EXCITEMENT IN ROCHESTER
The COmm0tIOn Caused by the
Statement OF q Physician.

An unusual article from the Roches-
ter N. r, Democrat and Chr onicle, was
republished in this paper and was a sub
| ject Of much conversation both In pro-
fessional circles aud on the street. APP
parently 1t caused even more commotion
in Rochester, as the following from the
same paper shows:
DR.. J. B. Henion, who is well-known
not only in Rochester bat In nearly
every part of America, sent an extended
article to this paper, a few days since
which was duly published, detailing bis
remarkable experience aud rescue from
what seemed TO be certain death. IL
would be impossible 10 enumerate the
personal enquiries which have been made
at our Office AS TO the validity otthe arti
Gle, but they have been so numerous that
farther investigation Of the subject was
deemed an editorial necessity
With this end In view representative
Of this paper called on DIR. Henion, at
his residence on st. Paul street, when
the following interview occurred: "rhat
article Of yours, Doctor, has created
quite a whirlwind. Are the statements
about the terrible condition you we're in,
and the way you were rescued such as
you can sbstain?"

do either"
"That is strange statement, Doctor"
"But II Is 3 true one. The medical
