FLOOD ArRnCHEErER.

ROCHESTER, March Up. NJ,
There is the greatest food in Rochester,
and vicinity ever known. The water I'M
the river fills all the arches under the
acqueduct, and overfows the railroad
bridge. 1t is several feet deep, running
down Exchange street, and 6ows across
Buffalo street, near Arcade filing all the
cellars and covering the ground R,oors of
many of the principal stores. No trains
left the city, eastward, on the Central or
Genesee Valley railroads vest ardsy.
At eight o'clock the water wss still ris-
ing, but it has subsided in. the river at
Mount Morris, and it is hoped that no great
damage will result, more than has already
been done. The railroad bridge has been,
and is now, in danger, but unless the water
rises more it will probably remain safe.
The body of sn unknown womsu was
found floating in Exchange street, hs wing
been washed from above.

Attempted Assassination I'm Dav,on.

Attempted Assassination I'm Dayton.
The Dayton Journal says: Wednesday
morning about tive o'clock, the wstchmen
in the eastern part of the city were aroused
by the cry of murder. 1t was soon ascer-
tanned that the cry proceeded from house
on Beckel street, nesr Third, and on inqui-
~ the police found Womsn named Hsr-
riet A. Duvall, wife of g soltier in the
army, in fainting condition, and her
clothing saturated with blood. Her story
was as follows;
The victim was sleeping by herself In
8 room where lamp was lighted, and
sometime during the night-she thinks
between one and two o'clock-she was
suddenly awakened by some one striking
her violently in the breast. On opening
her eyes she saw q man beside the bed,
in the act of striking her q second blow,
and throwing up her hand, the knife
struck it, making a trightful wound
Mrs D. screamed, and sprung out of bed,
and the assassin knocked her down then
putting out the lamp, he fed from the
house-the doors having been left open foF
easy escape. The weapon used was a large
dirk knife, and at the first blow it passed
sHAOu5A AfO eLliOhnesses VI q SofeElnBi anu
penetrated through the right breast into
the lung. The second blew having been
spent upon the hand, which was dread
fully mutilated, it did not penetrate the
clothing far. Mrs. d. saw the would-be
assassin plainly, and says she recognized
him IS man by the name of Millsrd, who
had some time since prosecuted her with
vile attentions, and whom she had brought
before the Mayor, and fined. When the
fellow stabbed her the second time, she
says he remarked, sneeringly, You
haven't got your police about now r' And
she attributes the attempt to murder her
as revenge for having exposed the accused,
and had him brought to punishment.

MnsicaI GossIn.

This was what Beethoven said when he
first read the score of Weber's "Der Frei-
schultz: "What an idea Ishould never
have believed It of the little man, who is
generally SO mild Weber must now write
operas; regular operas; one after another,
fthd without bestowing too much trouble on
theml Caspsr, the monster, stands out ike
q house Whenever the Devil puts his
claws in the business, you feel them, and
no mistake /" Sometime afterwards Web
er visited Beethoven, and the appearance
of the latter is thus described:
s1t was thus that tha Learof the OssiRnic
bsrds must have looked. The hair was
thick, grey and standing up; in some places,
however, it was quite white; the forehead
and skull were wonderfully broad, srched
and lofty, like q temple; the nose was
square, like that of lion; the mouth was
nobly formed and soft the chin was broad,
with those wonderful folds, depicted in all
the portraits of him, and formed of two
rnsxiIlsry bones, which seemed to have
been made on purpose to crack the hardest
nuts. Over his broad, pock-marked face
WAS spread dark red tinge; beneath his
brlshy eyebrows, sternly contracted, small,
sparkling eyes cleaned mildly on US as we
entered the Cyclopesn square-built form,
only little taller, however, than Webers,
was clad in shabby dressing-gown, torn
at the elbows.

sheridan Again.

Official dispatches received tonight in
dicate that Phil. Sheridan is still carrying
on his work of cutting of rebel communi-
cations and destroying rebel supplies. Con-
trary to general expectation, however, he
did not cross the james and pass to the
south of Richmond, being probably pre-
vented by the freshet in the river. After
destroying the canal to Goochlsnd, twen-
ty-Ave miles west of Richmond, he march
ed up to the Virginia Central Railroad
and destroyed it for some fifteen miles. He
reports, also, the destruction of bridges on
the South Anna river, on the Virginia
Central and Richmond and Fredericks-
burg roads. His dispatch is dated on the
18th, from the bridge of the Richmond and
Fredericksburg road over the South Anna,
twenty-five miles north Of Richmond.
The amount OF public property destroyed
is enormous. The enemy appear to have
been completely bewildered by the sud-
denness Of Sheridan's movements, as he
has met with no resistance whatever ex-
cept in one instance, which resulted in the
capture ofthree cannon by the 9Th q. s.
Cavalry. This regiment, by the by, whose
conduct is especially mentioned, is now
commanded by Captain Tom. Drummond
who is well known to our Cleveland read.

InteIlIaenf Onicers

There are public officers in this city de-
nominated Health Wsrdens, whose duties
are to investigate, abste or remove nuis-
snces, to report upon the dangers of epi-
denies, and to exercise a general super
vision over sll matters relating TO the SAN
itary condition of the city. TsSrre are
twenty-five of these gentlemen@one for
each ward-and each has an assistant.
The intelligent manner in which the duty
Of some of them is performed is exhibited
in the following extracts from the evidence
taken yesterday by the Senate Investigst-
ing Committee
Albert J. Terhune Health Warden OF
the Tenth ward, said that hygienics was a
new compound which the doctors sold.
John Donelly, Health Warden of the
Sixth ward, said he believed hygienics was
something that arose from the cutters.
Judge Whiting-An efiuvium which
produces epidemics7
Witness-Yes, sir.
For the information of any of the col
leagues of these gentlemen who may be
similarly muddled when called upon tC
testify, we give Worcester's definitions oi
Hhygienics and hygiene:
HYGIENICs-The art Of preserving health;
hygienism; hygiene.
HYeIEEE-rhst branch of medicine Of
which the object is the preservation o.
health.
These capable guardians of the public
health show very plainly that the rank
efiuvis of their wards has put all true no.
tions of hygienics out of their heads.-N
