itiieH east near Nevada, where n water
spout has been iudulging its destructive
propensity by washing away sixty feet Of a
railroad bridge. This misbap occurred at
ots7ck Yesterday morning, one hoal after
the west-bound train had passed. The
bridge spanned a dry run, which was also
crossed by a wagon bridge a few rods above
inc railroad structure. The wagon bridge
was the first to become dislodged, and

misfortune at the sans time occurred to a
bridge eight miles east of Nevada, thus
practically creating an eight mile gap in
the road and rendering transfer impracti
cable. One Of the bridges viii be repaired
to-day when the east aud west trans vim
be able 70 touch covcatchers across the
chasm il the other, and the passengers Of
each can be transferred and GO on their way
rejoicing that nothing more serious occur
