Sudden Death.

The wife of Sereno W. Adams died suddenly on Thursday of last week.--She was of consumptive habit, but on the day preceding her death had been about her household duties as usual. About midnight she woke her husband with a violent fit of coughing, during which it is supposed she ruptured a blood vessel, as hemoraage [sic] from lungs set in which in an hour carried her off.
