Eowakd Llyx, Secretary. Valedictory. A Belligerent Prisataer. Yesterday afternoon Detective Dresser arrested one Amos Forbes on a warrant for assaulting Charles H. Gamweil on St.

Paul street. The detective found his man on the above named street, and requested his company to the police office. He consented, and walked very quietly with his escort down St. Paul street to the corner of Main. Here, however, he attempted to run, but Dresser was too near and collared him.

He then turned and endeavored to argue the case, threatening all kinds of punishment unless immediately released. His wishes not being complied with, he proceeded to put his threat into execution, but soon found himself flat on the pavement, with the officer upon him. A bystander not recognising the detective, and thinking it was an ordinary fight, interfered, and a lively tussle would probably have taken place had not Officers Allen and Lathrop come to tbe rescue. Forbes was picked up and lodged in the station house without farther difficulty. A aa seas rat.

Raaavray. Yesterday afternoon a pair of horses attached to a lumber wagon, standing in tbe hay market lot on Front street, said to belong to John BIy of Henrietta, became either frightened or disgusted at the noise occasioned by an impromptu dog fight which took place in the street, dashed down Front street at a furious rate to the railway depot where they came to a sudden stop by running into a passenger coach standing at tbe Front street entrance of the depot. The coach was but slightly damaged and no injury was done to either horses or wagon, Death af B. Cleateas. Our Palmyra correspondent sends tu the intelligence of the death of Anson B.

Ac Tbe fmrt that tjb cmser Uo of the nw CUT hail is to be I laid to-day naturailr Ujr- gata armx- aj tska to the wonderful rapidity of the growth of the community for whose public toe tbe structure is to be erected.

The occasion presents many features ef uoituai iitterest, and jtti6ns a comparison of tbe present size and prosperity of Rochester with He i rati trn finance but little more than half a century ark. It would, at tbe first blush, appear absurd to attempt anything like a historical sketch of a city of Ti), inhabttanta. The old world can searejely point to a manlpality of such respectable size whose founding doea not date back to a period so remote and whone career has not been checkered by so many events that even a large volume would careely give room and verge enough for the more important incidents alone. But the task is by no means a wearisome one with moat places in these United States, and with the exception of many pointe in the western states, can not be easier than in our own case. Tbe age of Rochester aa a city is Just thirty-nine Tears.

It was incorporated as a village only HffT-six years art, and the first bouse erected within tbe present city limita appeared but sixty-four years since. A glance backward over our local history requires, therefore, no great sweep -of mental vision, and we venture upon it, with little risk of tiring either the present readers of tbe Democrat and ChroTjkde or the antiquarian who shall in some future age far distant, search among tbe ruins of the city hall for records of the past. This will be when the falls sbaO titve worked their way southward many miles a sort of progress which is too slow for measurement save by centuries. There were settlements both east and west of Rochester long before anybody thought of fixing his habitation here. One reason of this, perhaps the main reason, was that the place was swampy, at least in the vicinity the river.

Enus Stone built a shantee on the west side of the Genesee about the year 1509 and the legislature at tbe same time passed an act for building a bridge across the river. There was considerable opposition to the measure, as it was maintained that the structure at Avon was imfiiciefrt for the wants of this part of the country. One legislator remarked It is a God-forsaken place, inhabited by muskrats. visited only by straggling trappers, through which neither man nor beast could galpr without fear of starvation, or fever and ague The bridge was finished in 1812, costing 13,000. Tbe primeval forest stretched over the whole face of the country save where a few patches of clearing began to show themselves and few they were.

The first allotment for a village waimade in 1812 by Nathaniel Rochester and two others, and the place at the same time received a name. The progress of the village was almost Immediately checked by the war with Great Britain, and it was only after the shadow of that conflict was lifted that it gained courage for that wonderful advance, one of whose results is indicated by the ceremonies of to-day. The only ex perience which the people of the village had of tbe war except as they served elsewhere was in May, 1S14, when Sir James Teo appeared off the mouth of the Genesee with a fleet of thirteen small vessels, his purpose being, as was feared, the destruction of the bridge at Rochester and such other unj-provement as were then in existence. All the men in Rochester capable of bearing arms, thirty-three in number, sallied forth, and this puissant army having been swollen by such reinforcements as the few scattered settlements could furnish, contrived to frighten the enemy from the place, the latter over-shrewdly suspecting that the greenness of the troops was assumed a Yankee trick to lure them ashore. In the year 1S13 the first store, the first tavern and a post-office were all established.

