CLARK and of Henry BARNARD were broken in the course of the general melee

citizen" and that the act was "not only an outrage on Mr. JERVIS

esteemed. The resolutions were unanimously adopted and also a resolution

CHARLES DICKENS
Rochester should welcome this
illustrious gentleman to-morrow evening with an audience that will fill
the Washington Rink to overflowing. Everywhere he has been greeted with
enthusiastic crowds. In Philadelphia nearly 3,000 people attended his
"Evening of Readings." In fact his audiences have only been
limited by the size of the buildings where he has appeared. Mr. DICKENS is
a man who understands his subject thoroughly and treats it with broad
intelligence, in a thoroughly simple and unaffected manner. His broad
effects are few, but his work is full of those finer touches which appeal
to cultivated taste. His own personality, however, is eminently pleasing,
and he will be welcomed here, doubtless, quite as much for his own sake as
for that of the memory of his distinguished father.

one of the influential and highly respected members of the numerous
German population of the place. It is supposed that when the horses and
wagon were approaching on the sidewalk behind him, he failed to step
aside because, attributing the sound of hoofs and rattle of the wagon to
Mrs. Frank LUSK's vehicle and her horse, which in sympathy with the
reckless farm team, was running simultaneously in the road, he was
intent alone on that exciting scene and the threatened consequences
which ensued in the accident to the lady driver. Great sympathy is felt
in Pittsford for the sorely afflicted and only daughter of the deceased
Mr. MINNEBECK.

AN HONORABLE POSITION
The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of yesterday says: "The people of
Rochester and the Bell Telephone Company of Buffalo sat down together
yesterday in the persons of accredited representatives and talked
telephone for an hour or two. Rochester occupies a very strong, as well
as honorable, position in this matter. Being unable to obtain what she
considered reasonable rates, she simply stopped using the instrument.
The company's business in Rochester was wiped out in a day. The people
have gone without the telephone for nearly a year, and will not take it
again unless the company modifies its terms. It is thought that the
differences will be settled and business resumed at an early day."
