The Earthquake at Shiraz.

The following letter from Swedish phv-
sician, NJ. Fagergren, in the service of Per-
sia, gives a startling picture of the devasta-
ton caused by the recent earthquake at Shi-
raZ:
You already know that the town of Shiraz
no longer exists, having been completely de !,
'troyed by an earthquake. Upto this time
the shocks have not completely finished, and
God knows when we shall be relieved from
our anxietics. 1t is impossible for me to de-
scribe the horror of the first shock, which
lasted for five minutes All the Inhabitants
were asleep, from Which they were awakened
by noise louder than that of thunder, and
by mass of stones falling into their rooms
This, at least, is what occurred to me. Nv
first idea was TO fly, and | was fortunate G.
nough to reach the center of the large court
with those who resided in the house when it
fell to the ground. The immensely of this
disaster was only visible when daylight ap-
pearcd On every side the eve could see
nothing but heap of ruins, streets blocked
up with stones, and dead bodies being carried
on filters without the walls of the town. 1t
made the heart bleed to see the limbs of per
sons showing themselves from beneath piles
nfrubbish, and men, women and children en-
dpavOring TO Withdraw the mutilatcd bodies
81 their friends and relations from beneath
the RUNS. which, in their despair they were
tearing away with their teeth. their hands.
and their nails. Out of several thousand
victims. the lives of only a very small num-
her were saved. These scenes were rcneated
for five days, during which it is calculated
that $4,000 persons persisted On the fourth
da", large bands of briganlS made their an
Peatauce. and pundered the unfortunate in
hahitants, who were without defence and
without asylum, Of what little they had been
able to save from the ruins For three DAYS
the town was delivered up to the pilase of
these brigands, whose numbers were increas.
cd hv report that Becler Bey, the Pacha
OF Shlraz was among the dead. Shocks are
still telt three or four times in lav, and are
so violent that the houses which have resist
90 former shocks are falling to the ground
one after the other. Ny life and that of nv
wife have been saved,bu al! that had made
since ny arrival in this country, is lost. I
purchased a house three months ago, which
's now nothing bat heap Of ruins"