and the first postmaster, Abelard Reynolds, is still living, one of the last connecting links between tbe infancy and the manhood of our momcipality. In 1S13 the present site of the court house and new city hall was cleared and sown with wheat, after which it became a pasture. In ISifl the publication of the Rochester Ga zette was begun, and in the year following the place was incorporated as Rochester-ville. The present well-organised fire department, with its alarm telegraph 'and steam fire engines, has grown from the first fire company which was organised in the same year. In 1819 the name of the Tillage was changed to 'Rochester" title by which it had be fore been known, though often called "Genesee Falls.

Tbe advance in population became rapid after the second war with Great Britain, for hile the number of inhabitants was but 331 in 1S15, it 'grew to 1.049 in ISIS, and in liii was over 2. 700. Tbe first religious society was the First Presbyterian, which was begun in 1816 with sixteen members. In tbe next year St. Luke's and the Friends meeting house on Fitzhugh street both came into existence, and in the Firtt Baptist chnrch.was constituted, with sixteen members.

The order in which several other societies were founded was: First Methodist Episcopal, 1520; St. Patrick's. 1S23; Brick church, 1SS; Third Presbyterian, 1836; Grace church, 1S27; Re formed Presbyterian, 1S31; Evangelical Lu theran, 1831, and Second Baptist ia 1834. nontae mills. The chances are that within half a century most of the flouring miSs which still line the high banks of the river will have been con verted into manufacturing establishments, and in any erent.the, milling interest some lime since ceased to be the foremost one of the "Flour" city.

For this reason, the next generation will have bo notion of the important part played by these mills in our early growth when soanufaccaring was hard ly carried on at all. It was the time when Genesee wheat was the finest in the country and hen so much of it was raised in the Genesee valley as to form the most important supply for other and far dis taut states as well as for our own. The first grist mill was built by Indian Allen, a half-breed, whose character was a mixture of the vices of both races. In the course of some fifteen years his mill had gone to decay, and a small one was next built. called the Harford grist mill, This was in JW7.

Seven years after that Ehsha Ely, Jo- sish Bisse and Hervey FJy erected a mill and bo Soar had been manufactured here till that time. The manufacture, once begun, grew at an amajong rate till, in 1-S, wheo some 5-JO, 0U) barrels were exported annually, CAJtAxa AJTD BAn.BOAim, The growth of the floor interest owed everything to the Erie caaal. The first boat from Rochester reached the Hudson in lstil, and the waule channel from Lake Erie to tide water was opea to navigation in the suc ceeding year. The completion of the great work was fitly celebrated by the peophv of Rocbaaiter. It was here, afterwards, that the largest number of boats were built, and the place was eaUed the seat of the trans purtatkm business.

The cotiairtaction of the Genesee valley ca nal was begun ia 137. The Rochester and Auburn railroad was not projerted till a year later. TheTonnewanta railroad, from Rochester to Bat via, was opened to travel in 137. The Rochester railroad was at that time already is pet-anon. It ran along the eaat bank of the rrver to the upper landing.

That road was abandooed long ad Bot of our ciUbeft have never heard of it. i' sites IsaL Rochester was snconxarated a a city in when its twoalation was li 3. With its ititreense water power, with that rich vsJ of the Genesee about it, with canals and railroads turn wiring traatpor-ation, with a population utdtis'-rtoos, moral unl enterprising, and lastly with the influx of Abor from foreign siaores, who can wonder that otir city grew fast in all that goes to make np a Urge and prosperous monictpahty. Since the nursery trade has sprang up and beoosne more extensive than anywhere claw in the union. Tbe inaaufacture of boots and shoes and of cabinet ware ha also grows, to large proportions.

Ia fact, manufacture tag of ail kinds is ust developing, and tt is here we must look tor the future exiatiska 1 of our city. With all this tt ttattruJ resources, thjee of TRATtLrB RITfltD ABSITAt, AND IreUrAHTI fB Of TUIM. i DrMrt. vnurr wtu. MIU BOAS.

