CALAMITY AT CEDAR RAPIps, Iowa Welearn
from the Cedar Rapids Democrat the particulars
of most distressing calamity at that place. on
Friday week The magnificent free bridge rc-
Gently constructed over Cedar river was swept
away by the flood and ice, causing the death of
two young ladies whowere endcavoring to cross
it, The Democrat says:
At about a quarter before six o'clock, two
young ladies, sisters named Nancy and Eliza
Black, aged respectively 16 and 90 years, only
daughters of Joseph Black, who resides on the
west side of the river, starteto cross the bridge
They were warned of the danger, but being anx-
ious to reach home, and apprchenSive, perhaps,
peril, they commenced running, hoping soon to
be out of the reach of danger. just as they,
reached the then defective portion of the bridge,
the pier gave way, and the two arches of the
superstructnrc which II supported fell with
great crash. The two unfortunate ladies were
Preclpltated into the rapid stream below, and
instantly disappeared beneath the floating mass
OF ice, and the wreck of timbers from the
bridge Il is probable that they were crushed
ny the falling timbers, rs they never rose to the
surface. Scores of people who witnessed the
scene from either bank, wereappalled, and could
scarcely relixe that two human beings had thus
suddenly been deprived of life; while the pallor
on every countenance, told the shock to their
isehngS oil humanity. What seemed worse
tnan al was that although the unfortunate per-
sons We're almost within reach, no human aid
could De rendered, or could have ayailed any
talng. 1nelr bodies have not been recovered.

FAMINE AND BLooDsHED IN NEDARsxA.-The
Missouri Democrat learns from gentleman who
recently arrived from Council Bluffs, that the
people of the various towns on the river above
St. Joseph, were destitute, not only of the lux
uries, but many of the necessities of life. As
the steamer St. Mary passed along, eager crowds
FASTENED on board at every landing, for the pur-
pose of purchasing portions of her cargo that
might be for sale. Several persons who went
up with her had provided themselves for such
demands, and realized large profits on their ven
lures. The Democrat learns further, that four
men were shot ut Plattsmouth, n T., on Satur-
day evening, March 10Th, by the orders or hands
of the vigilance committee, and that five others
were banished by the same party, from Nebras-
ka, across the river, and forbidden to return to
the territory under pain of death, if caught
Their offence was claimjumping.

a WRITER in the New York Tines, gives the
interesting intelligence, that Mr. Henry Stevens,
of Vermont agent of the Smithsonian institute
in Paris, has discovered collection of four
thousand letters, wholly in the handwriting of
Dr. Franklin. The writer says:
IA great many of them were written from
Plassy near Paris. 1t is not generally known
that Franklin Invented the manifold copying ink
and press, now i'll such general mercantile use,
where fac-simile of each letter is Immediately
transferred into book oftissue paper. Frank
lin kept duplicates taken III this manner, of all
his letters, public and private The prime cost
of the collection was 81 ,O0Obut Mr.. Stephens
went to the further heavy cost of having the
whole of them sorted, repaired mounted and
handsomely bound in Russian leather They
are indGxed also. Many ofthc letters had be.
come illcgible from age and damp, hut such,
carefully laid on highly glazed Bristol board,
were passed ander heated metallic rollers with
great pressure, which has quite restored the
