'' A Scandinavian named Peter Larsen died quite suddenly last evening at Mrs Yaughan's Meanee Hotel. Larsen. had been working for Mrs Vaughan as a laborer, and having been unwell for some time, Sister Joseph recommended him to go into the hospital for treatment. This he intended to do, but last evening, about 6 o'clock, while he was walking about the hotel, he suddenly fell down and expired. Information of the circum stance was given to Dr Hitchings, but as the man had been ailing, and there are no suspicious circumstances in con nection with his death, it is not likely that an inquest will be held.