The Mataa at ike Water Werka Caaapsar In making an excavation for a sewer on rVmih Clinton street yesterday, the workmen came upon the water mains laid four or five years ago by the old water-works company. They were constructed of thin iron and sur rounded by a eoatinjr of cement, which, it was claimed, would harden and form a per fecUy solid mass about the pipes strengthen' tng them, and by being Impervious to water. prevent them from rusting. The result, as shown yeaterday however, was far otherwise. as the oexuent was a mere mass of mud, and both it and the pipes yielded readily to even slUrbt blows of the pick It was of course eviient that should a stream of water ever be forced through theae mains they would be useless as they would burst at once.

Nut long since these old pipes, in faot the whole property and franchises of the old company was bought up by Band Co. of Mew York. An ef fort was maoe by this firm, to make a ooa- ttwot to fureiah the city with water and to put in use theae old mains avnd pipes. In a bill presented in the legislature hut ye this Dortioo of the property of Kand Co. ia this city, was eatiinaied at a very high Cgure.

It is, however, easily to be seen that fur all practical purposes it is of no value whatever, and in ease it should ever be put ia nee would be nothing but a source of eoaa- tktoed annoyance and vexation to the city. ftrrlstea Ja4a k.

iAwut the then mayor, Charles W. Briggs, The beard failed to pass the measure over the veto of tbe mayor. The next step taken by the common eoon-c3 was on the 30th of January, 1873, when by resolution it was determined to erect a new city building on what will be the scene of to-day's ceremonies the lot in the rear of tbe court-house, which had been purchased for tbe purpose to which it wEl be now devoted from the First Presbyterian church society ia 1870. It was further resolved at this meeting "that Aid. Rogers, MandeviUe, Stade.

Charters and Heavey be appointed a building committee for the new city hall, and that they are hereby directed to procure plans suitable for the lot purchased for that purpose, and to present the same to this board for consideration a early as practicable such plans to be made on such a scale and in such style as that the whole expense of the same when entirely finished and ready for occupation shall not exceed $150,000. The committee proceeded to advertise for plans, 1 proposals, and on the 13th of March, 1872, entered into a contract with John Siegel for the prosecution of the work the contract price being 17, 900. Mr. Siegelsubseqnently, andor4the 6th of May, assigned his contract to William H. Gorsline.

Tbe work on the new building had gone on very slowly. The committee of the common council arrogated to themselves powers with wbichiwas never intended to invest them, and the city hall question bid fair to be thrown back into chaos again, when the legislature came to the rescue. An act was passed "in relation to tbe location and erection of public buildings for the use of the city of Rochester, by which the whole matter was placed under tbe control of five commissioners to be appointed by the mayor, George J. Whitney, C. J.

Hayden, G. C. Buell, Jacob Howe and D. W. Powers, were appointed under the authority vested in the mayor by this act.

Of course this proceeding was to the last degree distasteful to the common council and its committee, and A COXaUCr OF ACTHORITT was the consequence. Litigations, vexations, costly and as protracted aa the opponents of the commission could make it, was resorted to. It would be tedious as well as unprofitable to follow the case through all its legal details. Suffice it that the constitutionality of the act authorising the appointment commissioners waa'questioned, and the calendar of the supreme court was cumbered with ten or a dozen suits in which the People on the relation of tbe commissioners, the city of Rochester and tbe common council stood in the place of either plaintiff, defendant, appellant or respondent. The matter appeared to the lay eye to be inextricably involved in confusion, when an Alexander appeared in the person of Justice C.

C. Dwight of tbe supreme court, who with a writ of certiorari instead of a sword cut this Gordian knot and sent the casej, first to the general term where the acts was declared to be constitutional. The case was then taken to the court of appeals where the judgment of tbe general term was affirmed. The work on the building was then pushed forward with vigor, and to-day we are to witness the ceremonies with which the corner stone of the new edifice will be hud. The following is the PBOCKAKMI.

The people of Rochester have a right to claim part of the glory of its future and they look forward with bright anticipations in the enterprises which are now on the way to completion. Although the benefit of these Inndertakings are not yet felt, the public spirit which has made them possible is part of the achievements of the past sixty years.

We shall have the Rochester and State Line railroad completed in a year or less. The Rochester, Xunda and Pennsylvania line will also be built. Tbe Lake Ontario shore road most sooner or ater connect immediately with the city and there win undoubtedly be one if not two east and west lines running through or near the citv. The south lines will bring coal and make it cheap the only requisite now wanted for maufacturing. About the only great lack of the city has been a supply of pure water, although curiously enough, tbe first Rochester waterworks company was organised as far back as 1836.

