JOSEPH BRADLEY, a very old man residing on Fifth street, between Court and Washington, died very suddenly Thursday. In the morning he, accompanied by one of his daughters, drove out to RENSHAW's, a tenant on the farm of HENRY KINNEY, where he was engaged the greater part of the forenoon stirring apple butter. A little after one o'clock he complained of not feeling well, and asked for a glass of water. He soon became worse and a physician was sent for, but before his arrival Bradley expired. He was never subject to any ailment of a serious character, and his death was very unexpected. The deceased was over 64 years of age, and leaves four children, all girls, his wife having died over 16 years ago. He was a day laborer, and though quite old and somewhat feeble, worked whenever opportunity offered.
