Show llEMAUICAIILE -UlltAGH. A correspondent of the Rochester Echts writes as follows : The undersigned under-signed was one of tho hundreds at Mount Hope on Sunday afternoon, who witnessed probably one of the most perfect and sublime mirages ever seen in this country. On the entire nonh sky, as far as the angle or bison, was lifted the blue waters of Lake Ontario, On-tario, while reflected l'rom her bosom could be seen the mouuiains, hills, valleys, bays und rivers on the Canada .shore inland lor miles. Tho coa.-t could be plainly seen over a stretch of fifty miles, and so perfect at one time that the forests could readily be distinguished. dis-tinguished. The reader can form some idea of its grandeur by knowing that a country separated from Rochester Roches-ter by a lake seventy to one hundred miles in width was, as if sudden'y, by the great hand of its Creator, painted upon tho heavens so plain as to be seen from a standing point one hundred hun-dred miles distant. Gentlemen present pres-ent who were familiar with the Canada shore, could readily distinguish Rice Lake, liclvidcro and other prominent points in Canada. The lake looked as though it had by a gieat tidal wave rolled upon Rochester, had covered one entiie half of the city, as no building build-ing could be teen north of Main street, or any laud between tho city and the lake. |