That company proposed to conduct water from a spring near Mount Hope and close to the river, and Mayor Johnson in 1838 proposed to form reservoirs beside the river, with the same object in view. All these plans fell through, like many others since suggested. Tbe last company actually began operations, laid seme mains in the streets and put down wooden pipe on the line to Hemlock lake, or rather its outlet the source of supply. Tbe company failed in the effort, as usual, and I after tbe common council had made; several feeble attempts to take the matter in hand, the present water worksjeommission was created by the legislature. Tbe contract for the work ia now let The courts have decided tbe commission law constitutional save only the supreme court of the United States, before which the act has finally been brought by the board of aldermen.

We shall have water for fire purposes and domestic uses within a few years. There is now an almost absolute certainty of it, and whatever may be said today of the future of Rochester, no blessing that may come ctvQ be greater than the establishment of water work. We might extend this contrast between whit was and is. Even as late as 1S3S, there were but two bridges across the river within the city. Sow there are six, the last being that fine structure which is-just completed at Vincent place.

A comprehensive view of our present conditioDj would not omit the two hospitals and various other charitable institutions. Neither should the loan and other associations among workingmen be forgotten, whereby nedrly every industrious mechanic can make sure of a homestead and still be indebted only to his own exertions for it. In such a retrospect, the JrKWSPAFKKS should not be left unnoticed. The first daily paper was established in 1S36. It was published by Luther Tucker, edited by Henry O'Reilly! and called the Rochester daily Advertiserj The second daily made its appearance soon 'afterwards under the name of Rochester Telegraph.

It was issued by Weed Martih Thurlow Weed being the editor. It was sold to Luther Tucker and merged in the Dally Advertiser. The Telegraph was succeeded by the Rochester Daily Democrat, published by Sbepard Strong. George Dawson was the editor in 1838. Both these journals how exist in the Democrat and Chronicle, and Union and Advertiser.

tot xaa or a raw crrr hall had been felt sor a long time. WhOe the city remained an overgrown vil lage that part of the court houw still used for municipal purposes an swered well enough but xor several years past its inadequacy has been apparent. Some four or five years since the agitation for a new building took form. It could not be said that money spent for such a purpose was thrown away, but the project nevertheless, met with considerable opposition. It was proposed by some that an arracgem4nt be made with the board of supervisors by which an addition could be bust to the court house for the aceommoda- tkm of the eitjy officers.

But there were few who favored this scheme, and the general opinion was that if a city building was to be erected at all jit should be distinct from any other, and free from all "entangling alli- ces. This view was so general that the expediency of patching up the court house was scouted by all but a very few, and a structure new in every way was determined on. for the new city hall was the next thing to be sought. This was in 187L The cxmmoa council in Jnne of that year ap pointed a committee, consisting of the presi dent of the board and three aldermen from each side of the river, who were to act in conjunct ion with the city property committee in selecting a suitable location. This joint committee was composed of the president of the board (Aid.

Parsons) Aid. Aldrich, Mo-ConrjeH, Serve, Mandeville, Craig, Aiken -head. Charters and Stade. tt was supposed that, constituted as this committee was, its action would be harmo-niooj, and that it wools perform its minion alike with expeditiOB and with tattisfaction to the publku In August, 1871, the committee presented a report in which several sites, supposed to be suitable, were set forth in detail. The hat embraced the Seaman premises, corner of East Mala and South Clinton streets, If, Oabura's pre-rxuam, eoreer ofEaet avenue and Elm street, the Mew I n.

la mi house preousee, on East Mais street, the Main street bridge premises, owned byfl. K. Curtis, the Kwslr property, on South St. Paul street, the Sherman property, on St. Paul street, corner of Morti-mtfttrewt, the church property, corner of West ataun and Washington -streets, the Hawks property, on South Washington street, the Cooler market property, on the east side of Fruut street, owned by the city, the First Preatjjteriaji church property, bow owned by the city, and Hiram Sibley 'a property oa East Main street, at it junction with East avenue.

Whea tbetter was thus presented to the eoounosi council for action it was found that there was as great a diversity in the views of the aldertaeet on the subject as there were toeaaso named for the sue of the new ctty buHdrmg. Every property owner who had made a proposal seemed to have dermined paruaan in the board. The aldermen from thewest side of the river insisted that it would be absurd to erect such a public build-tug as that eontemplated anywhere on the east side. TheaJdersnea rwpresentins; wards ia the lattea section of the city held with eqnal tenacity to the belief that the inters of their coaairaent required that it ahoaiM be built oa that side of that Geaesee.

