SUDDEN DEATH
We regret to state that Mr. John BOXER, of the Customs, died suddenly on Sunday last. Deceased was appointed landing waiter here about six months since and was an excellent officer. On Saturday he complained of a slight headache, and went to bed for a rest. Becoming worse. Dr. ENSOR was called in, and a soothing draft was administered. Next day, however, it was seen that Mr. BOXER was growing much worse, and that earthly aid could not avail him. The immediate cause of death was disease of the heart. Deceased was the only son of Capt. J. BOXER, of the Union Company’s steamer Briton, and was much respected by all who knew him. His remains were removed to their last resting place in St.Mary’s urial ground yesterday afternoon, attended by his brother officers and several friends.
