STREET DIRECTORY.

As new streets are constantly being laid out, it is not possible to publish a directory which shall contain all the additions and changes. This list has been compiled and revised with great care, and we know it to be far in advance of any heretofore published. At the end of this may be found the names and location of some of the new streets. We give, first the correct name of the street; second, the figures by which it is found on the accompanying map j third, the location and direction of the same. It will be observed that the alleys have been omitted which makes it much easier tq find the streets. See Map in regard to numbers on streets.

ROCHESTER DIRECTORY FOR NURSES.

Nursing of the sick has come to be recognized as a very important part of the means employed for their relief, and restoration to health. The increasing demand for nurses, together with the inconvenience and delay oftentimes experienced in securing them, has led to the es tablishment, in various cities, of directories for nurses. The Rochester Directory for Nurses, similar to those in other cities, is designed to be in the highest possible degree, a helpful agency in furnishing nurses. Applicants ordering a nurse sent at discretion of the Directory, should state such particulars as will insure suitable selection. Very careful attention is given to the needs of each case. The fee to families is one dollar. Telephone calh answered at any hour of the day or night. Office, 717 Ellwanger & Barry Building, Night and Sunday calls at residence, Telephone 545-0.

Genesee Falls. There are three falls in the Genesee river in this city. The main or upper fall measures a height of 94 feet, and when water is plenty, forms a beautiful sight. It is just below the Central Railroad bridge, and may be viewed nicely from Cataract street, or the Piatt street bridge. The middle fall is in the vicinity of Glenwood park, is only about twelve feet high, and not very noticeable. The lower fall is perhaps the most beautiful, owing to the form of the rocks, and its rustic surroundings. Even when the river is low it is a pretty sight. The location is immediately south of the Driving Park avenue bridge, and the height of the fall is 96 feet The total decline of the river in the city is about 225 feet.

The Elmwood Avenue Bridge crosses the river at the south boundary of the city. It is a fine structure, built in 1888 by the county of Monroe ; its length is about 350 feet. Clarissa Street Bridge reaches a length of 472 feet and was juilt in 1862, of the style known as the bow-string truss. Court Street Bridge, of the same style, was built in i860, be and is 420 feet in length. This bridge will probably succeeded in some kind. a few years by a 6tone structure of The Aqueduct, one of the most remarkable features of the "Flour City" in its earlier days, stands as a monument to the mem contractor.

It is located between Court and Main streets, and bed the readily found on the map (P20), forming the of over the river. It is also serviceable to foot passengers and bicycles. Built of Lockport limestone and finished in 1842; cost, $600,000.

by business blocks, built on stone piers from the bed of the river and hiding it from the view of the people on the bridge. Andrews Street Bridge is 280 feet long, built about 1858. Platt Street Bridge, now in process of erection, crosses the river to Cataract street, and is a fine specimen of modern science, of the style known as Latticed Truss. Its length over all is 858 feet ; height from river bed, 120 feet.

Vincent Place Bridge, built in 1873, was an object of interest for several years, on account of its length (over 900 feet) and its height of over 100 feet from the bed of the river. Driving Park Avenue Bridge, built in 1890 is' of great interest, giving the passenger an elevation of 200 feet above the river bed, close to the lower Genesee falls. The shore spans are latticed truss, and the central span is an arched truss. Its total length is 717 feet. It affords a fine view of river scenery. Beside the nine mentioned above, there are three railway bridges over the river in the city. The numerous lift-bridges over the canal are an interesting feature, as they are here used more generally and successfully than in other cities.

Candidates are re ceived on probation after civil service examination, and if they show proper qualifications are appointed as firemen by the Executive Board.
