SUDDEN DEATH.—The community were stat tied on Tuesday afternoon by the sudden and entirely unexpected death of Mr Geo. Bowers. It seems that in the morning he had gone to Dr. Shaw for some medicine, .tnd as he went out of the door he slipped, striking his head heavily . on the stone step, rendering him unconscious; he was carried Into the doctor's office, where he remained until he had ap- parently recovered. Starting for hone he had gone into Tedford's blacksmith shop. where he was over- come by pain and lay down. Calling for assistance, the employees came to his aid and found him suffering in- tensely, but quite conscious. A sleigh was procured to convey him home, and while he was being tenderly carried thereto, he died without a struggle. Death was the result of hemorrhage. ci,used by concussion of the brain. Deceaned had resided here for about 30 years, and was a native of New York state, where his father. sister and brother still reside, and owing to ill- ness it was imposstble for any of thea to attend thefuneral. he Was a paint- er by trade. About two years ago his wife, a sister of Mr Jos. Copp, died. He leaves a family of five sons and three daughters. He was not a mem- ber of any of the trad1br•nal societies.
