psa" A terrible accident occurred atthe Cumber-
land river railroad bridge, last Friday afternoon,
resulting in the drowning of three men, and the
injury ofsome two three others, one of whom had
both of his legs brokenl 1t seems that large iron
cords or wires, had been stretched from the first
span of the bridge to the pier for the purpose OF
carrying over timbers for the draw-span and,
while the workmen (nne in number), were upon
this temporary structure, it gave way on one side,
throwing the men Off and turning the heavy tim
berS over upon them in their fall
The man whose legs were broken was removed
to house in the neghborhood, and amputation of
both lcgs-one above and the other below, the
knec-was found necessary. Doctors McReynolds
and Tyler performed the operation. We have not
heard their opinion as to the chances ofhs recove-
ry. The bodies of two of the drowned men have
been found.
Since the above mentioned accident another,
similar in its character has occurred at the same
place This was ON Monday last, about p. m.
The iron rods again gave way, as in the first in
stance, precipitating the workmen into the river
below. Some Of them were pretty badly hurt, but
none we are glad to say, were killed, or fatally in
jured

being absent, his lady did the honors Of the table
in graceful style. Near Mr.. SCOTS residence is q

Rev. Edwin Roberts, Of our county, through whose
instrumentality it was erected. It is here we see
the theatre of portion of his successful but sh,rt
ministerial career. His remains lie entombed, ner
by, at the old homestead of Capt. T. Scott who ais,
has passed away. We visited the homestead, an,

By The editor Of the Springfield Spectator says
that on recent trip to Nashville, he met on the
cars Messrs. Faxon and Breed, Of The ClarksYile
Jegersonian. We suppose, of course, that this an
norncement was made "on authority" since we do
not think our friend Breed looks bad enough to be
accused of that but upon positive information This
being 50, the vexed question, "who is the localP" is
settled, and we not only welcome Mr.. B. to our
ranks but congratulate him upon the distinction be
has won, tacog. Some Of his essays, such as that
upon "March and April " Z" Tom Watsons Tub and
ISLANDER" are gems that McCauley, or Hood, or
Tom Hyer might not blush to own.
