daokta
about:a week; .when•be was called back:
by the sad intelliaet ce of ' her death''
arriving here .on Sunday evening after,
-driving allthe way from London. A.
notable feature in connection with her
is the fact that on her appearance ,into
this :'world, ' Mrs. E. Dinsley dressed
her for the„.first time and the same lady
performed the'Iaat sad rites in the pre-
paration of bei body for the grave.
Her remains were kept until Monday,
(Mr. Townsend not being able to get
here sooner) and followed to their resting'
,place in the cemetery ,by a large 'num-
ber of •sorrowing friends. Mr.Townsend
has the heartfelt sympathy of his muny'
acquaintances.
