         Sudden Death - MR. HENRY WATSON, who kept a boarding
        house on the corner of Main and Toledo streets, was
        found last night about 9 o'clock, on the sidewalk in
        fron of the residence of MRS. SAM. BROWN, on Maumee
        street, in a dying condition. He was first discovered
        by WM. TYLER, machinist, who, while approaching the
        place, heard groaning. As the night was quite dark,
        MR. TYLER ran across the street to THOMAS DAVIS', to
        procure a light and assistance. On returning to MR.
        WATSON he was found still breathing, and his face was
        quite livid. MR. TYLER, with the assistance of MR.
        DAVIS, raised him up, when in a few moments he ex-
        pired. MR. WATSON was a large, heavy man, an English-
        man by birth, sixty years of age, and temperate in
        his habits. It is presumed that his death was caused
        my apoplexy.  - He was not known to have been out of
        health, and he left his house in the early part of
        the evening to do some business at the depot, ap-
        parently feeling as well as usual. MR. WATSON form-
        erly resided in Blissfield, where he kept a public
        house. - He came to this city about three years ago,
        and for a time kept a boarding house near the depot,
        since which he has kept the boarding house at the
        corner of Main and Toledo streets. He leaves a widow,
        and was the father of a large family of children.
