acquainted with the owner, and led to the restoration of
the watch.—Local paper.
EARTHQUAKE AT COMIIIE.—COMTie was visited
on the night of the 28th ult., by a rather severe shock
of an earthquage, which happened about midnight. It
extended over a wide space of country, being heard at
the farthest extremity of the stratb, taking its direction
from north-west to south-east. The weather of late has
been unusually wet and 'foggy, which would appear to
favour the theory of earthquakes having their immediate
;rise from the state of the atmosphere, as such weather
is usually the forerunner of some severe shock; but this
can hardly be taken as an established rule. The earth-
quake lasted about three or four minutes, producing a
severe oscillatory motion; no damage of 11,13 y consequence
occurred.—Caledonian Mercury.
