The Sioux City Register contains an &C.
count OF the drowning OF tive sisters Mrs.
Margaret Martin and Miss Nancy Butler, at
Smithfeld, Woodbury. county, Iowa, on tho
18th of August. The Register states that
there were four sisters, ell OF whom went into
the river to battle, at the time Of the sad oc.
ourrence. "The four sisters playfully Joined
hands and advanced into the stream, but had
proceeded only short distance when two of
them returned. Scarcely had they turned
around, when they heard scream, and look
ing they beheld their sisters struggling with
the current, which rapidly bore them down.
They rushed to their aid and were in turn
overpowered by the current, but finally, and
almost mlraculously, effected their escape,
while the two above named, who, "a MON emit
before, were in the enjoyment of all that
makes life happy, sank TO rise no more. The
body of one Of the unfortunate victims was
recovered the same evening and the other the
next morning, noar the place where the acci-
