NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. {!

An Earthquake, the same in it's effect and
duration as the one of the 10th December
last, was felt in this town yesterday at so
minutes after 9, in the morning. Many per-
some were inclined to doubt the evidence Of
sensation, and were willing to ascrbe the
conclusion to any but the true cause but
the same sensations being experienced in ev-
cry part OF the town at the same instant, left
no doubt of its being the shock of an Earth
quake.
Tho the morning was perfectly calm, yet
articles suspended from walls and ceilings,
were shaken to and fro with a violence that
even the wind could not have produced.
Persons who were standing or walking, felt
sensation similar to that produced by the
rocking of ship in boisterous sea many
were thrown off their equipoise, and could
difficulty keep from falling. Every clock
in the place was stopped.

"SUFFOLK, Esd Jan. 1872.
This morning AZ twenty-five minutes past
nine, the shock Of an Earthquake was felt very
sensby by all the inhabitants Of Suffolk. The
writer of this was sitting by the fire with his
face to the South, aud the emotion which the ,in-
dulation gave, was by wavering his body on the
chair from the West, to East. Starting up, he
exclaimed, "the house shakes" and moved ni-
to the street with three other persons who were
in the room. The duration of this terrifying
convusive power did not exceed eight seconds
of time, and all those who felt it complained Of
a gddiness for some minutes after the tremor
OF the Earthquake ceased"
