Heavy Fall of Rock at Niagara Falls. The following is sent us by Mr. S. Davis, of Table Rock Hotel, Niagara Falls: "On Saturday, the 24th ultimo, at half-past 1 o'clock, there was a tremendous fall of rock a little south of the old staircase, completely filling up the pathway leading to the new staircase. But a few minutes before the fall, a party was being conducted from the museum to the sheet of water. Had it happened at the time they were passing, all must have got crushed to pieces. I suppose some thousands of tons fell."
