A wide circle of friends will hear with deep regret of the sudden death Sunday last, at Riverdale, Hampton, of Mr L. Sheldon, editor of "Everybody's Pocket Cyclopaedia," the "Writing Desk Book," and other useful reference handbooks. The deceased was in the prime life, having been born in Michigan in 1848. He was a highly-esteemed authority on American finance, and was regular writer upon economic and statistical subjects. Sheldon was personally beloved for rare sweetness of disposition. He had only a few days returned from America, where his wife, Mrs French Sheldon, is seeing through the press the book of travels descriptive of her recent adventurous journey in the interior of Africa. The sad news was cabled to her at Boston. Mr Sheldon caught cold while is the States, and death was due to heart failure, following upon attack of pleurisy.
