Mrs. AURORA BARNES, a highly esteemed lady, wife of the late REUBEN BARNES, living near Sugar Run, died suddenly Saturday af ternoon last. Mrs B. was about GO years of age and in the enjoyment of fair health at the time of her sudden death, which occurred as she was preparing to go to the village with her son, he having got ready, called for her at her room and found life nearly extinct. Her mother, Mrs. Spring, aged nearly 93 died suddenly at the house of Mrs. BARNES, sit ting in her chair, some two weeks ago. The mother and daughter having died in so sudden a manner, from natural causes—heart disease probably—in same house, within about two weeks, is rather a remarkable coincidence.
