ILLNESS OF THOMAS PARSONS - We regret to state that Ex-Alderman Thomas PARSONS
is still confined to his bed by illness - Having a violent attack of
inflammatory rheumatism. He was a warm friend of the late John ALLEN, and much
regrets his inability to participate in the ceremonies in honor of his memory
which took place to-day. We trust that Mr. PARSONS may speedily be restored to
health.

ACCIDENTS TO FIREMEN - Last night, as City Hose Company was returning from the
fire on North Clinton street, and when near Andrews st. Bridge, another alarm
was given. The company started across the bridge at full speed. Some one on
the drag rope fell and brought others down near a lamp port. Among others who
fell was Walter S. SABEY, of the firm of SABEY & BUCHAN, hatters, who
sustained a compound fracture of a leg, which was somehow caught between the
hose cart and a lamp post. He was taken home by some of his fellow members and
a surgeon called. He is now as comfortable as circumstances will permit, but
will be confined to his room for a few weeks to allow nature to effect the
necessary repairs to the injured member.
Geo. H. HUMPHREY and H. S. MERRILL, members of the
same company, were somewhat injured at the same time, but are able to be about
as usual.

THAT MEAT MASTICATOR - In speaking of this little instrument yesterday, we
were then destitute of its proper name (Masticator) we have no hesitation in
saying it is a useful invention; it makes beef steak lusciously eatable. It
also has a cleaver for cutting meat and bone, which adds very much to its
value. It is simple and cheap and we don't see why its not destined to find a
home in every well regulated family.- Some enterprising man would do well to
take an interest in it and manufacture them here.-- The proprietor is stopping
at the Clinton Hotel. Call and see him.

A NEW INVENTION - An Easy Bed For Everybody - Something new in the way of
a bedstead has recently been patented by C. F. SPENCER, of this city, and
it possesses features calculated to commend it to everybody who desires a
cheap, easy, luxurious couch. A great many experiments have been made in
bed buttons. Wire springs and steel springs, rods, slats and other devices
have been tried with more or less success. Those which answered the best
have generally proved too expensive for general use, and are only used by
the rich. The new invention of Mr. SPENCER can be sold at a price to place
it within the reach of all who aspire to own a decent bed. It is chiefly
of wood, so constructed that it yields at any point where weight is
applied, but retains its elasticity, and the greater the weight the
stronger the springs become. All the springs can be inverted so that they
will last for a great length of time. The apparatus is simple and can be
easily adjusted to almost any bed in use. But little under bedding is
required to use this patent bedstead. A buffalo robe thrown upon it makes
an easy bed. A very thin hair mattress upon SPENCER's bedstead is all that
is required, and will afford a complete, easy, cool, luxurious bed. We
make our beds too thick below for health and comfort. Thick mattresses are
often packed closely in bedsteads with deep sideboards, and all under
ventilation is then out of the question. This new bedstead effectually
relieves this objection, and affords just what is wanted for health and
comfort. Those who desire to see the best invention in the bedstead line
should examine this. It is on exhibition at the room directly over G. C.
BUELL's store, 75 Main street, where the article can be purchased and
where rights to manufacture can be obtained of the patentee.

FATAL CASUALTY ON LAKE ERIE--A ROCHESTER SAILOR KILLED.
--The Democrat states that a young man named Julius F. GULDENSCHUH, a hand on
the schooner Caroline E. Bailey, which cleared from this port on the 11th of
April, with 4000 bushels of potatoes for Chicago, lost his life by an accident
off the port of Erie, last Wednesday night. The main boom jibed over and
struck him in the forehead, with such force as to rupture some of the blood
vessels in the brain. He fell to the deck senseless, and though he lived
ten hours after the occurrence, he never regained his consciousness. The
vessel put into Painesville, whence the master, Captain WATROUS, sent a dispatch
to the friends of the deceased, in this city, inquiring what disposition should
be made of the body. It was received Friday evening, by Mr. Isaac
GULDENSCHUH, a brother of the unfortunate young sailor, who is employed in the
Democrat and American office, and he immediately sent a man to Painsville, with
directions to bring the remains to Rochester for interment. Before the
messenger arrived at his destination, the body had been buried but he caused it
to be taken up, and reached Rochester with it on the 8:20 train, Saturday
evening. The funeral took place at the residence of the widowed mother of
deceased, on North Clinton street, Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. Young
GULDENSCHUH was only 19 years of age, and this was his second season on the
lakes. He shipped in the Caroline E. Bailey, on the 5th of the present
month. psm

Effects of the Late Gale. - About 12 o'clock last Saturday night the schooner S.
Buttles, Alexander POLLOCK, master,
went ashore 10 or 12 miles east of the Genesee river. The Buttles is a small vessel of 125 tons burthen, and belongs
at Port Stanley. She has on board a load of staves from Port Burwell, on the Canada shore of Lake Erie, for Clayton,
on the St. Lawrence.
Owing to the blinding snow, he was not aware of his proximity to land, till within five minutes before the vessel
struck. He immediately got her before the wind, and went on head foremast. A heavy sea carried her high upon a
flat rock, and all hands immediately ran below.
By the Captain's directions the schooner was immediately scuttled to prevent her from thumping, and she lay quite
comfortably till day light. The crew were not able to get ashore till 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Captain POLLOCK thinks the gale of Saturday was the was the most severe ever experienced on the lakes, with which
he has been familiarly as a navigator for fourteen years. In his opinion, the Buttles has not suffered much damage
and may be easily got off with the aid of a steam tug from Oswego.
The seas swept over the piers at Charlotte with great fury. About 5 o'clock Saturday morning, the schr. Commerce,
of Charlotte, came in from Port Ontario, with a cargo if ice. She left that port on Friday evening, and made the
run of 80 miles in eleven hours, with no other canvas than a double reefed main sail. Capt.
OUDERKIRK says he never
experienced such weather before, and he has been twenty years on the lakes. When a short distance from this port,
the yawl of the Commerce was carried away from the davits.
