THE LECTURE

By the Rev D NJ Knapen in Union
Hall las, Wednesday evening, was very
interesting and profitable TO both old and
young. We were glad to see the hall SO
well filed. We have never before seen
better order observed BY an Ellsworth au.
dience. For once the hearers were al.
lowed to sit quietly and listen to every
word, without being au"uy<a ny the
whistling and Stamping Of fee, by gang
Of boys incapable Of appreciating the
good points-boys who generally cheer
at the wrong time.
Next Wednesday evening Ms K. will
lecture upon Astronomy. The admis.
sion fee Of ten cents will hardly keep
any person away who has a love for the
exact Sciences. This fee Will scarcely
pay the lecturer fifty cents per day for
preparing his lecture, after defraying 9th.
er attending expenses. Then let no one
stay away on account of it, or paw il
grudsingly.

fed to the streets for security. In the eastern
section some windows were broken. The shock
was followed by rumbling noise, and was felt in
the country also, seven miles from the city.
sEcosD DESPATCH.
The shock last night was undoubtedly an earth
quake. In some parts Of the city the people ran
into the streets in their night clothes. The mo-
ton lasted about ten seconds; the houses and
furniture vibrating. Many were afraid to 30 TO
bed again. The shock occurredIat eighteen min
utes past twelve.
The powder mills In this section have been heard
from. No explosion took place.
IL o'clock, Mt has been rumored here that
Bestty's powder mills, eight miles from here, eI-
ploded last night; but the train has just arrived,
and the passengers state that no explosion took
place, although the shock was sensibly felt there
