PROVIDENCE, Feb. 10. We learn from Berkley, in the state of Massachusetts, that on Monday evening last, as two women and a man were riding in a sleigh, in turning out of the path to afford passage for a sled laden with wood, the sleigh overset, when one of the women, Mrs. Cudworth, of Taunton, was thrown under the feet of the oxen, which taking fright, the sled was drawn over her, whereby she was deprived of life in a few moments.—The other woman narrowly escaped, as the sled passed over and took off her roll and other head-dress.
