Beecher is a gentleman who speaks his mind freely, and has no fear of dignitaries in his soul. He was engaged rto let- ture iu :C-eneseo, N. - Y., but the lecture committee sent hire word not. to come because of a great small pox panic in the village. Whereup= on the RevThomas wrote as follows: "I. am amazed that, in this intelli- gent nineteenth century, ` there should be a small pox panic. If any word of intelligent contempt from me can be of use to you, please pass the,word around from me that -cleanly and vaccinated persons. are in no more danger of small pox than they , are of virtue. without - an ef- fort." The response of the great lecture committee has not yet `come under ,Our observation. Sam Patch's Jump. While in Rochester I met Mr. Hebbard, an old resident of Gene- see County, who saw Sani Patch make. his famous jump 'off Genesee Falls, . thirty or - forty years - agd He -says that julny day was a great" day in Rochester.' The people gath- ered for miles around to see this intermittent • American jumper, as he performed his last feat. r shouldn't say intermittent jumper, bht chronic jumper, for Sam was all the. time as crazy to jumpdown a waterfall as George- Francis, our chronic candidate for the Presiden- cy, the c irun for White y, s crazy to u House.. Sam Patch had previously jumped over Niagara. Thence, say- ing, " some things can be done as .well = as others," he slashed around like Sergeant Bates through Abe westethpart of the State to back up his proverb. Before Ms last jump 'he. bought ,a big black bear of a circusman, and. led him over the turnpike to. Rochester. • San. ' was a . queer philosopher. He had a theory that each new gen- eration had more knowledge, and could do greater deeds than its pre- decessor. He often said his fatner knew more . than bis grandfather, and that' he knew more"than .his fa- ther. a-ther. . Why, thunderatiou ! Sam, by your arguefying, your grandfather must hare been a darned fool," in-: terposed a bystander ; but he only turned aroand and commenced talk.- ing.about something else. Sam was a great 'talker. His tongue was always ` on the - run," and his body "on _the jump;" and all for notoriety. One day, :when be was a little boy, his mother, who lived in a clearing near Brockport, was speak- ing of Sam's precocity.. " Why," said she,. " our. Sam .can read the Bible like a spelling -book, repeat the Catechism from ind to incl and slice apples as well as his mother." , "Yes,_" said Sam ; "ian'. yesterday I licked Bill; Sinlpsoi, throwed the kittens in the well, .and jumped off the saw -will into the flume." Sarni himself said he once came home tight, washed the face,ot the clock and then wound up the baby and sot it forward fifteen minutes. But about the great jump. The morning of the day name. Sam had arrived' in town with the 'black bear, and the crowd rushed. into Rochester ,from miles around. Twelve o'clock was the 'hour to jump —to jump a hundred feet down— down the terrible fall into the boil- ing cauldron below. A staging had been built out over the water, and Sam appeared on the staging dressed in a sailor's fancy jacket. .His friends now took up a collection on - shore, while Sam swung his hat and said that afyer jumping himself, he would return and throw the bear over. Then, amid a death -like stilt- ness, he ran a few steps and gave one leap into the air and fell, cut- ting - ting the mist like a lead sinker! two hundred feet into the seething whirl- - 1 Ecol. As he left the staging his b 1'ody assumed - an ' oblique, position, his head • foremost, but .above his feet. " As he struck the water there was a dreadful silence, while the populace waited with choking breath his reappearance. One minute-- two inute—two minutes -three minutes—and no signs of the dari:n;g• jumper. Then the people sent up a loud wail —a loug murmur of sorrow. •. This was the -end of Sam Patch. They say he had- been drinking during the morning, and failed to - keep his feet together and his` body perpendicular, as on previous. occa- sions. So, when he struck the wa- ter the breath left his body and he was knocked senseless. A month or so afterwards they found his body away down .below Rochester, drifted upon the rock. • He never returned to throw in the bear, or claim the' money collepted. I believe in the doctrine of the transmigration of sous ; but, on looking at the almanac, nobody was horn during the' whole of that fatal day but George Francis Train.— Eli Perkins. - ROOMS TO LET.
