was preceded by a loud rumbling noise, and commotion
of the earth, which shook I of the houses so trio

awoke, and the children screamed from terror. The
'lurch only suffered; part of its battlements haviag
litre shaken down, as well as sustaining other damage.

" I n )665, January 20th, about six at night,' was an
eutillstake in some parts of Buckinghamshire, with an
