A Phenomenon.

About six months since Mr.. Jacob Por-
tervine, highly respectable planter in
Yalobusha county, Mississippi, during the
night felt his house tremble under him.
with very perceptibIe and continuous
shock, so violent, indeed, that the water in
pail on a shelf was thrown ont Of the yes
sci This trembling or shaking-because
it rattle $ and shakes everything about the
house-has continued every night until the
present and still continues. The house is
solid structure, on a high hill Of gravel.
compact and dry. The trembling extends
all over the house and about twenty steps,
IN a circle, around it so as to agitate every
object on the surface. Mr.. Portervine has
left his house and erected another two hum
dted yards distant The experiment of
placing tumbler of water on a table has
been tried fifty times. In few moments
two-thirds of its contents are thrown out.
We get these facts from Capt. Ives late a
Senator from that county, and we'll known
in this city. Capt. Portervine, of the Anna
zon, plying between this city and Pearl
river, will vouch for them. We hope Mr..
Jacob Portervine will favor the public with
a detailed statement of this singular affair
