STRANGE. A young lady, daughter of Hon. B. P. Bailey, of Corning, died a few days since, from a singular accident. She was passing along the side-walk, when a man brushed past her, hitting her a sharp blow on the temple, probably with his elbow. The young lady fell, and the man went on without so much as looking back. Miss Bailey soon recovered sufficiently to walk home, and was apparently as well as usual for a day or two, but an attack of fever, said by the physicians to be consequent upon the blow, supervened, and the patient died.
