Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican May 24, 1849 FALL OF LIQUOR AND PROVISIONS - About one o'clock yesterday, a span of horses attached to a carriage, started by fright from Shaw & Moore's Livery stable, on Main street, and ran across the street to S. J. Myer's store, when the carriage came in contact with several casks of liquor laying upon the side-walk, breaking the heads of two or three casks, and emptying one entire pipe of brandy upon the ground. About the same hour, a gentleman from the country was driving down Aqueduct street, into Main, when his horse became unmanagable, and performed sundry curious feats with his heels, for the amusement of the spectators, and among them that of distributing certain boxes of doughnuts and other provisions in the waggon, were not the least laughable. The animal was finally subdued, and being disengaged from the vehicle, that had evidently been an unwelcome attachment, stood, when we left, under the windows of sanctum of the editor of the American, apparently awaiting a notice in that paper of to-day. * REV. CLEMENT M. BUTLER, D. D. - This distinguished and eloquent divine of the Episcopal Church, preached Sunday morning and afternoon at St. Luke's, and in the evening at Trinity, to crowded houses. Though we do not deem it proper, ordinarily, to notice such matters in the secular press — we cannot abstain in this instance from expressing our great admiration of the talents and eloquence of the preacher. Few men in this country, in the Episcopal or any other Church, surpass Mr. BUTLER in simplicity, purity & gracefulness of style, vigor of thought, and in that quite pathos which touches the heart. * OPPOSITION ON LAKE ONTARIO - A lively opposition of first class steamers is now kept up on the Canada shore, and bids fair to continue through the season. The Bank of Upper Canada own the opposition boats that are now running against Mr. HAMILTON'S mail line, and one of each leaves Hamilton and Niagara daily for Kingston, via Toronto and other intermediate ports.-- In some instances passengers have been carried the entire length of the lake, for one shilling in the cabin, and for nothing on deck. Twenty-five cents cabin, and twelve steerage, is the common price. The Kingston papers think that a dollar and a half, without board, would pay. The regular fare by the mail line has been latterly $4 between Toronto and Kingston. * ESCAPE - $100 REWARD - Robert B. DICKEY, of Camillus, Onondaga Co., charged with the murder of Mrs. NEELY of Fairfield, Herkimer county, it appears has escaped. A reward of $100 has been offered for him by the Sheriff of Herkimer county. He is described as about 38 years of age, and about five feet six inches high. The little finger on the left hand is stiff and crooked, in consequence of a cut. * ALMOST FATAL - A little child of Mr. C. S. SHARP, residing on North street, fell into a cistern, and by mere accident was discovered by its mother just in time to resuscitate it. Accidents of all kind are of almost daily occurrence, and should serve to caution people against leaving their cisterns exposed, especially where there are children. * MYSTERIOUS - A young woman, with an infant about two months old, came to the American Hotel on Wednesday last, and took lodgings. On Thursday evening she put the infant in bed, and left, and has not since been seen, nor has any one been able to discover from whence she came. — Yesterday three gentlemen called at the American in a carriage, took the infant suddenly, and disappeared. P. S. — Since writing the above, we have learned that the three gentlemen alluded to, were the City Att'y, Police Justice, and Overseer of the poor. * DREADFUL SHIPWRECK The Quebec Gazette of the 12th, gives the particulars of the wreck of the brig Hannah, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, by a collision with the ice, on the 29th of April. She foundered in about 40 minutes. The bark Nicaragua took off from the ice 129 passengers and seamen, and fifty-five perished with the cold. Capt. Marshal, of the Nicaragua, reports many vessels in the ice, and some of them in a damaged state. * MARRIED On the 15th inst., by Rev. Chester DEWEY, D. D., Mr. Byron D. McALPINE and Miss Mary E. REYNOLDS, all of this city. A liberal supply of cake accompanied the above proved that the printer was not forgotten, amid the general joy.
