Sudden death.

-- The Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Observer announces the death of Mrs. Jane Sexton, on the road between Greensboro and Tuscaloosa, while journeying in the stage coach. The driver having to pass over a very rough place in the road, and fearing that he might upset, suggested to Mrs. S., that she had better get out of the stage. He accordingly assisted her out, when, strange to say, she died almost immediately after leaving it.
