TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Three Men Drowned at Brush's Mills!

Last evening just at dusk, Edward
McCirath, Jas. Levett, and John Wat
son, attempted to cross the Cedar River
i'm a skiff above the dam Mt Brush's
Mill, four miles below this place, and
in going from the East over they were
forced by the current over the dam,
their boat made a perfect wreck, and
they clinging to the pieces were carried
about eighty rods below the dam, when
Levett and Watson caught among the
trees on an island formed by the high
water. .. ...... 49,. ....... .-........-..
The pcople OH the bank of the river
could converse with them, but having
no boat, and owing to the darkness OF
the night and the force and rapidity
of the current they were unable to rem
der the unfortunate and helpless men
any aid or assistance. And they were
thus within speaking distance with
their friends left to perish in their ter
rible situation.
This morning the bodies of Levett and
Watson were found among the trees and
bushes, where they lodged the night
before and chung for life and safety.
The body of Levett was found in q
tree several feet above the water, where
it is supposed he crawlcd for safety
from the rushing current, where he
persisted from cold during the night.
Watson's body was found clinging to
a limb where he also persisted from
cold. 81 "
The body of McGrath has not been
recovered, and has undoubtedly been
carried down the stream. Nothing Is
known concerning him after he passed
over the dam, and it is supposed that
he was drowned almost immediately
as both Levett and Watson were heard
to converse on the island. The unfor-
tunate persons were all from Cedar
Township, and were crossing the river
to go to their homes.
We have never been before called
upon to record SO heartfelt and sad q
tragedy, and may it never be our lot to
again. Thus three of our most worthy
citizens have been by and in the provi'
dence of God called to give an account
of their stewardship. Truly in the
midst of life we are in death.

NiObrarah Wagon Road.

Last year, under an Act of Congress,
making an appropriation for that pur-
pose, Col. James A. Sawyers explored
and located wagon road, leaving the
Missouri River at the mouth of the Nj
obrarah, passing the southern base OF
the Black Hills, and making Virginia
City by direct route, entirely free from
mountain ranges or long bends to avoid
them, alkalied dust, &C., which must
ever be serious objections to the routes
heretofore travelled. He is now prepar-
Ing to go over the route again this season,
for the purpose OF pertecting the work
begun last year. The construction
train, accompanied by a military escort,
and a large freight train from this place,
will leave here about the first of May,
or as soon as the grass on the prairies
will subsist the teams, and proceed di-
rect to Virginia City, shortening bends
and improving the road as they CO.
The superiority of this route over all
others for emigrants and freighters, was
established last year. The route is
shorter by over seven hundred miles
than any heretofore travelled, and the
! facilities for water, grass ana wood far
superior. The greatest distance travelled
| last wear without finding good water,
was twenty-scven and one-half miles,
and plenty of grass was always found
on the road, without making 1t neces-
sary re go out of the way to Craze cattle.
| Notwithstanding the delay occasioned
by opening and locating this route last
year, the train arrived at Virginia City
! five or six weeks earlier than teams
over any other route, or freight by
steamboat up the river, and the cattle
were in better condition when they got
through than when they started, and
none of them were alkalied.
Accompanying the construction train
last year, was a private freight train o.
thirty-six wagons. These were drawn
by eighteen teams-each team having
two wagons coupled together, and load.
ed with sixty to sixty-four hundred
weight to the team, and yet, with these
immense loads, they were not compelled
to uncouple or unload a wagon on the
entire trip, and the only break, was an
axle, which occurred in carelessly
cramping a wagon. This year, it Is
expected to reach Virginia City in from
seventy to ninety days from the time O
: starting. "sh@ a+s
This affords an opportunity to emf
grants and freighters to the mines, which
should command their attention. The
danger from Indians must be less than
! on tho other routes, as no other is &C
