Interviews.

An unusual article from the Rochester
IN. W Democrat and Chronicle was pub

the subject of much conversation both in
professional circles and on the street.
Apparently it caused more commotion in
Rochester, as the following from the same
paper shows: ~

this paper, a few days since, which. was
duly published, detailing his remarkable
experience and rescue from what seemed
to be certain death. 1t would be impos-