TstW Mayor HorArsfsr, tAor ariO br, srkcai tar eorwv stoar of the City Hall that I laid ts-dav will he oprn- taa lareattrkh Honorable sir: I feel a desire to be intro duced to you, and feel some embarrassment in doing it, because I must be the author of my own letter of introduction, for I remember while I am writing it here and now, that you are among the unborn great of American citizens, and that when you read this, I shall long have been a citizen of that clime and country to which all the hosts of earth are constantly voyaging, but from which "no traveller returns. How could the distance be greater between us than now while I write this, unless by possibility it may be when you read it As I cannot make calculation of our present distance, I leave to your mathemati cal genius that calculation after reading this. Well, air, if you are a little perplexed at this letter of introduction, and say who in the world can this be that speaks to me both in time, and from beyond time, and before my time, 1 refer you to tbe documents in the historical society of Rochester and Western New York, where you will find that in the early part of the nineteenth century I was in the midst of the great city of which yon are now mayor; and I was then also, strange to tell, in the midst of the unbroken forest and where you see now that ancient and venerable pile of known for over a century Powers' block, I resided with my father in a solitary log house. At that time, rem cants of the American Indians were our only neighbors, as you will find by history, and also that long since every tribe of them all have passed away. My youth was spent here in the forest; my manhood was among its streets in the busy marts of trade.

My three score yearsj and ten are, while I write this. in the midst of an elegant city of 70, 000 peo ple and over a Flour city of the Genesee a Flower city also in the midst of nurseries and fruit fields of hundreds of acres, and a city of manufactures and of extensive trade Where labor with its hundred hands Knocks at the golden gates of tbe morning." Go you to that noble cataract of the Gene see, which I first saw in aiay, is 13; there, in that early day the Indians who left on the coming of civilisation, went with Hotbread, their chief, and bade the cataract and their hunting grounds around it a last view, and followed the deer towards the "Rocky mountains. They were then "like the mighty oak with a worm at the root dying out. The boulevard Ontario, built in the latter part of the nineteenth century to Charlotte, doubtless in your day will be the Champs Elysses' of Paris, or the Hyde Park in Lon don. That locality, the finest, most stirring, business-like and beautiful ward of the city you now preside over, when I saw it first was an arena for wild beasts and it mlets and the mouth of the Genesee were but a habitation of.bull-frogs.

If you fish in L-on- dequoit bay, lined on all side with splendid st -aimer residences, with their towers and balconies that overlook the land and lake, and with their terraced gardens and vine yards and their wealth of flowers that burden tbe atmosphere with perfume and glory recollect that I fished there so long ago that one fisherman, and a poor fellow at that, owned all the domain and the water there, and hoped, in vain, that in his lifetime he could sell it all for a farm. But time ia re lentless, and goes on forever with its obliter ation, and lest you should fail to search out who it is that addresses you, go to your beautiful Mi. Hope, where so many hopes wait to spring into fruition. Look for me there In the table-land just below the observatory you will find me resting in hope beside one of the sweetest and most loving companions that a good God ever sent to bless a home and household, and between us there is an iron dog, sitting with his head and eyes watching the setting sun and in his mouth he holds a metal tablet on which is inscribed: "Watching the son set waiting for the sun rise." Lest the tooth of time may have obliterated it, I write it here; and if you think, when you arrive at our graves, that we have been sleeping in a long night, recollect that the "voice of the archangel and the trump of God shall be heard, and the dead shall hear His voice and come Earth to earth and dnst to dust Thus the grave is heaven's portal. All of ansa that mortal mnat Pass this bound to b.

Immortal. And a mighty voice will aound r-onnd, who'er may love or fear It: Calling millions from the groand All that sleep In death shall baaJ it. Sweet they rest sweetly sleep, in the kmc grave, dark and deep; Angels here their vigils keep, Whua they sweetly sleep But I trust we shall both find the "sweet fields beyond the swelling flood that are dressed in living green" and will you bring this letter with yots ther and ask for the writer. I shall be most happy to make, there, your acquaintance, and shall want to hear all about my beloved home, my earthly city of Rochester Under all circumstances, I am yours, 1 Eowrsr Scbastoh.
