Sudden Death of an Estimable Lady.

  Yesterday morning this community was shocked with the intelligence of 
the sudden decease of Mrs. Catharine Potter, widow of the late George 
Potter.  At a few minutes before one o'clock this estimable lady 
breathed her last.  She had been ill but a short time, and her sickness 
was not thought to be serious.  Deceased was born in Frederick county, 
Maryland, on the 15th of September, 1811.  Six of her children have 
already died, while five sons and two daughters survive her.  She was a 
consistent member of the Lutheran Church.  Relations in the west have 
been telegraphed the intelligence, and the date of the funeral will 
depend upon their arrival here.
