An Incident of The Gale,-The Nevada Democrat of Saturday says: While two teamsters were proceeding up the road yesterday, between Nevada and Illinois bridge, with heavy loads, a large tree was blown over, and fell across the road, between the teams, just missing the first wagon and mules' heads of the other. Before the hindmost teamster could turn his wagon, another large tree fell immediately in the rear, and completely penned him up. The teamsters were compelled to unload the wagon, and pack the goods for some distance, after which they managed to extricate the empty wagon. They were detained half a day by the accident.
