We learn with much regret. thata serious &C
cident occurred this morning at the corner of
Beiydere and Saratoga streets-a cart con-
tanning two females, was proceeding down
the former street, when tie horse took fright and
in attempting to turn round the corner, came ia
contact with the curb stone and threw both The
women violently into the street-one of them
falling against the curbstone with so much force
as 10 be instantly killed. The other was serious
