Effects of Frogs at Niagara Falls.

The wear and tear Of the elements
on Niagara may be better remarked in
early Spring than at any other season.
Great boulders are continually falling
from the faces Of the cliffs where they
were loosened by the action of the
frost and the same process no doubt
is going on in the stone under the cat
aracts. The erosive power Of the
waterfall is not so great, but water,
wind and frost together make the re-
oession of the gorge, particularly on
the Horseshoe side, quite psrceptible. -

The flash occurred during the heaviest

to the residents of Redding they have
since the night of the lynching possessed

a little after 10 O'Clock there was light
