The banks on each side of the river
below the falls which are from 100 to
=OO feet IN height, were completely COW
cred with spectators. Some of the most
daring IN their anxiety to. obtain Il place
from which they could have an unobstruc-
ted view, forgot for moment the danger
to which they were subjecting themselves,
and stood upon the very verge of the pre-
cipice, while the timid and cautious &C.

the windows, and every accessible point
from which Il view could be obtained,
were literally crowded probably present.
lug one of the most animated and lively
scenes ever witnessed on the banks of the
GeneSSee.
| The point from which our adventurer
was to make his descent was a small is
land situated about midway of the river,
on which, near the brink of the precipice,
was erected 4 staging "a feet high, max
ing an elevation Of 100 feet from the wa
ter below, the falls being at this place 96
feet in height.
All were lmpatiently awaiting his arri-
val, when his coming was announced by
the loud cheering of those who had assem-
bled on the island, which continued but a
moment, then all was silent. A few mo-
mcnts elapsed The then emerged from the
multltude-ascended the ladder to the top
OF the staging, approached the edge of
the platform, and surveying with scrl-
tnizlns glance the gulf below, apparent
ly lost IN thought and contemplation of
the frightful part he was about to act, and
the fearful ,nsequences that might fol-
low. But, as if recolIecting himself a
gain, he stepped back, turned and address
ed few words to those who were in his
Immediate vicinity, bid his friends last
farewell, and with one bound cleared him
self from the platform, and descended in
to the watery element below! A splash
few ripples on the water, and all was
over Every eye was rivited on the spot,
gazing with the utmost anxiety, expecting
every moment to see him rise to the sur
face, but, alas they were doomed to dis
appointment; nothing was to be seen, but
the agitated waters, and not sound was
heard but the continuous roar of the
mighty cataract. Soon the awful truth
flashed upon our minds that he had fallen
a victim to his own temerity, and sunk TO
rise no more, and this was truly and EN-
phatically his last leap
Search was Immediately made for hi
body, but it was not found until the mex
spring, when it was picked up and inter
ed on the shore OF Lake Ontario, near tn
mouth Of the Genessee river.

AVI lowing Official repor, o., itsrneris is founded
upon twenty years experience by DR.. Com,ns, In

81 The Solution Of Magnesla is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing se!aive and aperient, in all
cases OF irritation or acdy OF the stomach, particu
larly during pregnancy, febrs rlants, infantiIe
disorders, OF sea sickness.
An ounce or two Of the Solution speedily removes
heartburn, acid -ructations. gourness or irregular
digestons OF females and children.
In the army and navy ii has been found 70 COM
pose The stomach il few minutes, after any excess
or hard drinking.
For preventing the evolution or deposition Of uric
acid in govt gravel, the efficacy OF the dis solved
magnfsid was lsng since authenticated by Drs. Nc
Donnel and Richardson, and SIR James Murray.
The Solution is OF itself an agreeable aperient but
its laxative properties can be much augmented By
taking with it, or dire thy after it, little lemon
tartar team this manner very agreeable efferves-
cent dransht can be safely taken at any time during
fever or thirst
The antiseptic qualities Of this Solution, owing to
the presence of so much carbonic acid, have been
found very valuable in putrid and other fevers As
lotion Tor the mouth, it swaetens the breath, and
the ,nagnesia clears the teeth from tartar.
The Solution has almost invariably succeeded in
removing the fits, spasms, headaches, and gastric

SAM PArCH;S LAST LEAP.

The memory of Sam Patch will live
forever Associated as is his name with
the Falls of Genessee, whose terrific Wa
tiers goin their majestic thundermgs down
the dizzy depths Of one hundred and
twenty feet, into the awful chasm that ell
gulphcd his body from al! human view,
it becomes part of their history and
forms al era and an event which cannot
be overlooked The following descrip-
ton of his last leap, which occurred at
these Falls ten years since, was written
flight, and may be depended upon as cor
rect. Some things can be done as well as
Others said Sam, and as the last word
died upon his lip, he leaped into etcr-
nity
If orr memory does not fail us, it was
in the fall Of 1890 when Sam Patch made
his appearance in Rochester, N. Y, to
take (as he said his last leap over the
Genessee Falls. He was Just in the prime
of life, we'll formed, and possessed of that
bold and reckless daring so necessary to
accomplish feat fraught with so much
danger as the one he was about to per
form.
Perhaps it may be well here to. observe
that in the spring previous he had jumped
these falls and came out below with safe
ty, and without any apparent injury !;
otherwise it might be supposed that he
was insane, or intended suicide.
AT the appointed time the people began
to assemble from all directions the old
and the young; and among them might
have been seen many who had come from
the adjoining towns and villages, all
pressing on with eager haste, each anx-
ious to precvde his neighbor, in order to

RooTs, such as bccts, parsups, carrots,
vegetable oysters, &C., are frequently
thrown into open bins in the cellar, and
soon become wilted, and deprived of their
flavor. They should be packed in bar
reIs or bins, and the interstices between
the roots filled in with sand, or sandy
loan. In this way their freshness is
preserved, and they can be kept good
throughout the season. When used out,
the sand may remain for use another

When our Country frown'd for the sailors right
Read each decree by the lannon's dark light.

When we brought down her banner OF blue.

Her colors dpfyingly nailed 10 the mast
Her ports openh wide to the blaze and the blast
She will front every danger and death to the last
