"REMINISCENCES OF ROCHESTER,.
The Falls OF tho Genesee and sam
Patch's Fatal Leap-Oae of Its
business Houses and Its
Great Ma gnitude.

The present floods, which are either dew
astating or threatening the county in ev-
cry direction, are justly cause for appre-
hension. No matter whether they come
suddenly or by slow degrees, they are IN
either case, a great evil and much TO DC
dreaded, and yet America will always DO
troubled by these spring overhows. Prod
ably one of tho most disastrous that was
ever known, occurred in Rochester, n. Y,
about twenty years ago. The Genesee
River, lust above the falls, where Sam
Patch made his final and fatal leap, BE-
cams completely blockaded by ice, form
ing an impossible dam, and the water com
ing down the Geneseo River overlooked the
principal portion of the city of Rochester;
This catastrophe would have been repeated
the present year had not the energy ana
foresight of the city authorities prevented
it. The writer happened to be in KocAeSter
at that time and was greatly interested III
the manner in which this great catastrophe
was averted. Every few moments, roar
like the peals of thunder or the booming OF
cannon would be heard, and in order to see
this ice blasting process, the writer wenI

here he was not only enabled to see the

| building devoted to business and manu-

| tirely fireproof, eight stories high, and con.
| tanning over four and quarter acres Of
flooring. Mr.. Warner treated your CORE

the season of tho year when people, no

"And so it has been until our remedy

three years perfecting this new remedy.

being given there was performing all the
benefit. By carefully combining the activs

Cure, we have produced our Safe Rheumatic
Cure, and the cures it is effecting are sim

become as popular as our Safe Cure"
"You seem to talk freely in regard tc
your remedies and appear to have no Sc

"None whatever. The physician will
