 | A young man named Edwin Wadsworth, l, on his way from Hampton, where he re- sided, to Willimantic, learning of the de- struction of the bridge on the main road, thought he would try the road through Mansfield. On arriving at the bridge the river was seen to be much swollen beyond it, and quite current across the road; but not doubting the ability of his horse to stand it, he drove over the bridge and in- to the current, which tripped his horse, | throwing him of course into the stream. The horse and buggy went down stream, and Wadsworth tried to save himself by clinging to bush, but owing to the ex- treme cold he was obliged to let go his hold, and sank to rise no more. Nearly two hundred persons were engaged in searching for his body Monday and Tues day but did not secceed in finding 1t. The horse and buggy were found nearly two miles below, having drifted ashore. He was @ son of s. A. Wadsworth, of Spring. field, Mass, and was a drummer in the 37th Massachusetts regiment.
