  	Barbadian Newspaper, ., November 17. Death. We have the painful duty of recording a most awful and distressing instance of sudden death in one of the most respectable families of our Island. Yesterday morning as Joshua B. Nurse Esq., only surviving son of the late Hon. J.B. Nurse, was dressing, having just ordered his horse to ride around his estate (Kirton) the unfortunate gentleman staggered and fell to the floor without any preliminary symptoms of disease - as we understand - and in a few short moments was a corpse! A post mortem examination was made and the opinion of the medical gentleman was that Mr. Nurse died of sanguineous apoplexy. The whole community will deeply sympathise with his afflicted widow and mother. The deceased was only 37 years of age. He was Adjutant General of Militia and one of H.E. the Governor's Aides-de-camp
