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.
They were both highly and respectably con
nected, being the pioneer settlers of that sec
tion of the county.
PROF. FORD'S LECTURE.— The almost in

the inclemency of the weather to keep them
away, enjoyed a rich treat. No diseription
of Professor FORD'S admirable lecture, before
the literary and scientific societies of the
Susquehanna Collegiate Institute, would
do it justice. To be appreciated it must be

Travel,*' and entirely free from pedantry and
mannerism, too often displayed by those of
fewer acquirements. lie is certainly a suc
cess as a lecturer, and if we may judge from
his theory, is a model educator. The Elmira
College is peculiarly fortunate in having such
a man for its principal.
After the lecture strawberries and ice cream
were served in the hall, for the benefit of the
College societies, and a goodly number re
mained to partake of the refreshments.
