The Wilmingtonian, And Delaware Register

A young man by the name of Ephraim Dart, of Royalton, in the state of New-York, had been paying his addresses to a young lady in his neighborhood, and the 29th ult. was fixed upon for their wedding. He paid a visit to her the previous Sunday evening, apparently in the full enjoyment of health--with the prospect of long life, and in the pleasing anticipation of the approaching period, which would enhance his earthly happiness by a union with the object of his affections. As he arose to depart, he turned around as if to wish her good evening and dropped down dead upon the floor! Thus has an anticipated occasion of joy and gladness, been made a season of mourning, and she that was to have been attired as the happy bride, is now clothed in the sable vestment, which, bespeaks but faintly the anguish of her heart.
