   SUDDEN DEATH -- On Friday night last, between 9 and 10, OWEN HOLMES ESQ., 
of Wilmington, walked out into the street a short distance from his dwelling 
accompanied by a servant, to whom he repeatedly complained of being unwell. 
the servant left him for a few moments, and when he returned, found him on the 
ground in an apoplectic fit. Assistance was immediately called for and MR. 
HOLMES removed to his house, when the remedies usual in such cases were 
applied, which had the effect of restoring him to momentary consciousness, but 
at one o'clock he died. MR. HOLMES was a lawyer of extensive practice, and at 
the time of his death a candidate for Elector on the Administration ticket. 
His loss to the community will be severely felt. He was in the 45th year of 
his age. -- Wilmington Chronicle, 10th instance.
