A GREAT CRASH AT WATERLOO.
TIE RRIpGE FALLEN.

On Saturday last, word reached
us that the Waterloo bridge had broken
down, while five teams were upon
it, plunging them all into the Cedar
River. 1t seems that repairs were be.
ing made upon the bridge, which had
been pronounced unsafe. A rope was
put across the east end to prevent cross.

recklessness to take it down, and drove
on with his load of wheat several
teams followed, which being stopped
near the West end by the work going
ON, the weight Of all came upon that
single bent, and it gave way with a
crash. The wagons We're very much
wrecked. One horse was. killed out.

while Others were more or less injured.
Tho wheat was sent soaking down
river. Two men went down into
the river bed, and neither was very
badly hurt. @.ar a-.*
A buggy with single horse stood di-
rectly over the pier, and at the break

hollow pier, together with two or three
men. They were safely hoisted out
We learn that a temporary bridge has
already been thrown across, as at this
place. 1t is not proposed to erect any
part of the new bridge a. Waterloo, ex-

alone, one of these for 1000 impressions,
that we had to work -four of us) most

left in bad shape.

Io,C0 State Fdir.--We learn from
the President, Mr.. Melendy, that the
State Fair at Burlington last week
proved decided success. The wealth.
OF. was against it, and it took hard work
to keep up the general pluck; but all
the premiums were contested for, and
the whole were paid up, leaving no fl.
nancial arrears. Had the weather been
fine, it would have been the greatest
Fair ever held in Iowa with 600 more
entries than ever before. AS it was
there were $50 more entries than in any
previous year. There was good rep.
rcscntation from Cedar Falls not only
Mr.. Melendy, but III. G. Hunt, DR.
Pierce, +. N. Chase, Frank Wallace
Mr.. Finney, and Mr.. Daniels being
there. The latter took prize or his
stallion, and two Of the colts also took
prizes, three prizes for one single city.

Il Sham Report Yesterday Dubu-
que Herald contains a bogus report of
the Mass Meeting, most Of it got up in
Dubuque, without any reference to the
facts occurring here. This will be seen
from its putting Harlan's speech in the
forenoon, and other anachronisn,s Of
like sort. Nothing nearer the truth is
expected from copperhead sheets.
Thegetter up Of that report saw his
own father, Methodist Clergyman,
sitting on the stage before him, and
then went and published in this article
ns follows:
"Harlan stood i,i the re-ground
with grim fortitude under the weight
of the silence. of his auditors, while in
the background, in graduated rows,
were clerical mouths distendcd and
clerical eyes glistening. How many
Methodist reverends, how many Bap-
lists, we know not, but we saw one OF
the former,o &c.
From this little extract, the spirit of
tho writer and the worth OF his report
may be judged.
n Ncw crati.-Happening along by
the ship yard of Vim. Lee, the other
day, we found him engaged in putting
the finishing touches to a new bark,
which, is destined for the navigation of
these Cedar waters. 1t is fitted out
with water-tight compartments, in the
latest style of the ship-building craft;
and although not three decker, will
doubtless walk the waters in dignity,
enlivened sometimes by The condo
iier's song 5at EVA .
=. The craft is some twenty feet long BY
seven broad, and is got up by the Mill
Company, we believe to carry and
fetcl, stone for the dam, drift wood
from the race, &c. sshe will traverse
the Cedar which heads Narth West,
we propose that she be named, not
Great Eastern,-that has played out,
inanaly, the cable, but the Great
North West" Wonder when the
launching will be, and whether we
shall be invited rather guess it will
be a cold ,edser time.

an hour, giving anarEumentative and
earnost plea, which was highly copl-
mended. Then q. g. Carpenter, candi-
date for State Register, followed in an
able address; wherein he gave the un-
CONSTRUCTED rebels handsome setting
out. Senator Henderson closed up
with good telling speech, wherein he
showed how Andy is already growing
sick Of his job in falling out of the Re-
publican ks;-like the drunken
freshman, who having tumbled from a

That extraordinary casuist, editor
OF the Detroit Tribune, says "the
South did not lose any property by
the abolition of slavery. The slave
holders did lose their property; but
what they lost was gained by the
slaves themselves. The shareholders
ceased to own the negroes, and the
negroes became the owners of them
selves. That's about as clear as
Okefenoke mud, and as translucent
as the waters of Tar River. If there
is vacant chair in the Michigan
Lunatic Asylum, the Tribune man is
entitled to it. The negroes used to
be worth, under the old Constitution,
81, 900 piece. There are hundreds
and thousands of them now that are
not worth cent, either to themselves
or anybody else.
