Man Drowned.
Edward Thompson, an expressman, was drowned at the Trinity ford yesterday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock. He drove into the river in his wagon to water his horse, and the river being up, he got into deep water before he knew it, when he, wagon and horse were swept down the stream by the strong current. The bed of the wagon came off and he endeavored to hold on to it, but it turned over, causing him to loose his holt on it, when he went under. The horse and wagon lodged in the branches of a tree and the vehicle was afterwards recovered, though the horse drowned. The stream was dragged for the body, but it has not yet been found. The drowned man is a brother of Johnnie Thompson, of Thompson's theatre, and he leaves a wife and five little children in destitute circumstances.
