Melancholy and Distressing Accident.
While Mr. Albert Winslow and his family were returning from a wedding at Stroudwater last evening, in a two horse sleigh, we learn that the horses took fright on descending the hill near the bridge, overturned the sleigh and threw them all out with great violence, and one of the number, Miss Nancy Winslow, and only daughter of Mr. Winslow, received a fatal blow upon her head which caused her death in about eleven hours after the sad event. All in the sleigh, seven in number, were more or less injured, but none seriously, except Miss Winslow.
