iowa CRY MILL CoMPANy.-We have neg

enterprise Of the citizens Of Iowa City, IN as.
sociating together under the above style, fol
the purpose Of building dam across the Iowa
river, and the erection Of mills and other roa.

made by authority Of the company, it is ascer.
tanned that fall of fifteen feet can be had a,
the city q. a cost triAing in comparison with
It's value. Stock to the amount of $4,000

men, the greater par, Of which is to be paid in
labor aLd materials. The work has been com.
menced in good earnest. 10000 #. Of squar-
ed timber is already on the ground, and large
number Of hands constantly engaged in prose.
cutting the work.
From the promp,i,ude with which the sub.
scribers to the stock have met the acquisitions
OF the articles Of association, it is expected
that saw and Touring mill will be pu. in op.
e1ati1n at the dam the present season and it
is the intention Of the company to bring the
water from the dam 10 the front Of the city,
and there cree, extensive mills and other ma.
chinery so soon as the labor can be performed,
which will require sevefal mon,hs. As the
rive: affords al abundance Of water. AM the
site selected for the dam admirably ADAPTED
10 that purpose, we confidently believe the day
is not far distant when cur neighboring town

J. G.. BENNETT. ESQ.,
DEAR SIR
Our shore this morning has been the scene of a
most melancholy occurrence. The greatest conso-
lation have, is, that instead of being compelled to
record the death of one only it was not three.
Mr.. T. Wagner. OF Philadelphia, Mrs. Montgo-
merry, Of New York, and Mr. William Montgomery,
the brother-in.law Of the lady, with a number Of
otheriboarders in my house, all went into the surf,
as usual, this morning to battle. From what cause
cannot say, bat the three persons above named,
left our bather, ]. w. Morris, Chan whom there
cannot be a safer or more competent many and con-
trary to his express cautions, waded out through
the surf, until they were carried out beyond their
depth.
The alarm was Immediately given, and boat
launched through heavy sea- Mrs. Montgomery
and Mr.. Wagner were most fortunately rescued,
and now are dong well-but Mr.. Montgomery,
save for an instant, has not been seen since first
carried beyond his depth.
In great haste,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES GREEN.
