A CRAsH.-On Sunday last, as we learn
from gentleman living in the neighborhood,
McDonalds Bridge at Bear River, on the
road between Sacramento and Nevada, came
down with crash. A teamster. with a
wagon loaded with shingles and drawn by
four yoke of oxen, and having led horse fas-
tened behind, was crossing, when a span of
the bridge ffty-eight feet high, and directly
over the middle of the river, gave way, and
fell into perfect mass of ruins The water
was about thirty feet deep where the team
fell Strange to say, neither oxen, horse,
wagon nor man sustained the least injury.
The driver no sooner struck the water than
he commenced clambering over the timbers
swimming around in the water, unyokng the
oxen and driving them out. The bank at the
point named is very steep and rocky, and it
was with difficulty that he could get the ami
mails ashore. The wagon will have to be
taken out piece meal, and the job will be a
pretty serious one. 1t will probably be de-
layed till the water falls
This bridge was built in 1855, and cost
1880. The timbers were not screwed up.
We understand, as they should have been,
and this omission, which was nothing but
sheer neglect, is the cause of the catastrophe

IMPRovEMENT.-J. Stoddard and William
Graham, of Bear river, have recently bought
half interest in the Frontroyal Grist Mills
on the stream mentioned and, conjointly with
the balance of the owners. design making
improvements in the building and minor
works Immediately Messrs. Stoddard and
Mcdonald are now on their way to San
Francisco for the purchase of machinery
They expect to lay out about $4,000 for this
purpose. The work would have been done
sometime ago, but for the fact that the suit
of Mcdonald vs. The Bear River and Auburn
Ditch Company, and involving the question
as to which party was entitled to the water,
had not been decided. The case has recently
been determined in favor of Mcdonald, and
there is no longer any obstacle in the way Of
running the mills.

ENGLISH EDToRs.-Some ex Know No
thing Lecomptonites make q great fuss be-
cause John White, the editor of that staunch
Douglas paper, the San Francisco News, is
an Englishman. Well, we don't know that
being an Englishman is any disgrace, but, if
it is, IN the eyes of ex-Know Nothing Le-
comptonites, what do they think of the pres,
ent editor of the Presidents organ at Wash
ington, Mr.. Brown lie is an Englishman
by birth, and probably a monarchist in be-
lief, or he would not advocate Lecompton-
ism, whereas the editor of the San Francisco
News is a Democrat in the largest sense, be-
lieving as he does fully and completely in the
sovereignty of the people

A DwARF.-We are informed that the ne
gro wench, living with Mrs Jasper in this
county, about whose suicide SO much has
been said, was poor dwarf, not more than
or 81 feet high. Some heartless being,
whose name was revealed by the dying girl
but has been concealed from the public Sc
duced her, and her ondition became appar-
ent to her mistress. Mrs. Jasper had always
been very kind to her, and her rebuke went
home to the unfortunates heart. In her
rough and stunted form, which seemed a
living burlesque on humanity, there dwelt
an exceedingly delicate and sensitive SOUL
She could not bear the grief which she oc-
casioned her mistress, could not bear her re.
proving frown, and chose to hurry herself
out of the world A less sensitive nature
would have felt or cared nothing perhaps for
the disgrace, but, the poor dwarf where
could she fly or what could she do? Her
little world was with her mistress-there
she had always lived, hid like a shrinking
mollusk in its shell-she could not 90 abroad
to be jeered at for her pigmy, uncouth form
and strange appearance. Either she must
do this, a weak and unprotected thing, OF
remain under the eyes of her mistress, hel
burning disgrace and never-ending conscious
ness of shame crushing her feebleness to tho
very earth She chose to die, aud bravely
did she do the deed Is it not a Christian
feeling to hope that He, who sees the spar
row fall. may have given that poor, heart
broken dwarf place in his wide realms
above, where no paralysing hand can war;
the newborn soul in its growth or mar it,
fair proportions? Do we say too much
think you, good reader, for this unfortunat,
step.child of Nature, this miserable being o.
a despised racer Think you that the curse
which was upon her birth and which sent
her forth into the world a pitiable carcaturC
upon humanity, to be commiserated, laughed
at or scorned, attached itself to the God
gwen and immortal soul that breathed with.
