A car | or two since, Curie V , a daughter ot 1'- 15 Jono-*, of Fulton, was married to a \oung man named Cotter, and subsequently removed to New York, where she ha-. resided Some five weeks since slie gave birth to a- child, and not recovering very rapidly, she concluded to go to Fulton to wilt her parent*. lfa>mg -written to her father to meet her in tlu-, city, she left Kew Yoik Ifer lather i'.ulufj; to meet, her at the depot, and there being no tram going north, -.he proceeded to the ro-idonee of lier brotlier-m-huv, on Cinal-stj eel , near i['lsiidf",treet, where she proposed to remain, and (lien jiroceed to Fulton." Klie appeared m good »pint^ during the diiy*, and la iglied antt 1 ehatled with her friends. While thus ingaged in the afternoon, and while seated in a elunr m I lie acToi" laughing, her friends were surprised to "cc her drop from her chair to the tloor, to all appearance dead.
