TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-We are panied
TO learn of Il terrible accident that has
betallen an old citizen OF Carson. Mr..
Oliver Cromwell, wherein he lost his
right arm, Mr.. Cromwell had ar
ranged for a days sport in cunning at
Washoe Lake, and after mounting his
horse at his ranch, three miles from
here, on the Washue road, careIessly
took hold of the muzzle OF his shot
gun, which was standing against the
fence, and in the process OF bringing
il up TO his SadGlethe hammers caught
and the gun was discharged, sending
the contents into his right wrist,
which passed up through the bones to
within about four inches OF the shout
der, completely shatterlng the bones.
Dr. Lee was called, and upon ob>erv-
ing the serious character OF the wound
thought best to call Or. Naterst to assist
i'll anputatiOn. After consultation II
was found necessary to aDiputate the
arm lust below the shoulder, which
operation was successfully performed.
Mr.. Cromwell undergoing the painful
ordeal with great tOrtltude-
ACCIDENT AT JSIoSvILLE. - Mr..

State Register, received a letter from
his son in Knoxville, apprising him
that his Younger son had net with a
severe accident while wrestling with a

and broke his leg above the knee joint.
The leg had been attended TO at the

Bpath. not only as to the state of his
child, but for the uneasiness bis ab-
sence from his family will cause both
him and them, at such a time. The
accident will necessarily cause the de
tention Of the family and di>arrange
the plans Mr.. Booth had formed for
their permanent location in Carson.
We trust tina the old adage 'bad u
comes altogether" may not apply i'll
this case.
RoADs.-The roads between Carson
and Steamboat Springs are in a fearful
condition. We now recognize the
propriety of Dyer charging five dol
lars for the trip, although we thought
differently yesterday morning. 1t is
nothing but a jump, a dive, a Slosil
and a bump the whole road, and the
most careful driving is necessary to
preven the wreck of humans every
hundred wards; and though pas>en-
gers mav be disposed to grumble at
being detained at Reno five hours after
the arrival of the cars from the East
ar West, they will acknowledge the
ilnpossibility of the driver plotting the
stages after dark, and until the roads
dry up somewhat, will be content to
wait a few short hours rather h
stand the chances of broken limbs or
perhaps necks-
STAMPs WANTED.-Since the snow
blockade of the Union Pacific Rail-
road has passed into its fourth week,
fears are entertained that it will con-
Time until the whole coast gets out of
postage stamps. The principal post
offices of Nevada have already been
driven tothe extremity OF lending and
borrowing stamps, while 3-centers are
scarce and ones and two's are being
used Oh letters. Postmaster Turner
of this city, after having made "a o
to Virginia some days since, III an
ticipation of the early re-openlng OF
the Union Pacific, was yesterday COM
PEELED to telegraph to San Francisco
for stamps.
MARRIED.-George w. Cassidy, OF
the Eureka Sentinel, and Miss Mary
Delaney, late OF this city, were joined
In the iloly bonds of wedlOck in San
Francisco Tuesday morning last.
