Siderd,ks.-We have been thinking
about making an argument in favor of
building sidewalks ON the principal
streets of this city; but every one who
has had aiiy pedestrianism co perform
during the past week has meta stronger
argument i'll the horiid mud which ev-
erywhere prevails than any words oi
ours could possibly prove to be. We
have almost hoped tliht the mud would
continue till the question was atiirma-
lively settled beyond doubt. But we
are glad for the assurances we lave re-
ceived during the week of the general
desire for sidewalks, and the general
willingness to crafty the desire. The
lately elected City Council has not yet
got to work but we have reason to be.
Leve that among the first of the ordi.
nances will be provision for sidewalks
So mote it be is our emphatic cxcla.

Heavy Larceny.-A peddler named
John Fisher was robbed on Sunday last
of his pocket-book containing Sl,l6O,
somewheres in the vicinity of the Ce-
dar Valley House at Cedar City. Fisher
had been OH a spree for two or three
days previous, and on Sunday he was 50
grossly intoxicated as to be wholly OBJ
livious to the circumstances connected
with his loss, and spent the greater part
of the day in carousing at saloon kept
by Henry Goody, ut Cedar City. In the
evening he missed his money ana MADE
complaint of his loss. In the morning,
his pocEet-book, containing a certificate
of deposit for $500, was picked up in the
mud, but the balance, $3.50 in green
backs, was gone. Suspicion was excited
in reference to two men who were in
his company on Sunday, and they were
arrested. They gave their names as
Culver and Forbes, and were, as we un-
derstand, respectable citizens of Ben
nington township. They We're brought
before Justice, Mcclure where they
waived an examination and were held
to bail in the sum of 81 200 each for
their appearance at the next term OF
the District Court of this county to an
swer the charge. They were both COM
mitted in default of bail, but we are in
formed that Culver has procured his
bail and is now at liberty. Fisher was
also held to bail to appear as witness
and deposited 500 as security. :.

High Wdter.-I.ast Saturday the wa
ter in the Cedar river commenced rising
rapidly, and continued to rise up to
"Wednesday evening, when it begun to
go down, and up to this writing Thurs
day EVENING" has continued To fall slow
ly. The water did not reach as high a
stage by some two or three feet as it did
three years ago; but has been high
enough in all goodness. That portion
of the city called Frog Town has been
under water, and families there have
been Obliged to use boats in getting to
and from their houses, and in number
of cases occupy only the upper stories
of their dwellings. This is small por-
ton of the town, however, and sparse
ly populated. Aside from the frightful
catastrophe of the falling of Dry Run
bridge and the drowning of two per-
sons, nothing serious has occurred. 1t
was feared by some, at one time, that
the bridge across the Cedar here would
not stand the pressure !; but it is all
right up to this time, with the eScep-
tion of some pretty severely battered
piers, and we may safely conclude that
the danger to it is passed. The fiat be-
tween the depot and Cedar City has
been overficwed, thus obstructing COM
munication in that direction.
The food has extended north and
west of US, carrying oif small bridges,
culverts, and doing other damage, but
we have no reliable particulars, owing
to the embargo put upon travel by the
flood and the mud.
At Waterloo the foundation was car
ried from under one corner of the -four
ing mill ON the east side of the river,
and the building settled eighteen inch
es. There was also some slight damage
to buildings on the other-siae. The
bridge stood it well. There has beenno
anmaqs there, II we arc rightly inform

Going Ont Of the Ice.-On Wednesday
morning, the ice above the dam in the
river, which has stuck quite tenacious
ly, went out in considerable of hurry,
and with good deal of fuss. Humid
reds OF our people gathered on the river
banks to see it go. A great amount of
drift wood came down with the ice, and
1t was rather fearful to see the great logs
and ponderous cakes of ice butting
against the piers of the bridges. No
damage was done, however, and the
people turned away with evident salts
faction in the thought that the ice was
gone and all was well.

