E1RrHouAxE--Ths papers from every part
of the state mention a light CONFUSION of the
earth that occurred on the 7th inst. The
shack wes not felt on land, hut was visible from
a sudden elevation of the water in the bay
ous and rivers. In some places tho water
rose foot or more, casting skitis and floating
titnhers ashore. In other places, The current
was seen to now back upon itself and again
the borders off stream were greatly agitated,
while the centre was perfectly calm.
Tho papers Of Lafourche, Opelousas and
Aitasspas mention the phenomenon in much
the same terms as it has been represented to
US by citizens Of this parish, who remarked it
on the Amite and ComiIe rivers and on tho
Bayou Manchar.
Dates from Cuba Of the 10Th speak Of a Sc
we're shock experienced in different parts OF
that island, on the same day ard nearly the
same hour. In some places houses were sha-
ken from their fountains and dashed to pieces.
From this, We may conclude that the conYul-
sion in boil. countries, was owing to the same
ranE6.
