Thousands have clamored over the rocks , hunting Tor reuca" . andT8ouy.eni.rs. Great rocks never before seen are high and dry. So little water is flowing over ine American tails that men in high boots almost could have crossed at the brink. The extra ordinary condition is due to an ice jam -up the river. The ice was driven from-Lake Erie into the en trance in the Niagra and lodged in the shoal water, shutting off the flow into- the American channel. The Horseshoe fall is not affected as much" as the ' American;" The river in the vicinity of the Three bister Islands is quite dry and the center ' falls, between i Goat and Liana Islands, is a skeleton of itself. ine condition is likely to exist tor several days. :..., New York, March 24.
