  ANOTHER SUDDEN DEATH. - The past winter has been prolific in sudden 
demise of many residents of this and adjoining counties.  We are again 
called upon to record the unexpected death of one of our most worth and 
industrious citizens, in the person of Adolphus Hileman, aged fifty-six 
years, which occurred on yesterday at 5 o'clock P.M., from an 
appopletic fit.  Mr. Hileman, on the day of his death, up to within a 
few minutes previous to his demise, was enjoying his usual good health, 
and promised to live to a good old age.  On that day he was passing 
along the street near Wm. Myer's blacksmith shop, where he was struck 
down, and carried into the shop and soon afterwards expired.  He leaves 
a good name, and many warm friends and relatives behind who are grief- 
stricken at this sad occurrence.
