By telegraph we have been informed of the death of Prof. Larned of Yale college. The following are the circumstances:
As three men were passing the Canal railroad, near the old burying ground, New Haven, about five o’clock on Monday evening, they discovered the body of William A. Larned, professor of rhetoric and English literature, of Yale College, lying upon the ground, partially covered with snow. He was immediately conveyed to his residence and Drs. Townsend and Bishop sent for. Remedies usually resorted to in cases of apoplexy [were] tried, but without any beneficial result. Professor Larned expired shortly before six o’clock, about an hour after he was found. He was 54 years of age, and for twenty years had been prominently connected with Yale College. He was very active in the affairs of the university, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him.
