DAVID S. WILLIAMS.

  David S. Williams, a former resident of Williamsburg, died in 
Clappertown on Friday afternoon, June 4, in his 42d year.  Mr. Williams 
had been complaining for some time past, and passed away quite 
suddenly.  He asked for a drink of water, and on rising to take it, 
immediately fell back in his bed and expired.  Drs. White and Arnold 
did a post mortem on Saturday.  They found the underlying cause of his 
malady to be Bright's disease of the kidneys, which superinduced other 
affections - dropsy on the chest and disease of the heart.  On the 
inside the heart had grown a leather-like excrescence of considerable 
length and width.  Mr. Williams was a good citizen, respectably 
connected, and will mourned by a large circle of friends.
