Mrs. James Tuorxtonof Penacook, near Concord, N. H., aged thirty five years, met her death on the 29th of Jan., in a strange manner.

She seemed, | however, to have mostly recovered from the | effect of the accident until the morning of the 29th, when she was seized with a fit of vio- lent spasms, in one of which she died.
