caused in the city this morning by report that
man was on cake of ice in the river near the
Falls, beyond reach from the shore.' Hundreds
of people rushed to tho river bank on both sides
below the Falls. to ascertain the truth OF tho ru.
NOR II turned out that man was on small
take of ice, grounded in the river short distance
below the Falls, about 100 feet from the shore.
The water was rushing swiftly by him on either
side towards the rapids and Lower Falls, over
which he would speedily pass, if the ice upon
which he stood should hceome disodged. Ills
perons position and the imminent danger OF
his being speedily carried away, caused intense
excitement among the people upon shore. 1t
was discovered that the unfortunate man had
but one arm which of course prevente. MN
from swimming to the shore, as Il strong man
might have done. Liberal sums were offered by
citizens for n boat or any person who would res
cue the man.
After an hour and quarter OF intense Anxiety
tho man was rescued by means OF rope, when
was carried to him from the shore by plank
nnshed into the stream from the shore above
Ito was drawn ashore amidst the cheers OF the
multitude He proved to be Jacob Suffer- who
resides on North Clinton street. he says ne
was gathering drift wood, and stepped upon the
ice beside the water to seize stick when the
ice broke AWAY and hoatcd him into the stream.
