NIAGARA FALLS. June -, IS12
Interesting Physiological Fact The city and Falls
Of Niagara.
Coming up to New York, from Buffalo, within a
few days, picked up few items, which may be Of
interest to your readers.
On board the steamer Hendrick Hudson, going
up to Albany, ascertained that there is no longer
any such thing as "niggers." Southern gentle
man addressed n colored porter, on board the boat
thus; Gent" Do you belong to this boat!' Col
ored person-"Yes, sir" Gent-''Where is the
person, indgnantly-"Thcre amt no niggers
board this boat, sir" (Southern gentleman dumb
great physiological and political fact was revealed
to him. He will, probably. make note oft.
The opening of the railroads from Canandai-
gua to Elmira, and from Rochester to Lockport and
Niagara Falls direct, all the talk. The former
has been open some time, but the latter is just
ready to receive passengers The cars commence
roads, but the Rochester and Lockpor road is said to
excel, in its appointments any road yet built in the
United States. 1t has all the latest improvements
This new road to the Falls will make great change
in the current of fashionable travel to the Falls
Very few persons, going from New York or Boston,
will now visit Buffalo first, before, but will
direct to the Falls by this new route. The Ogdens-
burg and Lake Ontario route will also command
large share of travel, and thus Buffalo will become
only place of transit, not place for stopping
night, as formerly 1t win lessen the pleasure seek
ing visiters Mt Buffalo, at least one third.
The people are beginning to visit the Falls in
great numbers. Yesterday Sunday AZ dinner, the
landlords of the principal hotels assured me that
they, had nearly as many guests at table, as any
day last season.
The new hotel, to be called the =" International
House." is not quite finished but will be ready for
guests about the 18th of July. II is very
large stone house, but not very beautiful yet,
though it may be, when the verandah, &C., is COM
pleted. .
The Clifton House, on the Canada side. is in fine
condition, and rapidly filling up. They have six
cottages, for families, attached to the house, and
every thing looks in the most perfect order. The
new park is great ornament, though the trees are
yet small.
The fall of Table Rock and the constant crum-
bling of the banks near the Horse Shoe Fall, have
made great change in the aspect of the scene-but
not for the worse, | think. as even these changes
are so full Interest that they compensate for every
thing that has been lost.
Going under the central middle fall, the
American side, and into the "Cave Of the Winds
is now the great feat of the day. and entirely
ecjpsss the adventure Of the same kind on the Ca
NADIA side, so they say-and ] am perfectly willing
to take the current report for truth, without per-
sonal test
Niagara city do you know il is city, with
real charter and a real city government Well it
is. Niagara city has risen in five years from three
hundred inhabitants to the dignity of a city--and
they do things in city style here assure you. II
is whig city, too, ard will 60 for the hero Of
Lundy's Lane, though they all say they would ra-
Their have Webster. and they think the Fillmore
will prefer to vote for Pierce, rather than for
Seward man. But Lundy's Lane is HARDLY here,
and if there is any thing in name, Niagara ought
to 20 for Scott. THE DoCToR
