_Niágara, or Niagára?_ (Vol. vi., p. 555.).--An enthusiastic person, of the

name of Pemberton (who had spent much time at the Falls, and was so

enthusiastic in his admiration of them that he protested he _could not_

keep away from them, and went back and died there), informed me that the

proper name was _Ni-ágara_ or _aghera_,--two Indian words signifying "Hark

to the thunder."
