HAIRBREADTH ESCAPES
DURING THE EARTH—

MANILLA.--e. IThheeard of the
a Mass across the open EP
A Spaniard, his wife, and two children were passing at the
moment; the man, who had just turned to take his chil-
dren in his arms, was crushed, together with his little chil-
dren, while his wife, who wan not a yard distant irons
him, escaped unhurt, as did also, with the exception of a
few bruises, five persons who were standing within the
basement of the tower when it fell. A woman had been
ordered to fetch some water from a spring, but had ne-
glected to do it, which made her master so angry, that on
her refusing to go, he took her by the arm and put her out
of the house. She had only got as far as the open space
which surrounded the nearest church, when the earthquake
took place, which shook down the house from which she
had just been expelled, and killed all who were in it. One
Pietro Mastal, the driver of a public vehicle, had just left a
wino shop at the corner of a little street facing the church of
Vera Cruz, with a friend of his, a muleteer, when the latter
saw something glittering at his feet. He picked it up, and
it was a small silver coin. Both turned hack to spend the
money in wine. At the door the muleteer turned round and
jestingly told Pietro that he should not share it, and with
the rough playfulness of that class he gave Pietro a push
which sent him staggering some distance. Before he had
time to recover himself and follow his friend, the earthquake
came, the n ineshop crumbled to pieces, and buried all within
its walls, leaving him standing at the thrt shold uninjured—
All the Year Sound.

music will rejoice to learn is much improved.
