Mrs. Harmon, an old lady about seventy or over, died Feb. 4, at the home of Mr. J. Harmon, in Howard Center, She was found in bed quite unconscious after having been about the yard and house and expired shortly after, as the information comes to us. Probably the result of over-exertion and fatigue.
