The Falls Of the Genesee and Sam
Patch's Fatal Leap-One OF it's
Business Houses and it's
great Magnitude.

The present floods, which are either de.
vastating or threatening the country in
every direction, are justly cause for appre-
hension. No matter whether they come
suddenly or by slow degrees, they are in
either case, q great evil and much to be
dreaded, and yet America will ALWAYS be
troubled by these spring overflows. Prob
ably one OF the most disastrous that was
ever known, occurred in Rochester. N. Y.
about twenty years ago. The Genesee river
just above the falls where Sam Patch made
his final and fatal leap became completely
blockaded by ice, forming an impossible
dam, and the water coming down the
Genesee river overtlowed the principal
portion of the city of Rochester. This
catastrophe would have been repeated the
present year had not the energy and fore
sight of the city authorities prevented it.
The writer happened to be in Rochester at
| that time and was greatly interested in
the manner In which this great catastro-
phe was averted Every few moments. a
roar like the peals of thunder or the boom
ing of cannon would be heard, and in or
der to see this blasting process the
writer went to the top of the new Warner
| building, which overlooks the Genesee
| river. From here he was not only enabled
| to see the process uninterruptedly. but also
the magnificent building which has lust
been completed. This is unquestionably
the finest building devoted to business
and manufacturing purposes in America,
being entirely fireproof, eight stories high, !,
and containing over four and quarter
acres of flooring. Mr. Warner treated
your correspondent very courteously, and
| in the course OF the conversation said:
eve are doing tremendous business
and are far behind IN our orders. This is
| the season of the year when people, no
matter how strong their constitution may
be, feel, more or less, the pain and indis-
position, the headaches, colds, neuralgia,
rheumatism, dull pains, sore throats,
coughs-all the thousand and one ills that
flesh is heir to come this time of the year,
if at all. 1t is natural, therefore, that we
should be very busy. This is specially
true of our Safe Rheumatic Cure, and it is
crowding us very sharply for new RENE
