SUDDEN DEATH AT WIGTON.

Mr. Joseph SIMPSON, saddler, died very suddenly on Wednesday evening last. He had just returned to his shop after being out a short while, and complained that he was not very well. His daughter brought a little spirit in a cup, and he took a part of it.

He said he felt a fluttering of his heart, and after walking two or three times across the floor, he sat down. He looked so strange that one or two neighbours were called in. He was supported on his seat by Mr. BELL, a friend of the family, and died at once.

Mr. SIMPSON had been in business about two years, having succeeded the late Mr. William HENDERSON. He was over thrity years with the late Mr. HENDERSON, having served his apprenticeship with him, and it is very strange that his master died suddenly in the same house about three years ago.

Heart disease was the cause of death. Deceased was 48 years of age.
