The Transcript of the last .eyening
says the shock '.was accompanied by a
runbing sound, resembling that caused
iIy the passage of a train OF railroad cars
across short bridge The shock was
SO .seycre as to. shake houses, aad even
the furniture inside ofthem and we have
heard of several persons having been
awakened by the shaking of their beds.
This shock seems to have extended in al
most every direction, and we hear of lis
having been felt in, almost every place
within 80 or 60 miles ofus. At Jamaica
Plains chimney was shaken down; in
Worcester the door bells of two houses
were rung. In Braintree Denham, Con.
cord, and various other places, We here
ofits being felt.

from Cambridge, Newton, Lynn, Nahant,
Salem, Beverly, 'Wnstboro, and Worees-=
ter, and in these places the houses were
shaken, windows and doors ratified, bells
were RUG, and the slumbering were
walked up. The vibrations do not appear
to have been proceeded or attended by
that rumbling sound which usually accom-
panies earthquakes. The, sound, as it
appeared to US, was more like that pro-
! duccd by the sudden violent motions of
person in an ajoining room, or in the
chamber over head. Some say there
were two orthree successive shocks; but,
to us, it rather appeared like one contin.

eddy the shock. The vibrations appear
ed to be in direction North, and South,
and to have continued for second or two.
| We shall look with interest for news from
South America, which will probably bring
US the intelligence ola severe earthquake
in that section of the world, the effects of
which we have slightly felt" ~ a. ~