Terrible Calamity. - Failing of a
Bridge and Drowning Of 7,oo Persons.
Last Sunday afternoon, about five o.
clock, a party of five persons, viz: Pat
rick, John and Bridget McCullion, Kit
ty McGarvey and Tim Heffner, attempt
ed to cross Dry Run bridge, just south
of town, in lumber wagon with team
of horses, when the west stringer Of the
bridge gave way and they were precfpii
tated into the surging, eddying waters
beneath. John McCulliOn and Kitty
McGarvey were drowned, the others
narrowly escaping. The two women
for q time remained in the wagon box,
but that was capsized and Bridget man
aged to clutch some bushes and save
herself, but kitty sunk and has not
since been seen. John was running
down stream on plank, from which
he was swept by drift wood, and. sue
ceeded in clutching small tree or limb
which moment after was taken with
him under water by some large timbers
from the bridge. The next morning his
body was found, his hands retaining
their death grasp OH the sunken tree
The body of the girl, ut this writing,
has not been recovered. The -stream
has been thoroughly dragged, and
pieces of her dress have been hooked
up near the tree where the body of John
was found. Some think that she was
| swept on down the stream and into the
river, while others are confident that
she. lodged somewhere among the BUSH
es, stumps and fallen trees, not lar from
! the scene of disaster. The team was
whirled over and over in the water, and
floated dead upon the bank about ten
rods below. Mr.. Harrington, who wit
messed the frightful accident, attempted
to take out relief boat, but was cap
sized, and saved himself by getting
hold Of tree. Dry Run in high-water
time is very wild stream, and in dry
weather is no stream at all. The high
water had weakened the bridge by ear
rying out its support in the CENTER
On Saturday, Supervisor Jaquith put
some props under it, but they went out
on Sunday before the accident. On
Monday the Coroner's jury held an in
quest on the body of John McCullion,
and returned the following verdict:

StraW.-We are reluctantly obliged
this week to use a very poor quality of
paper. We beg our readers, however,
to be assured that it is no fault of ours
that they are inflicted with the thin,
dingy, abominable stuff. We done what
we could to avert the calamity, but
there was nothing better this side of the
Father of Waters, and therefore for all
the good it might do us there might as
we'll have been nothing better this side
of Jordan. We may have to use the
outrageous invention another week, but
for the sake of the moral character of
our pressman and the peace and quiet
OF hundreds of respectable families, we
hope not.

an Outrage.-The other day we were
quietly walking plank on the railroad
bridge which spans the race, with a
small black pipe in our mouth and a
large blue Overcoat over our shoulders,
when we discovered on the south bank
couple of young men whose respecta-
bic anteccdents forbid the calling, of
their names. Our first observation was
that they were plagued OF the devil,
and consequently were on the lookout
for deviltry. First one stopped and
gathered in his hands their full of soft.
wet snow which he proceeded to squeeze
into solid rotuhdity. The other imme-
diately proceeded to follow the wicked
example. A flea got into our ear, and
we stopped to give their operations our
careful attention. Whiz! zip! and
something flew past in dangerous prox-
unity, whistling the song of mimic
ball. Horrors the thoughts went
through our mind like flashes of light
ming. Did they mean to put period to
our existence? Was it the intention to
knock our little black pipe down our
throat, and thus put in the stop? Or
was it their aim to dislodgc us from cur
feeble footing, and precipitate us into
the deep, angry, merciless food be-
meath? We thought of our latter end
of the good we had done, and the evil
We had performed; of the miseries Of a
stuffed thorax, ana the agony OF strug-
Cling with death in the water; of our
friends we thought, and of upside
down column rules and paragraph de-
scribing our many virtues and OUT UNI
timely death. Oh, the thoughts that
fitted through our mind in that brief
interval! Our reflections were sudden
~ interrupted by q movement of the
enemy, and whiz-zi whiz-z-z! came
the second ball. Thank fate! the enc
my was foiled. Our little black pipe
still atuck between cur. teeth, and the

Nud!-We feel very sure that we
have undertaken subject altogether
too deep for us. But as it attracts SO
much Of tho public attention, it would
be an inexcusable remissness of a pal
pable duty to give it entirely go-by.-
Indeed, we can't 60 by it if we would,
and therefore making bold will roll up
our brooches and go in. In considering
this subject we have been led into SYM
pathy with the army which floundered
In Flanders and the army which stuck
In Virginia. If they encountered any
thing like what oyerspreads the face of
the earth hereabouts, it was wicked to
jest Of difficulties or shout " On to Rich
naond!" Be that as it may, we can
have no doubt but this IL an important
epoch in our history, and we may con-
fidently expect that if we survive the
present siege Of general mud, any fur
tfler attempts to overcome us will be of
no avail. Great events produce great
men, and--pardon the egotism-we al
ways feel bigger sitter having struggled
to put the enemy under our feet. We
trust there will be no surrendering.-
Fhe enemy has not the necessary sup
plies for protracted campais n, and
will be obliged to capitulate in the course
OF the coming summer. Jack Frost. a
daring guerrilla, has been taken prison.
5er, and consequently the backbone of
the thing be brokens and Old Sol will
Soon return with healing in his beams.
We want, you see, to fire the Northern
heart.-But that army in Flanders, &C.,
has led us off the track, which, if in
deed there Is any track, is terribly hard
to keep. What we want to say can be
better imagined than said. We can't
express our feelings, and our feeling has
been so deep that we resemble clay in
the hands of the potter. 1t is horrible
muddy, anyway, and there is no way to
get around it. If anybody thinks he
can let him try it. We find that we are
getting mad, and will therefore stop
right hAss, and pass this over TO the,
devil 1 80
