Death of an old citizen. The venerable Archibald Pleasants, for many years a member of the old and highly respectable firm of Ralston & Pleasants, and one of the oldest inhabitants of the city, died suddenly yesterday morning. He was in the eighty-fifth year of his age, and had previously given no indications of ill health. .

Mr. Pleasants came to this city about the year 1795, and with the exception of a short sojourn in Jamaica, when he was a very young man, he has resided in it ever since. He dissolved many years ago.

Sudden death of an old citizen. --About half-past 9 o'clock yesterday morning, Mr. Archibald Pleasants, an old and much-respected citizen of Richmond, fell dead on Main street in front of the Exchange Bank. He was in good health up to the moment of his death, and partook of his breakfast, as usual, previous to starting down to his place of business, at the Merchants' Insurance Office, on the corner of Main and Twelfth streets. Upon reaching the Treasury building, he stopped a few minutes to talk with a friend, and then continued on down the street, but had hardly proceeded a square before the mortal coil that bound him to this earth was cut asunder and his soul was launched into eternity. Soon after the occurrence his remains were carried to his residence, on Fifth street, between Franklin and Grace.
