Sudden Death.-On Wednesday of last week, 21st., inst., Mr. Charles P. DANIELS, of Stafford, died suddenly in an epileptic fit. The Le Roy 'Courier' says "he had not been feeling very well for some days, and on the morning of his death was about starting for Batavia to procure some medicine. About 8 o'clock he complained of pain in the head, and going to the house lay down on the lounge. His wife was in the cellar, but was called by the hired girl. Almost immediately upon her entering the room he threw up his hands, apparently in a spasm or fit, and with his wife's name upon his lips, passed into a state of unconsciousness from which he never recovered." + Linden. Burglars at Work.-One night last week the grist mill of J.W. BOSWORTH was entered through a window, and 75 cents and a sack of flour carried away. On the same night the ware house of Wm. E. KEMP was entered, and the desk pried open, but no valuables found. Also, on the same night, an attempt was made to enter the store of DURGEE & HUGGINS by abstracting a window, but Charlie sleeps in the store, and while the burglars were at work at the window, he fired a shot at them from his revolver, which somewhat flustrated[sic]their designs, for they became non est comatibus immediately. An attempt was made on the same window in June, and a shot fired, at that time with the same result, of which no public mention was made. Charlie is plucky, and burglars had better beware, or they may get marked. J.W. BOSWORTH's barn was burglarized of a one-horse harness last Saturday evening. No clue. + Bergen.

Mr. Albert ROWE of this place has just returned from New York, having made his annual visit for the purpose of purchasing goods for the winter trade, and judging from the many boxes just arrived he must have found a large quantity of goods both pleasing to the eye and to suit the purse of the masses.
