MOUNT ARRARAT.

Among the isolated items Of foreign
news received by the steam ship Acadia,
at Boston ON the l7th, is the following
account Of dreadful earthquake in the
regions Of Mount Ararat. 1t comes
through ST. Petersburg paper, wherein
it is published as part of a letter from
Tiflis, dated August Sd:
You have, doubtless, heard Of the ter
rible earthquake of Mount Ararat, which
has totally destroyed the town of Mack
itcheyan, damaged all the buildings at
Erivan, and devastated the two districts
of Sharour and SOurmate, in Armenia.
All the villages in those districts have
been destroyed. The earth is rent in
such manner that all the cotton and
rice plantations have Perished for want
Of water. But the most awful event has
taken place in the neghborhood Of Mount
Ararat. A considerable mass was Ioos-
ened fIom the mountain, and destroyed
every thing in its way for the distance Of
seven wersts (nearly five English miles
Among others, the great village of Ak
houl has had the fate Of Herculaneum
and Pompeii. About one thousand in,
habitants were buried under the heaps
ofrocks. A thick fluid, which afterwards
became river, ran from the interior Of
the mountain, which was opened, and
following the same direction, swept over
the ruins and carried with it corpses Of
the unfortunate inhabitants of Akhouli,
the dead animals, &c. The shock con-
tinued to be felt every day in the above
mentioned districts, and entirely laid
them waste; then the shocks became
less frequent. Ararat is not yet quiet;
the day before yesterday | was awakened
BY two violent subterraneah commotions.

THE HELEN MAR.

The Buffalo Commercial of Saturday,
says; Information was received in town
on Thursday, evening, that a box con-
tanning quantity of letters, papers and
drafts, belonging 10 Captain Ransom, had
been picked up in the Niagara, by Mr..
Hall, Of Waterloo. Immediately there
after, one Of the firm ofMessrs. Joy and
Webster proceeded to the house Of Mr..
Hall and found the Statement to be true,
and from careful examination of the
articles and subsequent conversation with
the finder, the gentleman came to the
conclusion that all farther history of the
vessel is .f.a.}
SIN the deep bosom of the ocean burisd.''
Sad thought, that the gallant souls on
board should have met such fate.

HIGH-HANDED OUTRAGE
A short time previous to the recent cleo
ton. whilst man namd Henry Wilkins
was sitting on the bench in Lexington mar
ket. he was arrested by police officer
and a black associate, and by them con-
viewed first TO the watch-house and thence
10 the alms-hOuse, by the direction Of
JobnWright. This man was taken in mid
day, perfectly sober, aud for no offence,
and was brutaily bealen, ,bothby the officer
and the negro, in addition to the illegal
and audacious arrest. But the worst OF
the story is to come. After getting the
man to the alms-house, he was fastened
up along with two others in the cells
who he found we're imprisoned for the
same cause which brought him to this
punishment--that Of being a poor Var
Buren man. But now we come to the
proof of what was long suspected. !hl'
man testifes that on the day Of the e'ec-
ton HIMsEL and EIGHTEEN OTHERS, who
could not be made to vote the Wing tick
ct, were stripped of all their clothing,saye
their SHIRTS, toprevent their escape whilst
those who could be induced to vote the
Wing ticket, were permitted to escape
FIVE Of them actually let out of the gate
by those in attendance. Verify, if such
is the conduct of the Wing dynasty in
this city, it is high time for a"change"

h. New YoRK, Oct. 20, 1910.
The city is rife with rumOrs to day in
relation to disclosures of an election
fraud that was practised. in this city in
1888 and 1889, by which the present city
delegation were elected to Congress
It was done by means Of importing men
from Philadelphia to vote here.> One Of
the persons who was an instrument ofthe
fraud is now, and was then, police Off
Ger in Philadelphia. He has been ar
rested here, and is now in custody, and
warrants, il is said, are out for other per-
sons. It is expected that arrangements
have been made for the preparation OF
similar frauds at the present election, but
a fair prospect is now presented for
breaking them up, and exposing and
furnishing the guilty parties.
