water-courses were several feet higher than they

All communication has been cut off with the sur

Reedy Falls, in the village of Greenville, were
quite an OBJECT OF attraction on Saturday. They
were in Niagara miniature; and our citizens and

out en- masse to witness the grand spectacle pre-.
sented by the raging and foaming waters dashing
over the tails and down the precipics.

Several important changes have been made in

its advantages available to a larger number Of stu
