rrrirrci Of a letter 10 The ed tors. dated

ANNAroLis, January 10 1894
Il" A bill has been introduced into the House
of Delegates by The friends of the Potomac
Canai, hy which il is proposed to incorporate
a company. Many ofihe features of this bill
are very similar To those of the old act of in
corporation. 1t has not yet been made the
subject of discussion in the house, and i, is
impossible To say nj present what course will
be pursued in relation tn it.
There appears, think, TO be disposition
on the part Of friends of the Susquehanna
and the Potomac Canals, tn unite in gene
raj system for th. improvement of the nter-
nal navigation of the state and in order TO as
certain whether mi. ority of the present le-
gisIaturp will support SD desirable and impor-
tant an object. "A bill, understand, has been
prepared and will be shortly introduced. The
alI-imporani question will then he fairly pre-
sent.d, whether we are 10 avail ourselves of
the advantages which nature, in II moment Of
lavish 2rofusion, has scattered around us, or

a more liberal and euterpriZing people.
"The consideration of the Jew Bill has been
postponed until Tuesday in the House, after
having been passed by the Senate, ayes 8,

moral at MIR. Eiiing and others has produced
a strong sensation out of DOORS whether the

upon the character of the state may be re-
moved.

Gentlemen On Tuesday, the 18Th instant.
at about half past 10 AT night, was surprised
by mise resembling the fall of a heavy body
on The earth, which was instantly followed by
tremulous motion that shnok the doors and
windows of the house for two or three Sc
conds. ascertained that it could not proceed
from any person or thing in my house, and 40,
a breath of "ind WAS stirring without. ave
since seen five persons, who, in different places,
heard and fell the same thing as myself, and
described 1t IN like manner. The Thrrmome-
Ter mad been, during the day, as high as So,
and Stood AT Al when the occurrence hnppen-
ed. My own impression is, that il WAS either
slight shock OF an Earthquake, or some cleo
tr'c explosion. ltany of your readers, either
IN tins city, or at "A distance, witnessed any
thing corresponding in time and circumstam-
ces with the above, would be glad il they

Contiguous to my garden, l have a
small orchard, and have had for Sc

inclined towards and bent over them,

every pore, and which could not have
